The True Power Unleashed: Naruto and Sasuke's Epic Journey Continues in Boruto Part 2!

Highlights

Naruto and Sasuke have been through a lot in Boruto, with Naruto losing Kurama and Sasuke losing a significant portion of his power.

Naruto is currently sealed, and Sasuke's whereabouts remain unknown. However, fans can anticipate their return in Part 2 of Boruto. Once the conflict between Boruto and Kawaki is settled, Naruto and Sasuke are expected to assume vital roles in combating more formidable adversaries and safeguarding the world.

Boruto Part 1 has concluded and the story immediately went on a short hiatus. In August, Boruto returned with Part 2 and the series is now in full swing with intense action. The beloved characters, all grown up and stronger, have made their comeback. Nonetheless, Naruto Uzumaki, the 7th Hokage, and Sasuke Uchiha, the Other Hokage, are currently missing in Boruto. These two characters are the heart of any Naruto series, and the sequel, Boruto, is no exception. Despite their previous mistreatment in the series, there is hope for Naruto and Sasuke in Boruto's future.

Naruto's Current Fate

Naruto Uzumaki faced far more difficulties than Sasuke in the Boruto series. Despite starting off strong, Naruto's journey took a downward spiral towards the end of part 1. The catalyst for this downfall was the arrival of Isshiki Otsutsuki, an incredibly powerful opponent who proved to be unbeatable for any Shinobi. In order to face Isshiki, Naruto had to tap into a new level of power known as Baryon Mode. This allowed him to overpower his opponent and ultimately bring about their defeat. However, this victory came at a great cost - Naruto lost his connection with Kurama, significantly weakening him. Without Kurama, Naruto became as vulnerable as any ordinary human, marking the start of his decline in the Boruto storyline.

Following this, it became evident that Naruto needed protection. His adopted son, Kawaki, took it upon himself to ensure Naruto's safety by sealing him in the dimension of Daikokuten. In an attempt to eliminate the threat to Naruto, Kawaki then set out to kill Boruto, who possessed Otsutsuki powers. However, things took a turn for the worse when Kawaki failed to kill Boruto and inadvertently switched lives with him instead. This marked the beginning of the timeskip in Boruto, with Naruto Uzumaki remaining sealed away since then.

Sasuke's Current Fate

Sasuke Uchiha faced a similar fate in Boruto. Initially, he possessed immense power and was able to overcome any opponent. Although he faced challenges when dealing with the Otsutsuki, with Naruto's assistance, he always managed to persevere. However, everything changed when Isshiki emerged as the main enemy. Despite their joint effort, both Sasuke and Naruto suffered significant losses. Naruto lost Kurama, while Sasuke sacrificed a significant portion of his power when Momoshiki attacked his Rinnegan, resulting in a drastic weakening.

Despite his weakened state, Sasuke remains a legendary figure, playing a more prominent role in the story compared to Naruto. In the first part of Boruto, he saved Boruto Uzumaki and together, they escaped the village during a critical event involving Boruto and Kawaki. Sasuke also actively trained Boruto during the timeskip, but his whereabouts and fate remain unknown to fans since then. In part 2, although Boruto has returned, Sasuke's absence has raised questions about his ultimate destiny.

The Return Of Naruto And Sasuke

Fans are eagerly speculating about the possible return of Sasuke and Naruto in Boruto. Rest assured, they will indeed make a comeback. Despite the series not revolving around them initially, these two characters hold a significant role as the foundation of the story. Without Naruto and Sasuke, Boruto would not have captured the attention of its dedicated fanbase. Nevertheless, the precise timing of their return in Boruto part 2 is a topic that requires further consideration.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for the return of Sasuke Uchiha, who embarked on a journey with Boruto at the end of part 1 but hasn't made his way back to the village. During their three-year timeskip, Sasuke and Boruto were pursued by Code and engaged in multiple battles, resulting in Code sustaining a severe eye injury. It is likely that Sasuke, who was stronger than Boruto at that time, had to confront Code. While Sasuke's potential death is a possibility, it would be highly unlikely for the writers to address it offscreen. Sasuke's survival is crucial for the progression of the story, and fans should anticipate his return, especially with Konoha currently under attack.

On the other hand, the wait for Naruto Uzumaki's return will be considerably longer. Before his comeback, the threat of Code must be addressed. Additionally, Boruto and Kawaki need to have their own confrontation and resolve their conflicts, as this holds significant importance in Naruto's storyline. Once Boruto manages to bring Kawaki to his senses, Naruto can finally make his return.

What Role Will Naruto And Sasuke Play In Boruto?

The Boruto series will not end after resolving the conflict between Boruto and Kawaki. Fans expect the story to continue as there are still threats looming over the world, including other Otsutsuki and powerful characters like Shibai. Naruto and Sasuke will undoubtedly play a role when it comes to facing these stronger enemies. Despite their current weakened state, fans can anticipate them to regain their former strength, possibly through the power of Omnipotence or other means. Having achieved unimaginable heights in the past, it is not unlikely for them to do so again. While Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada are formidable, they will require assistance. The responsibility lies with the adults and experienced ninjas like Naruto and Sasuke to lead the charge.

You can access Boruto through Viz Media. Fans have the official and free option to read the series on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the upcoming chapter of Boruto, titled Boruto part 2 chapter 3, is scheduled for October 20, 2023.
