Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga continues apace, with the Hidden Leaf Village facing a terrifying new threat. The sentient God Trees have become a dangerous challenge, and the Konoha shinobi need effective strategies to deal with this situation.

Shikamaru hatches a daring plan: infiltrate Sunagakure and eliminate Ryū and Matsuri to retrieve the Thorn Soul Bulbs , artifacts essential to freeing Gaara, Shinki, and Moegi. However, these descendants of the Ōtsutsuki are ruthless and cunning, making any mistake a lethal risk.

Yodo's Fatal Error

While Konohamaru manipulates Matsuri , exploiting her feelings, Sarada and Mitsuki deal with Ryū in a more psychological manner. They feign a shared interest: capturing Boruto . Naive and questioning his own identity, Ryū reveals his Thorn Soul Bulb in a moment of vulnerability. However, Yodo rushes in, trying to steal it. To his surprise, the object immediately disintegrates—a trap created with Iron Sand , a powerful ability inherited from the Gaara and Shinki clans. Ryū quickly takes control of the situation, using his sand to immobilize the Leaf ninjas, revealing his true nature: a natural predator, cunning and cruel.

Ryū shows his true power

Ryū is no ordinary opponent. He's already demonstrated his strength by subduing Code and manipulating his claw marks, disabling his teleportation. Now, he displays incredible sensory ability, connecting with the desert around him, detecting not only the physical presence of enemies but also their emotional states. This explains how he anticipated Yodo's mistake, cementing his position as one of the most dangerous threats ever seen.

The Turnaround: A Blade Against Ryū

Just when all seemed lost, Araya intervenes with his Magnetic Sand Sealing Blade , breaking Ryū's control over the immobilized ninjas. The villain is taken aback, realizing his advantage has been neutralized. The chapter ends on a thrilling note, leaving fans eager to discover the origin of this blade and how it might affect the course of the battle.

Is there redemption for Ryū?

Despite his brutality, Ryū can still be influenced by the Talk no Jutsu , the famous redemption technique from the Naruto universe. As happened with Nagato and Obito, perhaps Boruto and his team can free him from Jura's influence, paving the way for him to discover his true identity. However, trusting such a powerful and unpredictable being could generate internal conflicts within the Hidden Leaf Village, making his integration a complex challenge.
