Boruto joins the league of legendary Uzumakis with an iconic move in Two Blue Vortex chapter 12

Recently, chapter 12 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex was released and it depicted the blonde protagonist entering to save his sister, Himawari, and Sarada Uchiha. The Leaf Shinobi seemed to be in a tough spot with the arrival of Jura and Hidari, but Himawari’s sudden awakening and Boruto’s appearance may have given them the much-needed support.

As the battle raged on between Sarada, the blonde shinobi, and Hidari with his God Tree creatures, a move was unleashed that felt eerily familiar. This move placed him in the same league as those who had come before him and used it. Let’s take a closer look at this moment filled with nostalgia.

Boruto’s Emulation of Iconic Moves in Latest Chapter

In chapter 12 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto came to the rescue by joining forces with Sarada, Konohamaru Sarutobi, and Sumire Kakei. The Leaf Shinobis were fighting to keep Hidari at bay, but they were facing difficulties against the overwhelming power of the self-conscious God Tree.

The use of the Flying Thunder God Technique by the protagonist was a nostalgic moment, but his actions afterwards truly showcased his unwavering Uzumaki spirit. Fans will remember the battles against Obito Uchiha, in which both Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki were involved.

It was observed that both the father and son employed Rasengan on Obito in a comparable fashion, by appearing behind or above him and forcefully slamming the spinning sphere into his back, causing him to fall to the ground. This is precisely how Boruto countered Hidari’s attempt to absorb Sarada.

This event caused a lot of excitement in the manga community, with fans humorously noting that it was a common occurrence for Uzumakis to use Rasengan against Uchihas from behind. In case anyone was curious, Hidari is modeled after Sasuke Uchiha, which also clarifies his fixation on Sarada.

The blonde shinobi’s action successfully forced Hidari to retreat and seek healing underground. Later in the chapter, the shinobi also demonstrated his mastery of the Rasengan technique, a famous move created by Minato and perfected by Naruto.

According to the most recent information, Rasengan: Uzuhiko is possibly the most lethal variation of the technique, with the Uzuhiko’s power having “unlimited potential”. Despite successfully using the Uzuhiko on Hidari, the Leaf Shinobi were unable to obtain the Thorn Soul Bulb, as Jura remained suspended in the air, biding their time to attack.

Concluding Remarks

Despite defeating Hidari, the Leaf Shinobi’s problems were far from solved as the latest chapter of Masashi Kishimoto’s series concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger. Jura, who had been hovering above and watching the fight, decisively intervened by taking down Boruto and Sarada, leaving the Leaf with no means of defense.

Additionally, he subsequently comes to the decision that the blonde poses a threat due to her knowledge and must therefore be eliminated. As a result, Jura may initiate a full-scale assault to bring down his rival, causing him to tap into his increased power.

To make matters worse, there is hardly anyone to challenge him, as Himawari is weakened and Kawaki, Sarada, and Konohamaru are all incapacitated.
