Shikamaru's Dilemma
The upcoming chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is titled '3 years,' and it opens with Shikamaru seeking advice from the elders of the Hidden Leaf Village. Shikamaru informs them about Boruto's assistance in fighting Code, but the elders are adamant that Boruto needs to be eliminated after his attempt to kill Uzumaki Kawaki. The situation has made running the village a tough task, and the elders ask Shikamaru to take on the title of the eighth Hokage. However, Shikamaru's temporary role is about to come to an end, and the elders want him to become the permanent Hokage. This revelation sets the stage for a tense and pivotal moment in the manga.
