This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.

The manga “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” specifically focusing on the two blue vortex elements, is building up to some thrilling developments as we move forward. It appears that the narrative is about to get even more engaging in the coming months, with authors Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto setting the stage for an exciting future in the series. Although they’ve already crafted a captivating tale, what’s particularly intriguing is the teased potential for even more enticing plot points ahead.

It’s clear that fans believe one key area where the story could be strengthened is by incorporating more characters from Naruto into the main plot. Unfortunately, Boruto hasn’t managed to pull this off effectively so far. However, it looks like the author intends to rectify this by introducing a prominent ninja from the Naruto era into the narrative. This character has largely been absent from the main storyline, particularly in the manga, for some time now. Readers are eagerly anticipating his return, and the character I’m referring to is none other than the legendary Sixth Hokage of the village, Kakashi Hatake.

Boruto Will Bring Back The Sixth Hokage Kakashi Hatake

Ikemoto Has Teased Kakashi’s Return In The Past

  • Fans want Kakashi to come back to Boruto
  • Boruto will be more exciting with legends from Naruto

Boruto’s audience recognizes Kakashi Hatake, who holds the title of the Sixth Hokage in the village, as a crucial character throughout the entire narrative. In Naruto, he was instrumental and fans anticipated that he would have a larger role in the Boruto series too.

Boruto fans are well aware that Kakashi Hatake, who is the Sixth Hokage of the village, is one of the key characters in the whole storyline. In Naruto, he made a big impact, and fans hoped to see him play a more significant role in Boruto as well.

It seems there’s been an unexpected development, as Kakashi, a renowned ninja, hasn’t made an appearance in the Boruto series yet. However, the creator of the series, Mikio Ikemoto, has expressed his intentions to introduce this legendary character into Boruto soon. Here’s what Ikemoto shared about Kakashi’s anticipated return in the Boruto series:

Things have taken an unexpected turn with Kakashi, a well-known ninja, yet to make an appearance in the Boruto series. But fear not! The creator of the series, Mikio Ikemoto, plans to bring this celebrated character into Boruto soon. Here’s what Ikemoto had to say regarding Kakashi’s return in the Boruto storyline:

Are there any Naruto characters who haven’t shown up in Boruto as of now, that if given the opportunity, you’d enjoy designing in their mature or advanced form?

As for Ikemoto, it would reveal too much to discuss the matter directly. However, one might ponder over the intriguing fact that Kakashi-sensei, who is known for his popularity, seems to appear less frequently on screen. Quite a conundrum, isn’t it? Yet, unfortunately, I can’t provide any insights into this puzzle.

Without a doubt, Ikemoto’s storytelling has significantly shaped Kakashi Hatake’s character, and it seems this narrative thread has been gradually unfolding over the years, albeit at a measured pace. As a fan, I’m genuinely excited about Kakashi’s anticipated comeback, given that Naruto Uzumaki is currently sealed away, leaving quite a void in his absence.

How Kakashi’s Return Will Affect Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

New Life Will Be Breathed Into Boruto

Kakashi Hatake may not seem crucial to fans right now, but his importance in the storyline is imminent. This prediction comes directly from Ikemoto himself, and it’s evident that Kakashi’s presence will significantly enhance the series. In fact, Kakashi’s inclusion in Boruto is essential for one primary reason: to keep the story engaging. While Boruto has been thrilling lately, it needs a boost, particularly given that manga sales are on a decline.

At this pivotal moment, it would be ideal for the narrative to improve significantly, and introducing a beloved character like Kakashi Hatake could certainly boost the plot’s appeal. Given that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are temporarily absent, Kakashi’s return is particularly significant in rekindling interest among original story fans.

In just under nine years from now, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 26 will be available to read on September 20, 2025. This highly anticipated release is scheduled for 10 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Excited fans can enjoy this chapter legally and free of charge through the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps, as they have in the past.
