Board Thread:Theories and Speculation/@comment-33068326-20170910000953

In the Mitsuki Oneshot, Mitsuki's older brother Log says a statement that I thought would be important to the Boruto series and more importantly would signify more about about the three characters under Team Konohamaru.

His statement goes like: "Mitsuki is a Synthetic Human who has forged his own path... that child will surely become someone who can become the Light in the Darkness... though I doubt he'll be able to do it on his own... but if he can find a 'Sun' who will always be by his side and illuminate his path, then just maybe... with the Sun by his side, this child will become the Moon and surely illuminate the darkness..."

My curiosity grew further after looking at the Colored Illustration by Kishimoto in the Boruto Manga Vol. 1. Boruto appears to have a Kurama Chakra Cloak that is Yellow like the Sun and Byakugan eyes. Mitsuki is shown with Sage Mode just like in the One-shot, and is rendered blue like the Moon. Sarada, is shown with eyes not resembling the usual Standard Sharingan, and surrounding her is infinite black.

Here is the Colored Illustration for Reference: []

And here is my theory: Mitsuki is the moon, obviously. Even his name says so. 'Tsuki' is a reading of the kanji Moon. His Sage Mode renders him with the color blue, which can signify to the moon.

Boruto Uzumaki is Mitsuki's sun. He will be the one by Mitsuki's side, illuminating his path. From the Mitsuki oneshot, Boruto's face is shown as a picture when Orochimaru got the embryo that created both Mitsuki and Log. Why was that face there? There had to be a reason. When asked what he put in the scroll, Orochimaru answered with,

'''"A photo of the Sun. Let's leave it at that." ''' I think Mitsuki was actually created with some of Boruto's DNA. Without it, Mitsuki wouldn't even have existed and found his own path. From Log's statement, I interpreted the quote "I doubt he will become the light all on his own" and "Sun illuminating his path" to fit with my theory. He didn't exist all on his own, he's a synthetic human. So Boruto illuminating his path represents Boruto giving some of his light to him (DNA) so he could exist/become the moon to illuminate the dark.

Mitsuki and Boruto obviously are going to have an important and contrasting relationship that will be explored deeper within the story, and I think there will be more contrasts between them than just DNA fitting with Log's statement to prove they are the Sun and Moon. I'm excited, and thinking about the future, I feel like Boruto's generation will become very interesting themselves. I feel they have way more potential to surpass the original Naruto characters to become the best shinobi they can be. The whole theme about Boruto is SHINOBI and the fight against their eradication from the world, I think, as in the teaser for Boruto vs Kawaki, Boruto points out that he (and the rest of the ninjas) are still SHINOBI, though the era of Shinobi may be coming to an end.

Anyway, you'll be wondering what role Sarada is going to have in the Boruto series. I think she is going to be... THE DARKNESS. In Log's Statment, he says that "with the Sun by his side and helping him, he (moon) will be one day able to illuminate the darkness..." So pretty much that means that to illuminate the darkness, Boruto and Mitsuki will have to work together.

Sarada Uchiha's dream is to one day become the Hokage. Kage is a reading of Shadow. Boruto has said in the main Boruto manga and movie that he wants to help and protect her when she becomes the Hokage, as her right-hand, by becoming like Sasuke, who protects the Hidden Leaf and the Hokage (Naruto) from the outside. A Distant help, but surely help from Boruto. I think Boruto and Mitsuki's role later in life will be to protect Sarada as Sun and Moon, illuminating her path as the Hokage. In the Colored Illustration, I feel the darkness around Sarada is actually her future Susanoo, which will be black. As I'm assuming her new dojutsu is the Mangekyo (I'd also find it cool if it were her own dojutsu), I thought it weird they did not draw her Susanoo along with it. I'd also be glad if, as many are speculating, her Susanoo will be pink. But I think Black would be great too and would bring a darker tone to her character like shown with her darkened expression in this Illustration. Also in the illustration, you can see Boruto and Mitsuki's contrasting colors, blueish and yellowish. They are surrounding Sarada, while all around her is the color black/signifies darkness.

