Sakura’s Comeback May Prompt Boruto to Lure Allies from Kawaki and the Hidden Leaf Village

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has been exploring the shifting power dynamics between Kawaki and the primary protagonist since its inception. With Eida’s Omnipotence capable of swaying almost all of Hidden Leaf to align with Kawaki, the main character finds himself branded as a fugitive. However, the narrative has shifted focus to the long-term repercussions of this event, alongside the resistance demonstrated by select characters.

Characters such as Himawari, Sarada, and Shikamaru have exhibited signs of resisting the influence of Omnipotence, which hints at a potential rift within Hidden Leaf regarding the treatment of Naruto’s true son.

While there’s yet to be any official confirmation, a preview from chapter 14 teases the return of Sakura, who is set to help Ino’s son. Should this unfold, both characters might emerge as supporters of the protagonist, challenging the prevailing opinions within Hidden Leaf.

Eida’s Omnipotence and the alteration of memories for everyone, save for the protagonist and Kawaki, are pivotal elements that drive the plot of Blue Vortex.

Although the specifics of Eida’s Omnipotence remain largely unexplained, its classification as a near-divine technique suggests it may manipulate the chakra within individuals’ bodies, functioning akin to a lifelong genjutsu that perpetually alters memories.

Genjutsu similarly operates by interfering with chakra to affect the five senses, ultimately creating illusions. Therefore, Omnipotence could essentially mirror jutsu like genjutsu, activating automatically once unleashed.

Like any jutsu, Omnipotence requires a source of chakra, presumably linked to the natural energy underlying Sage techniques, since it appears to operate continuously throughout the world.

Inojin faced near-fatal consequences at the hands of Jura, as confirmed in the sneak peeks of chapter 14 showcasing Sakura’s healing efforts. Should Inojin disconnect from the natural chakra surrounding him, he may wake up with accurate memories of Boruto being Naruto’s actual son.

As Inojin’s healer, Sakura might initially dismiss his assertions as a byproduct of his blurred thoughts post-near-death experience. However, her strong ties to the absent Sasuke and the presumed-deceased Naruto could prompt her to delve deeper into Inojin’s experiences, potentially uncovering the chakra disturbances that suppress doubts about the distorted memories.

Considering Sakura’s pivotal role in Kaguya’s defeat, she may ultimately align herself with Boruto, rallying the skeptical members of Hidden Leaf to stand in support of the protagonist over Kawaki.

Final Thoughts

While the trajectory of conflict remains ambiguous as of chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the protagonist’s unique position as the sole resistance against the Shinju, combined with his comprehensive understanding of current events, makes his survival imperative.

It is plausible that numerous supporters will help him escape, potentially leading to Kawaki’s contentious takeover of the village—setting the stage for the anticipated “War arc”that many fans are eager to witness.
