Hello guys, how are you all doing? In this post, we are going to dive into Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 5. This chapter, titled "Target," is packed with emotional moments and shocking reveals, especially concerning Sasuke Uchiha. Let's get right into it.
Sasuke and Boruto's Training Flashback
The chapter begins with a flashback showing Boruto training with Sasuke during the time skip. They are seen resting by a fire, reminiscent of the classic scenes from the anime. Boruto asks Sasuke about his new Uchiha-style techniques, seeking his master's approval.
Sasuke acknowledges Boruto's growth, stating that he is a genius student who learns quickly. He admits that he has taught Boruto almost everything he knows and that he has nothing left to teach him. However, he reminds Boruto that a shinobi's training never truly ends.
In a touching moment, Sasuke compares Boruto to Naruto, saying he sees the same spirit in him. He tells Boruto that he is training him because he believes in his daughter, Sarada, even though his own memories have been altered by Omnipotence.
Sasuke's Sacrifice
The flashback continues to a battle against Code and his Claw Grimes. Sasuke and Boruto are overwhelmed. Sasuke, realizing the danger, orders Boruto to run while he holds them off. He tells Boruto to survive and protect Sarada no matter what.
Sasuke entrusts his sword to Boruto and charges at the army of Claw Grimes alone using Chidori. This heroic sacrifice leads to Sasuke being turned into a tree, which explains why Boruto now wields Sasuke's sword and cloak in the present timeline.
The Fate of Moegi and the Shinju Targets
Back in the present day, it is revealed that Moegi Kazamatsuri has also been turned into a tree. She sacrificed herself to save a child. This confirms that the new female Shinju enemy is indeed a clone of Moegi.
At the Shinju hideout, the four new villains discuss their existence. They realize that their instincts are driving them to hunt specific targets. The leader, Jura, states his target is Naruto Uzumaki.
The Bug-clone reveals his target is Eida, much to Eida's shock as she watches through her Senrigan. The Sasuke-clone (Hidari) reveals his target is Sarada Uchiha. This twisted fate means Sarada will have to face a being that looks exactly like her father.
Amado's Suspicion and Boruto's Return
In Konoha, Amado speaks with Sumire. He expresses confusion about his scientific tools. He knows he modified Boruto, yet Kawaki now possesses the Karma and powers he planted. This leads Amado to suspect that his memories have been altered, although he decides to follow the physical evidence for now.
Sumire then meets with Sarada to discuss how to prove Boruto's innocence. Sarada is doubtful that physical evidence will work against the brainwashing of Omnipotence. Suddenly, Boruto appears behind them.
In an emotional reunion, Sarada rushes to hug Boruto. Boruto tells her that Sasuke saved him because he believed in her. The chapter ends with this heartwarming moment, though Sumire looks a bit jealous in the background. The stage is set for intense battles ahead!
