by

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

The action in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is really heating up as the fight against the Shinju continues. The last story arc featured an amazing battle between Sarada Uchiha and Ryu, followed by the tragic death of Matsuri after a fight with Konohamaru Sarutobi, ultimately finished by Boruto Uzumaki. Although two of the Shinju have been defeated, three incredibly powerful ones are still out there, posing a huge threat to Boruto and his friends.

Chapter 27 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex revealed a significant future event: the death of Himawari Uzumaki. Kashin Koji foresaw this tragic outcome, believing Himawari will die, potentially by the Shinju. The details surrounding her death are still unclear, but it appears to involve a character named Jura. In response to this loss, Inojin Yamanaka, who has feelings for Himawari, will create a new Jutsu to seek revenge. However, the current storyline focuses on changing this grim future, suggesting that Himawari may ultimately survive as the timeline is altered.

Kashin Koji’s Future Confirms Himawari’s Death

  • Inojin developed a jutsu to avenge her
  • Koji’s prescience is a precious weapon

In a surprising turn of events revealed in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 27, it’s been confirmed that Himawari Uzumaki dies in one of the story’s main timelines. It appears she is killed by the Shinju, currently the series’ primary villains, during an attack on Konoha led by Jura. Kashin Koji foresaw this tragic future using a special ability and is now working to prevent it from happening.

Koji Kashin believes that Himawari’s injury had a significant impact on Inojin Yamanaka, motivating him to create a new, powerful technique to help. This technique is a more advanced version of the Mind-Body Transfer, and fans are eager to see exactly what Inojin has developed.

It’s important to understand that Kashin Koji has foreseen a future where Himawari Uzumaki dies. Considering how incredibly difficult the Shinju are to defeat – Koji even said the odds of beating Jura are one in a million – it’s likely that most possible futures end with the death of a shinobi, however hard that is to believe.

However, these potential outcomes aren’t set in stone. They can be prevented by making significant changes now, or by acting before they happen. That’s precisely the approach Koji and Boruto’s team are taking at this moment.

Inojin and Boruto Will Change The Future To Save Himawari

Himawari Will Grow Stronger

Inojin Yamanaka will be responsible for protecting Himawari Uzumaki, mirroring how she saved his life previously. The current storyline ensures Himawari won’t die, as characters are working hard to create a better future. While characters will inevitably face death in Boruto, Himawari’s importance means she’s highly unlikely to be among them.
