Boruto fans are wrong about Sumire's latest actions, and it's obvious why

As fans may remember, the latest Boruto manga chapter saw Sumire Kakei confront Sarada Uchiha for not considering her feelings. Sumire liked Boruto for a long time, but despite knowing this, Sarada hugged him in front of her.

Additionally, the manga depicted Sarada going against Boruto's wishes. As a Singularity of Fate, the protagonist was restricted from sharing intel. Nevertheless, Sarada asked Eida for the same, hoping to get some answers.

With such developments, several fans believed that Sumire was in the right to go after Sarada for her inconsiderate actions. However, evidence suggests that fans may be mistaken about the latest developments.

Why was Sumire in the wrong to go after Sarada in the latest Boruto chapter?

While one may try to deduce why Kishimoto and Ikemoto had Sumire go after Sarada, all forms of analysis only make it look bad for Sumire. She is depicted as an apathetic and jealous character who seems to exist solely to create a love triangle within the plot.

That said, her outburst did humanize her. As fans may have noticed, no matter how good the Two Blue Vortex manga is, the characters often feel stale. Lacking personal feelings, they appear primarily focused on who they need to take out and how they would do it.

Amidst this, humanizing a character at the cost of their likeness seemed like something that could work well at getting more fans invested in the series. Unfortunately, the cost might have been too much, as Sumire's latest actions in the manga make her too unlikable.

As fans should remember, Sarada has a lot at stake in the fight against the Divine God Trees. She is already risking her chance of ever becoming a Hokage by openly supporting Boruto. Additionally, her father, whom she hadn't met for three years, has been turned into a tree, and the sentient Divine Tree that manifested from it was after her life.

While Sumire questioned Sarada, "Have you considered the possibility that he (Boruto) got hurt because we were there?" it did not make sense, as it was Hidari who went after Sarada, not the other way around. Even the protagonist himself entered the battlefield much later.

Realistically, the reason Sarada is so invested in the protagonist is largely because she has no choice. As far as Sarada knows, Boruto is the only person who can save her father's life. Given her circumstances, she shouldn't even be asking for intel from Eida but demanding it.

While fans can still make an argument that Sarada has been inconsiderate to Sumire and the protagonist on certain stances, she does have very good reasons behind her actions. Meanwhile, as depicted by the manga, the only reason Sumire has gone after Sarada is jealousy. While the manga has already shown Sumire questioning the weight of her actions, the series has yet to show her make amends.
