Summary
Boruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 4 dropped recently and it was certainly one of the most shocking ones in the entire series for both good and bad reasons. While there was a lot that fans were excited about in the chapter, it was also full of stuff that, at the end of the day, was upsetting to quite a lot of them.
One of the most interesting things in the chapterwas the fate of Sasuke Uchiha, which was finally revealed and, at the same time, the emergence of a new villain, which appears to be a clone of the 10 Tails, based on Sasuke Uchiha himself.
Sasuke’s Turns Into A Tree In Boruto
Sasuke Uchiha left with Boruto Uzumaki during the timeskip in order to grow stronger. Sasuke agreed to watch over Boruto and train with him in an attempt to get to the next level. This was something very interesting for the fans, who believed that Sasuke would aid Boruto greatly. However, as soon as the second part of Boruto began, it was clear for the fans to see that Sasuke was not around anymore. This started raising suspicions immediately among fans but a lot of them believed that he would eventually turn up. Sadly, even after 4 months, there was no sight of him.
Eventually, inBoruto: TBVchapter 4, it was finally revealed that Sasuke had faced a very sad fate. Essentially, Sasuke was turned into a tree in Boruto. While that might actually sound absurd to the fans, it did end up happening and the person who made this possible was none other than Code. Fans know that Code used his claw marks to shrink down the 10 Tails into humanoid Grimes.
These Grimes were seen in action in Konoha recently and one of their abilities appears to be to turn people into trees by consuming their chakra. These Grimes bite down on people in an attempt to eat them. When they are bitten, they start turning into trees and it is believed that their chakra is sucked out, rendering them unconscious. Fans already saw this happening in Konoha and Sarada was the one who deduced that the person inside the tree was still alive, however, barely. She also believed that there is a way to save these people and, unbeknownst to the fans,that was the fate that Sasuke was facing as well.
In Boruto: TBV chapter 4, it was revealed that Sasuke had faced a similar fate at the hands of one of the Claw Grimes that Code created. Essentially, at some point during the 3-year timeskip, Code fought against Sasuke and Boruto and it is likely during these encounters that he made use of the Claw Grimes as well. It is likely that Sasuke was taken by surprise and bitten by one of them, which would then have turned him into this gigantic tree. Sasuke is now unconscious and completely cut away from the main story of Boruto.
Sasuke’s Shinju Clone – How It Was Created
Things get even better inBorutoas it is revealed that the 10 Tails has started to evolve. It has started to develop its own conscience and is now taking its own decisions. Essentially, the 10 Tails is now stronger than ever before and that means it has gained the ability to evolve. The Ten-Tails has evolved beyond just biting the nearest source of chakra and draining it. Now, it is a real threat to humanity, which is exactly what Boruto feared. InBoruto: TBVchapter 4, the 10 Tails that Code had incapacitated simply vanished all of a sudden.
Later on, fans saw four different humanoid clones appearing out of nowhere and it is believed that the 10 Tails decided to recreate itself in these clones. These clones are not just based on random characters. In fact, they are based on those who are trapped within the trees that the Grimes ended up creating after biting people. Since their chakra has been sucked out and is stored within the God Trees, the beast knows everything about them and can successfully clone them as well. That is precisely how these shinju clones cameto be and Sasuke Uchihaalso has a Shinju clone now.
How Strong Is Sasuke’s Shinju Clone?
As soon as the four clones appeared in front of Boruto Uzumaki, the Sasuke Shinju clone caught his eye immediately. In fact, the clone immediately attacked Boruto as well without a second notice. It was clear to see that the strength of this clone was astronomical and it easily managed to overpower Boruto. In fact, the clone even behaves like Sasuke and attacks similarly to him. Fans saw the clone make use of Lightning Release, which fans know is Sasuke’s go-to Nature Transformation. Boruto managed to counterthis with a Rasenganof his own, however, he knew that he could not defeat him or the other Shinju clones in battle, which is why he decided to retreat.
Furthermore, every single Shinju clone that was created also seems to possess a Rinnegan. Sasuke Uchiha likely has two Rinnegan as well and one of them was clearly visible to the fans. This spells danger for the ninja world since these four monstrously powerful fighters now need to be taken down in combat somehow. The fact is this version of Sasuke is incredibly difficult to fight against, given that he is one of the strongest ninjas to ever live. This isn’t even a nerfed version of Sasuke. The Shinju Clone of Sasuke is blessed with the power of the Rinnegan and, at the same time, has all of Sasuke’s abilities at its very best. On top of that, it has a 10 Tails boost, and both arms too.
As seen previously, It can also mold its arms into various appendages to attack those around it.Sasuke’s Shinju Clone was able to create a swordout of his hand and attack Boruto with it. It can also likely use other powerful abilities of the 10 Tails and, the fact is that these clones are still evolving. It was made very clear by them that the process of evolution hasn’t stopped just yet and that they aim on getting even stronger. With Sasuke Uchiha’s clone here, Boruto is now more intense than ever before, as only by defeating this clone can Sasuke likely be freed and that means Boruto will have to fight against a clone of his own master.
Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and theManga Plusapp. The release date for the next chapter of Boruto, Boruto Part 2 chapter 5, is set to be June 20, 2025.
