Read Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 19 (Konohamaru Chan) Manga Online In High Quality For Free

So, we have Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 19, titled Konohamaru-chan, and in this chapter, we get a lot more action compared to the previous chapters. Coming off at the end of Boruto manga Chapter 18, we see Sarada, Mitsuki, and the Sand ninja begin to battle Ryu alongside Konohamaru, who is confronted by Matsuri. We also get more information about the Shinju ideology when it comes to the concept of love. Jura concludes that they must overcome it in order to achieve what they want.

Two Blue Vortex Chapter 19 was another great chapter, in my personal opinion, as we got a lot more in terms of ramping up this current arc. The battles, especially involving Sarada, Mitsuki, and the Sand ninja versus Ryu, were incredible. In my opinion, we got more screen time for these side characters, especially with Sarada and Mitsuki. We saw more of Sarada’s versatility in using her jutsu, as well as Mitsuki tapping back into Sage Mode. I think it’s safe to say that he can finally use it on a more consistent basis compared to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part One, and especially the anime. As we know, whenever Mitsuki used Sage Mode in the past, it would break his body down. It seems like this isn’t the case anymore. I’m glad we get to see more of him at least battling in the main story of the Boruto manga.

So, let’s start at the top of the chapter. At the beginning of Chapter 19, we see a flashback involving the Sand ninja—Araya, Yodo, and Shinki. Here, we see Shinki put some sort of jutsu on Araya’s blade. Shinki explains that he infused the blade with his chakra so that if Araya were to apply his wind-style sword jutsu to it, he would be able to manipulate the iron sand. This effectively keeps Shinki in check in case he loses control in a scenario like this. It becomes helpful now that Ryu has control of Shinki’s iron sand. The only way to truly combat this is through the blade Shinki infused with his chakra. Shinki explains that the reason he does this is to protect someone like Gaara, his father—once again showing another concept of love. This demonstrates another character doing whatever it takes to protect their father figure.

We’ve already seen this with Kawaki, albeit in very extreme measures. Boruto’s relationship with Naruto, as well as Sasuke, has also been a prime example of this theme. Now, we see it with Shinki.

Anyway, we jump back to the current timeline, where Araya frees Mitsuki from the iron sand by swinging his blade. He explains to everyone on the battlefield that he will take care of the iron sand and that the current objective is to attack Ryu head-on. This totally excites Ryu, as he hears that the characters he is battling are confident and determined to take him down.

I have to give credit to Ikemoto here—man, whenever we get to see these close-ups, especially when Ryu says stuff like this, and the iron sand is being manipulated throughout the air during the battle, it is very visually appealing. I really like it, and it’s something we haven’t seen much of when it comes to abilities in Boruto so far. Especially in Part One, and even in Two Blue Vortex, we haven’t really seen abilities as visually detailed as the iron sand. Yes, we’ve seen some impressive moments, like Boruto’s Uzuhiko when fighting someone like Code or Hidari, but one thing I’ve noticed in TBV is that these jutsu are getting more complex and much more appealing to read, page by page.

We see this here as the battle begins with Ryu throwing the iron sand, trying to attack everyone at once. However, thanks to Araya’s blade, he can manipulate the iron sand to ensure it doesn’t harm them. He does this multiple times at the beginning of the battle, allowing Sarada and Mitsuki to create an opening to attack right away.

This fight is very interesting to me because we actually see Sarada and Mitsuki work in tandem. We’ve already seen Sarada team up with Boruto Uzumaki and Konohamaru when they were fighting Hidari earlier in the Boruto manga back in Konoha. However, now that they’re fighting Ryu by themselves, you can see the urgency to take down someone like him.

With the iron sand being manipulated within the air, Sarada and Mitsuki can attack freely, clearly hurting Ryu. Ryu is caught by surprise and attacked repeatedly. It’s not like he is currently dominating the fight, but since the iron sand is being countered and manipulated by Araya’s blade, Sarada and Mitsuki have the opportunity to fight without restriction.

I’m glad to see this because, if I’m being real, throughout Part One, we didn’t see Sarada and Mitsuki carry their own weight. In this battle, however, they’re holding their own. Obviously, in a one-on-one scenario without Araya and his blade, they would be cooked—we all know this. But since they are fighting together, you can see the strategy they’re employing.

Sarada uses a Fireball Jutsu to distract Ryu, while Mitsuki comes from behind to restrain him. This is where Mitsuki activates his Sage Mode once again, attempting to go in for the kill.

