Boruto’s Latest Reincarnation Theory: The Role of Himawari and the Absence of Otsutsuki

The Naruto and Boruto universe has always been full of captivating surprises and revelations. The current manga has generated a surge of anticipation as the focus shifts from the Otsutsuki clan to the Uzumaki siblings. A popular theory has emerged, speculating on the possible connections between the siblings and their famous grandparent, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and their mother, Uzumaki Kushina.

Boruto’s impressive skill in utilizing the Flying Raijin technique, which was originally Minato’s trademark jutsu, along with Himawari’s unexpected link to the Nine-Tailed Beast, Kurama, has sparked an intriguing theory. This theory suggests that the Uzumaki siblings could potentially be the reincarnations of Naruto’s parents, Minato and Kushina.

There is an undeniable similarity between the abilities and connections of the Uzumaki siblings and their grandparents. This has sparked an intriguing theory suggesting that the siblings may be the reincarnations of Minato and Kushina, respectively.

Boruto’s proficiency in the Flying Raijin technique, a skill that not even his father Naruto could replicate, is a clear indication of his link to Minato.

The Karma wielder’s superior performance in this aspect only strengthens the belief that they are the true recipient of the Fourth Hokage’s legacy, surpassing even Minato’s abilities.

Furthermore, Himawari’s unexpected link to Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Beast, reflects Kushina’s role as the previous Jinchuriki. The fact that a smaller-than-expected Kurama resides within Himawari signifies that she too has formed a deep connection with the tailed beast, similar to her grandmother Kushina.

Boruto’s journey as a shinobi in the Two Blue Vortex manga has displayed his significant development. His mastery of the Flying Raijin technique, a space-time ninjutsu that was a specialty of his grandfather, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, is one of his greatest assets.

In the fourth chapter of the most recent manga series, The Karma wielder showcases his mastery of the Flying Raijin. He employs it to instantly transport himself over great distances, including to an alternate dimension where the hideout of the Kara organization is located.

Minato’s son has achieved an incredible accomplishment that goes beyond the skills of his father, Naruto, who never attempted to learn the technique. It also exceeds the level of proficiency demonstrated by Minato himself.

Minato, also known as the “Yellow Flash,”gained the moniker of the “Flying Thunder God”from his exceptional speed and precise aim, attributed to his mastery of the Flying Raijin technique.

Boruto’s aptitude in mastering this technique and surpassing Minato’s expectations indicates a strong bond between them. His progress with this formidable jutsu has been truly mesmerizing to observe.

The recent discovery of Himawari’s link to Kurama, the formidable Nine Tailed Beast, has been just as astonishing and significant in the Boruto manga.

According to the spoilers for chapter 9 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it has been revealed that Himawari is a Jinchuriki with a miniature version of Kurama sealed within her.

The discovery poses numerous inquiries about the means by which Himawari obtained such immense power. Furthermore, it indicates a deep connection between the Uzumaki siblings and the renowned tailed beasts.

Surprisingly, in episode 93 of the anime, there was a subtle foreshadowing of this development. Himawari was seen holding a flyer with a miniature Kurama, hinting at her future connection with the Nine-Tailed Beast.

Additionally, in the most recent chapter of the manga series, Himawari’s appearance bore a striking resemblance to that of Kushina’s after she had channeled Kurama’s powers.
