The sequel to Masashi Kishimoto’s highly acclaimed manga series Naruto has come a long way. After seven years, the first part of Boruto concluded, and the second part, titled Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, began releasing.
Two Blue Vortex takes place after a four-year time skip, and Boruto is now 16 years old. Boruto: Naruto Next Generation ended with Eida using her Omnipotence to essentially brainwash everyone into thinking that Kawaki was Boruto, and vice versa. With this done, Kawaki declared that Boruto had killed Naruto, causing Sasuke and Boruto to go on the run together. Naruto, however, is still alive, but trapped in the dimension of Daikokuten with Hinata. Seven chapters of the manga have successfully won us over, but there’s still so much more to come.
