Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 has officially been released, and while some fans anticipated high-octane action, this chapter unfolded at a more measured pace. This slower tempo contrasts sharply with the intense battles that defined the chapters leading into this latest installment, yet it holds the promise of deeper story development and strategic setups.
While anticipation builds for the next chapter, TBV Chapter 18 is likely to escalate the stakes with significant combat scenarios, despite the slow burn of Chapter 17.
Shikamaru’s Master Plan in Boruto: TBV Chapter 17
Central to this chapter was Shikamaru’s innovative approach to defeating the Shinju. In previous episodes of Boruto, the village of Konoha had set Team 7 on a daunting mission to combat the Shinju, who pose a formidable threat, particularly to Gaara. It was clear that direct confrontation with the Shinju could easily spell disaster for Konoha’s shinobi forces.
However, Shikamaru’s ingenious strategy involves getting close enough to befriend the Shinju, whom he perceives as entities not inherently malevolent but rather akin to vulnerable children. He believes they are at a crossroads where their moral choices are still being formed.
Get close to them. And then, betray them! – Shikamaru
Shikamaru instructs Konohamaru to cultivate a friendship with the Shinju, gaining their trust before ultimately turning against them. This unexpected twist could potentially position them for success in battle. Though implementing this plan comes with inherent risks, it heightens the narrative tension as fans ponder whether Konohamaru and Team 7 can effectively execute Shikamaru’s vision.
With Ryu now isolated due to their newfound trust in the Konoha ninja, the stage is set for a confrontation with Sarada, Mitsuki, Araya, and Yodo teaming up to take on Ryu. Shikamaru anticipates that once Ryu is subdued, the focus will shift to Matsuri, forming a two-phased approach to the impending battles. This intricate setup promises significant action in future chapters.
Konohamaru and Team 7 Take Action
Konohamaru Successfully Befriends the Shinju
Chapter 17 sees Team 7 fully engaged in their mission, making a strategic alliance with the Sand ninjas. Upon their arrival, they discover that the Shinju, surprisingly, do not exhibit hostility. This unexpected turn is attributed to the fact that the Shinju believe the ninja are unaware of their existence and share a common aim: to find Boruto.
Furthermore, the dynamics are complicated by Matsuri’s feelings for Konohamaru, implying she may be reluctant to harm him and Team 7 initially.
We’re looking for Boruto Uzumaki. And you? – Konohamaru
This chapter sets the groundwork for upcoming interactions, likely exploring how Konohamaru balances his mission’s demands with the moral implications of betrayal. With the successful separation of Ryu and Matsuri, Konohamaru has effectively executed the initial phase of Shikamaru’s strategy.
The next objective is to retrieve the Thorn Soul Bulb, which will allow them to free the imprisoned Shinki, effectively leading to Ryu’s defeat. The stakes are mounting, and anticipation for the ensuing battles runs high among readers.
Kawaki Makes His Move in TBV Chapter 17
It Is Time for Kawaki’s Full Power to Be Unleashed
This chapter also provides a significant insight into Kawaki. Following revelation about his powers being constrained by Amado, Kawaki confronts him, demanding the removal of his limitations. The audience witnesses the potential for immense power to be unleashed, raising questions about future consequences.
Remove all my limiters. Right now. – Kawaki
Although it’s clear Amado will not acquiesce without negotiating terms, fans eagerly await the ramifications of this confrontation. Will Kawaki’s newly unleashed power lead to a catastrophic clash with Jura, or can it be managed? The answers are set to unfold in upcoming chapters.
Boruto is available for readers via Viz Media and can be accessed for free through Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The next chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18, is slated for release on January 20, 2025.
