Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is getting more exciting than ever with its latest developments in the Land of Wind and fans know that things are going to take an even bigger twist as the story moves forward. The plot of Boruto is currently focused on three things. The first is to deal with the Shinju, who pose a big threat to the world, while the second is to reverse the effects of Omnipotence, and the third is to secure the return of Naruto and Sasuke.
'The Strongest Kunoichi In History': Sarada Sets a New Standard For Female Characters in Boruto
Sarada has proven to be one of the strongest characters in the series, and the most powerful kunoichi in Boruto.
All of these goals are slowly going to be met, but it isn't a surprise at all to know that fans want to see the return of Naruto and Sasuke before anything else. While Naruto's return is certainly going to take some time, Sasuke's return isn't actually that far away and Kishimoto has already revealed when he'll come back.
How Sasuke Was Cut Out From The Story In Boruto
- Sasuke Left Konoha To Train Boruto
- Sasuke Was Turned Into A Tree
Fans know that Sasuke was dealt a very harsh fate in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. After having lost his eye in the first part of the story, fans had hoped for Sasuke to train harder and be the protector of the village in Naruto's absence. However, the events of Omnipotence saw to it that this wasn't possible. Sasuke left the village with Boruto Uzumaki and trained him in ninja arts for over a year. Eventually, however, Sasuke came face-to-face with a Code and his Claw Grimes.
I'll get you out of there. I swear, Uncle Sasuke. — Boruto
These Claw Grimes posed all kinds of trouble for Sasuke and even though he managed to overpower Code and even took his eye, the numbers were way too many for Sasuke to win. He sacrificed his life to protect Boruto Uzumaki, and eventually was bitten by the Claw Grimes, being turned into a tree. With Sasuke's chakra, a Shinju was born, with powers similar to his own and the abilities of the Ten Tails. This Shinju is named Hidari and he holds the key to Sasuke's return.
Kishimoto Has Already Set Up Sasuke's Return in Boruto
Hidari Needs To Be Beaten To Free Sasuke
Sasuke's return in Boruto will happen long before Naruto’s and that's a fact. Rescuing Sasuke is far easier than the Seventh Hokage, simply because freeing Naruto means taking down Kawaki, and that won't happen anytime soon in the story. Fans also know that getting Sasuke back is much easier and all that needs to be done is taking down Hidari. Hidari has already been beaten once and can be beaten again.
Once we get their Thorn Soul Bulb, we can save them. — Boruto
Boruto: Kishimoto Has Already Confirmed The Strongest Ninja In The Story
Many of the old generation have been outshined in Boruto. Kishimoto reveals who's the strongest ninjas in the story.
In the recent Boruto arc, two of the Hitoshinju ended up falling. These were Matsuri and Ryu. Now, only three remain and fans know that they're next. Of course, Jura is the strongest, so he won't be dealt with anytime soon, but Hidari will likely be next, along with Mamushi.
Sarada Will Likely Beat Hidari
Fans might be wondering who will defeat Hidari in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. The answer is likely Sarada. Fans know that Boruto Uzumaki is going to fight against Jura, the strongest Shinju. Kawaki, similarly, is likely going to take part in the battle vs Jura, or perhaps he'll fight Mamushi. The one who will go on to beat Hidari is Sarada, given that his target is Sarada Uchiha, to begin with. These two have already met in battle once and with Sarada having awakened immense powers, it is time she defeats him to rescue her father, one of the most beloved characters in Boruto, Sasuke. As soon as Sarada beats Hidari, which should happen in the next arc, Sasuke will be back.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on May 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
