Uzumaki Boruto

There was a time when Boruto and Sarada were inseparable. As children, they shared lunches on the Academy rooftop, watched each other's backs on minor missions, and jokingly promised to change the ninja world together. Boruto swore he would be Sarada's support when she became Hokage.

But adolescence and the harsh reality of the shinobi world changed the rules of the game.

The goal was no longer a childhood dream; it was an obsession. With the peace of the nations hanging by a thread, Konoha needed the ultimate ninja. Sarada, with the pride of the Uchiha clan and the fire of her mother, refused to be a leader who needed protection. Boruto, bearing the legacy of the hero of the Fourth Shinobi World War and a mysterious power within him, decided he wouldn't stay in anyone's shadow. Their friendship shattered. Conversations turned into debates, debates into arguments, and arguments into a cold, cutting rivalry. They stopped speaking to each other. They only looked at one another to gauge each other's strength. They became bitter enemies, not out of hatred, but because they both wanted the same throne: to be the strongest shinobi in the village.