And this is just one thing that Sun, Moon and Darkness can mean. I expect they'll have several ways to symbolize it. Tell me what you think! Adding to my theory about Boruto giving some of his DNA to Mitsuki, when did that happen and why? I'm very excited about this. I'm wondering how Orochimaru is connected to it, how he knows Boruto, who Kawaki is, and what is the group Kara supposed to mean.

My theory is... Kara is an organization of Synthetic humans created with DNA from powerful ninjas. As evolution is happening, Synthetic humans are proving to become more powerful than average ninjas, and with the rule of Survival of the Fittest, they have formed an organization, straying rogue from Orochimaru perhaps long ago, and are unknowingly rising to become a dangerous threat seeking to eradicate ninjas. "The Shinobi Era is over", says Kawaki in the Boruto vs Kawaki teaser.

Said by many in a theory they have come up with, I'm actually thinking Kawaki is a Synthetic human made with Naruto and Sasuke's DNA, and is a part of Kara, no doubt a leader, or someone with high ranking, as Naruto and Sasuke are known as the most powerful Ninjas in the world. Combine the both of them together, and you get someone who has the potential to destroy both of them. How else can it be?

Think about it: the meaning of the organization Kara, is Shell/Husk. Mitsuki is a Synthetic Human made by Orochimaru, and his name originally meant a Vessel... containing Boruto's DNA. The members of Kara have to be Shells of their actual humans, acting as their foils. Mitsuki's kanji in his name changed from a Vessel to the Moon when he found his own path. It was of his own doing. Thus, when his name changed, his foil, Boruto, was instantly named as a foil to Mitsuki's name. I think the whole Moon and Sun just happened unintentionally when Mitsuki changed his name, but will suit them in the future events that happen in the story. I also think that while Mitsuki is a Synthetic human, by choosing his own path by looking for his Sun, he will be a good guy and not be like Kara, who are probably looking to exterminate their foils. Thus, he will be the light in the darkness of Kara, giving a light to SHINOBI’s survival, which will ultimately allow for Sarada to continue the Uchiha, and SHINOBI line by becoming Hokage. (The darkness could also be representing the threat of Kara, and it surrounding Sarada while her expression is strained and wary might mean that it is a threat to SHINOBI, thus the strongest SHINOBI and leader of SHINOBI, the Hokage. Both ways I suggested could work.) And this couldn’t have happened if Boruto hadn’t given his DNA to Mitsuki in the first place. Thus, by being the Sun distantly protecting the Hokage by helping the Moon, Boruto will become a Shinobi like Sasuke, who protected the Hidden Leaf from the outside. I think that may just be the dynamic Team Konohamaru may have with each other, and to be honest, I feel as if that’s more teamwork than Team 7 has ever done together! Not to say they didn’t have any, I just think the new generation may surpass the old one.

So yeah, everything that's happened is probably Orochimaru's fault. But it was like that in the first series, doesn't it make sense? He's always causing trouble wherever he is, it's like a routine. And I guess he will never die. I am wondering when and how Orochimaru managed to get a hold of Boruto's DNA. I think Boruto has huge connections to Kara somehow, and at some point, he will leave the Hidden Leaf because of the curse mark on his hand or his dojutsu becoming dangerous, forcing him to be exiled. He'll want to know about himself and Kara more, and will become friends with Kawaki perhaps. But as a rogue ninja, when he sees what Kara's plans are for Ninjas, he will become conflicted and will in the end go against their regime.

This theory is incomplete, as I haven't added much of Otsutsuki Clan or Kaguya's descendants yet (and I'm excited about that too!), but still, I feel as if I may have solved one piece of the puzzle! I'm wondering which characters have their synthetic foils, and how everything will tie together. I also wonder if all these Kara members may just be vessels for the future Otsutsuki ClanI may be wrong in some places, but I'm sure some things in my theory will also be right! Tell me what you think about it!

(Or perhaps Kara is actually made up of human beings but they are seeking to create Synthetic Humans. Based on Boruto Chapter 16, the vessel they are talking about could be Kawaki. A Synthetic Human with some of Naruto and Sasuke's DNA.)
