At first, everyone assumed he was going after Boruto, since he 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 may be planning something more strategic. This is because, despite his talk about defeating Boruto, the character has shown a specific curiosity about human weaknesses, especially those related to emotions. And at this point, Sarada may be the key player in the plot.
Jura's reasoning and the role of emotions in the war against humans
In previous chapters, Jura expressed his thoughts on 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 to have no direct effect on the Trees, the latter proved to be a real risk. Proof of this was Matsuri's behavior, visibly altered by human emotions when she was with Konohamaru.
From this 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 to Boruto and can be used as an instrument of pressure.
Why Sarada would be the ideal target for Jura right now
Jura's plan seems less about force and more about emotional strategy. He knows Boruto cares deeply for Sarada, and that this bond could become a weakness. Knowing this, Jura may have chosen to travel to Sarada's location, even if it means getting out of Boruto's immediate path. The young Uchiha is unconscious and protected only by Mitsuki and Araya, making her a vulnerable target.
Furthermore, Sarada poses 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 the fight now could mean a more comfortable 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 also damaging Boruto psychologically.
The implications of this plan for the next chapters of the manga
If the theory is confirmed, and Jura truly 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: whether to fight rationally or give in to anger and despair. This choice could 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 experience 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 main cast's emotional and psychological development, something many readers have been craving since the manga's transition to the Two Blue Vortex phase.
Chapter 22 will be released in Japan on May 21, 2025, at 12:00 PM JST. However, for most Western countries, the release will be slightly earlier: on Tuesday, May 20. Brazilian readers will be able to access chapter 22 officially through VIZ Media and MANGA Plus. Both offer the first three and last three chapters for free.
