Jura's rise and Boruto's momentary collapse
Jura's arrival in the Land of Wind ushered in a new wave of destruction. Initially focused on recovering Ryu and Matsuri's Thorn Soul Bulbs, he quickly shifted priorities upon encountering Boruto. Although the young Uzumaki managed to hold his own for a while, the situation quickly spiraled out of control.
Even using his powerful Uzuhiko Rasengan, Boruto realized the technique was ineffective against an opponent like Jura, a manifestation of the Tree God. His attempt at close combat yielded a remarkable feat, severing Jura's left leg, but the effort was not enough. The enemy recovered and took control of the fight, dominating Boruto with brutal attacks and consecutive launches of Tailed Beast Bombs.
The Role of Kashin Koji's Foreknowledge
In the midst of the battle, the narrative shifts focus to Kashin Koji, who observes the events through his Prescience Shinjutsu. Even with the shocking scenes of Boruto being slaughtered, Koji instructs Eida to remain silent, as he was receiving a new vision of the future. The news? Jura would have his right eye pierced, an event that would change the course of the battle.
This detail reinforces how Prescience, despite being powerful, is not infallible, something that is confirmed when Koji is surprised by Kawaki's arrival, a move that he himself had not foreseen.
Kawaki returns: new power and more aggression
Kawaki's appearance marks the true turning point of the chapter. Arriving suddenly in the Hidden Sand Village, he not only attacks Jura with precision, piercing his eye as predicted, but also reveals an upgrade to his body performed by Amado. The modification would have enhanced his offensive capabilities, as evidenced in the fight sequence.
Even in the face of Jura's brute force, Kawaki maintains control of the situation, masterfully utilizing his black rods and dodging Biju Bomb attacks. His confidence and agility indicate significant growth since their last confrontation.
Boruto and Kawaki: more than allies, strategists
One of the chapter's most significant elements is the implicit revelation that Boruto and Kawaki previously worked together to plan this counterattack. Koji's surprise at Kawaki's intervention reinforces the hypothesis that Boruto, despite being seriously injured, had a plan and managed to execute it with precision.
This detail elevates Boruto from a mere impulsive protagonist to someone with strategic vision, capable of using not only his strength, but also his tactical intelligence to change the course of a seemingly lost battle.
Delta, Mitsuki and Sarada: are reinforcements on the way?
While the main battle unfolds, the chapter still devotes time to other important characters. Konohamaru and Mitsuki discuss Boruto's latest moves and share information that points to a larger plan. Meanwhile, Delta, observing from above, appears to be monitoring Boruto's allies, indicating that new entries in the fight may be imminent.
Strategic chapter, not just combative
At the same time, the chapter leaves important clues about the future: Eida, Delta's evolution, and the possibility of Sarada and Mitsuki entering the battlefield, which could create a strategic front of resistance against the Tree God's forces.
With Kawaki on the scene and a new confrontation about to begin, the series shows that there's still much to be explored in terms of character development and tactical complexity. Boruto thus continues to expand its narrative universe in an intelligent and dynamic way.
