Sarada's Mystery Mentor: A Revolutionary Theory Shakes Up Boruto's Future

Boruto Two Blue Vortex is steadily making progress, and the next chapter is set to be released on January 18, 2024. Currently, Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada find themselves in a delicate situation, compounded by the introduction of new enemies in the manga series. These enemies, known as the Divine Tree, are fragments of the Ten Tail chakra with consciousness and awareness, sealed within certain shinobi. Fortunately, during the time skip, Boruto trained rigorously, and Sasuke made sure to pass on his knowledge of Uchiha clan techniques to the young genius.

During the time skip, it's unclear who trained Sarada Uchiha, a question that many have raised. While the manga has not provided an answer, fans speculate that hints about her trainer may have been dropped throughout the series. This article delves into fan theories and contains major spoilers from the manga.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex: Theory suggests a legendary Sannin might have trained Sarada during the time skip

There are many contenders for this position, but Sarada, a highly skilled shinobi and fast learner, has not yet had the opportunity to showcase her fighting abilities and skills, making it difficult to determine who her teacher might be. However, there are clues from earlier stages of the manga that may provide hints about Sarada's potential teacher.

In one chapter of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga, characters were depicted collecting ninja cards, each with varying levels of rarity depending on the featured ninja.

As an illustration, a typical low rarity card might showcase shinobis such as Anko and Shizune. In contrast, the high rarity SSR (Super Super Rare) cards would showcase elite shinobis like Minato Namikaze, Naruto Uzumaki, and Orochimaru.

Boruto possessed a Sasuke card and previously had a Naruto card, which he traded with Kawaki in exchange for the Minato Namikaze card. In the time skip, Sasuke served as the mentor to the young prodigy. Additionally, the protagonist mastered one of Minato Namikaze's most difficult techniques - the Flying Raijin. Similarly, Sarada Uchiha obtained the rare SSR Orochimaru card.

Speculation among fans suggests that this could be a hint at who will mentor Sarada during the time skip. If Orochimaru ends up training Sarada Uchiha, we could see her mastering some of the most powerful shinobi techniques.

It may seem unlikely, but it's not completely impossible to consider the idea that Sarada could have mastered the use of Sage Mode. With the impressive progress we've seen in the younger generation's combat skills, it's reasonable to anticipate the same from Sarada.

However, it's crucial to acknowledge that this is just a fan theory, and only time will tell if it holds true. In the meantime, we encourage fans to patiently await the release of the next Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter, which could provide more insight into this speculation.

Stay tuned for more anime and manga news as 2024 progresses.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I'm thrilled about the possibility of Sarada Uchiha being trained by the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru. It would be an unexpected twist and add a new dimension to her character. Orochimaru is known for his mastery of forbidden techniques and his ruthless pursuit of power, which could provide Sarada with a unique set of skills and abilities.

However, I also have mixed feelings about this theory. On the one hand, it would be exciting to see Sarada learn from one of the most powerful and enigmatic characters in the Naruto universe. On the other hand, I worry that it might overshadow her own growth and development as a shinobi. Sarada is a talented and determined kunoichi in her own right, and I would hate for her to be defined solely by her connection to Orochimaru.
