Current situation as of 2023
Despite being a main character in the original Naruto series, Sakura has been largely absent from the Boruto series. As of this year, there has been no official explanation from the creators of the Boruto manga or anime as to why Sakura has been written out of the series.
There are various speculations and theories among fans, but without official confirmation, we cannot say for certain the exact reason.
Possible Reasons
Some fans have speculated that Sakura’s absence is due to the focus of Boruto being on the younger generation. The series follows the story of Boruto Uzumaki, the son of Naruto Uzumaki, and his classmates at the ninja academy. Since Sakura is not a main character in the younger generation’s story, her role may not be as significant.
Others have suggested that Sakura’s absence is due to the way her character was written in the original Naruto series. Sakura was initially portrayed as weak and solely relying on her teammates, Naruto and Sasuke, for protection. It wasn’t until later in the series that Sakura became a stronger, more independent character. Some fans speculate that because of her early portrayal, the creators may have been hesitant to include her in a bigger role in Boruto.
Another possible reason for Sakura’s reduced role in the Boruto series may be due to the creator’s focus on providing more screen time for other characters. The series has a large cast of characters, and it may be difficult to give each one significant focus and character development. The creators may have chosen to focus on other characters instead of Sakura.
