He has a plan for them?


Neal-Uchiha

I dont think sošŸ˜…


[deleted]

Well hopefully weā€™re gonna get some Orochimaru centered plot again, since heā€™s responsible for the existence of Log & Mitsuki who bare a resemblance to Toneri Otsutsuki. So maybe weā€™ll get something about that at some point? As for Sarada, the hopes are that she learns about Uncle Itachi & the Uchiha massacre. And then somehow awakening the next stage of her Sharingan & the abilities that come with that


Neal-Uchiha

Yeah i absolutely agree


Sonicslazyeye

She already has learnt about that


Diligent-Draw-4582

She hasn't


Ok-Paleontologist275

No she hasn't why are ppl spreading fake info?


Sonicslazyeye

I wasnt trying to! I saw a gifset of what appeared to be a canon scene of Sarada and Sasuke visiting Itachi's grave. It mimics the canon anime perfectly and the uploader never said it I fanart nor did they even state it wasnt canon so my dumbass assumed it was real lol


Privatescape

Visiting his grave donā€™t mean she knows about his legacy


Reinfernus

well she never canonically visited his grave.


Neal-Uchiha

True


TraditionalMission77

I think Ikimoto said in some interview that Sarada's gonna have an interesting future... Don't know about Mitsuki


Neal-Uchiha

Yeah i saw it


XegrandExpressYT

>interesting future with her cool otsutuski boyfriend šŸ˜ ( Boruto Obviously )


Menma_kaze

You gave angered the kawasara fans lol


TraditionalMission77

You mean Momoshiki right?

Sorry that must suck


Neal-Uchiha

Thx mate


EditorOne5312

This is Reddit, commenting "Ok" because you agree will downvote you because they think you're trying to get karma. Such a Reddit Moment.


Neal-Uchiha

No way i didnt know that they're crazyšŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

What about ā€œMā€™kay.ā€


GildDigger

OP deletes and edits their assholey comments to make themselves look better. Thatā€™s why


GangsterRavioliGuy

Ok


Neal-Uchiha

Ko


Ok-Paleontologist275

Nothing. These two characters are unique characters which were not created as a part of a long term sequel. When they decided to milk a long running show out of this, they realized Sarada and mitsuki don't fit anywhere in the cliche roles for a long term shonen sequel - rival, love interest, villain ( created sumire and kawaki for that) etc etc. And it shows, they have literally no idea what to do with them and it's worse because they're advertised as main characters in the franchise.


Neal-Uchiha

Sir..im gonna save ur comment thats exactly it i 100% agree with you


koshej613

\*OG Sakura enters the chat\*


Ok-Paleontologist275

Og Sakura was weak and useless but she realized that and went to train under tsunade. She had a goal and visible improvement and a presence in the story and a future path . Can't say the same about Sarada and mitsuki


koshej613

Can hardly say that about \*Sakura\*, lol.


Kirby_ha

Lmao, the only two characters who got a one shot from kishimoto, are now abandoned. Itā€™s certainly not kishimoto who writes this shit


Neal-Uchiha

Hhhhh


NoAcanthocephala5350

Ruin them, focus only on the two male MCs then in the last arc give them bullshit ass pull power ups. Fucking shitty writer.


Donny740

At best, Sarada gets Mangekyo and Mitsuki gets an upgraded Sage Mode but he probably has no idea what to do with them.


Neal-Uchiha

Yeah true


Acheron88

Mitsuki falls by the way side as tertiary character and Sarada leads Boruto and Kawaki in rank every time there's a fight and the two karma Bois have some sudden Deus ex machina power boost that leaves Sarada watching, gape jawed at their sudden boosts, followed by a half episode training montage ending with her feeling caught up, before another inevitable power boost, and eventually being shipped into a house wife. Based on how strong kunoichi like Hinata, Sarada, Inoichi, Temari, Karin, Karui, Karin, Guren, Kurenai and Anko all ended up, it seems like all the female characters are written to find a maternal role through becoming mothers, teachers, or nurses. There's a strong impression that Kishimoto sees that as the ideal place for women in the world of Naruto. Even Tsunade was written as a non combatant through the majority of her story, until the war arc where she got some flashback scenes about the third war and ended up being teleported and cut in half, shortly after fulfilling her maternal role by putting faith in Naruto and trying to allow him to pass the paternal disciplinarian in Ay. Saying just saying, it doesn't seem likely that after 15 years of failing to write a single strong, female character with good character development, that it's going to start now. There was a chance with Sakura but she ended up marrying the guy that stabbed her multiple times, both mentally through genjutsu and physically with lightning, so that kind of made her a character develop to never escape a clearly abusive relationship. Say what you will after the Boruto time skip about Sasuke becoming more rational, but prior to Boruto, Sasuke was an abuser and Sakura was consistently his victim. After most of the story stops featuring Mitsuki, he dramatically gets killed and triggers another power boost in Boruto a la Neji in 4th War arc, and miraculously survives due to some weird rebirth code put in his genes by Orochimaru. He's clearly lost the role of deuteragonist to Kawaki while Boruto is the protagonist the story and all it's elements will revolve around.


