The relationship between Sakura and Boruto also raises interesting questions about the role of legacy and the weight of expectations in the Naruto universe. As the son of Naruto, Boruto feels the pressure to live up to his father's legendary status, which often leads him to feel uncertain and insecure about his own path. Sakura, having experienced similar pressures as a member of Team 7 and a kunoichi in her own right, is able to offer a nuanced perspective on the importance of forging one's own path and finding one's own identity.
