This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

Fans are loving Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and the latest story arc has taken the excitement to a whole new level! With the Shinju now attacking Konoha, it’s a chance for Boruto and his friends to really step up and show what they can do.

With everything happening in Konoha right now, the creator of Naruto, Kishimoto, seems to be setting the stage for the return of a fan-favorite character: Kurama. As fans will recall, Kurama is currently connected to Himawari. We saw a quick appearance of him during the fight with Jura, but he was quickly removed. The new Boruto storyline might finally give us a real look at what Kurama can do.

Kishimoto Will Bring Back Kurama In Action After 4 Years

The current storyline in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex centers around the character Mamushi. He’s a remarkably strong being called a Shinju, with the unique power to split himself into countless copies without losing any of his strength or energy. However, there’s a catch: each time he divides, his intelligence decreases.

Despite this, people say his power is immense – strong enough to conquer the world, making him a huge danger. Meanwhile, Jura and Hidari are also planning something, a fact confirmed by Kashin Koji’s ability to see the future.

Fans are excited to learn that Himawari will play a significant role in the upcoming battles. This is especially important because a future vision showed her tragically dying, and Kurama will be crucial in preventing that fate. This means fans will finally see Kurama actively fighting – something he hasn’t done since his sacrifice against Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Kurama Will Fight Against The Shinju

Kurama and Himawari did team up briefly earlier in the story, but it was just a quick glimpse of Kurama’s abilities, and Himawari couldn’t fully control him at the time. They’ve trained together since then, and Kurama is now much stronger while inside Himawari.

Yours and mine synchronization is a lot higher than anyone else’s, Himawari. — Kurama to Himawari

Get ready to see Kurama unleash his full power in the upcoming fight against the Shinju in Konoha! He’s likely to confront Jura, who is targeting Himawari. After a five-year gap, we might see Kurama use familiar abilities like the Chakra Cloak and Tailed Beast Ball, and potentially even a technique reminiscent of Baryon Mode.

Kurama’s Power Will Be Greater Than Before

Kurama is already incredibly powerful, but fans anticipate his strength will increase significantly. This is because he’s evolved beyond simply being a creature contained within a host. Similar to how Jura embodies the Ten Tails, Himawari shares a comparable connection with Kurama. This unified connection allows them to utilize chakra with exceptional efficiency, functioning as a single, powerful being.

As Himawari grows older, the enhanced powers she inherits from Kurama will make her a formidable opponent, even against extremely strong enemies – significantly boosting her potential. She might even be able to master Baryon Mode more effectively than Naruto, and without the same life-threatening risks, as long as she doesn’t overuse it.

The new Boruto: Two Blue Vortex arc will finally showcase Kurama’s abilities after a long wait, and fans will be excited to see him fight again.

The next chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 29, will be released on December 18, 2025, at 10 AM EST / 3 PM UTC. Fans can read it for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
