Boruto’s Brutal Takedown: Key Villain Slain, But at What Devastating Cost?

One captivating aspect of the “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” manga lies in how Naruto’s son, Boruto, has enhanced his skills. Despite losing Sasuke to the God Trees, he encountered Jiraiya’s clone, Kashin Koji. The tutelage of Koji transformed Boruto Uzumaki into a more serious character, one who even adapted a revised version of his grandfather’s Flying Raijin teleportation technique.

In this latest installment of Boruto, fans are finally getting the character development they’ve been eagerly anticipating for some time. While Boruto’s comical antics as a trickster were entertaining, they seemed to echo Naruto’s storyline. But now, those who yearned to witness Boruto mature into a sharp-witted warrior in the battle against Jura and the God Trees will be intrigued. This chapter showcases Boruto taking down a significant adversary in a gruesome fashion. However, the aftermath promises consequences that could shake things up.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 21 Brings in Boruto to Kill Off Matsuri

Boruto Teleports In To Defeat Her and Save Konohamaru

In this instance, spectators saw Matsuri display an alarming loss of control. It became clear to her that Konohamaru was exploiting her emotions, not reciprocating love, and desired her demise in order to free his long-time friend Moegi from Konoha using her essence. In a chilling foreshadowing, she hints that the next chapter will conclude with a sad turn of events as she starts consuming Konohamaru.

Wow, just when I thought things were heating up, Boruto astonishes me by employing moves reminiscent of his grandpa, Namikaze Minato – the Fourth Hokage! In a flash, he intercepts Matsuri’s attack aimed at Konohamaru, slices her into pieces with remarkable swiftness. It’s quite fitting given Sasuke’s current state at the hands of these foes, and it certainly ranks among Boruto’s most significant moments in the manga thus far. He moves with lightning speed, is ruthlessly efficient, and much like his teacher, he doesn’t waste a moment on forgiveness.

Boruto doesn’t rely on the well-known “Talk No Jutsu” like his father; he’s grown past being naive or innocent. The enemies he encounters are swift, ruthless, and deadly, capable of causing harm in an instant. Unlike the idea of forgiveness that Boruto once held, he recognizes now that redemption may not be possible for these God Trees. This adds depth to his character while also recalling Naruto and the Pain clones. Unlike his father, who spared humans and sentient beings, Boruto is willing to use lethal force against them.

His father mysteriously appeared, destroyed one and communicated with Nagato. He aimed to eliminate heartless machines to protect his village, the Hidden Leaf, also seeking revenge for fallen comrades in battle. These ideas resonate deeply with Boruto, stemming from Ryu’s killing of Yodo. Boruto feels a strong urge for vengeance as he witnesses strife in Sunagakure. Sadly, he might have walked into an ambush. The cunning strategist in Jura has been biding his time, hoping Boruto would emerge.

Boruto’s Reappearance Has Exposed Him to Jura

A Heroic Deed Creates the Right Opportunity for Jura

For quite some time now, the leader of the God Tree faction, Jura, has been on a pursuit to locate Boruto. His intention is to consume Naruto, but Kawaki is concealing the Hokage along with his spouse, Hinata, in a clandestine dimension. In place of Boruto, Jura attempted to target Himawari (Boruto’s sister), but that attempt too was unsuccessful, leaving him no choice but to bide his time. He is constantly contemplating his next meal, as whoever he consumes will reveal his true identity and destiny. To Jura, Boruto presents himself as an ideal target: one who can be devoured and removed from the equation.

They’ve made it challenging to locate Naruto by keeping a low profile in their hideout, a skill that comes from being referred to as a “Singularity of Fate.” Koji possesses foresight, which he uses to guide decisions in the current timeline, while Boruto serves as his executioner. By staying hidden, they managed to avoid detection. However, this advantage has now vanished.

In “Two Blue Vortex” Chapter 21, Jura has taken notice of Boruto following his attack on Matsuri, hinting at a potential confrontation between the two. The chapter concludes with Jura anticipating their impending encounter, drooling over the prospect of the hunt. Given their previous clash, they have some insights into each other’s combat styles. Both have exhibited power, strength, and an inclination towards self-indulgence in the past, suggesting a competitive dynamic. Although neither is likely to underestimate the other, the upcoming encounter promises to be intriguing as they measure up against each other.

After their previous meeting, Jura has been delving into studies, devising a fresh military strategy, and anticipating potential countermeasures and tactics that Boruto Uzumaki could employ. Now that Boruto is finally here, with Jura observing things from the perspective of all those under his command, it’s time for the game to begin.

A Feud With Kashin Koji Could Loom on the Horizon

Koji Won’t Like Boruto Hampering the Timeline

In Chapter 21 of Two Blue Vortex, Boruto Uzumaki’s actions are deeply rooted in a complex situation. The covert alliance between Kashin Koji and Eida is the central issue that has been simmering, as Boruto’s choice to leave their group has escalated the tension. Eida and Koji have personal disagreements due to Eida’s remorse over altering reality for his plan, and her conflicting loyalties towards Kawaki complicate their relationship further. When Koji acknowledges Yodo’s death as an unfortunate necessity, it becomes challenging for Eda and Boruto to persuade Sarada Uchiha to activate the Mangekyo Sharingan.

