Sasuke's final words to Boruto remind fans of Itachi's words to Naruto

Although Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5 is still a couple of days away, spoilers for the upcoming chapter have already been released online. It provided readers with flashbacks of Sasuke training the son of the Seventh Hokage, during which he claimed that he had managed to teach him everything he possibly could in one year.

Later in the chapter, Boruto and Sasuke were seen to be in an intense confrontation against Code and his Claw Grimes. Although Sasuke managed to deliver considerable damage to Code, he told his protege to run and survive. Moments before his heroic sacrifice, Sasuke told him, "I leave Sarada to you, Boruto." These words showcased Sasuke's trust and faith in him, as he handed over the responsibility of his daughter to him.

Sasuke's final words resonated with each and every reader, as they reminded them of Itachi Uchiha's memorable words to Naruto Uzumaki in the Naruto: Shippuden series. Although they did not have many interactions, Itachi was fully aware of how much Naruto cared for Sasuke. In fact, Naruto once declared that Sasuke was more of a brother to him than to Itachi.

Due to this, Itachi entrusted Naruto with the responsibility of looking after his brother after he was gone. In one of the most memorable moments of the series, Itachi said to Naruto, "I leave Sasuke to you."

Hearing these words once again, this time from Sasuke to Boruto, reminded fans of the similarity between the two moments. While it served as a reminder to fans of how Sasuke's story has come full circle in the series, it also served as a 'passing the torch' moment to Naruto's son, who has displayed an extraordinary amount of character growth throughout the series.

Both of these moments showcased the immense amount of trust that the members of the Uchiha clan had in Naruto and his son. While it made some fans worried about Sasuke's fate, it served as a reminder of how far the characters have come in the series.
