As the heat of the new storyline continues to build and significant battles loom ahead, things are shaping up to be even more thrilling in “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex” Chapter 18.

In the upcoming chapter 18 of Boruto: TBV, the spotlight is likely to shine on Konohamaru Sarutobi and Sarada Uchiha, as they are the principal characters in this storyline. Meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipate character growth for Ryu and Matsuri. Furthermore, the tense circumstances involving Kawaki and Amado loom large, with their resolution likely to significantly impact the Boruto series ahead.

The Plan To Beat The Shinju Is Finally Clear

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 Will See The Plan To Beat The Shinju Be Executed

In the last chapter of Boruto, it was shown that Shikamaru doesn’t intend to engage the Shinju in an open fight. Instead, he devised a plan and sent Team 7 on a mission against them. He is not expecting Team 7 to sacrifice themselves, but rather, he aims to trick the Shinju and attack when they least suspect it. In essence, Shikamaru wants Konohamaru and Team 7 to win the Shinju’s trust. These Shinju, as newborn beings, have no inherent good or evil nature, making them impressionable. Shikamaru plans to befriend them, gain their favor, and when the time is ripe, strike them down all at once. This strategy starkly contrasts Naruto’s philosophy. While Naruto might have chosen to either befriend the Shinju or fight them honestly, Shikamaru opts for a method that offers him the best chances of success. This underscores how distinct a leader Shikamaru is.

Betray them. That’s the plan. — Shikamaru Nara

In Chapter 18 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, we can expect a major focus on Konohamaru and Team 7, as they carry out their strategy post the splitting of the Shinju. The upcoming Boruto episode promises high-stakes action, with events thus far aligning with the combined strategies of Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas. However, things may not always go smoothly for our heroes. To ramp up the tension, it’s quite possible that the plan will encounter some setbacks, which could mark the beginning of significant battles. Fans eagerly anticipate that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 18 will deliver on these intense clashes.

Konohamaru’s Failure To Trick Matsuri

Konohamaru Sarutobi Wants to Trick Matsuri To Save Moegi

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 18, Konohamaru Sarutobi finds himself at a crucial juncture. Primarily, he’s abiding by the instructions handed down from Hokage Shikamaru. Yet, obeying Shikamaru could contradict Naruto’s very own principles, whom Konohamaru deeply admires and aspires to emulate. Konohamaru respects Naruto immensely because he carries on the Will of Fire passed down from Hiruzen Sarutobi, his ancestor. To choose a path of deceit would not only disregard the two individuals he cherishes and looks up to the most but also undermine his own deeply-held convictions.

Simultaneously, if Konohamaru fails to defeat Matsuri and obtain the Thorn Soul Bulb, it’s checkmate for Moegi, one of Konohamaru’s dearest allies. Presently, matters are intricate for Konohamaru, particularly when he realizes that the route provided by Shikamaru contradicts his beliefs but offers the best chances of success and, consequently, saving Moegi. The upcoming chapter 18 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex promises an engaging spectacle as we witness Konohamaru Sarutobi grapple with this conundrum.

Sarada’s Troubles With Ryu

In the same way that Konohamaru Sarutobi faces challenges in chapter 18 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it seems probable that Sarada Uchiha will encounter similar difficulties. In fact, her task may prove even more demanding due to her youth and heightened capacity for empathy compared to a seasoned shinobi like Konohamaru.

In Chapter 18 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it appears that Ryu has already built trust with Konoha Shinobi, and more significantly, he respects them all. This may lead to a difficult ethical dilemma for Sarada Uchiha and the others. If Sunagakure ninjas decide to act without regard for this trust, they might jeopardize the entire mission and incur Ryu’s wrath, potentially ruining the plan altogether.

Kawaki’s Full Power Returns

Amado Set To Remove Kawaki’s Limiters, But At A Price

In Chapter 18 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Kawaki is set to receive much-needed focus. Last time, he went to see Amado following Boruto’s revelation about his power suppression. It’s evident that Kawaki feels constrained by his own limitations and yearns for full access to his powers immediately. This is why he stands before Amado, urging him to lift the restrictions. Although it may seem like Kawaki holds the upper hand, remember that Amado is a cunning individual. He’s likely anticipated potential threats from Kawaki and placed limiters on him for safety reasons. As a result, expect some leverage held by Amado in this upcoming chapter. However, fans can also anticipate Amado eventually lifting the limiters, at a cost to Kawaki. This is sure to create an intriguing plotline moving forward.

I was expecting a visit from you anytime now. – Amado

Regarding the potential cost, it’s hard to predict with certainty. However, one thing is certain: Amado yearns for his daughter’s return and aims to persuade Kawaki into sealing Karma within Delta. It’s plausible that this could be his requirement, in which case, Kawaki would likely have no choice but to cooperate.

The future of the Boruto series is shaping up to be thrilling, and you can count on Ikemoto to provide a fantastic continuation. As the next chapter of Boruto approaches rapidly, it’s high time for fans to gear up for exhilarating battles and anticipate an even more remarkable plotline ahead.

You can easily access Boruto manga through Viz Media. Fans can officially and at no cost read it on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. Mark your calendars as the next chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 18, is due for release on January 20, 2025.
