Upon the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5, fans witnessed Boruto's homecoming to the Hidden Leaf Village, where he reunited with Sarada and Sumire. The emotionally charged scene of Sarada embracing Boruto left fans wondering about the nature of their relationship. Additionally, the chapter delved into Boruto and Sasuke's backstory, shedding light on Sasuke's transformation into a Divine Tree, as well as unveiling the identities of the Shinju and their targets.
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Amado disclosed that he was convinced someone had tampered with his memories but required concrete evidence. Sarada and Sumire were later discussing this when Boruto suddenly appeared behind them. (Note: This article contains spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.)
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5: Did the manga confirm Sarada and Boruto's relationship?

The events in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5 did not definitively confirm Boruto and Sarada's relationship. In Boruto manga chapter 19, Sumire expressed her interest in Boruto to Sarada. Since then, fans have noticed Sumire's efforts to assist and support Boruto. It's possible that her feelings for Boruto played a role in her immunity to Eida's ability.
Amado's modifications caused all non-Otsutsuki individuals to instantly fall in love with Eida. Her Shinjutsu also enabled her to swap Boruto and Kawaki's positions, leaving Sarada and Sumire out of the equation.
Therefore, it can be assumed that the jutsu had no effect on anyone who harbored feelings for either Boruto or Kawaki. Given their close relationships with Boruto, it is apparent that both characters held deep affection for him.

Sumire Kakei was disappointed to find herself in a different team than Boruto, preventing her from getting close to him. Instead, Sarada, who had been unsure about her feelings for Boruto, ended up on the same team and developed feelings for him.
This closeness on the team led to Sarada hugging Boruto willingly, while Sumire could only watch and feel her heartbreak.
However, it is important to note that both Boruto and Sarada have been close since childhood. Therefore, even if they have romantic feelings for each other, it seems unlikely that they will acknowledge them any time soon. Consequently, it can be confidently stated that Boruto and Sarada are not in a relationship.

Regardless of the events in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5, there is still potential for Sumire to develop a relationship with Boruto. Their hug could serve as a starting point, and Sumire may make extra efforts to become close to him after witnessing it. It's worth noting that Naruto didn't see Hinata as a romantic partner until The Last: Naruto the Movie, so there's still a chance for Sumire and Boruto.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of the Boruto series, I am thrilled with the latest developments in chapter 5 of the Two Blue Vortex arc. The reunion between Boruto and Sarada was a heartwarming moment that left me yearning for more. The emotional depth and complexity of their relationship have always captivated me, and I can't wait to see how it evolves in the future chapters.
The chapter also shed light on Sumire's unrequited feelings for Boruto, adding another layer of intrigue to the dynamics between the characters. Her disappointment at being placed on a different team and her heartbreak upon witnessing Sarada's hug with Boruto resonated deeply with me. Sumire's character has always been well-developed, and I appreciate the attention given to her emotions and motivations.
