Boruto has been a tale of growth and surpassing past limitations, with each character striving to become stronger and fulfill their purpose in the narrative.
From Boruto awakening his Karma to Himawari’s connection with Kurama and Sarada’s journey to carry on her father’s legacy, the story is rich with themes of personal development and overcoming challenges.
However, amidst the myriad of characters gaining new powers, there are also those who have lost them, like Kakashi Hatake.
Kishimoto’s Plan to Restore Kakashi’s Sharingan
In Naruto Shippuden, Kakashi’s Sharingan was lost during his and Obito’s battle with Kaguya, resulting in a tragic sacrifice. Despite the loss, there remains a possibility for Kakashi to regain his Sharingan, as suggested by a theory proposed by @NCHammer23 on YouTube.
The key lies in Obito’s laboratory, which is accessible to Sasuke. This laboratory contains shelves filled with Sharingan eyes collected by Obito through mysterious means.
While the fate of the laboratory remains unknown, Sasuke could potentially lead Kakashi to the location where he could choose a Sharingan eye for himself and regain his lost power. However, Sasuke’s current status, particularly his loss of the Rinnegan in Boruto, raises questions about whether he still has access to the laboratory.
Nonetheless, Kakashi’s potential resurgence with the Sharingan presents an intriguing possibility, especially in the context of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
With Naruto sealed away and Sasuke incapacitated, Kakashi emerges as a candidate to fill the role of a guardian angel for Konoha. His experience, protective abilities, and battle prowess make him well-suited to mentor the younger generation and watch over the village in the absence of its main defenders.
Should Kakashi regain his Sharingan, he would not only reclaim his former strength but also assume a mentor-like figure, guiding and protecting the next generation of shinobi. His resurgence could usher in a new chapter of growth and development for both Kakashi and the characters he mentors, ensuring the legacy of Konoha lives on.
