Himawari may not be as powerful as his older brother, the titular protagonist of Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes manga, but she is not someone to underestimate. Since childhood, she has been hailed as a prodigy, being one of the academy’s best students in years and an expert in hand-to-hand combat. His strength and tenacity are often attributed to his status as the son of the world-famous Naruto and the Hyuga Princess, Hinata.
Still, a small detail found in chapter 9 of the series may suggest that she is much more special than fans believe. Himawari, as Kurama’s new shipmay be fated to become the Child of Prophecy for the next generation, following in her father’s footsteps and rallying the Tailed Beasts once again to deal with Jura, the physical manifestation of the Ten-Tails’ will, and his God Trees. .
Himawari could be the next child of the prophecy
The series made it clear that more than one child can fit the description
In episode #133 of Naruto Shippuuden anime series, Jiraiya’s tragic and iconic final moments were depicted. Before his death, the Sanin remembered the words of Gamamaru, the Great Toad Sage, who prophesied that a blue-eyed child would be born to save the world. This mysterious boy would befriend the Bijuu and use his power to protect the world from Kaguya and the Ten-Tails. Throughout the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto was confirmed as the one the prophecy spoke of, as he managed to not only unite the Tailed Beasts, but also defeat the Otsutsuki.
However, the series made it clear that Naruto was not the only candidate for this role, as it was his actions, not his birth, that helped him save the Shinobi world. Seeing as the Son of Prophecy is a title and not an immutable role, the possibility of a new ninja being born to inherit the role should not be ruled out. THE Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes The manga may have already hinted that Himawari will be the one to take her father’s place as the next savior of the world.
During chapter #9, it was revealed that Naruto’s daughter was selected as Kurama’s new Jinchuriki. Immediately, the two connected on a deeper level, proving to have more synergy than the Seventh Hokage had as a young man with the beast. Himawari’s friendship with Kurama so quickly could be an indication of her role. Furthermore, the Nine-Tails is not the first Bijuu the kunoichi has proven herself worthy of. In episode 126 of the anime, Shukaku was impressed by Himawari’s skill and strength. She is more than capable of befriending and using the Bijuu’s power.
Hagoromo could have predicted Himawari’s fate
The Sage of the Six Paths Had Another Interpretation of the Prophecy
Although originally the only tailed beast in existence was the fearsome Ten-Tails, history’s first Jinchuriki, Hagoromo, used his Creation of All Things to divide its power and give life to nine new beasts. Episode #329 of Naruto Shippuuden the anime revealed this in a flashback to Kurama’s early years. Doing so left the Sage of the Six Paths weakened, with his days numbered after the birth of his children. Before passing, he talked to the Bijuu and said that one day they would reunite and receive their full strength.
When that day came, they would not be their original selves and would need the help of an exceptional human being to achieve this feat. Although this prediction is often attributed to Naruto, there is a possibility that Hagoromo was actually talking about Himawari. The biggest evidence for this theory is that Kurama had to be reborn in a new, smaller form before introducing himself to the Seventh Hokage’s daughter. This is the first time a Bijuu has been reborn into a new form in the series, which may be what Hagoromo was referring to.
If this is indeed the case, Himawari could become the Shinobi World’s new hope, becoming a vital fighter in the coming war against the God Trees. The series has already hinted that it is more important than anyone imagined. In chapter #10 when Kurama wonders why he was reborn as his previous partner’s daughter he comments that fate itself could have played a role. He could be referring to the Child of Destiny’s prophecy, knowing that Himawari was destined to save the Earth like her father before her.
The Shinobi world needs a new source of hope
Himawari can lead the world into a new era of peace
When the original naruto anime has come to an end, one of the protagonist’s most notable feats was his contributions to world peace. Before the Fourth Ninja War, the Shinobi World was in constant tension, as no nation knew who they could trust. It wasn’t until the Seventh Hokage proved to them that cooperation and trust were essential for a better world. Thanks to this incredible lesson, the world of the series enjoyed a long period of peace and prosperity, which ended when the Boruto series began.
Himawari, filling the void left by her father, could become a new symbol for the Shinobi World, leading them to a better future. THE Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes the series suggested that chaos took hold after Naruto was kidnapped by Kawaki. With the Divine Trees wreaking havoc and the continued threat of the Otsutsuki, the son of prophecy is needed now more than ever. Since Boruto was exiled due to Eida’s Omnipotence, the role of Naruto’s successor would naturally fall to his daughter, which may be why the series is focusing so much on her development.
Naruto’s daughter may not be the protagonist of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes manga, but its importance to the plot should not be dismissed. Fate has big plans for her, as proven by Kurama’s rebirth within her. Whether she is destined to become the next Child of the Prophecy or not, Himawari will be vital to the survival of the Shinobi World.
