I agree with you. I don’t think she is seriously in love with Boruto. I think she was baiting Sarada too. While I’d like Sarada to just do her own thing, there have been just too many not so subtle moments where she blushes around Boruto, thinks of him as cool, and sometimes just plain enamored by him.
Writing is practically on the wall on this pairing with Mitsuki as the love rival :bdpf:
If she was in love with Boruto we would have know like with Hinata. we see her crushing on Kagura so we know what that looks like when she does it. and most of the time with Boruto she is just saying she liked his dad as the 7th Hokage or to get to work.
Here are the list of interactions that make people think they have a thing
"After Boruto smashes his father's Hokage stone face, he is sent with his classmate to help to carve the monument back to its original. Sumire says that it's an honor to help with the Hokage Monument and says she likes manual labor. Hearing that,
Boruto compliments her saying that she's worthy of her role as delegate." manual labor. wink.
or how about this time.......
"Later, Boruto takes a break with his friends, playing video games,
when Sumire notices that their break lasted too long and tells them to return to work, Boruto listens hassle-free to her command." soul mates confrimed.
Mitsuki does not need a love rival he can just lay spores.
