OG Naruto Character Criticized for Harsh Actions in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14

Ibiki Morino showcases his skills as a formidable interrogator in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14, but his harsh methods have not been well received by fans.

In Chapter 13 of Boruto, Boruto was apprehended by the Konoha shinobi, signaling that he would soon encounter severe challenges. Chapter 14 escalates the situation as the protagonist finds himself subjected to interrogation.

The chapter opens with Konohamaru calmly questioning Boruto about the Shinju and the circumstances surrounding Naruto’s ‘death’. However, the tone shifts dramatically when Ibiki Morino takes the reins of the interrogation. Known for his ruthless efficiency, Ibiki’s reputation was established during the original Naruto series.

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14, Ibiki takes control of the interrogation after Boruto refuses to disclose his informant, Koji Kashin, even when threatened with death. The seasoned ninja expresses his eagerness to confront Boruto, fueled by the news of Naruto’s ‘murder’.

When Boruto taunts him about having too much time on his hands, Ibiki responds by violently slamming Boruto’s head onto the table and brutally assaulting him. This scene is particularly distressing, especially since readers are aware of Boruto’s innocence and his motives to save the world.

However, Ibiki and the other shinobi only see Boruto as a criminal responsible for the death of their beloved leader. Their animosity and harsh treatment towards the alleged killer can be understood in this context. Still, readers find the mistreatment of a teenager unsettling, especially when juxtaposed with Naruto’s compassionate treatment of Kawaki, despite his past errors.

“I need karma for everyone who has hurt Boruto, especially if people ever realize that he and Kawaki were switched, I better see a line of people apologizing to him one by one,” wrote one user on X.

“How Ibiki feels showing his face for the first time since the chūnin exams in Naruto part 1 smh,” mocked another user, likening him to a humorous scene from Deadpool & Wolverine.

“Don’t forget they mention in OG Naruto that Ibiki is a sadist, so it’s no surprise he wants to physically harm him first before probing his mind,” added a third commenter.

A fourth commented: “They are assaulting a handicapped underage.”

Despite the intense ordeal in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 14, Boruto fortunately gains his freedom by the chapter’s conclusion. Readers are now eager to see what unfolds next.

While awaiting the next chapter, discover more about why Boruto’s villains are considered “purely evil” and the mystery behind Sarada’s oversized jacket. You can also learn how Kurama returns from death.