1. Sarada activating her Mangekyo Sharingan results in Ryu’s demise. While Koji and Eida might see this as a significant defeat of one of their adversaries, Boruto strongly opposes Yodo’s mistreatment due to their friendship. When Boruto inquires whether Koji concealed Ryu’s death from him intentionally, he is scolded for the need to carefully edit past occurrences and, above all, for not challenging his superior’s decisions.

2. Sarada triggering her Mangekyo Sharingan ends up causing Ryu’s downfall. Although Koji and Eida might consider this as a triumph over one of their foes, Boruto vehemently disagrees with how Yodo is being treated because she’s his friend. When Boruto wonders if Koji kept the fact that Ryu died from him secretively, he is reprimanded for the necessity to manage past occurrences tactfully and, most importantly, for not questioning his authority.

3. Sarada unleashing her Mangekyo Sharingan results in Ryu’s passing. While Koji and Eida may view this as a step towards defeating one of their adversaries, Boruto strongly disapproves of how Yodo is being treated due to their bond. When Boruto questions whether Koji intentionally withheld knowledge about Ryu’s death from him, he receives a stern warning for the importance of handling past events delicately and, most importantly, without challenging his authority.

4. Sarada awakening her Mangekyo Sharingan eventually leads to Ryu’s destruction. Although Koji and Eida might interpret this as a win against one of their adversaries, Boruto firmly objects to how Yodo is being treated because she’s his friend. When Boruto queries whether Koji had been concealing Ryu’s death from him, he is reproached for the importance of managing past events tactfully and, more crucially, for not defying his authority.

5. Sarada activating her Mangekyo Sharingan eventually results in Ryu’s demise. While Koji and Eida might take this as a stride towards defeating one of their enemies, Boruto strongly disagrees with the way Yodo is being treated due to their friendship. When Boruto asks if Koji had intentionally kept the fact that Ryu died from him hidden, he receives a stern reprimand for the importance of handling past events delicately and, most importantly, without challenging his authority.

In my observation, neither Koji nor Boruto hold the power to completely alter destiny; they can only subtly adjust it, much like Doctor Strange in the Marvel Universe. Interestingly, Koji has concealed facts, admitting that if he had disclosed Yodo’s impending demise to Boruto, the boy might not have entered a confrontation with Ryu. Consequently, Yodo would still be alive, sparing Ryu from death. This would have prevented Sarada’s transformation, leaving Boruto preoccupied and potentially vulnerable in the field, burdened by the thought of safeguarding his perceived weaker allies.

If Jura had been engaged, it would have resulted in his death. Koji asserts that he’s observed numerous scenarios, and Boruto isn’t prepared to confront Jura yet. Therefore, he must remain on the sidelines. Disappointed, he labels Boruto as reckless for disobeying this rule. The entire strategy has been derailed. Despite being harsh, Koji is a pragmatist, meticulously arranging a future that ensures their survival. However, he expects Boruto to heed his advice and conform.

Boruto’s Actions Are a Sign That Not All Hope Is Lost for the Hidden Leaf VIllage

Konohamaru Could Turn and Get Konoha Behind Naruto’s Son

Although it might feel disappointing, Boruto’s move against Matsuri shows he shares his father’s character traits. Some people thought he would follow Koji’s dark path and view others as mere sacrifices, but this isn’t true. Instead, Boruto maintains a strong respect for life, just like Naruto did. Despite not being skilled in Talk No Jutsu, Boruto makes sure to prevent large-scale harm and damage to innocent bystanders.

In the end, Boruto’s actions might influence Konohamaru’s decision. He’s observing more of Boruto’s unselfish nature. This could lead to a significant encounter that might persuade Konohamaru to advocate for others to join Boruto on his journey home. However, it won’t be an easy ride. Koji might not view them as the right companions they require. They might lack the necessary strength.

From my perspective, I can’t help but admire the distinct viewpoints that Koji and I hold towards our world. While I strive to remain humble and empathetic, like Naruto and Jiraiya once did, Koji seems to carry a sense of self-elevation and an almost divine belief in himself – something Boruto doesn’t possess.

In the bond between Naruto and Jiraiya, they were united in their quest to protect everyone around them, always keeping their humility intact. On the other hand, Koji appears ruthless, which sets him apart from this duo.

Should Koji manage to survive this current predicament, there may arise a tension between us, as he might feel compelled to save Boruto, his friend. This turn of events could potentially strain our relationship, given the stark differences in our philosophies and actions.

Koji can’t squander time, and he can’t risk losing his valuable weapon. He requires strong warriors. If it comes at the cost of innocents, he considers it acceptable. As events unfold, we’ll see how Boruto and Koji reconcile this situation. Shikamaru’s viewpoint will be intriguing. While he often takes this stance, he won’t approve of children being involved in such a conflict. It’s possible that his son, Shikadai, could find himself in harm’s way one day, as mere cannon fodder.

Essentially, the storyline of “Two Blue Vortex” comic series is creating dissension and foreshadowing a potential civil conflict. Given the circumstances, this isn’t ideal as the heroes require unity. As the creator of Naruto and Boruto, Masashi Kishimoto, advances the plot, a collision of ideologies regarding faith, hope, and optimism is beginning to take shape. If left unchecked, this could lead to dire consequences for Boruto and his comrades as they strive to unite and thwart Jura, the God Trees, Kawaki, and Code in due course.
