The name used by the Shinju to refer to the protagonist of the series was a notable element that captured the interest of readers. Hidari, the Shinju responsible for sealing Sasuke Uchiha, also addressed the protagonist as Boruto Otsutsuki. This name was not exclusive to Hidari, as there were numerous other antagonists who referred to the protagonist by the same name.

There are multiple factors contributing to the protagonist being referred to as an Otsutsuki. Nonetheless, it should be noted that the manga has not yet disclosed the rationale behind this peculiar situation. Despite this, one can speculate as to why the Shinju, specifically Hidari, has deemed the protagonist to be Boruto Otsutsuki.

It is possible to refer to the protagonist as an Otsutsuki for various reasons. Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto have implied a potential link between the protagonist and the Otsutsuki Clan.

The clan is known for its members possessing extraordinary powers, including the legendary Otsutuski God who is said to be one of the most formidable beings. This connection between the clan and the protagonist is undeniable and will be further explored as the series unfolds.

The Otsutsuki Takeover

It is possible that Hidari referred to the protagonist as Boruto Otsutsuki because he had fully succumbed to the Otsutsuki’s control over his body. As a vessel, the protagonist’s DNA had been encoded with that of an Otsutsuki clan member, allowing for resurrection in the event of their death. The manga series later revealed that the protagonist had transformed into a complete Otsutsuki.

It is likely that Hidari became aware of the Otsutsuki within him, leading the Shinju to refer to him by that name. This is further reinforced by an encounter with Kawaki, during which the protagonist was unable to control himself and had to flee when his Karma was activated.

Signs of Otsutsuki Chakra

As the Shinju are beings that originate from the chakra of the Ten-Tailed Beast, they took on physical forms after being sealed within certain shinobi. The Otsutsuki Clan and the Ten-Tailed Beast are linked in some way. The Shinju are striving to understand the world and discover more about their own being. Therefore, Hidari’s confident declaration of the protagonist as an Otsutsuki indicates a connection between the two.

It is likely that Hidari utilized his senses to discern the type of chakra possessed by the protagonist and thus gave him this specific name. Nonetheless, it is certain that the manga will uncover a more profound correlation as the narrative unfolds. Many aspects remain enigmatic and their enigmas will be solved as the plot develops.
