Boruto: The Shinju Attack On Sunagakure, Explained

As a die-hard fan of Naruto and Boruto, I must admit that I was initially disappointed to learn about Matsuri’s off-screen defeat. However, the emergence of a new Shinju named Ryu has certainly piqued my interest! Given my extensive knowledge of the Naruto universe, it didn’t take me long to figure out that this character is none other than Shinki, hailing from Sunagakure.


This article contains spoilers from Boruto: TBV Chapter 14.

Key Takeaways

  • Gaara and Shinki were defeated by the powerful Shinju in Sunagakure.
  • Matsuri targeted Gaara and Shinki in a high-level battle.
  • A new Shinju, named Ryu, emerges with potential powers from Sunagakure characters.

In chapter 14 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, some astonishing details about the Shinju have surfaced, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. It’s clear that the narrative is becoming increasingly captivating as we delve deeper into this story. For those familiar with the series, you’ll know that the Shinju are the main adversaries, and they present a danger unprecedented in the Naruto universe.

Unity is crucial among Boruto and his companions as they confront this menace, vanquishing each foe to protect our world. So far, the Shinju’s actions have merely scratched the surface, implying that things will only grow darker for the shinobi race due to them. Previously, their assaults were confined to Konoha, but now, they are expanding their search for targets beyond Konoha, and unfortunately, Sunagakure is among those now under threat.

How The Shinju Attacked Sunagakure In Boruto

  • Shinju Reached Konoha
  • Gaara and Shinki Are Down

It seems Sunagakure has been attacked in the Boruto manga. Fans recall that Hidari and Jura relocated to Konoha, their intention being to locate Kurama. However, Jura found himself following clues that led him not to Naruto Uzumaki as expected, but to Himawari instead. This was quite unexpected for him, and he even checked her powers. It can be inferred that Jura’s objective of capturing the Nine Tails and defeating Himawari permanently was unsuccessful. Additionally, it is important to note that had it not been for Mamushi’s intervention, Jura could have caused significant destruction in Konoha, likely eradicating every character there effortlessly.

Simultaneously, fans understand that Hidari traveled with him to Konoha. His objective was Sarada, and indeed, they crossed paths in a fight. Yet again, Hidari came out on top. However, Boruto intervened to save her, and ultimately did his best to subdue Hidari. His Thorn Soul Bulb was taken back to its original hideout, where it was reborn.

As Jura and Hidari were engaged in some action, it seems Matsuri pursued her own objectives. It appears she assaulted Sunagakure, with Gaara and Shinki being the primary targets. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 14, we learn that Gaara suffered defeat and probably injuries. Meanwhile, Shinki lost the battle and was transformed into a God Tree, strongly suggesting he is the basis for the new Shinju.

Gaara And Shinki’s Fall In The Sunagakure Battle

Gaara Was Defeated By The Shinju Recently In Boruto

In Sunagakure, an incredibly high-level battle likely took place between Matsuri and Gaara. Given that Gaara is string, he likely held out. But, eventually, he was defeated. Given that Shinki is Gaara’s very own son, he likely wanted to aid his father, and at the same time, protect his village. He likely joined in on this battle as well.

Unfortunately, Shinki suffered a defeat too, which led Matsuri to select him as the host for a new Thorn Soul Bulb. The specifics of how this came about remain unknown since they weren’t shown in the chapter. Fans can only speculate because these events transpired off-screen, and many would have appreciated more involvement in the narrative. One criticism leveled at the Boruto series is that it primarily focuses on Konoha and its characters, leaving little room for other locations or protagonists to lead the story.

In the Naruto Shippuden series, viewers got an insight into Akatsuki when they attacked Sunagakure and witnessed their tactics to overcome Gaara. A comparable scenario could have been presented with Matsuri in this case, but unfortunately for the audience, the author chose a distinct approach, and these events unfolded off-screen.

In summary, Kankuro contacted Shikamaru to share updates on the ongoing situation – Gaara and Shinki had been overthrown. Notably, a new Shinju is emerging, which could potentially expand its influence and target other significant characters in the future, giving birth to even more powerful Shinju. This suggests that they are merely beginning their journey, with the newly born Shinju still developing their full potential. They are only a few days old at present, but as they grow older and gain combat skills, they will become increasingly powerful over time, chapter by chapter.

A New Shinju Named Ryu Emerges

Shinki’s Shinju Named Ryu Might Be One Of The Strongest

Boruto: The Shinju Attack On Sunagakure, Explained

Regarding the new entity known as Shinju in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 14 has officially identified it as Ryu. Although the character was hinted at in the previous manga installment, this latest chapter disclosed to fans that the name Ryu represents grain or particle. Due to its minimal background, fans quickly deduced that this figure hails from Sunagakure. The design itself suggests that the character is none other than Shinki, implying that the new Shinju might possess abilities related to Magnet Release, as well as those of the Ten Tails and Rinnegan.

From this point forward, things will undoubtedly become more thrilling, and it’s certain that the Shinju will stir up quite a commotion. Fans are well aware that these formidable creatures, as affirmed by Kashin Koji, possess immense power and could potentially bring about the world’s demise. Defeating them won’t be simple, no matter what strategies are employed. Now, the fate of everything relies heavily on Boruto Uzumaki and his companions. They must set aside their disagreements and unite if they hope to overcome these powerful adversaries.

Currently, it seems they haven’t found a task that they can complete yet. While Boruto may possess the strength to battle one of the Shinju, he is still significantly weaker compared to Jura. In fact, Jura might even surpass Isshiki in power. As confirmed in Boruto: TBV chapter 14, Jura is unique among the Shinju; he’s not based on any other being but is instead the embodiment of the Ten Tails itself. Much like the other Shinju, Jura continues to grow, and he has yet to fully unleash his power in the story. Despite this, he has already caused substantial damage. Jura believes that even with his powers restrained, he could kill Boruto, a testament to his potential strength. The full extent of his capabilities at full power remains to be seen as time unfolds.

You can access Boruto, the latest manga series, through Viz Media. Fans have the opportunity to read it officially and free of charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars for October 20, 2024, as that’s when the next chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 15, will be available.
