The release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 4 unveiled four new antagonists for a potential upcoming arc, shattering the belief that the Divine Trees only possess powers similar to their originals. The revelation that their possession of the Rinnegan could enhance their powers to unprecedented territories was a game-changer.
In this manga chapter, Boruto pursued Code using the Flying Raijin Technique, only to be met by the Divine Tree alongside Code. When the situation escalated, Code fled, prompting the protagonist to return to his hideout. There, the manga disclosed Sasuke's status and introduced Boruto's new ally, Kashin Koji.

In chapter 4 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto gains knowledge about the Divine Trees. The previous chapter clearly indicated that anyone bitten by the Claw Grimes would be transformed into a tree. However, the fate of the victims was not revealed until the release of chapter 4.
Upon being bitten, a humanoid Divine Tree version of the person is created. This entity not only retains the abilities and appearance of the original person, but also enhances them. It is evident from how the "Bug" Divine Tree managed to stay toe-to-toe in battle with Boruto despite the weak persona of the real Bug.

The Divine Trees possessed this characteristic that made them incredibly dangerous, as characters like Sasuke Uchiha in their "Divine Tree" form would become excessively powerful. What's more, being spawned as a Divine Tree would also greatly enhance the power of any character bitten by the Claw Grimes, giving them the Rinnegan. Fans will recall that a single Rinnegan user, like Nagato, was already powerful enough to wreak havoc on the Shinobi world using the Six Paths of Pain. Therefore, it stands to reason that multiple Rinnegan users, embodied by the Divine Trees, would be even more destructive.

Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that it's not just the four known Divine Trees that have Rinnegan. Any humanoid Divine Trees created by the Claw Grime bite will also possess Rinnegan, prompting Boruto, Kashin Koji, and others to devise a plan to counter them.
Moreover, the Divine Trees possess dual Rinnegan, unlike Sasuke Uchiha, who previously only had one Rinnegan. A person with two Rinnegan can access a wider range of Rinnegan jutsu compared to someone with just one. Furthermore, the second Rinnegan signifies the user's enhanced power, enabling them to utilize it to its fullest potential.

As of now, no other characters appear to be on par with the Divine Trees, leaving fans hopeful for the protagonists to receive power-ups in the future.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Boruto series, I am thrilled about the latest chapter's exciting developments. The introduction of four new Rinnegan users through the Blue Vortex has opened up a realm of possibilities for the upcoming arc. The Divine Trees' possession of the Rinnegan takes the story to a whole new level, as their enhanced powers could potentially surpass those of the original Rinnegan users we've seen before.
The reveal of Sasuke's Divine Tree form with dual Rinnegan is particularly intriguing. Sasuke has always been a formidable character, and now with this newfound power, he becomes an even more significant threat. I can't wait to see how Boruto and the others will counter this new challenge. The potential for intense battles and thrilling encounters is off the charts, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next chapter to see how the story unfolds.
Overall, I believe that the introduction of multiple Rinnegan users in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has added a significant layer of complexity and excitement to the series. It will be fascinating to witness how these new adversaries impact the story and challenge our beloved characters.
