The thrilling developments in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continue to surprise fans all over the world. While some are impressed by Jura’s showcase of strength, others can’t help but see Boruto as the “new Sasuke” due to his behavior reminiscent of the Uchiha powerhouse. As a result, many fans believe it’s more appropriate for Boruto to embrace Uchiha, as he’s expected to walk along the same path as Sasuke.
From the very beginning of the Boruto manga, Naruto's son has always been in awe of Sasuke. At some point, Boruto even wished he had a different father, someone like Sasuke, who's far cooler than Naruto. Over time, his relationship with Sasuke improves, to the point that even Naruto thinks his son is becoming more like his rival. However, Boruto still reminds Sasuke of Naruto, especially his determination to never give up in the face of adversity.

Boruto’s Behavior in Two Blue Vortex Chapter 22 Reminds Fans of Sasuke
Fans Think Boruto May Be the “New Sasuke”
In the recently released Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22, Boruto is currently in the middle of a high-stakes fight against Jura, the strongest among the Human God Trees.

While many fans were impressed with the exchange of blows between Boruto and Jura, others noticed the growing similarities between Sasuke and Boruto. According to some fans, they recognized Sasuke in Boruto for staying silent while the enemy kept on talking, asking questions one after another. Instead of answering Jura, Boruto only stared at him, much like Sasuke when it comes to his opponents.

In other words, Boruto prefers to prove his point by action rather than by words. With this, many fans agreed that Boruto is becoming more like Sasuke than Naruto. If Naruto were in Boruto’s shoes, fans believe he would have lectured Jura about the power of love, friendship, and believing in himself, completely the opposite of Sasuke.
What Kind of Relationship Do Boruto and Sasuke Have?
A Closer Look at Boruto and Sasuke’s Mentor-Student Bond
In a nutshell, Boruto and Sasuke have a master and apprentice relationship. Sasuke accepted Boruto as his student after the young shinobi learned the vanishing variant of the Rasengan. Since then, Sasuke has started spending time with Boruto, from shuriken to sword training. Beyond the combat skills and techniques, Sasuke also hammered some good morals and values into Boruto, which helped him become a better shinobi.
Over time, Sasuke also became a father figure to Boruto. He has complete trust in Boruto’s abilities, most especially his potential to surpass not just him but also Naruto. In addition, he always has Boruto’s back, assuring him of his worries, especially after he was imprinted with a karma seal. More than anything, Sasuke understands Boruto, including the difficult actions and decisions he had to make.
"I'll be honest with you. Killing you is easy."—Boruto
Even after Sasuke was affected by Eida’s omnipotence, he knew that something bad was happening and that Boruto, as well as Sarada, might be the only individuals who would be able to deal with it. This speaks volumes about Sasuke’s trust in Boruto, and vice versa.
Is Boruto Truly Becoming More Like Sasuke Than Naruto?
Boruto’s End Goal
While it’s true that Boruto aims to walk along the same path as Sasuke, instead of Naruto, he still wants to do it in his own ninja way. And although Kawaki teases him as an Uchiha adoptee, given his ninja ensemble as well as his techniques and swordsmanship hammered by his master, Boruto is still a far different person from Sasuke.
Just by comparing their behavior alone, one could easily spot the major differences between Boruto and Sasuke. Unlike the younger Sasuke, who was colder, aloof, reserved, and basically rude to everyone, Boruto warms up to other characters, especially his possible love interest, Sarada. Even Sasuke himself believes that Boruto is different from him when Naruto tells him his son is becoming more like his rival.
"Listen, he was full of weaknesses. He was a good-for-nothing. You don't need to understand who Naruto is now. You need to know about the Naruto who made it this far."—Sasuke to Boruto
As the plot unfolds in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it’s hard for fans not to see Sasuke in Boruto because of his ensemble, demeanor, and fighting style. Admittedly, he shares more similarities with Sasuke than Naruto, considering the bond they forged through the years. Still, despite the similarities, Boruto is still Boruto with a path uniquely his own.
