Naruto Reveals Boruto’s Reaction to Sasuke’s Rogue Past

With Boruto and Sasuke currently in Konoha’s past, running into older versions of characters alive and dead, a new question has been brought up to the young son of the seventh Hokage. As Boruto hangs out with a young Naruto and the rest of the young ninja of Konoha, everyone keeps informing him that Sasuke Uchiha is nowhere to be found. When the two future time travellers meet to discuss what’s been happening, the obvious question arises as to just what Sasuke was doing at this time, with an awkward conversation entering the picture as a result.

Twitter User Abdul_S17 shared the conversation between Sasuke and Boruto, with the young ninja of Konoha attempting to dig down into just where the remaining member of the Uchiha Clan was at this time, as it’s clear that the issue is definitely a touchy one:

As longtime viewers of the Naruto franchise know, Sasuke, at this time, was training beneath the series antagonist, Orochimaru, attempting to gain strength in order to stand a chance at exacting bloody vengeance against his brother Itachi. While Naruto and a handful of ninjas attempted to rescue Sasuke, it was clear that the Sharingan wielding ninja simply didn’t want to be rescued, creating an insane battle between the former best friends and culminating in the end of the first part of the Naruto anime.

Throughout the sequel series of Naruto: Shippuden, the ninja of Konoha all got older while Sasuke continued alone on his path, doing whatever was necessary in order to gain the strength he needed. Though he ultimately managed to defeat Orochimaru and inherited his powers for his own, it set the Uchiha on a dark path that took some time for him to seperate himself from.

What did you think of this awkward scene between Boruto and Sasuke? Do you think we’ll be seeing a young Sasuke appear during this time travel story arc?

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