However, Ryu does escape in time by disintegrating himself into the iron sand, vanishing into thin air. Everybody is confused about where exactly Ryu went. However, thanks to Yodo’s super hearing ability, she is able to hear the pebbles of the sand forming within the air, locating where he is reforming. This ultimately catches Ryu by surprise, as they were able to locate him before he fully formed again. By using the pebbles in the air, Araya is able to catch him in midair, restricting his movement, which allows Sarada and Mitsuki to attack once again.

Mitsuki uses his snakes to attack Ryu, and then Sarada follows up with a Chidori, which clearly hurts him. However, it’s not enough, so he disintegrates again into the iron sand, trying to relocate himself to fight again. In the battle, Sarada even admits that the blow from the Chidori was too shallow and not enough to kill him.

We then jump into the conversation between Konohamaru and Matsuri, where Matsuri is fully lashing out at Konohamaru because he does not want her to call him “Konohamaru-chan,” which makes her incredibly angry. She activates a wood-style Jutsu around his neck, essentially ready to kill him at any time due to how he spoke to her. From Konohamaru’s perspective, I have to say he’s just selling this mission. I do understand that he doesn’t like Matsuri calling him that, but he must stay composed in a situation like this. Knowing how dangerous the Shinju are, he cannot afford to make any mistakes, and right here, he has made a completely grave mistake.

This is where Matsuri fully turns on him due to her feelings for him. She even calls Konohamaru selfish for talking to her that way and insists that she just wants to call him whatever she wants. When Konohamaru tries to fight back, it makes her even angrier, and she restrains him further by putting more wood-style Jutsu around his neck, once again threatening to kill him.

Eida, overlooking this conversation through the use of her Senrigan, explains that this isn’t what she wants for Konohamaru. However, since Matsuri and Konohamaru don’t have any sort of relationship whatsoever, Konohamaru finds her behavior unbearable. Still, in a situation like this, it is beyond Konohamaru’s control right now. Koji is able to gather this intel thanks to his telepathic communication with Eida.

Boruto gathers this information and discovers that Sarada and Mitsuki are fighting Ryu, while Konohamaru is in a situation where he is about to be devoured. As it stands, it seems like Konohamaru is doomed, and at any point, he may be killed. Meanwhile, Sarada and Mitsuki have no chance to assist Konohamaru, as they are fully occupied with fighting Ryu.

Boruto clearly looks troubled here. It seems he wants to go to the Land of Wind to help his teammates and take down these opponents. However, Koji tells Boruto that, while he understands why Boruto wants to assist, now is not the time. This makes things interesting because, even though Koji previously told Boruto not to go to the battlefield—since it would provoke Jura, who could kill everyone there—it does seem likely that Boruto will eventually make an appearance.

This is something to look forward to, as I was kind of expecting the side characters like Sarada, Mitsuki, and Konohamaru to hold their own. However, if the situation continues to worsen, especially from Konohamaru’s perspective, Boruto may have to step in. I don’t mind that at all, as we haven’t seen Boruto in action for a while. The past few chapters have focused on the other members of Team 7—and deservedly so.

 So, I’ve been enjoying seeing the screen time of Sarada, Mitsuki, and Konohamaru. However, if there is a time for Boruto to make an appearance, it would be soon, so just make sure to keep that in mind. Anyways, later in the chapter, we do get to see Jura talking to Hidari when it comes to the ideology of what it means to be a life form. Since all of these Shinju characters have the ability to think, one of Jura’s main goals right now, outside of just devouring an Otsutsuki in order to harbor a chakra fruit, is to be able to gather as much information as possible to learn more about the world. His thirst for knowledge is superseding some of his instincts to kill right away and devour some of the Otsutsuki like Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki Uzumaki.

Even though he does want to kill Boruto and devour Kawaki, he does explain his point of view: why do life forms act the way they do? He says, in his opinion, life forms should obey their instincts to strive towards the goal known as evolution. However, because of their social status in nature, humans bind themselves with what is called reasoning, which ultimately restricts their instincts, making them weaker. This creates a fatal flaw for mankind—it is a harmful side effect of acquiring intelligence. Compared to the Shinju, they are the ones who stay true to their instincts and don’t have to restrict themselves, thanks to reasoning.

But there are more side effects that restrict intelligence. One of them is the concept of love, and that is one of the problems that the Divine Trees are facing right now. Case in point: we see this with Matsuri. Her infatuation with Konohamaru is so strong that it is driving her crazy. With the fact that Konohamaru does not reciprocate those same feelings, she is in a rage because of these feelings that she cannot truly process. This is why she made the statement that she does want to devour Konohamaru. It is her initial goal after all, and because if she does devour Konohamaru, she wouldn’t have to feel this way again. This is very important, as it will allow the Shinjus, such as Matsuri, to truly go after the instincts of what they want in life.

