Initially, everyone assumed he was going after Boruto, since that was the declared enemy. But a careful rereading of the latest chapters and the villain's behavior may indicate a different target: Sarada Uchiha.
Keen-eyed fans have noticed signs that Jura might be planning something more strategic. This is because, despite his talk about defeating Boruto, the character has shown specific curiosity about human weaknesses, especially those related to emotion. And in this respect, Sarada could be the key piece of the plot.
Jura's reasoning and the role of emotions in the war against humans
Throughout the previous chapters, Jura expounded on his reflections regarding the dangers of the intelligence acquired by the Divine Trees. In his view, two main flaws accompany this process: logical reasoning and love. While the former seemed not to directly affect the Trees, the latter proved to be a real risk. Proof of this was Matsuri's behavior, visibly altered by human emotions alongside Konohamaru.
From that point on, Jura began to observe Matsuri more closely. He seemed interested in understanding how feelings like love and empathy could affect beings originally created to destroy. This suggests that, beyond his brute strength, Jura is searching 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 tool of pressure.
Why would Sarada be the ideal target for Jura at this moment?
Jura's plan seems increasingly less about strength and more about emotional strategy. He knows that Boruto cares deeply for Sarada, and that this bond could become a weakness. Knowing this, Jura may have chosen to travel to where Sarada is, even if it means getting out of Boruto's immediate way. The young Uchiha is unconscious and being protected only by Mitsuki and Araya, which makes her a vulnerable target.
Furthermore, Sarada represents a direct threat. Her Mangekyo Sharingan has revealed a powerful ability, the Ohirume, which has already proven effective against Ryu. For Jura, taking her out of combat now could mean an easier victory in the future. Thus, the possibility of him wanting to kidnap her is not only plausible but logical. This would allow him to neutralize a threat while simultaneously harming Boruto psychologically.
The implications of this plan for the next chapters of the manga
If the theory is confirmed, and Jura really decides to capture Sarada, the narrative impact will be profound. Boruto will not only face a powerful enemy, but will also have to deal with an emotional dilemma: fight with reason or succumb to anger and despair. This choice may be the protagonist's true test, even more so than any physical combat.
Furthermore, Sarada's kidnapping could accelerate the development of the other characters. Mitsuki, for example, may face an internal conflict between reason and his own feelings, while characters like Kawaki may be forced to intervene. This creates a rich opportunity for the emotional and psychological development of the main cast, something many readers have desired since the manga transitioned to the Two Blue Vortex arc.
Chapter 22 will be released in Japan on May 21, 2025, at 12 PM (JST). However, for most Western countries, the release will happen a little earlier: on Tuesday, May 20. Brazilian readers will be able to access chapter 22 officially through the VIZ Media and MANGA Plus platforms. Both offer the first three and the last three chapters for free.
