For decades, Naruto has remained a beloved franchise, and even though the original series has concluded, its legacy lives on. Despite a shaky start, Boruto Uzumaki has emerged as a formidable leader in the sequel to Naruto.
His latest adventure in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has garnered praise for its thrilling post-time skip action. Now, the newest chapter of Boruto has sparked speculation among fans that Kurama, the Nine-Tails, may be planning a comeback.
The latest chapter of Boruto, released by Shueisha this month, introduced fans to Kawaki as he faced ridicule within his own village.
However, the atmosphere quickly shifted when a pair of Ten-Tail clones arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village in search of Naruto. To everyone’s surprise, one of these clones is a replica of Sasuke. With pinpoint accuracy, the clones zero in on Naruto’s location in the village. After subduing Kawaki, they set their sights on… Himawari.
Contrary to assumptions, Himawari is not targeted simply because she is Naruto’s daughter. The clones reveal that they honed in on Himawari due to her possession of bijuu chakra.
This revelation has left fans on the edge of their seats, as Himawari’s latent strength becomes apparent. Though her abilities have yet to be fully showcased, several adversaries in Boruto have acknowledged her potential.
The revelation of bijuu chakra further solidifies Himawari’s significance in the series. Now, the pressing question is why Himawari possesses the same bijuu chakra as Naruto and whether this signals Kurama’s return.
The events in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations paved the way for Kurama’s demise. The Nine-Tails aided Naruto in his battle against Jigen, ultimately sacrificing itself to empower Naruto’s Baryon Mode. Kurama’s last appearance was within Naruto’s seal, where the duo bid farewell.
As Kurama faded away, fans speculated about the possibility of its reincarnation like other chakra beasts. Now, with the revelation of Himawari’s connection to bijuu chakra, fans are left pondering the mysteries surrounding Kurama’s potential resurgence.
For those who haven’t caught up with Boruto’s latest series, the current chapters are available on Manga Plus. To delve deeper into the world of Naruto, you can explore its sequel’s synopsis below:
“Years have passed since Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to defeat Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra and the greatest threat the ninja world has ever faced. Times are now peaceful, and the new generation of shinobi has not experienced the same hardships as their predecessors.
Perhaps that is why Boruto prefers playing video games over training. However, one burning passion drives this ninja boy: the desire to surpass his father. As memories are altered, Boruto finds himself hunted by his own village. After escaping with Sasuke, what awaits Boruto in the future?”