I think that’s pretty interesting because it provides reasoning for why some of these Shinjus are targeting these specific characters. Obviously, from a relationship standpoint, the characters that they are the prototype of have relationships with their targets, right? Obviously, Matsuri is the prototype of Moegi, who does have some feelings for Konohamaru, hence why she is feeling this way. The same goes for these other characters, who may have some sort of relationship with the prototypes of the targets that they want to devour.

This is why Jura comes to this conclusion, as he states that back when he was fighting Ino-Shika-Cho, they were willing to throw their lives away to protect Himawari. Knowing that they did not have the power to take down someone like Jura, we saw this earlier in TBV, where they prioritized Himawari’s safety over their own, knowing that eventually, they could die. Somebody like Inojin, for example, lost composure when seeing Jura play around with Himawari, and this put him in a position where he almost died. But thanks to him being healed and saved by Himawari later in the story, Jura realizes that these actions are created by the concepts of love.

This is something he questioned when battling Team 10 earlier in Two Blue Vortex, pondering why these characters were willing to throw their lives away to protect a comrade. This concept is so foreign to him, which is why he couldn’t comprehend it right away. But after seeing multiple examples of this—with Team 10 trying to save Himawari and then Himawari going into a rage after seeing Inojin basically die in front of her eyes, where she activates the Nine Tails’ chakra for the first time—he comes to this conclusion that the Shinju must overcome this concept in order to achieve what they want.

In my opinion, I think it’s pretty dope to see a character like this come to conclusions about what exactly humanity is. When it comes to these characters protecting their comrades and the village, they’re willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill the mission, even if it means throwing their lives away. This is the humanity that the Boruto manga series has provided, which some of these villains simply don’t understand because they are not human. Even though they have humanlike natures, with thoughts and emotions like love, they don’t understand them. This is why someone like Jura is so confused when he sees it for the first time. And with someone like Matsuri, she becomes so angry and driven crazy because she cannot overcome the emotions she has for Konohamaru. These are the instincts that are telling the Shinju what to do and are ultimately driving them. They must overcome the concept of love.

Anyways, we get to the battlefield with Ryu, where he forms again with the iron sand. He actually pulls out a bunch of Claw Grimes that fall from the sky. Sarada and Mitsuki try to take out as many as possible; however, there are so many Claw Grimes that their initial attacks are not enough. They all fall to the ground when they attack. Sarada, Mitsuki, and Yodo are then caught by surprise when one of the Claw Grimes bites Yodo’s back. Araya tries to follow through with his blade to protect his comrade. However, the blade gets stuck between the Claw Grimes. Ryu then throws the Claw Grime holding the blade inside of it into another Claw Grime and ultimately teleports them away. This means that the blade, which was essentially being used to fight back and counter the iron sand, is no longer there.

Since they no longer have it, they don’t have an answer when it comes to fighting Ryu. Despite all the powers they possess, the only thing that allows them to actually fight back against Ryu is this blade, which keeps the iron sand in check. Without it, they are essentially powerless, ultimately meaning that they are cooked. This is where the chapter ends, with Team 7 realizing that they are in a bind. Meanwhile, Matsuri has begun to devour Konohamaru, and this is where the chapter concludes.

Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 19 was a banger, in my opinion. On the first read, I thought it was cool, but after rereading it a few times, I realized how creative this battle was between Ryu versus Sarada, Mitsuki, and the Sand Ninja. The creativity and strategy reminded me of a classic Naruto fight. I also have to say the art was pretty good. The perspective panels, especially when showing characters like Ryu or Jura explaining their perspectives, were well done. Matsuri’s anger toward Konohamaru was captured effectively, with some great close-up shots. Additionally, during the battle with Ryu, the way Ikemoto portrayed the angles of Sarada and Mitsuki attacking him was pretty cool to see.

The ending of this chapter opens up many theories and possibilities for the future of TBV as we head into Two Blue Vortex Chapter 20. For example, when will Boruto actually arrive on the battlefield? Is Kawaki getting his limiters unlocked by Amado? Can Konohamaru and the rest of Team 7 survive on their own?

In my opinion, I don’t think they can, and I definitely believe help is on the way, whether it’s Boruto or Kawaki once Amado assists him.
