Read Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 21 (Mangekyo Sharingan) Manga Online In High Quality For Free

So, Chapter 21 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex is finally here. Let’s just say that Sarada is indeed the honored one. Her Mangekyō ability not only allows her to fly but also instantly crushes her enemies into nothingness.

We also have Boruto putting the fate of the world at risk when he saves Konohamaru by slicing and dicing Matsuri. So, as you can see, we have a lot to discuss—but of course, we’re going to start from the top.

The person on the cover is Sarada, and the title is “Mangekyō Sharingan.” Also, if you, the reader, take a closer look, the page actually displays the Mangekyō ability itself—so that’s pretty cool.

Now, the chapter starts with a flashback to a conversation Sarada had with Chocho, where she tells her that becoming Hokage is her dream—specifically a Hokage like the Seventh, referring to Naruto. Chocho then replies that all she really cares about right now is finding a boyfriend, and there’s nothing wrong with taking it easy.

That’s when Sarada remembers what Boruto said to her in Boruto manga Chapter 10—that he wants to become a shinobi like her father and protect her when she becomes Hokage.

We then switch to the infamous panel that started all the shipping wars, where Sumire questions Sarada about whether it bothers her that Boruto is popular with the girls or not. She then states—and proudly proclaims—that it does bother her.

We then get a panel of Naruto (which I believe is from Naruto Gaiden, but correct me if I’m wrong in the comments). Naruto says that to him, the Hokage is someone who thinks of everyone in the village like family. This is what pretty much inspires Sarada to become a Hokage like Naruto specifically, which she also mentions again in Chapter 1 of Two Blue Vortex.

We then get new panels of Sarada running toward a certain destination while saying, “I’m not an amazing shinobi. That’s why I can’t waste my time thinking about pointless things. I’ve got to protect the future of everyone in the village in order to become Hokage like Lord Seventh.”

Based on the fact that the next panel shows Boruto saving Sarada after Kawaki tried to kill her, I think the scene is supposed to show Sarada running toward that location after finding out that Kawaki was the one who tried to kill Boruto.

Then it shows Kawaki looking down at Sarada after Boruto saved her, saying that she should beat it and asking how many times she’s going to get in his way until she’s satisfied. This just reminded me how crazy Kawaki was in Part One, man. Like, bro was ready to end the Uchiha bloodline right then and there—just to kill Boruto.

I think the Boruto fandom forgot how unhinged Kawaki can get, and that’s because he’s been taking so many L’s in Two Blue Vortex. But once those limiters get removed? I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s going to be crazy—but we’ll see.

We then get a mash-up of events from Omnipotence, where Shikamaru says they can’t find Naruto, Mitsuki is trying to kill Boruto, and Sasuke thinks Boruto is the enemy. So, it does seem like Sarada is either remembering these moments (which I doubt), or more likely, the writer is trying to show us what led to Sarada awakening her Mangekyō Sharingan—and I think this is a pretty good way to do it.

Next, we skip to a flashback of Boruto and Sasuke. Sasuke explains that the Mangekyō is a mutation of the Sharingan, and its awakening is triggered by experiencing an extreme mental or emotional shock. He then goes on to say that something unprecedented happened—something that far surpasses mere mortal understanding.

“All of us are being tricked. That’s what she told me. It’s most likely the truth.”

To him, Sarada’s Mangekyō was more than enough to serve as a basis for belief.

So, I think this pretty much confirms we can drop the theories that Sarada used Genjutsu on Sasuke to force him to believe her. That’s not what the manga is telling us. And yes, it’s still possible Sasuke was placed under a Genjutsu without knowing it—like the Kotoamatsukami used by Shisui, which allowed him to manipulate people without them ever realizing it.

So, sure, it’s possible, but I do think the writer is trying to tell us what happened—and we can just believe him.

Sasuke then says that in order to stand against this situation (referring to Omnipotence), “those eyes will become a great source of power.” Which, by the way, is peak parental bias—because Sasuke doesn’t even know if that power will be useful! Like, what if she gained the ability to spawn water bubbles or make someone taller? That’s not helpful to anyone.

And let’s be real: the Mangekyō literally does whatever the plot wants it to do. Luckily for him—and the planet—he was right.

Then Sasuke says something very important: that it seemed like Sarada herself was unaware that she had awakened it. And this has been a topic of conversation ever since it happened—what, over two years ago now?

