But really, this synergy is only true for people absorbing more powerful things (Biju, sennin) or absorbing things for their specific power (E.g. Kabuto's synergy hack). If, say, Itachi absorbed some random civilian, he'd be weaker.

Secondly, the times we see people absorb things, it's sealing. We never see organ merging as you mention it (unless you want to imply EMS grans sakon-like KKG). But people transplanting eyes, we do see that. a lot. Like lightbulbs.

So i think there's more evidence that EMS is the result of a simple transplant (doesn't Sasuke call his EMS "Itachi's eyes" at some point?) than that it is some magical merger of eyes.

Even so, returning to the subject of Sarada herself, i still think giving her MS would be a mistake. I think her relying on Sharingan + Other powers would be infinitely more interesting. As long as the Boruto writer isn't a borderline mysogynist (at least, when it comes to stories) and actually applies themes and symbolism regardless of sex and/or gender, she'd be fine.

Sage mode would be brilliant, or some form of Curse Seal (With some of Juugo's flesh, doesn't Sasuke pretty much have the ability to give a proper one to her, one that doesn't turn her homicidal?). Slugs as Sage Animals are also pretty much untapped, like spitting caustic fluids, being able to fission, soft tissue manipulation, etc.

Remember when naruto fused with 2 of his kurama clones to make the ashura avatar.

I also agree that giving her MS would be a mistake. I don't like how they are seeming to gift the new generation with their parents powers, powers that took their parents years and years of hard work to earn. We went through a 15 year journey with naruto to see the characters develop and earn their strength. Then this author comes along and gives the next generation the same or close to the same level of power in the span of a few manga chapters. I seriously hope this isn't the direction they're heading because that would devalue the naruto journey for me. Just my two cents.
