The upcoming Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 7 is scheduled for release on February 21st and has generated excitement among fans due to early spoilers that have been shared.
The previous chapter concluded with Mitsuki tracking down and confronting Boruto, declaring that they would battle.
This new chapter focuses mainly on the fight between the two former friends. Mitsuki is overpowered by Boruto over the course of the clash.
When the battle concludes with Mitsuki’s defeat, Boruto tells him that he is following the wrong leader and calls Kawaki the “wrong Sun.”
When Mitsuki attempts to counterattack, he pauses to contemplate Boruto’s words and begins to doubt his loyalty to Kawaki.
In a surprising show of maturity following their fight, Boruto extends an invitation for Mitsuki to visit him anytime, highlighting their past positive relationship.
This gesture reveals character growth for Boruto since the time jump and has left fans impressed but divided in their opinions on the developments.
Boruto’s Good Gesture Towards Mitsuki
In the new Boruto chapter, the Boruto is suddenly ambushed by a barrage of snakes summoned by Mitsuki. Boruto rapidly teleports to a nearby tree to assess this unexpected confrontation with his former friend instead of Kawaki.
Not allowing Boruto to flee, Mitsuki continues his relentless assault using shadow clones to chase him down.
Boruto realizes Mitsuki is outmatched and makes short work of all the clones before decisively defeating him.
A confused Mitsuki questions why he wasn’t killed. Boruto then cryptically reveals to him that Kawaki does not represent the “Sun” figure that Mitsuki once called his friend.
He further emphasizes to Mitsuki that this fact can never be changed, as he calmly returns his sword to its scabbard. Seizing this pause in the action, Mitsuki tries to counterattack but finds himself unable to truly harm Boruto, conflicted by creeping doubts about Kawaki being his true leader.
As background, Mitsuki was created as a clone of Orochimaru, one of the central antagonists in the Naruto series.
After confirming that Boruto represented the “Sun” that gives his “Moon” purpose, Mitsuki began living in the Hidden Leaf Village.
The moon is a symbolic entity that wanders in darkness without its own source of light, only reflecting the illumination of the sun that gives it meaning. For Mitsuki, his personal sun had been Boruto Uzumaki, whose presence and friendship sustained him.
However, due to the manipulative power of Eida’s Omnipotence ability, Mitsuki’s allegiance was redirected toward Kawaki instead of his original sun Boruto.
While skeptical about this forced change in loyalty, Mitsuki lacked clarity on the identity of his true guiding light because of Eida’s influence over him.
How Fans Have Reacted To Boruto’s Behaviour
After reading the latest chapter spoilers, fans flooded online forums to express their thoughts and reactions to Boruto’s stark character transformation following the impactful time jump. Most readers were struck by his unexpectedly cold demeanor toward Mitsuki.
Many posts included emotional outcries and images depicting the tense conversation between the former friends, highlighting Boruto’s chilling persona.
During the time skip, he not only trained rigorously under Sasuke but also painfully witnessed his mentor being consumed by an enemy’s attack.
These traumatic experiences seem to have simultaneously strengthened Boruto’s abilities and accelerated his maturity.
As a result, he handles the confrontation with Mitsuki in a calm and composed manner, without any signs of hatred or revenge-seeking.
His current status remains uncertain – although he disclosed critical intel to Shikamaru, the Hidden Leaf officials may be reluctant to trust the account of a rogue ninja.
For now, Boruto appears trapped in limbo until more light is shed on his allegations.
