According to leaked spoilers for chapter 23 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto may have surprised even Kashin Koji's Prescience Shinjutsu by defying his death prediction and changing the fate of the battle against Jura.
Even with warnings about his imminent end, leaks indicate that Boruto has devised a plan beyond Koji's reach, which could cement him as the true strategist of the new ninja generation.
Koji's prediction pointed to Boruto's death in the Land of Wind
According to spoilers released by reliable insiders, Kashin Koji instructed Boruto not to participate in the mission to the Land of Wind. According to him, all the predictions made by his Prescience Shinjutsu indicated that if Boruto engaged Jura in combat, the result would be his certain death.
Therefore, Jiraiya's clone reportedly asked Boruto to remain safe while the other shinobi operated in the field. Koji wanted to protect the protagonist from a tragic fate that, apparently, he could not avoid.
Boruto ignores the prediction and takes unexpected action
According to the leaks, Boruto begins to suspect that Koji isn't being completely transparent about the mission. Thus, fearing that Konohamaru might be killed and suspecting dangerous omissions, he decides to act independently and teleports to the location of the fight against Jura.
This decision marks a turning point in the narrative. Even aware of the predictions, Boruto trusts his own judgment and bets he can change the course of events with an unexpected strategy, something no prediction could have anticipated.
The fight against Jura and the change in Koji's vision
Jura then appears and, as predicted, dominates the fight. Boruto appears to be cornered, and everything indicates that the prophecy will come true. However, spoilers indicate that Koji's Prescience Shinjutsu was updated in real time.
To his surprise, a new timeline appears, indicating that Boruto had done something beyond the reach of his foresight. This suggests that, for the first time, the protagonist has managed to circumvent a seemingly unchangeable fate.
Secret plan with Kawaki would have been the key to the turnaround
Part of what Koji allegedly overlooked involves a strategic conversation between Boruto and Kawaki. Before the mission, Boruto allegedly suggested that Kawaki confront Amado to gain offensive improvements, which he does.
Just as Jura is about to kill Boruto, Kawaki appears to save him. With newly acquired skills, he enters the fray as a crucial reinforcement. This action, if confirmed in the full chapter, would indicate that Boruto has engineered a counteroffensive that not even advanced prediction techniques could detect.
Delta and the movement of allies in Boruto's plan
Spoilers also indicate that Boruto instructed Konohamaru to gather the shinobi at a specific point. Initially, this order seemed confusing, but later revealed itself to be part of a coordinated action: Delta was called to rescue Team 7 at that exact location.
This level of silent planning reinforces the idea that Boruto, more than a fighter, acts as a strategist. He anticipates moves, reorganizes allies, and executes parallel actions that even his allies don't notice until the decisive moment.
Boruto may have taken on the role of strategist in the new phase
If spoilers are confirmed with the official release of Chapter 23, Boruto will demonstrate unprecedented mastery of strategy and tactical maneuvering. Deviating from a supposedly fixed future and surprising even Koji, he takes on a new role in the plot.
Little by little, the protagonist moves beyond being simply Naruto's heir and positions himself as the brains of the resistance against the Tree Gods. With intelligence, improvisation, and boldness, Boruto reveals himself to be a character who transcends the label of successor to establish himself as a central figure in the coming war.