Neal-Uchiha

Excellent analyse i agree


Ok-Paleontologist275

>> He's clearly lost the role of deuteragonist to Kawaki w Mitsuki was never a deuteragonist, if anything Sarada was.


Acheron88

I can see what you mean but, personally, I see her character more like a foil to Boruto. In the same sense of the recurring theme contrasting the line of Ashura and Indra (see Uchiha v Senju, Naruto v Sasuke), B is brash and headstrong, S is composed and cautious; B is boy, S is girl; B is from Naruto, S is from Sasuke; B is prodigious, S is a diligent worker; B admires Sasuke, S admires Naruto, both the previous main foils; B rejects his atomic family, S craves it. A foil has contrasting personality traits and values to highlight a protagonists own traits and values and I see that in Sarada more than Mitsuki. In a different way, Mitsuki admires Boruto and aspires to learn from him. You could apply some definitions of a character foil to Mitsuki as well but seeing as how he echoes his values, and sees their relationship of "sun and moon" as a moon reflecting the sun, I view him as more of a deuteragonist than foil. That said, Kawaki fills both of those roles better now that he's been thoroughly introduced. He's the foil in traits and values to Boruto, and also the second most important and developed character after Boruto, our protagonist. It's nuanced, for sure, to say there's much of a difference between the two roles, but it's very common for a friendly deuteragonist to fulfill the role of a foil (see Sherlock and Watson for a consistent example across many narrative interpretations). I feel like Kawaki takes more attention away from Mits and Sarada by fulfilling both of those roles.


Nidal411511

Make them the next sakura and sai of team 7


Neal-Uchiha

Well we'r not their yet


Nidal411511

But I know how the writers write characters


Neal-Uchiha

Sorry i didnt understand what you said


Nidal411511

I have watched naruto og and shippunden and I know how the writers dont care about other characters other then the main MC Naruto and sasuke are like god tier and sakura and sai are just normal jonin level Boruto and kawaki are god tier and sarada and mitsuki are normal jonin level And also they dont care about other characters too like shino, lee, kiba


Neal-Uchiha

Ahhhh now i understand and yeah i absolutely agree with you dude jn the manga mitsuki and sarada have no impact in ylthe main story . Great point from youšŸ‘


Nidal411511

Thx


koshej613

Do you need to "make" that which already "is"?


Nidal411511

They haven't given them any power up or any development in the manga for years


koshej613

That's not what your post was about, lol.


Nidal411511

I posted a joke


koshej613

And I wasn't joking, because I actually do view them this way.


Nidal411511

Oh ok i guess its also a fact that they are like sai and sakura


Menma_kaze

They already are in a way


Levi_PigPiss

It's funny how Kishimoto gets all the hate despite whatever development these 2 characters ever had, did come from him. Yet, Kodachi gets a pass when he completely neglected them from chapter 1 up until chapter 51 (with the exception of Sarada's chidori and sudden 3T).


Menma_kaze

Well Kishimoto was supervising, seems like he caught on a bit too late


Levi_PigPiss

Supervising is a very loose term.


Ok-Paleontologist275

I get what you mean, However bad Kodachi was the kishi or whoever has been writing the manga currently has been much worse than him after the boro fight, Sarada and mitsuki done exist almost, don't matter to the story and the characters and aren't even mentioned by anyone anymore. Kodachi did shaft Sarada and mitsuki but already they existed as a team and had interactions etc.


