Boruto: Two Blue Vortex It was a shift in tone for the series and took a much darker path than normal, but it could have been a lot worse based on recent revelations. Although the world is in crisis, it pales in comparison to what could have happened in the first part of the series according to a broken new ability. Although Boruto has always had its darker elements, it’s really shocking to see how dark the series could have been.
In Chapter #13, Boruto and Kashin Koji’s first meeting is revealed, and their bond is forged. This is when Jiraiya’s clone reveals that he awakened the Prescience Shinjutsu. This ability allows him to see into the future and multiple timelines right when he is about to die. He reveals that he foresees a future where Ishikki killed Naruto, resurrected in Kawaki’s body and planted the divine tree.. Another future they escaped was Kawaki killing Boruto and Sarada the day Naruto was sealed, leading Kawaki to lose to Kod and a divine tree being planted.
Boruto and the world escaped destruction by a hair’s length
Kashin Koji also says that these scenarios have a very high probability of happening, and that he saw them in multiple timelines. Furthermore, what prevented the futures from happening is still unknown but may be important later. There are a few possibilities that are consequential enough, such as Kawaki tapping into the shinobi life by learning ninjutsu, which was monumental in taking down Ishikki. Sarada stepping into the fight before Kawaki killed Boruto is also a very likely reason why Boruto is still alive, as her Fire Style: Fire Ball stopped Kawaki from delivering a deadly blow.
However, the edge is not clear, because Boruto emphasized at the beginning of the series that a disaster has already happened to the world. This is why he was so desperate to find Code’s hideout, but it was too late as the Shinjus were born and Jura awakened. As devastating as these creatures are, Kashin Koji says there may be more coming soon, and the end of the chapter shows that. Furthermore, Jura is supposed to kill Boruto in many futures, and to prepare him to avoid this, Kashin Koji taught Boruto all the techniques he would learn later, accelerating his growth.

It is important to consider that although Kashin Koji possesses formidable abilities, they are not all-encompassing. There are certainly unpredictable events, such as Kurama reincarnating into Himawari, that even Kashin Koji’s powers cannot predict. Additionally, the limitations of Kashin Koji’s abilities are evident in the fact that he was unable to determine the precise location of Kod’s hideout.
The introduction of this incredible ability paves the way for many developments, such as Amado’s Shroudness, Kawaki’s next powerup and a big build up to the fight between Boruto and Jura. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is consistently dropping bombs, and with the current arc almost over, the future of the series will be interesting to read.
