Boruto repeats Sasukes move: inverted rescue

Published on June 10, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The series Boruto: Two Blue Vortex brings us a plot twist that reeks of nostalgia. The villain Code threatens to kidnap Sarada Uchiha, daughter of Sasuke, who is now blind from overusing her Sharingan. Boruto, now a fugitive ninja, plans to return to the village to save her, thus reversing the famous rescue mission his uncle carried out 22 years ago with the same clan.

The technical pattern of the Sharingan: wear and consequences 🌀

Sarada's Sharingan shows a recurring technical flaw in the saga: excessive use without an adapted body causes irreversible eye damage. Unlike Sasuke, who evolved his dojutsu with the Mangekyo, Sarada forced hers in previous battles without the complete Uchiha regeneration factor. This generates functional blindness that limits her combat ability, leaving her as a vulnerable target. The plot poses a technical dilemma: power has a biological price that even Itachi's genes cannot avoid.

Code, the kidnapper who arrived late to the trend 😈

Code threatens to take Sarada away, but it seems he didn't read the Naruto villain manual. Kidnapping an Uchiha always ends badly: either an angry Sharingan appears or a drunk Sannin shows up. Boruto, who is already a fugitive, will have to explain at Konoha's customs why he returns with a rescue mission that his parents already carried out. At least this time there won't be a need to wait 500 episodes to see the outcome.
