Summary

  • Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by Kawaki, publicly declared dead.
  • Naruto makes an appearance in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 21.
  • Naruto’s return isn’t imminent, likely sealed away until later in the story.

The anime, “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” maintains its high energy level as fans anxiously anticipate the narrative progression, particularly the long-awaited confrontation between Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki. Beyond this battle, though, what fans have been yearning for is the return of the original series’ protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, who has been absent for quite some time now.

In the series “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” Naruto was sent away near its conclusion, and since then, viewers have anxiously anticipated his return. Now, it appears that “Boruto” has offered fans another glimpse of Naruto Uzumaki through the Two Blue Vortex.

Naruto Uzumaki’s Fate In Two Blue Vortex

  • Naruto Uzumaki Was Sealed By Kawaki
  • Publicly, Naruto Was Declared Dead

From the onset of the story, fans were confident that Naruto Uzumaki would not meet his end at Boruto’s hands. Despite numerous indications suggesting his demise (often referred to as “death flags”), it gradually became evident that Naruto had to be written out of the narrative in some capacity. Fortunately, the author opted for a temporary exit rather than ending Naruto’s life in the story.

I will send you to the same place I sent the Seventh. — Kawaki to Boruto

Due to Kawaki’s selfless act, he chose to lock away Naruto for protection from those who meant him harm, including his own son, Boruto Uzumaki. With Eida’s omnipotent powers, Kawaki altered the world’s path after sealing away Naruto. As a result of this technique, Boruto was wrongly accused, while Kawaki gained recognition as Naruto’s son by everyone around them.

Naruto Uzumaki’s Importance To Sarada Is Highlighted

Fans are eagerly anticipating a more detailed glimpse of the character, Naruto Uzumaki, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. However, it’s clear that the Seventh Hokage won’t make a full comeback until later on in the narrative. It seems likely that even during a fight between Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki in Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki remains sealed away. This suggests that his return is not imminent at all.

Being Hokage means that all the people in the village are my family. — Naruto in TBV Chapter 21

In essence, Naruto doesn’t need to come back from Daikokuten to feature in the storyline. Instead, we saw Naruto Uzumaki appear in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 21. What made this moment particularly captivating was when Sarada Uchiha activated her Mangekyo Sharingan. This encounter served to underscore the significance of the position of Hokage and it was a thrilling experience for fans to revisit their beloved character once more. During this interaction, Naruto was not only imparting the responsibilities of being Hokage but also emphasizing his view of the entire village as his family.

When Will Naruto Uzumaki Be Free?

A Return Isn’t Imminent Right Now

In the 21st chapter of “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” Naruto Uzumaki briefly showed up, but fans understand that he’s not likely to rejoin the storyline anytime soon. It seems Naruto will remain sealed away until a later point in the narrative, when all Shinju matters have been resolved and Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki engage in a significant battle. Only then might we see Naruto Uzumaki again.

It remains undecided whether the narrative will progress following Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki’s fated battle, but should it do so, fans would be thrilled to witness Naruto Uzumaki re-entering the plot significantly. Regardless, it is ultimately up to the story’s author whether this occurs.

In a little over nine years, on May 20, 2025, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 22 will be available for viewing! The chapter will become accessible at 10 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Just like before, enthusiasts can read the chapter for free on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
