What Happened In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #16?

A Spicy Drama Ensues And A Mission Begins

The chapter begins with a flashback of Boruto and Kashin Koji talking. Kashin was explaining to Boruto about space-time ninjutsu and how, in 6 years, Boruto would have madehis own variation of Minato’s Flying Raijin. He also explains how Boruto managed to avoid a drawback of his new technique and found a solution to increase its effectiveness and range. After Boruto continues to train with the knowledge imparted to him, the scene shifts to Kashin Koji and Boruto in a cave. Kashin Koji explains how the more people know about the future, the less his new ability, Prescience, is effective. Thus, he proclaims that he, Boruto, and Eida will bethe Singularities of Fate, the ones who will guide the world to a better future and the only ones who know what will happen.

Back to the present, Sarada, Eida, and Sumire are in a room and talking. Sarada asks Eida where Boruto is so she can help him. Sumire interrupts and tells her to consider the possibility that Boruto doesn’t want them involved and that she should consider his feelings. She also tells her to consider her feelings and admits that she also liked Boruto romantically and seeing Sarada hug him made her sad. She runs out of the room after getting flustered. Meanwhile, Eida is enjoying the drama unfolding in front of her but is interrupted by a summons from Shikamaru.

Without giving too much detail, Kashin Koji instructs Shikamaru to send Konohamaru, Mitsuki and Sarada to the Land of Wind and take down Matsuri or Ryu or both. He also instructs him to keep Himawari within Konoha to keep her safe and accommodate Jura if he ever visits a bookshop. The toad then leaves, and thanks Shikamaru for having faith. The scene switches to the Land of Wind where the trio meets up with two Sand Shinobi, and after they head out, they find the two God Trees.

The Next Chapter of Boruto Could Be Huge

An Exciting Confrontation And An Interesting Development In Konoha

There are a few things in play that set up this chapter to be one of the best so far. Firstly, it has been confirmed that Jura will appear in a library and browse for books, much to the shock of the owner. This could set up nice interactions between Jura and Konoha characters, so that is something to be excited about. Another thing that could happen is Team 7 and the Sand Shinobi pursuing Matsuri and Ryu and staking them out, which might even lead to an exciting battle.Boruto: Two Blue Vortexpromises an incredible chapter soon, and it shouldn’t come as a shock if it ends up being viral.
