Here's what we know

Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes It's a big change in tone from the first part and took a darker, darker approach to the story. However, the lack of deaths did not adequately convey this aspect, but this is about to change as the series suggests that it may kill one of the main characters in its last chapters. With the action about to begin, fans shouldn't be surprised if one of the beloved main cast members doesn't live to see another day.

In chapter #17 of Boruto: Two Blue VortexesTeam 7 surprisingly employed an interesting strategy to take down the Ryu and Matsuri God Trees, designed by Shikamaru. As the God Trees are not inherently evil, the Konoha team of Konohamaru, Mitsuki and Sarada, supported by Yodo and Araya of the Sand, must befriend them, pretending that they are also looking for the traitor Boruto, and then eliminate them. once. their guard is down.

Elsewhere, Kashin Koji and Boruto were monitoring what was happening through Eida's power, and Boruto asked Kashin Koji about the failure rate of this strategy. Kashin Koji responds that it's low, and that's when Boruto gets angry and asks him to tell the truth, which means that Kashin Koji may be hiding something about what will happen to Team 7.

This mission could lead to tragedy

Although the nature of the mission depends initially on deception and then on confrontation, it is still a highly dangerous mission that could turn sour at any time. Divine Trees have already proven themselves to be extremely formidable and dangerous. Shikamaru is taking advantage of the fact that they were just born and don't attack unless attacked, and while it's a great plan, there's a good chance it will backfire. The strategy is for Mitsuki, Yodo, Araya and Sarada to defeat Ryu and then meet with Konohamaru to finish off Matsuri.

The biggest problem with this tactic is that there is a huge disparity in strength between Ryu and the people who ambushed him. While Shikamaru's use of deception and surprise attacks makes up for this, there's not much that can be done if Ryu or Matsuri realize what's going on. Additionally, the group's attack power is very limited, and while Mitsuki's Sage Mode is very powerful, it may not be enough, as even Boruto had to use a highly charged Uzuhiko Rasengan, his ultimate ability, to take down Hidari. And even then, he needed Sarada and Kawaki's help.

Although no one knows who might die, the chances of it being Konohamaru are high. Not only is the trope of a dying master, like Jiraiya, Gojo, and others, prevalent in shonen manga, but he is also the most vulnerable. In his strategic meeting with Shikamaru, he was hesitant and unsure about manipulating Matsuri like that, and if that slight hesitation showed up in the actual mission, it could be fatal. Furthermore, he is alone with Matsuri, and if she suspects anything, he will have no one to support him.

Boruto could save the day, but at a huge cost

A small detail may have gone unnoticed by fans and could end up becoming much more important later. Mitsuki managed to find a metallic object that Boruto used to teleport. This could be how Boruto intervenes and supports them if something goes wrong or if he can't just stand there and watch. Although this increases Team 7's survival rate, this also means that Jura will leave as Kashin Koji said, and that would further decrease his chances of coming out alive. This is a lose-lose Boruto situation, and his solution will be interesting.

Kashin Koji is the person who orchestrated the mission to the Land of Wind led by Team 7, using his Shinjutsu ability that allows him to see the future, Prescience. This means that only he knows what will happen, and although he uses this information to train Boruto and help save him, ultimately only he knows what will happen and can reveal as much as he wants. Although Kashin Koji has the world's best interest in mind, he will not hesitate to sacrifice anything and anyone to preserve peace, which includes Boruto's friends.

This new arc Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes delivered a huge twist and this new development could lead to some of the best action in the entire series. Furthermore, the way the main cast deals with this precarious and fragile situation will be interesting, to say the least, and the consequences of this mission could always be another plot to be explored.
