Why Itachi Uchiha Should Return, Explained

Boruto: two blue vortices takes an exciting direction with the introduction of Shinju, and fans know that, for the first time in a long time, the story is showing potential. At this moment, the ninjas in the Boruto world are in a very precarious situation. This is because Naruto is no longer present, as he has been sealed.

At the same time, Sasuke has become a Shinju, with Hidari sprouting from his body. Right now, Boruto Uzumaki is fighting alone, and even he lacks the experience needed to fight the powerful Shinju. This is precisely why the ninja world needs someone with incredible intellect, and this could come in the form of none other than Itachi Uchiha.

Boruto’s lack of a strong supporting cast is a problem

The Boruto series predominantly focuses on Boruto and Kawaki

While bringing Itachi back may seem like a counterproductive move to many fans, there is more than one reason why he would be a great fit for the series. One of the main reasons why Boruto is not as popular as its predecessor, or any other series in general, is the lack of a solid supporting cast. The entire story of Boruto revolves around characters like Boruto Uzumaki and, at some points, Kawaki. These two characters are the focus for the vast majority of the series, and there are essentially no exciting side characters. Now, that doesn’t mean that the supporting cast in naruto It was great. Fans know that she had her own problems and that the series suffered greatly from a lack of interesting supporting characters.

However, Naruto did a much better job with experienced ninjas who were always there to guide people like the younger generation. For example, Kakashi was always there to help Naruto and did an excellent job in many exciting battles. Likewise, other powerful Jonin, like Guy, or Kage, like Tsunade, Hiruzen, and even the reanimated ones, among others, we are always excellent too.

Likewise, people like Itachi Uchiha and many other powerful ninjas from other villages were there to take center stage on several occasions in Naruto, and that’s something Boruto lacks. This is one of the reasons why fans often get bored of the Boruto series and why its popularity is gradually plummeting. If Boruto introduced some interesting side characters, fans would love this change. Now, it would be better if Boruto introduced its own cast of exciting supporting characters and, to be fair, it has, with Kashin Koni. However, apart from him, there is no other major supporting character who is there to guide Boruto Uzumaki or other young generation ninjas, and at the same time be exciting.

Clearly, at this point, it would be best for a character that fans are very familiar with to appear, preferably one that fans already adore. In the absence of Naruto and Sasuke, someone else needs to carry the torch, and that is why Itachi Uchiha would be the perfect character for this role.

How Itachi’s genius and untapped potential could become a brilliant story

• Itachi was a Sharingan genius.

• Itachi saved the ninja world twice

Fans know that Itachi is a brilliant character. He is known to be a genius of the Uchiha Clan, the likes of which he has never seen before. Even at a very young age, he was already stronger than the vast majority of the Uchiha around him. Itachi was a monster at a very young age, and one to which even the legendary Sannin openly admitted his inferiority. Unfortunately, Itachi’s history was filled with tragedy. He was forced to slaughter his own clan and eventually become a spy in Akatsuki. Itachi lived his life in disgrace, despite saving the world. Similarly, in the Fourth Great Ninja War, Itachi returned using Edo Tensei, and this time too, Itachi saved the world without anyone knowing that he was primarily responsible for it.

Clearly, there had to be a story about Itachi Uchiha that focused more on him, and if that didn’t happen in Naruto, perhaps, it could happen in the future. Boruto series. Itachi would have more than one reason to be present in Boruto. First of all, he will return using Edo Tensei, which, at this point, is a given. His return would solve more problems than just one. He would give more characterization to the Uchiha Clan and the famous Sharingan. At this point, this entire lineage has been left out of the series and is of little importance. Itachi’s return to the series would highlight how important this lineage is and why the Uchiha are as special as they are.

Secondly, Sasuke becoming Shinju would give Itachi an exciting reason to return. He would give her a chance to look at his younger brother and see what kind of man he has become, but only after returning to save him. He could help Boruto Uzumaki save his sensei, Sarada Uchiha save his father, and he could do all this brilliantly, using his panache and his smoothness, like he always does.

More importantly, fans were able to see his strength on full display once again and along with it, his sharp intellect as well. Itachi Uchiha is a genius as a ninja and fans would love more opportunities to show what he was truly capable of. Similarly, fans would also love for Itachi to be given another chance to delve into his past and how he aspires the world to be. When he returned to the Ninja War, he had unlimited time because his job was to take down Kabuto. As soon as he knocked it down, Edo Tensei fell apart. Now, however, Itachi would have the perfect time to play a larger role in the series, and would also no doubt help Boruto skyrocket following his decline in popularity.

Should Itachi Uchiha return?

Itachi’s return could be a double-edged sword

The question of whether Itachi Uchiha should return or not is very intriguing. On the one hand, Itachi’s return would help Boruto’s popularity and at the same time, it would also give the story an interesting twist, where characters other than Boruto and Kawaki would receive attention. It could shed more light on the Uchiha Clan and, most likely, also help progress Itachi’s character arc. This would be a brilliant move for the ages. It would also give him the opportunity to save Sasuke and, above all, bond with her niece and train her in the ways of the Uchiha.

On the other hand, it could prove to be a double-edged sword, and this is simply because in the Boruto series, the writers often mistreat the characters of the previous generation. People like Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and almost every other supporting character from the previous generation have been mistreated. If Itachi returns, he may be similarly mistreated, and fans would hate that. Itachi’s role in Boruto would be limited, but it would be exciting. And it’s safe to say that he certainly should return, but only if the writers continue to nail the ending on his character and don’t disgrace him like they have done with many others in the past.

Boruto is available to read through Viz Media. Fans can read the series officially and for free on Shonen Jump and on plus sleeve application. The release date of the next Boruto chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 14, will be September 20, 2024.
