This article contains spoilers from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 13.

In the world of Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki stands out as a central figure, with the Naruto franchise encompassing not only the original series but also Boruto. However, some fans have expressed dissatisfaction regarding how Naruto is portrayed in the Boruto series. Many are eager for his return, hoping to see him treated fairly and given the recognition that befits his character.

To date, Naruto has faced significant disrespect and his legacy has been challenged in the Boruto anime, leading some to question its validity. Yet, the creators of Boruto show no signs of ceasing their manipulation of Naruto’s legacy in the near future. A recent speculation in the series suggests that Naruto might possess a Shinju, though this remains a distant possibility for now.

In chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the storyline was nothing short of extraordinary, with a significant portion of this excitement stemming from the character Kashin Koji. Readers familiar with the series will recognize Koji as a former member of the organization Kara. Interestingly, Koji was crafted by Amado with the specific purpose of taking down Isshiki, and his design bears a striking resemblance to Jiraiya, a legendary character from the Naruto series who met his end in that same storyline. While Koji’s significance in the Boruto series has yet to fully unfold, the author is gradually revealing his true importance to fans, piece by piece. It’s become clear that Koji will play a pivotal role in Two Blue Vortex, and events set in motion by him can no longer be reversed.

In one of those possibilities, the Hokage was killed by Isshiki! – Koji

For instance, Koji was recently revealed to have the power of Prescience, which is a Shinjutsu. This ability also belonged to Shibai Otsutsuki, and, just like the vast majority of Kara, he was given a piece of his DNA as well. This led to the awakening of the Prescience ability in Koji moments before his potential death, and that is precisely what forced him to live. Koji saw the grim fate the world was going to face, and decided that he wanted to live after all. That is precisely why he escaped from Isshiki’s grasp, and then, he spent the remaining time studying the planet, and trying to save it.

In the 13th chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it’s revealed that Koji possesses a unique ability called Prescience. This power allows him to peer into the future for an extended span of time. In essence, he can glimpse years ahead and foresee various outcomes based on different circumstances. However, Koji pointed out that the future is not fixed; each action influences the course it takes.

As a long-time fan of the Naruto universe, I find myself intrigued by the latest developments regarding Kawaki and the potential connection to Naruto. The idea that Kawaki could be possessed by someone else and then go on to destroy a planet, consume a chakra fruit, and grow even stronger is quite unsettling. However, there’s also the possibility that this new Shinju could actually be Naruto himself. It’s an intriguing theory, one that plays upon the complexities of the characters in the series and their abilities.

Who Is The Mysterious Shinju In Boruto?

A New Shinju Has Emerged In Boruto’s Current Arc

In chapter 13 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, viewers were introduced to a Shinju in one of Koji’s visions. This particular Shinju was not born at the same time as previously seen, due to the fluidity of the future. Its birth never occurred at its scheduled time, leading to speculation that it was meant to be part of a group of five instead of four. Upon closer inspection, this Shinju bears a striking resemblance to Naruto Uzumaki, leading some to believe it might be Shinki. However, given Shinki’s minimal role in the storyline, it seems unlikely that they would play a significant part.

1. The patterns on this Shinju strongly resemble those seen when Naruto was in his Sage of Six Paths Sage Mode. This could mean that the Shinju is linked to Naruto, and perhaps in a timeline different from the one Koji escaped, Naruto too was absorbed by the God Tree.

Now then, what name shall we give you? – Jura

Having spent countless hours immersed in the world of shonen manga and anime, I can confidently say that the plot twists in Naruto are often mind-boggling yet fascinating. In my opinion, the survival of Naruto against Isshiki could have been achieved due to the ever-changing nature of the future. The fact that Code then split the Ten Tails into Claw Grimes and bit Naruto, transforming him into a Shinju, is an intriguing possibility that only heightens the excitement for fans. As someone who’s followed Naruto since its inception, I can’t wait to see how this story unfolds!

Capturing the Shinju of Naruto Uzumaki would be a formidable challenge for any adversary. Fans are well aware that Naruto is an extraordinarily powerful member of the Uzumaki clan, boasting an inexhaustible reservoir of chakra. Furthermore, as Jinchuriki, he was flawless, and possessed the power of the Six Paths. When you factor in his Rinnegan ability, it becomes evident that a Shinju of Naruto Uzumaki would be virtually indomitable. While it’s uncertain whether this Shinju will manifest at some future point, fans are certain that the potential for its appearance is real.

Could Naruto Have His Own Shinju?

In the thirteenth chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, viewers were introduced to a fresh Shinju. This Thorn Soul Bulb sprouted from the God Tree within the chapter, and someone appeared from it. Unfortunately, neither their face nor an outline was visible, nor was their name mentioned. Speculation among fans is rife as to who this newly-emerged Shinju might be. One of the most popular theories suggests that this Shinju could be the same one glimpsed in Kashin Koji’s vision. If true, this would mean the Shinju could be linked to Naruto Uzumaki. This revelation is quite enticing since fans are aware that Naruto Uzumaki is currently confined within the dimension of Daikokuten.

In simple terms, unless someone enters a dimension where time stands still and transforms Naruto Uzumaki into a God Tree, this event is highly unlikely. However, there exists a possibility that the Shinju within Naruto could be linked to Jura, a character whose background is shrouded in mystery. Many fans speculate about Jura’s true identity. It’s known that the abilities of a parent body and its Shinju are interconnected. If Jura has access to Daikokuten, he might have sent beings called Grimes to traverse dimensions, which could have led to Naruto becoming a God Tree. In this scenario, the tree would then produce a new Shinju, potentially connected to Jura.

Absolutely, introducing Naruto’s Sage of Six Paths (Shinju) into the plot could lead to some captivating conflicts. For instance, Boruto and Kawaki might find themselves in a tough predicament when confronting him. Furthermore, readers would undeniably enjoy witnessing the Hokage’s replica playing a significant role in the narrative.

As a dedicated fan of Naruto and its sequel series Boruto, I am excited to share some news that will undoubtedly delight fellow enthusiasts like myself. For those who haven’t heard yet, Boruto is now available for reading through Viz Media! This means fans can officially and without cost access the series on both Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. It’s an incredible opportunity to keep up with the latest adventures of our favorite ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village.