One part of the fandom believed Sarada wasn’t using the Mangekyō because she didn’t deem it worthy for the fights she was in. Others believed she wasn’t using it simply because she didn’t know she had it.

Now, we’ve seen this happen in Naruto before. I’m not going to go over that again because I’m sure you manga readers are tired of hearing the same thing over and over.

So, if you want to learn more, go check out the Boruto Two Blue Vortex blog. There have been other examples of this—take Obito, for instance, who didn’t know he had awakened the Mangekyō and only realized it much later. Then you have Mr. Sasuke himself, who didn’t know he awakened the Sharingan the same night Itachi killed their parents. Even Sarada awakened her Sharingan years before it appeared on-screen, which was confirmed by Sakura in the anime.

Sasuke then says that the time will undoubtedly come when she realizes the awakening has occurred and that she should instinctively come to understand it—her own ability and what she can do with it.

That’s when we skip back to the present, finally, and we see Sarada using her Mangekyō ability. She looks toward Ryu, spawns a black object in midair, and Ryu tries to attack Sarada using his sand. But as it approaches her, the sand suddenly changes trajectory and gets sucked into the black object.

Ryu notices this and says, “What is this black sphere?” Sarada tells him—it’s her ability. She then tells Mitsuki to take care of Araya and Yodo and focus on protecting himself. She reassures him not to worry. Even though she just awakened this ability, she already fundamentally understands what it is.

This ties into what I said in the prior article: that every Uchiha instinctively understands their Mangekyō ability. This isn’t unique to Sarada. We’ve seen this with Sasuke when he awakened Amaterasu, and later when he used Inferno Style: Flame Control. The same applies to Obito when he first reawakened his Mangekyō Sharingan. So yes, it might seem a bit contrived—but it’s just how it works.

Now, Mr. Ryu is very smart, as we’ve seen in prior chapters. After noticing that every time he sends his sand toward Sarada it gets sucked into the sphere, he decides to attack her from below. He says to himself, “If you’re not in the straight path of its orbit, it’s not a problem.” That does seem to be true, since Sarada reacts to the sand but doesn’t attract it using the sphere behind her.

Instead, she spawns a new one directly in the sand’s path and attracts it to that one. Ryu then realizes that she doesn’t just have two spheres on the battlefield—there are at least four of them in different locations.

Sarada then seems to target Ryu specifically, and he begins to get pulled toward one of the spheres. Mitsuki notes that this is the power of gravity, as Sarada starts to float as well. He says the sphere itself is likely generating gravity—Ryu, his iron sand, and Sarada herself are all being affected by it. Araya and the surrounding lifeforms, however, remain unaffected. She’s choosing them. Sarada is choosing her targets.

So, Sarada’s Mangekyō ability appears to be gravity—very similar to Pain’s Planetary Devastation, which allowed him to target individuals and attract them toward a central gravitational point, trapping them with rubble from the surrounding environment. Sarada’s version has a slightly different endpoint, but we’ll get to that shortly.

Ryu tries to save himself by using his sand as an anchor, but to no avail—it also gets sucked into the sphere.

Miss Sarada then powers up—clearly feeling confident—and says:

“For a long time, I chose to turn away. My goal of becoming Hokage felt so far away, so I became impatient. For every calamity that occurred, I was always unable to do anything. I didn’t want to admit that I was actually powerless. I was scared to face that reality, so I turned away from it.
Present feelings—which refers to Sumire—and the unrest in my heart about what I truly thought of Boruto… I thought all that was just weakness. I was in denial.
And without realizing it, at the same time, I was denying the power hidden within me.”

Sarada then embraces her truth and creates a massive sphere. She says:

“If you run away from yourself, you can’t confront the truths in front of you. You can’t save a single person.”

This also plays into the Yodo and Araya dynamic. Araya clearly has feelings for Yodo that he hasn’t confessed yet. I’d really like to see how that subplot plays out. I’m not sure if Yodo is dead—it seems like she might be, but it hasn’t been confirmed. So let’s see if the next Boruto chapter pulls any shenanigans to bring her back to life—or at least revive her consciousness.

But Ryu tries to escape by pulling out a claw grime and attempting to teleport using the claw mark on his body. We then see his finger manifesting from the cube in the Ten Tails’ dimension, and Jura seems to be aware of it—but it doesn’t help him, which is crazy.

