Boruto: Can Sarada surpass her legacy and become Hokage?

In Boruto, when we think about Hokage, the names that usually come up are the ones who were given this position. From Hashirama to Naruto Uzumaki, each Hokage has left a legacy that shaped Konoha’s destiny.

Each of them has left a legacy that shaped Konoha’s destiny. Now, there is a new character in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, who is a promising candidate, but it isn’t Naruto’s son. It’s Sarada Uchiha. Fans have been curious if she has the potential to become the Hokage.

The short answer is that Sarada Uchiha has the power to surpass her legacy and become the Hokage one day, although she still needs to put a lot of effort into achieving that goal. From the moment her character was introduced in the Boruto series, it was clear that it had been her dream to become the Hokage. As the daughter of two of the most formidable ninjas of the Naruto era, she carries the bloodline of the Uchiha clan and the mentorship of a Sannin-trained medical ninja.

There have been many characters who dreamed of becoming the Hokage, like Konohamaru. But very few understand the weight that the title carries. What truly sets her apart is how she does not want the title for fame or power. Her dream is rooted in admiration for Naruto’s values, not just his abilities. That level of introspection is critical.

When she tells everyone her dream, it is not a childish whim that would disappear over time. It’s a declaration of purpose. And of course, she is aware that the path to becoming the Hokage is not easy. Sarada still has to prove herself in battle. We haven’t seen the full extent of her Mangekyo Sharingan abilities, and her physical power, while formidable, isn’t quite on the level of Naruto or Sasuke during their peak.

One major obstacle she will have to face by herself extends beyond proving herself in battle. Sarada bears the Uchiha name. Her surname is still carrying the weight of its tragic history. Despite Itachi's heroism and Sasuke's redemption, many in the village still have a hard time with not associating the Uchiha with betrayal, rebellion, and instability.

Becoming Hokage would require Sarada to not only prove herself but also to rehabilitate her clan’s legacy in the eyes of the public. In the ongoing story, she has a real chance to clear the lingering doubts about her clan and not only become the Hokage but also rebuild her legacy.

Interestingly, while this obstacle might sound daunting, she does have many positive points. The post-timeskip Sarada is no longer the hopeful Genin of the earlier chapters. She’s taller, more confident, and visibly battle-hardened. In a world where Kawaki rules with fear and everyone views Boruto as a traitor, Sarada is one of the few who speaks her mind and acts decisively.

Why Sarada should be the Hokage in Boruto

According to how her character is being developed in Boruto, Sarada Uchiha has what it takes to become one of the greatest Hokage in history. Not because she’s perfect. Not because she’s a prodigy.

But because she cares in a world that’s forgotten how to care. Additionally, unlike past Hokage, who often bore their burdens alone, Sarada is building a network of trust. She listens. She reflects. She evolves.

Ultimately, Sarada has the heart, the heritage, and the vision. As the narrative of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to unfold, all signs point to her ascension not being a matter of if, but when.

In conclusion, Sarada’s journey in Boruto to achieving her dream is far from over. Fans might say that currently her journey has just started. Unlike many before her, she isn’t driven by ego, legacy, or sheer power, she’s driven by a deep-rooted desire to protect the people and values that make the village worth fighting for. In a world where the lines between enemy and ally blur and old systems are failing, Sarada might be the Hokage Konoha didn’t expect, but the one it truly needs.
