Chapter 5 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex revealed spoilers from the present timeline, as Konohamaru, Shikadai, Inojin, and Chocho discovered that Moegi had been transformed into a Divine Tree named "Matsuri." As the Shinobi planned to rescue Moegi, Matsuri was able to sense their profound despair.
Two other Divine Trees, named "Jura" and "Sasuke" or "Hidari," were introduced in the chapter. Jura informed Matsuri that despite being a single entity, they each had individual consciousnesses. Instead of pursuing the Otsutsuki, Jura expressed a strong desire to target Naruto Uzumaki. Eida, using her omnipotence, was shocked to discover that the Divine Trees were focused on individuals other than the Otsutsuki. Matsuri, upon hearing this, revealed her desire to consume Konohamaru Sarutobi. Hidari expressed doubts about his existence and shared that he instinctively targeted Sarada Uchiha.
New spoilers for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5 suggest that the Divine Trees had the ability to access omnipotence, as the "Bug" Divine Tree detected Eida's surveillance and marked her as its next target.
In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5 spoilers, the focus shifts to Amado and Sumire. Amado confesses to Sumire that he is close to resurrecting his daughter Akebi Sanzu, but in reality, he needs Kawaki's karma to achieve this. However, due to Eida's manipulation, Amado believes he needs Boruto's karma instead. After examining Kawaki's karma, he realizes that his memories are compromised. Despite this, he opts to trust the facts rather than his deductions, although he suspects that his memories have been tampered with after implanting Kawaki with his karma.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 5 spoilers revealed Sumire sharing Amado's information with Sarada. It was clear that if Amado saw evidence of Boruto and Kawaki's switch, he would believe it. Unfortunately, no matter how much evidence they provided in the past, people always relied on their memories.
Despite this, Sarada was confident that they could still do something, as her father had overcome his memories to help Boruto. Just then, Boruto returned to the Hidden Leaf Village and surprised both Sarada and Sumire. He explained that Sasuke had doubts but still went against them to save him and Sarada. Upon seeing him, Sarada immediately hugged him and scolded him for being late.
