At first everyone imagined that he was going after Boruto, as this was the declared enemy. But a careful rereading of the villain's last chapters and behaviors may indicate a different target: Sarada Uchiha.
Attentive fans have realized signs that Jura may be planning something more strategic. This is because, despite his speech about defeating Boruto, the character showed specific curiosity about the weaknesses of humans, especially those linked to emotion. And at this point, Sarada can be the key piece of the plot.
The reasoning of Jura and the role of emotions in the war against humans
During the previous chapters, he swears he exposed his reflections on the dangers of intelligence acquired by the divine trees. In his view, two main flaws follow this process: logical reasoning and love. While the former did not seem to affect the trees directly, the second was a real risk. Proof of this was Matsuri's behavior, visibly altered by human emotions alongside Konohamaru.
From this point, Jura began to observe Matsuri more carefully. He seemed interested in understanding how feelings such as love and empathy could affect beings originally created to destroy. This suggests that, in addition to its brute force, Jura is looking for subtle ways to manipulate or destabilize his opponents. Sarada, in this context, represents a direct emotional link with Boruto and can be used as a pressure instrument.
Why Sarada would be the ideal target for Jura at this time
Jura's plan seems less and less for strength and more about emotional strategy. He knows that Boruto cares deeply about healed, and that this bond can become a weakness. Knowing this, Jura may have chosen to move to where he is healed, even if it implies out of Boruto's immediate path. The young Uchiha is unconscious and being protected only by Mitsuki and Araya, which makes her a vulnerable target.
In addition, Sarada represents a direct threat. His Mangekyo Sharingan revealed a powerful ability, the Ohirume, which has shown to be effective against Ryu. For Jura, leaving it out of combat can now mean a quieter victory in the future. Thus, the possibility that he wants to sequest it is not only plausible, but logical. This would allow you to neutralize a threat while at the same time reaching Boruto psychologically.
The implications of this plan for the next manga chapters
If the theory is confirmed, and swears to really decide to capture Sarada, the narrative impact will be deep. Boruto will not only face a powerful enemy, but will have to deal with an emotional dilemma, fight reason or give in to anger and despair. This choice can be the true test of the protagonist, even more than any physical combat.
In addition, the sequestration of Sarada can accelerate the evolution of the other characters. Mitsuki, for example, can go into internal conflict between reason and their own feelings, while characters like Kawaki can be forced to intervene. This creates a rich opportunity for the emotional and psychological development of the main cast, something that many readers want from the turn of the manga to the Two Blue Vortex phase.
Chapter 22 will be launched in Japan on May 21, 2025, at 12h (JST time). However, for most western countries, the launch will take place shortly before: on Tuesday, May 20. Brazilian readers will be able to access chapter 22 officially by Viz Media and Manga Plus platforms. Both offer the first three and the last three chapters for free.
