Kashin Koji’s Secret Agenda Revealed: Why He’s Keeping Boruto in the Dark

The thirteenth chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex was released on August 21, 2024. Kashin Koji’s shinjutsu, which allows him to see all possible future outcomes, has sparked a frenzy among fans and has already caused chaos within the fandom. While this ability is closely tied to the series’ opening scene, some fans are questioning whether Kashin Koji can be trusted with such a powerful and potentially dangerous ability.

There is likely a valid explanation for this, as the narrative has already hinted at a confrontation between Kawaki and the main character, despite the latter’s insistence on creating a future where they do not clash in front of Koji. This suggests that Koji may have a different objective than defeating Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Exploring the Possible Reasons for Kashin Koji’s Secrecy in Boruto Two Blue Vortex

In Boruto Two Blue Vortex, the main character was aided by a frog in escaping from the shinobi. Kashin Koji then teleported them to Orochimaru’s hideout. As soon as they were rescued, Koji questioned the protagonist’s identity, as they were both affected by the Omnipotence.

Despite having previously witnessed this event, Koji was easily persuaded. He then showcased his newly acquired ability, the Ten Directions, which had just been awakened. Despite being unsuccessful in his attempt to eliminate Isshiki Otsutsuki, Koji was able to harness this shinjutsu power, granting him the ability to foresee all potential outcomes of any given action.

In order to convince the protagonist, Kashin Koji shares a scenario in which the death of the protagonist’s father, Naruto, was prevented. This leads the protagonist to trust Kashin Koji and express gratitude for his belief. However, this trust ultimately causes issues as it stems from Koji’s questionable actions.

As observed in the chapter, Koji’s actions towards the protagonist were quite transparent, which is atypical for a highly skilled shinobi. Furthermore, his expression of gratitude towards the protagonist appeared dubious.

The use of Koji’s Ten Directions shinjutsu technique, as seen in the opening scene of the series where the protagonist and Kawaki engage in a fight, further contributes to Koji’s strange actions. Following their conversation, the protagonist vowed to prevent a future where he and Kawaki would be at odds.

Despite the protagonist having Koji on his side, the beginning of the series showed that things were still quite different as the two continued to clash. This suggests that Koji may have been keeping something from the protagonist, as evidenced by his reveal of his Ten Directions powers.

This could potentially be linked to his upcoming objective following his unsuccessful attempt to eliminate Isshiki Otsutsuki. While the details of this mission remain unknown, it will likely revolve around ensuring that the protagonist and Kawaki cross paths in the future.

Although these actions may not classify him as a spy for the antagonists in the series, they could be crucial for ensuring a safe future that Koji was unable to disclose to the protagonist when he rescued him.
