Sarada Uchiha from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is one of the few characters, having a hard time living up to the expectations of the fandom. After awakening her Mangekyou Sharingan at the end of the prequel series, she didn't utilize such an overpowered ability and showcased a pathetic display before Hidari until the protagonist had to jump in and save her.

The reason for this could be because she could be opting to not use her powers unless her loved ones aren't in trouble. This makes her weakness her power because she awakened her Mangekyou when she saw the protagonist in trouble. Later, in the sequel series, she proved this when Himawari was in trouble and she rushed towards her to help her.

Sarada Uchiha is the deuteragonist of the Boruto series and also the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Being a part of one of the strongest clans of the Hidden Leaf Village, Sarada is one of the strongest characters of the new generation of shinobi, just like Mitsuki and Boruto.

From the start of the series, Sarada is very considerate and loving towards the people she cares for and the citizens of the Hidden Leaf Village. During the first phase of her life, she wasn't even aware of who her father was as Sakura avoided telling her anything about Sasuke, so, she ventured to find him herself. This was the time she awakened her Sharingan.

After becoming a genin, Sarada was a proper shinobi and considered herself a protector of the Hidden Leaf Village due to which she started assisting the residents of the village. Moreover, after Kawaki enters the Hidden Leaf, she gives him a listening ear so he doesn't feel like an outsider.

Not only Kawaki, Sarada was there for anyone from her class, be it Boruto or Chocho or anyone else, she was there for anyone when they faced trouble, which could be considered her weakness. Caring for everyone is commendable but she should also be wary of betrayal, just to be on the safe side.

However, her weakness could also be considered her biggest strength as her caring for her loved ones is what makes her one of the strongest young shinobi of the series. After the protagonist is betrayed by Eida's Omnipotence, Sarada is the only one who is affected by this because she is worried about his close friend.

This awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan and the series entered into the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. After Jura and Hidari infiltrated the village to capture the Nine-Tails, they cornered Himawari. After Sarada heard the news, she rushed towards her, praying for her wellbeing.

This proves how her being worried about her loved ones' well-being is her greatest power, even though it could also be her biggest weakness. Even though she hasn't showcased her Mangekyou Sharingan abilities yet, fans can expect her to show her overpowered abilities when one of her loved ones is in a dire situation.
