In the world of Boruto, Sarada Uchiha stands out as Sasuke Uchiha’s daughter, and her lineage suggests she’s destined to be an outstanding kunoichi. With the fighting spirit inherited from her father and the diligence from her mother, Sakura Haruno, Sarada embodies the ideal leader of the new-generation Team 7, closely collaborating with Boruto, whose ambitious nature complements her aspirations.
As she aspires to become Hokage, Sarada presents a stark contrast to Boruto, who is indifferent to the idea of leadership. Progressing rapidly in her shinobi career, she has already accomplished feats at a young age that even Sasuke did not achieve during his formative years.
8 Chunin Promotion
Sasuke Was A Missing-Nin Around This Time
While the shinobi ranks often seem unimportant in the larger narrative of Naruto, they carry significant weight for those who aim for the title of Kage. These positions usually require candidates to advance through the ranks of Chunin, Jonin, and Tokubetsu Jonin to reach a level of capability befitting a leader. This context paints Sasuke’s title as Sasaukage more as a ceremonial distinction, especially given his status as a former missing-nin.
Sasuke, who defected to Orochimaru during his youth, never advanced beyond the Genin rank. In contrast, Sarada achieved the rank of Chunin after the Chunin Exams were reinstated following the Momoshiki Arc, signifying her higher position compared to Sasuke at a similar age.
7 Physical Prowess
Inherited Sakura’s Strength
Although Sasuke exhibits remarkable prowess in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, Sarada is a formidable contender in her right. Her training has allowed her to blend the Uchiha clan’s superior chakra control with Sakura’s incredible strength. Although Sarada’s physical power may not match Sakura’s raw capability, she has trained to harness enough chakra to deliver cataclysmic strikes that can shatter rock and penetrate defenses that stumped even seasoned warriors like Mitsuki and Shinki.
6 Multiple Nature Transformations
Not Just A Fire Specialist
Both Sarada and her father, Sasuke, have a natural affinity for Fire Release, commonly seen through their signature techniques like the Great Fireball and Phoenix Sage Fire. Additionally, both have also mastered the Chidori, which grants them a connection to Lightning Release. However, their paths diverge significantly in terms of their elemental proficiency.
While Sasuke’s affinity lies primarily with Fire and Lightning, Sarada has developed additional affinities with Wind Release and Yin Release. This diversity in her abilities allows her to utilize techniques like Wind Release: Gale Palm and potent healing skills.
5 Medical Ninjutsu
Learning How To Heal From The Best
It is no surprise that Sarada has gravitated towards Medical Ninjutsu, considering that her mother, Sakura, is regarded as one of the foremost experts in the field, trained by the legendary Sannin, Tsunade.
Although Sarada initially faced challenges in mastering these healing techniques, under Sakura’s mentorship, she learned how to perform significant medical procedures, including re-establishing a person’s cardiovascular function. In contrast to Sasuke, Sarada’s proficiency may stem from her unique connection to Yin Release, an ability that Sasuke lacks.
4 Third Tomoe Activation
A Faster Sharingan Master In Her Youth
While Sasuke’s awakening of the Third Tomoe in the original series underscored his remarkable skill and visual clarity, Sarada’s progression has highlighted her exceptional potential. She activated her Second Tomoe during the Chunin Exams and soon embraced her Third Tomoe during the Kara Arc, wielding this heightened ability effectively alongside the Chidori to defeat formidable opponents like Boro.
3 Chidori Mastery
Learned The Chidori Faster Than Sasuke
Both Sarada and Sasuke learn the Chidori technique as Genin, but Sarada’s natural ability to master it quickly sets her apart. This advantage can be attributed to Sasuke’s guidance; his intimate understanding of the Sharingan enhances her ability to apply the technique effectively. This was evident when she first deployed the Chidori against Boro, utilizing the Third Tomoe for precise targeting.
Conversely, Sasuke faced significant challenges when learning the Chidori from his mentor, Kakashi Hatake, who conceived the technique. Sasuke’s struggles reveal that he required considerable effort—and even relied on the Cursed Mark—to use it proficiently during pivotal battles, such as his confrontation against Naruto at the Valley of the End.
2 Omnipotence Immunity
Saw Through Kawaki’s Illusion
Sarada possesses a remarkable trait—an immunity to the concept of Omnipotence, a capability she shares with Sumire Kakei. This unique characteristic allows her to perceive the “true”history of Konoha, illustrating that Boruto is the authentic son of Naruto, contrasting with Kawaki’s narrative.
The reasons behind Sarada’s immunity remain uncertain, though it may correlate with her Mangekyo Sharingan. This ability is notable, especially since even Sasuke lacks this immunity. This dynamic plays a crucial role in Boruto’s storyline, especially after Sarada awakens her Mangekyo in response to the threat against Boruto, demonstrating her fierce loyalty and protective instincts.
1 Advanced Mangekyo Sharingan Opening
For Her Fear Of Losing Boruto
One of Sarada’s most remarkable achievements in Boruto is her early activation of the Mangekyo Sharingan, which she attained under the duress of fearing for Boruto’s safety during a critical moment of stress caused by the Omnipotence effect.
This early awakening is a significant contrast to Sasuke, who only accessed his Mangekyo after enduring profound grief following Itachi Uchiha’s death. Sarada’s activation is driven by love and concern, revealing a depth of emotional connection and maturity that hints at her immense potential moving forward.
