The Secret Behind Jura’s Roots and His Connection to Love

The central mystery in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 25 strikes at the very heart of the shinobi world. Fans are about to discover what Jura is truly capable of and the secret behind those strange roots he uses. I’ve already cracked it, and I’m here to share my full theory.

The Mystery of the Roots

How did Jura unleash those massive roots of the Divine Tree — the Shinju — in the middle of the Sand Village’s desert when the Ten-Tails, the original source of that power, was supposedly neutralized decades ago? This detail isn’t just background flavor; it’s a potential game-changer that could rewrite the entire playbook for this new era.

For years, we believed that sealing Kaguya and splitting the Ten-Tails into the Tailed Beasts had permanently removed the threat of the Tree. Plus, the new Ten-Tails is hidden away in Code’s dimension, with no direct connection to Earth. So, where is Jura’s power really coming from? To answer this, we need to revisit the end of the Fourth Great Ninja War — with a focus on the fine print.

To understand Jura’s origins and how those Shinju roots came to be, it’s worth examining Code’s role in Jura’s creation, which further deepens the mystery.

The Hidden Legacy of the Divine Tree

When Kaguya Ōtsutsuki activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, she didn’t just cast a global genjutsu — she began an assimilation process, turning the planet into an incubator for the chakra fruit. The Divine Tree’s roots, which wrapped around the Earth, weren’t just chakra conduits; they were the physical manifestation of Kaguya’s will. Think of them as her vascular system, stretching through the planet’s crust and tectonic plates.

After Naruto and Sasuke sealed Kaguya, they used the chakra of all the Tailed Beasts and the Rinnegan’s power to cancel the genjutsu. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki said this would free everyone from the cocoons — but he never said anything about destroying the Tree’s physical structure. In essence, they turned off the lights but left the wiring in place.

This root system remained underground — dormant but soaked in residual chakra and natural energy collected over centuries. It’s not debris; it’s a scar on the Earth that never healed. This also ties into Kawaki’s connection to the Divine Tree, which explores how Kawaki—and by extension, Jura—might be inherently linked to the roots of the Shinju

Jura’s Built-in Access Key

Here’s where Jura comes in. As a conscious fragment of the Ten-Tails, he has a natural “access key” to this ancient network. He doesn’t create roots — he wakes them up. That’s how he appeared in Suna so suddenly.

It’s also the secret behind his insane regeneration. Even if he’s thousands of kilometers away from his main body (the tree doubling as Sasuke’s prison), he can tap into this underground network to heal instantly. Think of it like a mycelium network in mushrooms — or, within Naruto lore, the Aburame clan’s hive-minded insects or the White Zetsu network. The Shinju roots function the same way, but on a planetary scale.

Jura is not just an enemy who can appear anywhere — he’s an enemy who’s already everywhere.

The Role of Natural Energy

But here’s the question: If Jura’s regeneration is so great, why isn’t it automatic, like it was for Obito or Madara as Ten-Tails Jinchūriki?

While it’s true that his power is divided among his “brothers,” I think the deeper reason lies in natural energy — Senjutsu.

Hashirama Senju’s Sage Mode let him absorb natural energy in a constant flow, fueling his legendary regeneration. The Ten-Tails Jinchūriki were walking batteries of life force because they held centuries of accumulated natural energy. The Jūgo Clan had a similar — but unstable — gift.

The pattern is clear: autonomous regeneration depends on a continuous link to natural energy.

Jura’s Limitation

Here’s my shocking theory — despite being the embodiment of the Ten-Tails, Jura’s humanoid form might not be able to absorb natural energy directly. His consciousness could be just a chakra vessel, cut off from the “heart” — his massive tree body, the main pump for natural energy.

That’s why he needs the Shinju root network as a hookup to heal. They’re planetary capillaries carrying the energy he can’t access alone. This explains how he regenerated his Rinnegan after Kawaki destroyed it — not from his own chakra, but by pulling the “blueprint” from the global network.

Cut him off from that network — maybe with space-time ninjutsu or sealing — and his so-called immortality could crumble.

The Unexpected Variable: Love

But Jura’s biggest challenge might not be energy — it’s emotion.

Jura sees human reasoning as a weakness, a limitation that prevents optimal power growth. He cites Sasuke refusing to kill Naruto to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan as an example. From an evolutionary standpoint, it made no sense. But as Jura observes more, he starts to see a force stronger than reasoning — love.

Kawaki’s possessive love for Naruto drives him to near-genocide against the Ōtsutsuki. Sarada’s protective love for Boruto awakens her Mangekyō Sharingan through the urge to protect, breaking the Uchiha’s Curse of Hatred. Himawari inherits not just Kurama’s chakra but his will, fueled by her bond with Naruto.

Jura realizes love can be a catalyst for power — strong enough for Kawaki to land a massive blow when before he couldn’t scratch him.

Jura’s Changing Goal

Initially, Jura wanted to absorb Naruto for the Nine-Tails and Ōtsutsuki chakra. Now, he sees Naruto as the epicenter of love in the shinobi world — the man who turned the Tailed Beasts into allies through empathy. Jura now wants to assimilate love itself: to understand, control, and weaponize it.

This shift opens three possible paths for the story:

1. The Agony of Reason

Jura absorbs Naruto and understands love — but develops real attachment. If one of his Shinjū brothers is destroyed, he feels true grief for the first time. This heartbreak becomes fuel for a terrifying new transformation, much like Goku’s first Super Saiyan moment.

2. The Logic of Total Possession

Jura interprets love as total consumption — fusing with those he “loves” to save them from individuality, echoing Evangelion’s Human Instrumentality Project.

3. The Perfection of Emptiness

Jura sees love as a dangerous flaw in evolution. He sets out to destroy it entirely, forcing heroes into choices that betray their emotions.

Conclusion

Personally, I think “The Agony of Reason” offers the most dramatic potential — watching a godlike being break down over loss, then erupt with grief-fueled power, could be one of Naruto’s most iconic moments.

Jura isn’t just overpowered — he’s evolving, learning from the human heart itself. If he masters love as a weapon, the shinobi world could face a threat greater than Kaguya or Isshiki: a Ten-Tails wielder with access to the planetary chakra network and an understanding of the ultimate driving force behind all life.

Which path will Jura take? Will love empower him — or destroy him? Could the Shinju root network even restore Sasuke’s lost arm and Rinnegan? And most importantly — how can the heroes defeat an enemy who learns from their greatest strength?
