As Naruto fans know, Mangekyou Sharingan is the evolved form of the Sharingan, special to the Uchiha clan. We have seen many highly proficient Mangekyou Sharingan users earlier, including Itachi, Sasuke, and Madara, among others. However, the one character that the fans have always wanted to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan is Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. Well, we do not have to wait any longer, as the prophecy has been fulfilled in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga. For those curious, learn about how and when Sarada awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan, along with its abilities, in this guide.
Last updated on October 9, 2025, to include the latest details about Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan: Ohirume based on the newly released database.
Spoilers Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga. So, read the manga (up to chapter 20) to avoid ruining the intended experience.
How and When Did Sarada Get Mangekyou Sharingan?
If you think Sarada awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan in her battle against Ryu, then I’m afraid you are wrong. Uchiha clan members can only awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan in a traumatic event. That is why only a limited number of the strongest Uchiha clan members have unlocked the evolved Sharingan eyes in the story.
Coming back to Sarada, when she hears the news of Naruto, the Seventh Hokage’s death, and her best friend Boruto framed for the murder of Nanadaime, she undergoes a traumatic event in her life. When Sarada asks her dad to help Boruto, she awakens her Mangekyou Sharingan for the first time in Boruto chapter 80. Even Sasuke confirms that it is the Mangekyou Sharingan in her teary eyes.
Sarada Reawakens Her Mangekyou Sharingan: Ohirume in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
Since then, the fandom has been waiting with bated breath to see Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan abilities in action. The long wait has now come to an end since Sarada once again activates her sun-patterned Mangekyou Sharingan in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga series. Team Konoha has teamed up with Sunagakure’s ninjas to take down Ryu and Matsuri. In the thrilling battle against Ryu, the evil version of Shinki speared Yodo with his Iron Sand.
Even Yodo wonders why Sarada is holding back the true powers of the Uchiha clan. Upon hearing Yodo’s words and being on the verge of death, Sarada reawakens her Mangekyou Sharingan and unleashes its abilities for the first time in chapter 20 of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.
Sarada’s Mangekyo Sharinga is given the name ‘Ohirume.’ This title must have been named after Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess, who is also known as “Ōhirume no Muchi no Kami.” Just as her father Sasuke and uncle Itachi’s sharingan dojutsu were called Amaterasu, now Sarada continues the tradition.
Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan Abilities
Every main character, including the likes of Boruto, Himawari, and others, has been getting major power-ups in the sequel Boruto manga. Now, Sarada has also received a much-needed power spike by re-awakening her Mangekyou Sharingan.
After activating it in front of her father, Sasuke, for the first time, this is the second time we see her using it to attack. We have learned about Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan abilities after her battle with a Human God Tree named Ryu earlier, and now the creators have shared an official database of Ohirume’s abilities. Let’s take a look at them below:
Sarada: Mangekyou Sharingan Ohirume’s Gravity Ability
In the ongoing battle, both the teams of Konoha and Sunagakure were easily overwhelmed by Ryu’s Iron Sand powers. Araya was doing well against Ryu’s sandy powers, thanks to his sword, but it was later seized by Ryu.
When this situation evolved into a life-or-death moment, Sarada activated her Mangekyou Sharingan to produce black spheres that sucks all the iron sand into a void. Now it is confirmed that she can generate up to 4 black spheres in total. The size of these spheres can go from 5 cm to up to 250 cms as Sarada desires.
Sarada is also confirmed to generate gravity using her black spheres. Despite their small sizes, these spheres are capable of unleashing strong gravitational forces. Thus, Sarada has the power to control gravity with her eyes in the story now.
She can use it to make selected targets float and catch them off guard, but the targeted enemy should be within her field of vision. That is how she makes Ryu levitate and then shreds him into pieces by using her black spheres in chapter 21. Sarada is no exception from her gravitational forces when she uses them to affect someone.
However, she can precisely control her spheres to counterbalance the pull that makes her levitate in the air. The latest database also reveals that Sarada has gained the power to move and fly at an unreal speed similar to Otsutsukis, if she can control and move in sync with her spheres.
So, one of Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan abilities is related to “Space-Time Ninjutsu” as she can perform a feat similar to Obito’s renowned Kamui move.
Sarada Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan Ohirume’s Second Ability
Moreover, every Mangekyou Sharingan user has a unique ability in both eyes. Only one of her powers is shown in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga at the time of writing. As a result, Sarada is predicted to possess the infamous Amaterasu ability, similar to her father Sasuke and late uncle Itachi.
Since her Mangekyou Sharingan derives its name from Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun Goddess, she might also inherit her family’s Amaterasu ability in the future. As Amaterasu is unique to her father and uncle, it will be perfect for Sarada to inherit the power of the black flames.
Weaknesses of Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan: Ohirume
As seen with all the other Mangekyo sharingan users, all the abilities of Ohirume rapidly drain Sarada’s chakra and cost an immense amount. In addition to leaving users vulnerable after chakra depletion, Ohirume also has the classic mangekyou sharingan weakness, where Sarada can become blind if she continues to use her eyes frequently.
Now, we have to wait for some time to find out more about Sarada’s Mangekyou Sharingan powers. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about her new abilities in the comments below.
