Sumire Kakei

Lore & Background

The source details a critical turning point in the story involving the character Eida and her dojutsu, Senrigan, known as Omnipotence. When activated, this power rewrote everyone's memories, swapping the identities of Kawaki and Boruto in the minds of their allies. Consequently, Kawaki became accepted as Naruto's son while Boruto was branded a murderer who killed his parents. However, the source states that only Sumire Kakei and Sarada Uchiha were unaffected by this memory alteration. This exception allowed them to maintain a clear understanding of events three years prior, serving as the foundation for their continued resistance against Kawaki's narrative.

In Their Own Story

Three years have passed since Eida activated Omnipotence, leaving Naruto and Hinata unconscious in another dimension while Boruto was falsely accused of killing his parents. In this altered reality, Sarada Uchiha attempts to convince the Eighth Hokage, Shikamaru Nara, of Boruto's innocence but fails initially. The source notes that Sumire Kakei shares this burden of memory with Sarada. Unlike the rest of Konoha who believe Kawaki is the son and Boruto is a criminal, Sumire retains the truth. This shared secret becomes vital when Boruto returns to fight monsters summoned by Code. While Shikamaru eventually learns the truth from Boruto, the source confirms that Sumire's unwavering knowledge during those three years was essential in keeping the possibility of exposing Kawaki's crimes alive.

This unique status allows Sumire to recognize Boruto immediately upon his return from exile, even as the village hunts him. She stands with Sarada in trying to clear Boruto's name and supports Shikamaru once he learns the truth about the past three years.
