Boruto: Two Blue Vortex reached one of the most electrifying moments in the plot, as Boruto Uzumaki faces Jura in a battle that surprised everyone with its speed. First, it's important to remember that Boruto is now being called "Boruto Otsutsuki" and no longer Uzumaki . This highlights his transformation, as he now possesses the pure essence of an Otsutsuki, something that makes him similar to Kawaki.
However, the big question is: why does Jura want to capture Naruto?
The origin of Jura and the Shinju clones
The Shinju Clones appeared early in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. They evolved from the Claw Grimes, creations of Code, who used his mark to generate humanoid soldiers with Rinnegan abilities. These beings devoured people, transforming them into small divine trees and, subsequently, into Shinju Clones — conscious versions with traces of the chakra of the absorbed individual.
However, Jura is an exception: he did not emerge from the absorption of a shinobi, but rather from the remnants of the Ten-Tails itself. Thus, he represents the most evolved and dangerous form among all the Shinju Clones, in addition to leading them.
Why does Jura want Naruto and Himawari?
Each Shinju Clone pursues targets related to its "model." For example, Hidari seeks Sarada because it absorbed Sasuke. Following this logic, Jura, with the essence of a Tailed Beast, would naturally be after Naruto, who has possessed the chakra of the Beasts since the Fourth Great Ninja War.
However, unexpectedly, Jura realized that Himawari Uzumaki is the current jinchūriki of Kurama. Thus, his immediate focus turned to her. Even though Naruto is sealed by Kawaki, his connection to the Tailed Beasts makes him a desirable target for Jura.
Furthermore, the Shinju Clones are self-aware, but they don't fully understand their origin. Therefore, they believe that consuming their targets might bring answers.
