Also Sarada is much more well adjusted than a lot of previous Uchiha so unless something extreme happens way later in the series she’s likely not going to go down the same path

You think she'll get a big moment like that at some point/

I mentioned earlier she's part of why I would be interested in trying Boruto but while reading up on discussions of it, somebody said they've completely neglected her character or a long time now. Apparently the claim is they've neglected every character except a couple.

Exactly why you should watch the anime instead as it’s much, much better in that regard

Going by the last chapter Sarada might have some part to play soon, god willing it isn't as a woman for Ada to get jealous about.

If Ada realizes Sarada is also immune to her charm and the two start a healthy and loving relationship? that's cool tho

Welcome to a shonen battle series!

If I might offer some arcs to watch?

The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (Episodes 19-24) - Sarada focus

Chunin Exam/Versus Momoshiki (Episodes 51-66) - Boruto focus

Mitsuki's Disappearance (Episodes 71-92) - Mitsuki focus


The rest is pretty much the manga chapter adaptations
Mujina Bandits (Episodes 141-151)

Kara Actuation (Episodes 157-175)

Ao (Episodes 178-187)

Kara Clash (Episodes 188-205)

Ōtsutsuki Awakening (Episodes 206-220)

We don't know that she's immune. She said like Shikamaru she did not get a clear look at her.

<Sarada> Papa I'm blind

<Sasuke, on Deathbed> Hi blind, I'm dad *dies*

Sarada is going to solve both the blindness issue and the Mangekyo issue in one fell swoop and will end up with a sick eye patch to boot.

I appreciate the suggestions, although I do fully intend to watch everything when I can, from start to finish. I have plenty of free time, it's just motivation that is the problem. I used to be as big a Naruto fan as you ever saw many, many years ago. Even after that I was interested in where it all went. But I was recently reminded of something which pissed me off to no end and that is what Kishi did with Karin.

I'd almost be more forgiving if he had never thought of starting something with her. Sasuke tries to kill her and she still loves him? Fine. That's horrible but it also shows Kishi is just kinda stupid. The fact he's aware enough to give us a scene with Karin being like "Sasuke tried to kill me..." so she not only no longer blindly adores him, but even wants revenge, is great! Only to have Karin fangirl over Sasuke when they ae reunited like nothing at all happened. I've never seen a writer so blatantly poo poo on his own characters and the audience. He had Karin act like a rational human being for once with the potential for growth and then snatched it all away. Sakura at least got a whole arc before Kish gave up on her.

I dunno, I've seen a lot of bad writing in my life, but this was just plain offensive in how much Kishi showed he did not care. And so I asked why should I care.

kishi's female characters are some of the worst in the biz, precisely because he teases interesting concepts, strength, and character development for them and then five minutes later it's "did you really think sakura/karin/etc. would grow as a person and become strong enough to keep up with The Boys and stop caring about their opinions? haha, nah"

he should unironically just sit around and invent cool ninjas and ninja techniques and poo poo and then let someone else write stories with those concepts because he is very bad at a lot of the components of good storytelling but comes up with really interesting things to put in his bad stories

Boruto is way better about its female cast at least, so that's one of the many advantages it has over Naruto.

Is there still a giant Uchiha eye repository hidden underground somewhere?

Also, I forget the exact requirements of getting the eternal mangekyu sharingan, but is it possible for Sarada to exchange an eye with her dad so they both benefit?

There's nothing technical stopping two Mangekyo users from swapping eyes for EMS, but it breaks the theme of the Sharingan - ever increasing power in exchange for ever increasing hatred. The theme demands an Uchiha to be so lost in hatred that murdering their own brother to steal their eyes is a thing that happens.

it's entirely possible that madara and sasuke are the only two to ever achieve eternal mangekyo. i guess kakashi sort of did so very briefly?

The eyes are merged, so one of them has to be blind.

Obito's spirit inhabited Kakashi after his death against Kaguya which let him use both mangekyo and manifest Susanoo, rather than a proper EMS, which needs two pairs of eyes, rather than a shared pair split among two people

We never learned what Madara's Mangekyo powers were. The copypasta uses Itachi's Mangekyo powers.

it was a weird spiritual halfway measure that temporarily had the same results as physical eye swapping. so like i said, sort of.

Seems logical that Sarada's sharingan destiny will be unlocking its even greater potential rooted in love and devotion. If this makes it to a third mains series, her and Bort's kid will be the true ninja Jesus with all the eye hax, limitless chakra, and unconditional love and whatever to bring salvation to the world. Until power creep overtakes them.

I was a bit thrown off by how much time passed in that first chapter. I didn't even notice they made her a grown up for the escort mission so the beginning of this chapter was a bit jarring. This is pretty slow developing so far, hopefully it's building to something interesting.

At least Sarada's parents actually go out and do things

Naruto literally had to be kidnapped by Momoshiki and Isshiki to get him out of the village, and I'm looking forward to that happening a third time when we finally get to the events in the flash-forward at the start of the series where he's MIA
