Boruto's official preview of Chapter 21: Two Blue Vortex, revealed on the franchise's website on Monday, April 14, brought out a moment loaded with emotion and symbolism: a flashback between Sasuke and Boruto that discusses the wake of the Sarada Mangekyo of Sarada.
The scene, marked by tension, confidence and uncertainty, shows Sasuke depositing faith in his daughter's eyes, even without fully understanding the power he has awakened. Meanwhile, recent events on the battlefield are still climbing in gravity, hostage, betrayal and painful sacrifices.
Sarada awakens her power amid chaos
In the previous chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the climate in Konoha and in the surroundings reached a critical point. After the attack of God Tree, Araya and Mitsuki were captured, leaving Sarada and Yodo in a desperate situation. Ryu, who acted as an interlocutor of enemies, proposed an exchange: information about Boruto in exchange for hostages. Even pressed, Sarada refused to betray her friend.
It was then that Yodo, moved by loyalty and sense of responsibility, offered himself as a currency of exchange, believing that his sensory powers would be valuable to enemies. However, Araya ignored the offer and attacked her violently, leaving her on the brink of death.
For the next moment, Yodo questions Sarada about a supposed hidden power. At this moment of extreme tension, Sarada finally activates her Mangekyo Sharingan - a milestone since the end of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations .
Chapter 21 preview brings Flashback revealing with Sasuke
The promotional image of chapter 21 shows an emotional flashback between Sasuke and Boruto, with the latter appearing with a curative about the right eye, signaling that it suffered recent injuries. The dialogue between the two occurs after Sarada begs the father to trust Boruto, insisting that he would never be able to kill the seventh Hokage. According to her, everyone is being deceived - and only she realizes that.
Sasuke demonstrates his typical rational coldness, but the emotional weight of the scene is undeniable. He has no evidence, but believes in his daughter because of one reason: his Mangekyo Sharingan. He understands that Sarada has not yet fully understood what happened, but it is certain that when the moment comes, she will know how to act.

Boruto: “…”
Sarada : “Dad, Boruto is not bad !!! It's impossible for him to have killed the seventh !!! Everyone is being deceived !!!!”
Sasuke : "'Everyone is being deceived," yes. This is probably the truth. Mangekyō Sharingan has appeared to me, and there is no more reliable base but himself. "
Boruto : “Master…”
Sasuke : “In this situation, those eyes will be a great strength… Sarada seemed not yet realized the fact that I have activated the mangekyō, but…”
Sasuke : "Surely the moment will come when it will awaken, and then you will understand intuitively."

This exchange of speech rescues not only the spirit of loyalty and faith that has always permeated Konoha's ninjas, but also reposition Sasuke as a fundamental figure in the development of Sarada. The use of Mangekyo Sharingan is not just a technical feat - it is an emotional and psychological rite of passage.