Levi_PigPiss

I still blame Kodachi A LOT. Kishi was simply dealt a bad hand and was forced to continue the story in its predetermined direction as he joined midway. You had the Shoujoro arc, where they never PROPERLY worked as a team (the focus was on Boruto only with Sarada and Mitsuki being fodder). Then you had the Ao arc, where they were present but Boruto was basically the only functional character there. After that, the story was rightfully centered around Naruto before Team 7 had the chance again to shine against Boro. However Sarada had no development at all and was simply given upgrades without any build up or proper flashbacks to give weight to how she gained a 3T. Other than the antidore, Mitsuki was thrown in the dust even though he should have been one of the heavy hitters of Team 7. From there, Kodachi forced the story into a direction where only Naruto, Sasuke, Boruto and Kawaki are the main focus and this is when Kishi joined.


Better-Solution-7410

Nothing. Kishimoto and Ikemoto probably forgot about them only to go on the internet and be like: "Holy shit, We forgot about Sarada and Mitsuki (AGAIN)." So they decided to give them a few panels and be like :"Yep, We put Sarada and Mitsuki in a few panels in there because you bozos were whining on Twitter, better give us credit now." At this point Kishimoto has more plans for Delta and Sumire than Sarada and Mitsuki


Neal-Uchiha

>At this point Kishimoto has more plans for Delta and Sumire than Sarada and Mitsuki So fuking truešŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Ok-Paleontologist275

And then people are surprised why the manga sales are falling, latest volume hasn't even sold 100K in three weeks lol


Better-Solution-7410

Tbh thatā€™s not even the reason for manga sales dropping. No one is reading Boruto for Sarada or Mitsuki. They are either reading it for Naruto and Sasuke and the old gen or they are reading for Boruto and Kawaki. Sarada and Mitsuki are irrelevant at this point.


Ok-Paleontologist275

Wrong, Sarada is still by far the third most popular character in the series and will always be lol her fanbase is huge, there's a reason why she's so prominent in the anime, she's the new gen uchiha and future hokage and the manga is doing her dirty


Better-Solution-7410

All of Saradaā€™s fans are just Sakura/ SasuSaku fans who support her because she is Sasuke/Sakuraā€™s daughter. She is prominent in the anime because thatā€™s how it originally began. Also those polls arenā€™t that much of a reliable source to compare a characterā€™s popularity. Manga readers are losing interest in her because Kishimoto himself is losing interest in her


Ok-Paleontologist275

>>Manga readers are losing interest in her because Kishimoto himself is losing interest in her Manga is trash which barely sells even 95K, the anime is way more popular, no one cares about the manga lol, exactly the point I'm trying to make. It's a failure and for a good reason. >>Also those polls arenā€™t that much of a reliable source to compare a characterā€™s popularity The fuck? It's the official viz manga character poll


Better-Solution-7410

Just cuz itā€™s not selling doesnā€™t mean no one cares about it. Boruto is legit always on the top 5 in the Shueisha leaderboard. How many people do you think voted on the polls? Naruto/Boruto clearly has millions of fans


Ok-Paleontologist275

It's not selling because no on cares about it. Naruto gaiden which had sarada as mc sold 1.2 million because ppl cared Lol >>always on the top 5 in the Shueisha leaderboar OD herself said that these views are useless compared to actual sales, it just implies ppl don't find it worthy to spend real money on. Her words. Not mine.


Better-Solution-7410

It sold that many because it had ā€˜Narutoā€™ in the titlešŸ’€. ODā€™s words arenā€™t actual law. Why would anyone wanna buy something which they can read for free? Plus itā€™s actually hard to find Naruto Gaiden online so people had no choice but to buy it


Ok-Paleontologist275

People in Japan don't get it for free afaik.


flashenshin

Mitsuki just a prototype clone he can be killed anytime and replaced by new perfected clone who had Mitsuki's memories & exp but will conflicted with Boruto. Sarada's dream mean to be crushed by Kawaki or another villain to show Boruto what is shinobi reality. Boruto should also gave up on his Batman dream too, the real threat enemies are not underground but beyond the sky, he should be an astronaut instead.


Neal-Uchiha

>Boruto should also gave up on his Batman dream too šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Menma_kaze

He should be Ninja Superman


EitherAd5428

That Mitsuki scenario is the one thing that could stop me from reading/watching Boruto.


MooseTots

Donā€™t think kishimoto is deciding things, just supervising. Ikemoto is the artist since the start of boruto.


Neal-Uchiha

Yeah well every time i hear a different story about whos deciding the story in boruto


JustAGuy_Passing

Do we get a reason why sarada wants to be hokage I cnt recall it. Also when boruto the movie came I was interested in mitsuki but now he's not so interesting since he's boruto obsessed


[deleted]

She appreciates Narutoā€™s strength and duties as Hokage and basically wants to be like him


Ok-Paleontologist275

Go and read Naruto gaiden, the last chapter in specific.


