Who Will Destroy Konoha? Unraveling the Truth Behind Boruto Two Blue Vortex
Borushiki and Destruction of Konoha
An interesting detail appears in the new chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. Jura is not the one who will destroy Konoha, despite the destruction shown in the flashforward in Chapter 1. But who is responsible for the village’s destruction? At first glance, there are several possible candidates: Momoshiki, Code, Boruto, Kawaki, and Shibai.
While Boruto seems an unlikely candidate, his involvement in the destruction is possible only if Momoshiki takes over his body, turning him into Borushiki. However, this version seems more hypothetical, as Boruto, as a character, still retains control over himself and does not seek destruction. Kawaki, on the other hand, is much more likely. His powers and motivation to protect Naruto could be the catalyst that leads to the village’s destruction.
An important point is Momoshiki’s attitude toward these events. Although he has no personal grievances against Isshiki, his selfishness drives him toward actions for his own goals. Momoshiki wants Code to refrain from claiming the chakra fruit created by the Earth, as he needs it for his purposes. Therefore, he may be interested in Boruto and Kawaki defeating Jura and, indirectly, handling Code.
If Boruto and Kawaki find themselves in a critical situation while fighting Jura, Momoshiki would likely offer Boruto the use of his power. In this case, the return of Karma would be a logical step, in line with the principles of the anime and manga, as it would allow Boruto to fight a more powerful enemy. However, if Momoshiki wants to control Boruto, he must do so by affecting his morality. He can absorb Boruto through manipulation, forcing him to make darker and more destructive decisions.
If Boruto defeats Jura and destroys Konoha, Momoshiki will have the opportunity to implement his plan, turning Boruto into a villain. This will confirm everyone’s suspicions, especially Kawaki’s.
Why hasn’t Momoshiki appeared yet? Because he is fully connected to Boruto and knows everything that Boruto knows. He hears and sees the same things as Boruto. This means that Momoshiki knows all possible future scenarios and their plans with Kashin Koji. He is preparing for his appearance and the implementation of his new plan.
However, if Boruto and Kawaki become permanent allies, Momoshiki’s influence will be weakened, and his plans to capture Boruto will be complicated.
As for Code, his involvement in destroying the village is not unlikely. He is still significantly weaker than Boruto and Kawaki, and his clone army is depleted. But all of this could change if Code has a trump card. Moreover, Jura is no longer on his side, which lowers his chances of success and increases the likelihood that Code will begin acting independently.
The key question remains: what could motivate Boruto or Kawaki to destroy Konoha? One possible explanation is the battle with Jura, where Boruto may be forced to use Karma at full power, which could lead to unpredictable behaviour. Jura and Code strive to create the God Tree, while Code dreams of the chakra fruit that will allow him to bring back Isshiki.
These plans could significantly alter the course of events, putting Boruto and Kawaki in a position where their decisions will affect the village’s future. Overall, the theory that Boruto will destroy Konoha seems logical, but it has several contradictions.
Boruto has repeatedly cautioned using Karma, fearing that Momoshiki will take over his body. Why would he decide to use Karma in a battle with Kawaki if he had previously avoided it? This remains a mystery, as using Karma with such a risk could make Boruto vulnerable. Even if Boruto regains control of his body after destroying Konoha, it could weaken him morally, affecting his position in the fight with Kawaki.
The presence of this moment is the least logical. The story’s beginning is often perceived with a certain degree of leniency. Even if it seems cliché or stereotypical, the story would not have developed in the same way if the initial events had not occurred. Therefore, such moments are usually forgiven, and Boruto is no exception.
There was one huge mistake that devalued many plotlines. The first scene of the manga destroyed the foundation of the entire plot and the intrigue, which was catastrophic for the entire story.
This is an important point that needs to be discussed. Let’s start with what makes a good flashforward. It’s an excerpt that shows the future, essentially the opposite of a flashback.
We don’t need to look far for examples to understand how it works. In Naruto Shippuden, there is a great flashback in which Naruto and his team find Sasuke at Orochimaru’s hideout. That’s an excellent example.
