All that and more will finally be focused on the upcoming Boruto: TBV Chapter 18.

The plan to defeat Shinju finally became clear

Boruto: The Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 will see the plan to defeat Shinju come to fruition.

In the previous chapter BorutoIt was made clear to the fans that Shikamaru did not want to play fair against Shinju. Having set Team 7 on a mission to fight Shinju, he doesn't expect them to go to their deaths. Instead, he has a plan and, surprisingly, the idea here is to trick Shinju and strike when they least expect it. Essentially, Shikamaru wants Konohamaru and Team 7 to befriend them. The idea here is that these shinju are like newborn babies – not inherently good or bad, meaning they are dominant. Shikamaru wants to befriend them and get on their good side, and when the time is right, strike to take them down in one fell swoop. This idea is definitely something and the complete opposite of Naruto's ideology. This shows what a different leader Shikamaru is. Where Naruto would try to befriend them or defeat them in a fair fight, Shikamaru takes the path that gives him the highest chance of success.

Deceive them. That's the plan. – Shikamaru Nara

Boruto: The Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 is definitely going to focus on Konohamaru and Team 7, as they try to execute this plan after isolating Shinju. Things are going to be incredibly intense in the upcoming Boruto chapter, because so far, everything is going according to plan for the Konoha and Suna shinobi. However, things will not always be in their favor. To increase the intensity, it is very likely that somewhere along the line, the plan will fail and this is where the main battles will begin to take shape, and fans are hoping that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 will give them just that.

Konomaru's failure to trick Matsuri

Konohamaru wants to trick Matsuri to save Sarutobi Moegi

Konohamaru is at the crossroads of Sarutobi Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18. First and foremost the Hokage is following orders given to him by Shikamaru. However, doing what Shikamaru said would be going against Naruto's own teachings. Konohamaru admires Naruto and wants to be like him. More than that, Konohamaru knows that Naruto inherited the will of fire from Hiruzen Sarutobi, so going down the path of betrayal would mean disrespecting the two people he loves and respects the most, and at the same time, betraying his own trust.

At the same time, however, if Konohamaru does not defeat Matsuri and retrieve the Thorn Soul Bulb, it is game over for Moigi, one of Konohamaru's closest friends. Obviously, things are very complicated for Konohamaru right now, especially when he knows that the path Shikamaru gave him is one that goes against everything he stands for, but also that it has the highest chance of success and, with that, saving Moegi. . It will be very interesting to see how Konohamaru Sarutobi deals with this issue Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 18.

Sarada's problem with Ryu

As Konomaru Sarutobi struggles with her mission Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes Chapter 18, it is possible that Sarada Uchiha will be as well. If anything, things are going to be difficult for Sarada, as she is still a teenager and is more inclined to understand emotions than a full shinobi like Konomaru.

Ryu seems to already trust the Konoha shinobi, and more than that, he trusts the fact that Jura respects them all. This would give Sarada Uchiha and the others a moral dilemma, and possibly risk sabotaging the entire mission going forward. If the Sunagakure ninja strike regardless, then, the whole plan could be ruined in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18, and fans will then see the ninjas face Ryu's wrath.

Kawaki's full power returns

Amado set out to remove Kawaki's limiters, but at a cost

Finally, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 will definitely give Kawaki the attention he deserves. In the previous chapter, Kawaki visited Amado after being informed by Boruto about the nature of his power suppression. Apparently, Kawaki is frustrated with his own weakness and wants to gain access to his full power as soon as possible. This is precisely why he is now in front of Amado, demanding that he remove the boundaries. On paper, the situation may seem like it is in Kawaki's favor, but fans should keep in mind that Amado is a very smart man. He probably wrote with limiters the fact that he faced a threat from Kawaki. As such, Amado should be expected to gain some leverage against Kawaki in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18. That said, fans should still expect Amado to overcome limiters. I'm exchanging, Kawaki will pay the price, and it will certainly be a very interesting development going forward.

I am expecting to meet you anytime now. – Amado

What the price may be, nothing can be said. What is clear, however, is that Amado wants his daughter back and his goal is to keep Kawaki as Karma in Delta. Perhaps, that might be his situation and in that case, Kawaki would be forced to obey.

Things look increasingly encouraging for the future Boruto series, and fans can rest assured that Ikemoto will deliver an unprecedented chapter moving forward. With the next chapter of Boruto With only a few days left, it's time for fans to prepare for the exciting battles to begin, and expect an even more incredible setup.

Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. Series fans can officially read it for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. The release date for Boruto's next chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 18 is set for January 20, 2025.
