Exploring the Reason for Kawaki’s Presence with Delta in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9

The spoilers for chapter 9 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex have finally revealed the long-awaited return of Kurama, although it was not in the typical manner. Despite Jura’s successful defeat of Kawaki, the latter quickly regained consciousness and came face to face with Boruto. The main character had returned to the village to confront the latest danger.

During the entirety of chapters 8 and 9, Kawaki was accompanied by Delta, which has piqued the interest of many fans. This is due to Delta’s unwavering loyalty to Eida and her consistent antagonism towards Kawaki throughout the story.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex: The Importance of Delta to Kawaki

In chapter 8, Kawaki and Delta tried to track down Boruto based on information from Eida. Despite their efforts, the protagonist was able to elude them with his teleportation powers. As Kawaki and Delta were away from the village, Jura and Hidari took advantage of the opportunity to enter and search for “Naruto.”However, Kawaki intercepted them before they could make any progress.

Jura quickly subdued Kawaki, causing him to lose consciousness, and assigned Delta to monitor him while he was unconscious. While the full details of chapter 9 have not been disclosed, it is implied that Kawaki and Delta work together as a duo.

It can be inferred from Kawaki’s use of Delta as a backup or diversion in his face-offs with the protagonist that the protagonist has already proven to be more skilled and adept in combat. Kawaki’s only edge is his control over his Karma mode. However, the protagonist refrains from utilizing his Karma due to the potential danger of being possessed by Momoshiki again, leaving Kawaki’s Karma as his ultimate weapon against Boruto.

This reinforces the belief that Kawaki relies on Delta as a contingency during his battles against Boruto. This is particularly significant as Daemon’s main priority is to protect and assist Eida, while Mitsuki is occupied with his own personal affairs. As a result, Delta remains the sole possible “comrade”that Kawaki can utilize in his confrontations with his adversary.

Despite sensing the deaths of several Hidden Leaf shinobi, Boruto quickly returns to the village in chapter 9. Despite their rivalry, the protagonist showcases their superior skill by easily dodging Kawaki’s Black Receiver rods.

This passage showcases the protagonist’s progression beyond Kawaki’s skills. Furthermore, the chapter reveals a possible link between Himawari and a young tailed beast that resides within her. This revelation sparks theories about the possibility of tailed beasts being reborn as part of a new storyline. However, it is crucial to keep in mind that tailed beasts are pure chakra beings in the Naruto franchise.

Despite their ability to revive after death, the preservation of one’s sense of self and individuality remains uncertain. The revelation from Himawari introduces a new level of perplexity to the story, prompting inquiries about her purpose and the importance of the tailed beast residing within her.

Despite not showing the long-awaited fight between the protagonist and Kawaki, which fans had been eagerly anticipating, chapter 9 did offer a definitive indication of the relative power levels between the two characters.

Despite being a challenging attack during Naruto and Sasuke’s battle against Jigen, the protagonist effortlessly avoided the Black Receiver rods. Furthermore, Chapter 9 uncovered that Himawari may become the next jinchuriki and form a bond with the new nine-tailed fox, which emerged after Kurama’s passing. The official release date for Chapter 9 is April 21, 2024.
