Boruto’s Potential Escape from Konoha: Will He Rely on Help Other Than Mitsuki?

“Boruto: Two Blue Vortex”delves deeper into the theme of characters grappling with the divergence between their emotional experiences and their actual memories influenced by Eida’s Omnipotence. Shikamaru was the first to recognize this disparity, using Ino’s help to assist Boruto in processing these revelations.

However, in Chapter 14, Ino decided to suspend her support for Shikamaru after witnessing the injuries suffered by Inojin, who had been impaled by Jura. While Ino’s anxiety about the situation is clear, no sign of Inojin’s father, Sai, a former ANBU member, emerges.

As Sai is one of Naruto’s closest friends and among the most skilled shinobi currently active, there’s a possibility he may align with Shikamaru in becoming a pivotal character aiding the protagonists’ escape from Konoha.

The conclusion of Boruto Part 1 saw the main character branded as a fugitive, with the entire world under the influence of Eida’s Omnipotence. While the specific mechanisms of this technique remain largely ambiguous, its repercussions are evident in the memories shared by characters in the saga.

Omnipotence has essentially reversed the roles of Boruto and Kawaki in the minds of all living beings, positioning Kawaki as Naruto’s son. While this alteration is widely accepted within the narrative, perceptive characters such as Shikamaru and Amado have begun to discern the flaws and inconsistencies in their recollections.

Amado has come to suspect that his memories have been tampered with, allowing him to piece together part of the broader scheme in play, which involves both Kawaki’s real identity and Boruto’s predicament.

Shikamaru, now the acting Hokage, continues to trust his instincts, leading him to support Boruto. However, Ino, who initially aided him in maintaining communication with Boruto, hesitated due to concerns for Inojin’s well-being, impeding the Yamanaka clan’s interests.

Sai, a previous Team 7 member and currently an ANBU leader, has been notably absent during key moments, such as Boruto’s interrogation. His lack of involvement in discussions surrounding the village’s most wanted criminal could indicate a potential shift in his loyalties.

While Shikamaru and Amado operate with heightened analytical inferences, Sai possesses sufficient experience through his past with the ANBU and his bond with Naruto. He might already be harboring doubts regarding the ongoing situation.

Currently, Boruto is in Konoha, where Mitsuki and Shikamaru are working tirelessly to prevent his capture. It’s plausible that Sai may start recognizing memory inconsistencies, eventually siding with Boruto and Ino to orchestrate his breakout from Konoha.

Concluding Thoughts

The upcoming Chapter 15 of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex”is slated for release on October 20, 2024, and is expected to shed light on Boruto’s next moves and the ramifications brought on by the introduction of a new member to the Shinju. The narrative continues to build towards an inevitable internal crisis in the management of the Hidden Leaf Village, which many fans anticipate could lead to a Civil War arc unfolding within Konoha.
