The recent chapters of the Boruto manga have brought intense developments, especially with Sasuke’s precarious situation, raising questions among fans about his fate. To clarify, Sasuke Uchiha is not dead in the Boruto series, but he is in a dire state due to being sealed by the Shinju.
After Sasuke and the protagonist embarked on a journey three years before the current manga events, they trained together extensively during this period. However, details of what occurred during these three years remain largely unexplored in the manga.
Is Sasuke Alive in Boruto?
In the current arc, a significant threat emerges in the form of Code, who gains access to a pseudo-Ten-Tailed Beast and creates mindless clones capable of sealing people across Konohagakure. Among those sealed is Sasuke Uchiha.
These clones develop a consciousness resembling those they sealed and seek to kill individuals closest to them. In Sasuke’s case, his clone targets his own daughter, Sarada Uchiha, posing a grave danger to his life.
While Sasuke is not deceased, he faces a critical situation because the clone is draining his chakra. If the draining continues unchecked, Sasuke’s life will be at risk. The urgency is clear, and immediate intervention from the protagonist is necessary to rescue Sasuke.
The protagonist’s sister, who is now a Nine-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, may also play a crucial role in the rescue mission. It’s speculated that Sarada, Sasuke’s daughter, could showcase her growth as a shinobi by participating in efforts to save her father.
The potential involvement of the protagonist, alongside his sister and Sarada, offers a compelling narrative arc that could culminate in Sasuke’s rescue from the Shinju’s seal. This storyline presents an opportunity for character development and a poignant resolution to the conflict with the Shinju.