Sarada then stops him by applying more gravity to his body, preventing him from moving even a single finger. She then goes on to say that becoming Hokage is her dream, but first, she has to start by accepting herself. This somewhat reminded me of that waterfall scene where Naruto confronted the resentment he had toward the villagers because of how they treated him as a child. He had to accept himself, believe in himself, and let go of that resentment because it was the only way to move forward and become Hokage for those very people.

I think that’s what this moment represents for Sarada as well.

She then says, “Mangekyō Sharingan,” and the actual Mangekyō pattern spawns in midair. We see the Mangekyō design surrounding Sarada, including the black spheres. This is very interesting—I doubt we’ve ever seen something like this happen before in Naruto. Of course, I’m going to do some research for you, dear reader, and see what it ties into, then follow up with a blog later this week. So we’ll see.

Now, what happens next is very interesting. The ball of gravity—or the sphere itself—collapses on Ryu and turns him into dust, which then reforms into his thorn soul bulb. Mind you, every time Sarada used an ability throughout this fight, the emphasis was placed on her right eye, which suggests we haven’t yet seen Sarada’s full capabilities with the Mangekyō. Everything she has done—spawning the spheres, attracting Ryu toward them, and even causing the implosion on Ryu—has all come from the right Mangekyō.

So I just can’t wait to see what her next ability is. And if you manga readers have any ideas, let me know in the comments section.

Sarada then starts bleeding from her right eye and collapses under the strain of the ability, but Mitsuki catches her and brings her to safety—similar to what he did when Boruto transformed into Momoshiki for the first time.

We then switch to Eida saying, “Just now, Ryu was defeated with the help of Sarada’s new power.” Koji then says, “So she awakened it successfully. One of the most important outcomes of this battle was having her accomplish that feat.”

Eida replies, “It’s a shame about Yodo,” but Koji says, “It couldn’t be helped. Her sacrifice made great contributions to the overall outcome. It was not made in vain.”

Then Boruto looks at Kashin Koji, shocked, and says, “Hey, wait, Koji. Answer me truthfully. Was there a future where everyone lived, and Sarada still awakened her power?”

Koji responds, “At the very least, I’ll say this: if you had attempted to provide backup, Sarada would have never awakened it.”

Boruto replies, “So you knew—and didn’t say anything about it? You said nothing to me about Yodo ending up like this!”

Koji answers, “I judged there was no reason to tell you. And right now, you have led me to understand that my judgment was not mistaken.”

So, as I’ve said before, Koji is willing to let anyone die to achieve what he wants. This doesn’t make Koji evil, per se—he’s just willing to do what must be done. Boruto, of course, will try to save everyone, while Koji is willing to sacrifice anyone to ensure the survival of the planet.

So, if Konohamaru needs to die, Koji will allow that to happen.

This leads Boruto to finally realize what’s happening and ask, “What’s happening to Konohamaru? Can he win against Matsuri? I asked you a question.”

Koji says, “Listen to this instead, Boruto. Jura has shared senses with the other Shinju currently on the battlefield. If you show yourself in front of Matsuri, you’ll be noticed immediately by Jura—and you’ll be killed.”

I saw several patterns that led me to this conclusion.

This, of course, being a non-answer to Boruto, implies that yes, Konohamaru will die. Because if he wasn’t going to, Koji would have simply said so. Boruto wouldn’t have needed to go to that location otherwise. Boruto is smart—and he realizes what’s about to happen.

We then cut to Konohamaru vs. Matsuri. Somehow, Konohamaru manages to lose to a half-bodied Matsuri with no hands. She says, “How dare you treat me like this, you scumbag. I won’t forgive you.”

And that’s when—out of nowhere—we see a shuriken thrown into the back of Matsuri. Boruto appears, draws his sword, and chops Matsuri into very fine pieces—emulating my boy Future Trunks with what he did to Frieza.

It really shows how fast Boruto is. Konohamaru is still looking off to the side when Boruto appears. While Konohamaru’s still distracted, Boruto has already appeared next to him and finished off Matsuri—before Konohamaru even realizes Boruto is standing in front of him.

Koji starts to panic and says, “That hard-headed brat! Does he really want to make all of our efforts for nothing?!”

That’s when we see that Jura has witnessed the event through the eyes of Matsuri. He goes on to say, “So you have appeared—outside—Boruto.”

The chapter ends, and the side text says:

“Mr. Boruto relentlessly cuts through the future—even if it invites his own death.”

So that’s it for the Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 21. It was an awesome chapter. A lot happened. The fight was amazing, and Sarada now has one of the strongest Mangekyō abilities in the entire existence of Naruto, which is pretty insane.
