Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 20 rekindled the debate between fans about the role of Konohamaru Sarutobi in the new phase of the franchise. Matsuri almost devoured Konohamaru, but he escaped by launching a double attack from Rasengan. However, his destination remains undefined and seems to depend on an unexpected element: the answer to a question about Moegi.
The manga shows Matsuri interrupting the attack and questioning what Mogi represents to Konohamaru. The scene leaves the answer open, but shows that clone feeling is not just hostility.
She shows jealousy, irritation and emotional confusion, suggesting a conflict between her destructive instinct and an affective connection inherited from Kunoichi that served as a mold for her creation. The narrative choice of hiding the response intensifies the tension and throws clues about the emotional relevance of the moment.
Connection between Konohamaru and Matsuri can define the character's future in Boruto Two Blue Vortex
Created from the fusion between the powers of the ten tails and Moegi's genetic memory, Matsuri represents more than a physical threat. She carries human emotions, especially feelings for Konohamaru, her former teammate.
The sentimental bond between Konohamaru and Moegi arouses ambiguous reactions in Matsuri and causes the unstable behavior of the antagonist. The absence of a clear answer suggests that the character himself may not know for sure what he feels.
Fans speculate that he called her only one friend, which would have caused the clone's fury. Others believe that there was a confession of feelings, which would also have aroused extreme reactions in Matsuri.
Anyway, the loving and emotional dilemma intertwines with the threat to Konohamaru's life, creating an unusual impasse in stories of action: feeling as a factor of survival.
Return to the spotlight can rescue Konohamaru's prestige
Konohamaru's reintroduction as a central character in Boruto Two Blue Vortex marks an attempt by author Mikio Ikemoto to rescue a name dear to fans of the Naruto saga.
Although he assumed a relevant role at the beginning of the sequence as a mentor of the new team 7, the character lost space and became a target of criticism for his lack of impact on battles and plot. Now, with his survival depending on an intimate conflict with a divine tree clone, he returns to the center of the narrative.
This approach reinforces a tone change in history, which mixes action and more intense emotions. Boruto's plot expands his narrative possibilities by showing a villain who faces internal conflicts caused by inherited emotions. And in this context, Konohamaru gains the chance to grow not only as a combatant, but as a complex and emotionally relevant character.
Konohamaru's path can mirror recent losses in Boruto's universe
With the death of Sasuke Uchiha still recent in the plot, the possible loss of Konohamaru would have a new impact on the current arch. However, the manga's decision to keep the answer given to the question about Mogi in secret that the outcome is still open. Matsuri alternates between the impulse to destroy and the desire to understand what he feels, and imposes a threat that words, not jutsus, may resolve.
Konohamaru's future therefore depends on a fine line between reason and emotion, between what he feels and what he says. By hiding Konohamaru's answer, the manga suggests that she keeps not only the key to her survival, but also a turn on the plot.
