BorutoandNarutoare two great anime series that were never meant to compete with each other.

Boruto, on the other hand, understands the importance of balance when using flashbacks.

Sasuke Uchiha becomes a great mentor figure, much like Kakashi and Itachi were to him.

Even thoughBorutolooks like his father, his struggles and growth are not the same.

Because of this, his story isnt about proving himself but about understanding the weight of his legacy.

Borutos biggest challenge is living in Narutos shadow, which makes him see things differently than his father did.

She isnt defined by her lineage or by the expectations placed on her as Sasuke and Sakuras daughter.

This shift allows for a deeper exploration of characters who might have been sidelined in the original series.

This approach allows fans to connect with a broader range of characters, making the world ofBorutofeel more expansive.

This shift in focus gives each character more depth,moving beyond the shadow of their parents iconic techniques.

For example, Borutos skills with scientific ninja tools and Saradas evolving Sharingan abilities emphasize their distinct paths.

Borutois less tragic but equally compelling.