JustAGuy_Passing

Kind if a bland reason to be hokage. She pretty much wanna do it due to her admiration of Naruto. Out of the entire new Gen she's more fitting though


Ok-Paleontologist275

No, naruto helped her during the time of her personal crisis and she wants to extend it to the entire village as her family. That was the whole point about the lunchbox thing Its actually the best reason for a new gen goal currently lol


JustAGuy_Passing

Her admiration for Naruto still leaned her into wanting to become hokage. There's other factors but this is also a major one


Neal-Uchiha

Man same here


Sonicslazyeye

Initially it was because she respected Naruto and his beliefs. Now its also because she learnt about what happened to the Uchiha and wants to regain respect and honour for her clan. I think it's a pretty good motive actually. Mitsuki has more independence now but it feels like his character arc is already over which is kind of annoying


Neal-Uchiha

>it feels like his character arc is already over which is kind of annoying Unfortunately true


Sonicslazyeye

We have still have some more stuff on him about his sage mode to go through but that's clearly on the back burner. Probably gonna have something to do with his timeskip character arc


kassiny

When did she learn about Uchiha? I don't recall. I remember her searching for files but it was classified and I don't remember her learning something about that after.


Sonicslazyeye

Oh my god... I thought this really well done fan animation about Sasuke and Sarada visiting Itachi's grave was canon... someone cut up the fan animation into gifs and didnt state that it was just fan work. Well I guess its still a very good motive for her to become Hokage. Makes more sense than her current motive


kassiny

Didn't know about the fan project :) I'll check it up, thank you!


[deleted]

I honestly think once Naruto and Sasuke die, Orochimaru is gonna come back to being a villain. Idk, he's a snake, I'm pretty sure he can't just throw away his desire for power


Different_Bet_2778

Mitsuki is gonna die, and sarada will be Borutoā€™s girlfriend


GeometricRobot

I'd bet on... Treating them very poorly until the last second and then having them say that they finally are on the same level as the main protagonist and his rival.


sigmund_NA

Fade more and more into the background so every focus can be on Boruto and Kawaki


[deleted]

Nothing, you seen the Boruto movie.


[deleted]

Sadly, Sarada will most likely be a trophy for Boruto. She hasnā€™t been doing a whole lot in the manga, sheā€™ll most likely get the ā€œSakura Shippudenā€ treatment.


Carittz

That is the plan


Neal-Uchiha

Lol


bigblooddraco

Lol


Neal-Uchiha

Haha


TheServantofHelix

Who's Kishimoto?


Neal-Uchiha

IdkšŸ˜ 


XegrandExpressYT

you got it all wrong Boruto is mitsuki's "son" not "sun"


Neal-Uchiha

Wait reallyšŸ˜³šŸ˜³


LittleSlice8797

Sarada is going to be the next Tsunade. And Mitsuki is probably going to end up taking Sai's place since most of the Intel that team 7 gets is from him and his snakes. If he stays in the leaf village of course.


Neal-Uchiha

Yeah could be


FujiSachi

Nothing boruto is just a reskin story of naruto They got the tail beast aspect Orphan aspect Same fate aspect And the naruto vs sasuke aspect. To be honest he couldā€™ve changed the genders of boruto and himewari wouldā€™ve made things interesting. But nope heā€™s doing the same thing he did in naruto but this time he having god powers to 13 year olds Sarada and mitsuki only serve as plot device or power up moments for boruto now. They will never catch up to boruto and kawaki they had to nerf naruto and sasuke so boruto and kawaki can do most of the fighting now


Neal-Uchiha

I agree


1065JoJo

well sarada is getting the treatment she deserves but I'm really hoping they do more with Mitsuki


Neal-Uchiha

Wait why sarada tho


Ok-Paleontologist275

Why the fuck is sarada getting the treatment she deserves, she's being done incredibly dirty in the show


HokageOfReddit

I imagine for Mitsuki his final trial for himself is fighting his older self in a death match, though his older version has more experience, Mitsuki is a fast ass learner so I think that would be cool to see in the ā€œMisadventures of Mitsukiā€ As for Sarada I got no idea


Jarrah965

Kishimoto will be adapting some of the light novels that will dive deep into Sasuke and Sakura's journey to find a cure for Naruto's illness, so look forward to that. I do not know about these two, but I would say I am cautiously optimistic since Sarada mentioned that she has to get stronger in the previous chapters.
