Boruto Chapter 21: Two Blue Vortex marks a dramatic turn on the plot. The story will put Sarada Uchiha as protagonist of an intense battle against Ryu, the human god-god. Armed with her newly designed Mangkyo Sharingan, the young Ninja plays a central role in the fight, revealing unpublished powers and facing profound personal issues.
Revelation not only changes the course of battle, but also adds new layers to the Emotional Journey of Sarada. Thus, she will need to deal with losses, responsibilities and her desire to become Hokage.
The Awakening of Mangekyo Sharingan and the weight of the decision
The chapter begins with flashbacks that show the emotional state of Sarada before the fight. In conversations with Chocho, Sumire, Boruto and Naruto, she expresses her determination to protect the village of Folha above all, even not considering a wondering like her father or the seventh Hokage. This sense of responsibility is what shapes your choice to act without hesitation on the battlefield.
The narrative also rescues the moment when Eida distorted reality using omnipotence shinjutsu, exchanging the social positions of Boruto and Kawaki. Sarada, one of the few that maintained the awareness of the truth, confronts Sasuke and convinces him of Boruto's innocence. Sasuke's confirmation comes from the fact that his daughter has aroused the Mangekyo Sharingan, a skill that, according to him, only manifests itself through extreme mental trauma. Thus, indicating that something deeply disturbing happened.
The confrontation with Ryu and the debut of the technique “Oohirume”
With activated dojutsu, Sarada returns to the present and faces Ryu. Even without full mastery of her new skills, she demonstrates instinctive control by invoking gravitational black spheres that limit the enemy's movements. The battle intensifies when Mitsuki realizes that these spheres affect the environment, creating gravitational pressure that prevents Ryu from reacting effectively.
In this scenario, Sarada reveals, through an internal monologue, her doubts about herself and how weak her feelings make her weak. However, she understands that accepting her emotions is part of the growth process. An epiphany that gives him the strength to launch his special technique, "Oohirume". The skill, a direct result of his Mangekyo Sharingan, defeat Ryu definitively, but charges a price: Sarada faints, his eyes bleeding due to excessive chakra use.
Sacrifices and consequences: Yodo's death and Boruto's reaction
While Eida confirms Ryu's fall, Kashin Koji notes that the Awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan was the true goal of the mission, although it cost Yodo's life. This loss, according to him, was essential for Sarada to reach her new level of power. For Boruto, however, the justification is not enough. He questions Koji if there would be another way to achieve the same result without sacrifices, but only receives silence as an answer.
Taken by the anger to learn that Koji predicted Yodo's death and did nothing, Boruto demands to know if Konohamaru is safe. Without gaining a concrete response, he immediately transports himself to the place of confrontation with the technique of the flying god of thunder. There, he finds Matsuri, whom he quickly eliminates, revealing that there is no more room for hesitation in the face of so many losses.
Meanwhile, Koji is concerned about Boruto and Jura's impulsive actions, observing everything through his connection with Matsuri, detects the presence of Boruto Otsutsuki, suggesting that the plot still has a lot to reveal.
Sarada in the center of the future of Konoha
Boruto's chapter 21: Two Blue Vortex delivers an intense narrative, loaded with emotions, placing healed at a decisive turn to the future of the story. By awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan and defeating a powerful enemy like Ryu, she demonstrates not only brute strength but also emotional evolution - something vital to someone who aims to become Hokage.
The loss of yodo, the conflict with Boruto, and the doubt about the methods employed in the war leaves scars that should be explored in the next chapters. In the end, what is at stake goes beyond battles: it is the legacy that each character is willing to leave to protect what matters most.
