It’s been almost 7 years sinceNarutoofficially ended. The series is reminiscent of a golden age of anime and the reign of the Big 3. But that is not all, considering its influence on readers and viewers worldwide.
Of late, its sequelBorutois making waves withTwo Blue Vortexmanga. From rivals to unparalleled enemies, the series is taking the internet by storm. There is however more to it, especially with a forbidden jutsu’s comeback in the series.
With the Seventh Hokage sealed away in a dimension by Kawaki, his “death” can trigger a comeback of an iconic jutsu. According to this theory, the jutsu is detrimental to the fate of the Otsutsuki.
On top of that, it circles back to the Hokage’s fate and trajectory in the Two Blue Vortex manga. With him presumably dead, it ties in well with his rival Sasuke, who will play a major role in the future arc.
Borutomight bring back this Forbidden Jutsu for good
Barring the chakra technology and modernism,Borutois a pretty good series. And while most people criticize it for its lackluster art and animation, there’s more to its storyline that people often overlook. This is true for its need to break away from old systems.
Be it old power systems or hierarchies, the series redefines the way of the ninja in its unique way. It may not be as glorious or iconic as its precursor, but it carves its niche through its characterization and fleshed-out lore.
One of the blatant criticisms that plague the series is itsinconsistent power scaling. Its breakaway into the Otsutsuki lore is one such example where most villains are overpowered. Although the criticism is valid, it is overblown on several occasions.
To counter Momoshiki, for example, there was a need to have the iconic characters battle it out.Narutoand Sasuke’s showdown with the Otsutsuki balances out the power dynamics along with scaling. But the series is yet to reintroduce the most controversial jutsu.

Aside from cloning, theTwo Blue Vortexmanga introduces daunting and unparalleled foes in the series. With Kawaki sealing away the Seventh Hokage and Sasuke’s transformation into a Shinju, the series might bring backthe Edo Tensei. Both Seventh Hokage and Sasuke are presumably dead in the series.
With the characters’ ability to take on the Otsutsuki, it would be nothing short of legendary. In retrospect, both characters are on par with the clan members in terms of their abilities. Moreover, this extends to the erratic plot development which ties well with the characters’ deaths in the series.
IsNarutodead inTwo Blue Vortex?
Compared to its precursorNaruto, the Two Blue Vortex manga sets the center stage for Boruto’s growth and development. With Shinjus and Claw Grimes wreaking havoc, the Seventh Hokage’s fate remains unknown for the most part, especially to those around him.
Mostly, he is presumed dead, but that is not the case considering Kawaki sealing him away. Along with his wife Hinata, he is trapped in theDaikokuten dimensionfor his safety. But there’s more to it than meets the eye.
With the Otsutsuki clan’s revelations, the plot progression points to a much-deserved comeback of bothNarutoand Sasuke. Kawaki’s desire to protect the Hokage is pivotal in understanding the latter’s larger role in the plot.
Additionally, Edo Tensei serves a higher purpose in defeating the Otsutsuki clan members. Of late, Kashin Koji along with Sasuke and the Seventh Hokage are on par with the clan members and the shinju. This also runs parallel with the hero’sprogress as a shinobi.

By and by, bothNarutoand Sasuke’s return is crucial for the series. While both characters were rumored to be dead, this isn’t the case. Moreover, the sequel has yet to showcase some of the iconic fights and showdowns in its future arcs.
NarutoandBorutoare available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