Why did the flashback in Boruto fail? Both examples capture the viewer’s attention, creating a desire to know what happens next. In Shippuden, the intrigue centers around the long-absent Sasuke, while in Boruto, it revolves around the destroyed village and dramatic dialogue with important plot phrases. These moments create intrigue and attract attention, but the problem arises later.
In Naruto, the flashforward became part of the story after one and a half arcs, while in Boruto, after eight years, we still haven’t seen the resolution of this flashforward, despite much more having happened than in the first two arcs of Shippuden.
The presence of a flashforward always implies a specific outcome. In Naruto, we knew that Naruto would find Sasuke, and in Boruto, we are sure that Kawaki and Boruto would fight in the Hokage village. This imposes limitations on how the plot is perceived. We already know that the main characters are safe until that moment occurs.
This leads to many plot events becoming predictable or even absurd. For example, in Chapter 47, when Kawaki loses Karma, we know that he will get it back, and there is no doubt about it. In Chapter 66, when Boruto supposedly “dies,” even though it sounds dramatic, the intrigue is lost because we know he will survive.
The first thought after reading is, “Well, of course, he’ll come back.” This absurd feeling arises when a scene advertised as necessary doesn’t evoke emotions because its resolution is already predicted.
This flashforward makes Boruto, Kawaki, and even Karma utterly invulnerable to the plot. As a result, reading the story becomes uninteresting when its central moments are already revealed in the beginning. It’s as if, in the first chapter of Naruto, we had seen the beginning of the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke. It wouldn’t be exciting at all.
Criticism enthusiasts may offer possible solutions, but it seems much more logical to have postponed the flashforward until the beginning of the second part of the manga. This would have prevented the first chapters from becoming null and avoided the predictability of future events.
Introducing the flashforward right at the start is a grave mistake, especially considering that Kishimoto proposed the idea. A much more logical option would have been to place the flashforward in the first chapter of the second part, which wouldn’t have spoiled the story. Such a decision would have made the narrative more vibrant and unpredictable without devaluing the first 80 chapters. We could have cared about the characters without knowing they would survive all the challenges.
Now, let’s return to the events of Konoha’s destruction. A more likely culprit for the destruction of Konoha is Kawaki. This character has already shown his impulsiveness and tendency toward aggressive actions, especially when protecting Naruto. Despite Shikamaru’s strict orders, his interaction with Jura could provoke a provocation.
Kawaki is not used to obeying and always acts according to his motives, especially if he feels threatened or uncertain. If Jura is somehow connected to Jigen or Isshiki, it will provide Kawaki with additional motivation for revenge. After Amado enhances Kawaki, he will become more confident in his abilities and may attack Jura in Konoha, likely leading to the destruction of the village.
Even if Kawaki defeats Jura, he will still be guilty of the destruction, as his actions will be the cause. This moment echoes a previous event when Kawaki accidentally compromised Himawari’s safety. At that time, he realized that the importance of hard work and effort outweighs raw power, which played a significant role in his development.
An interesting twist in the events is the hypothesis that the destruction of Konoha is not directly linked to Boruto or Kawaki’s actions but is the result of Shibai’s intervention. This figure remains mysterious, but her divine power makes her a formidable opponent. The battle between Boruto and Kawaki may become the climax of the entire manga, reminiscent of Naruto and Sasuke’s final battle.
A fight with Shibai could explain why Boruto and Kawaki appear damaged before the battle. This fight will be so intense that they won’t be able to prevent Konoha’s destruction. If Shibai is connected to Boruto through Karma or the Jogan, Kawaki might see Boruto as a threat, as he is linked to one of the most potent Ōtsutsuki.
This also explains why, two years ago, Boruto felt as though Karma was consuming him—perhaps it wasn’t Momoshiki’s power, but instead Shibai’s power, which Boruto couldn’t control. Presumably, Shibai is trying to take control of Boruto’s body, much like it happened with Borushiki.
If Shibai is defeated, Boruto can use his Karma powers without fear of Momoshiki. This explains why, even if his actions indirectly lead to the destruction of Konoha, Boruto still uses his powers to defeat Kawaki after Amado’s restrictions are lifted.
This twist could become significant in his development, echoing the climax of Naruto’s story despite Ikimoto’s attempts to separate Boruto from Naruto. Read Boruto’s latest development online.
