For better or worse, Sasuke and Sakura are among Naruto's most important couples, but Boruto proves they're much better apart. Though Sakura and Sasuke might be getting their own Naruto spinoff book, it's evident from the sequel series that their relationship has some serious problems.

Unfortunately, that's not how things turn out by the time of Boruto.
