Is Boruto a rogue ninja? Exploring the events prior and post timeskip
To address the inquiry, we must initially establish the concept of a rogue ninja in anime and manga. A rogue ninja is a shinobi who has been either expelled from the village or voluntarily departed from it for personal motives.
Engaging in illegal activities is a primary cause for being exiled. If their behavior brings harm to the village or its inhabitants, they forfeit their status as shinobi and are labeled as rogue. A well-known example of a rogue ninja is Sasuke Uchiha from the original Naruto series.
Boruto is currently a rogue ninja in the manga series. Just before the timeskip, Kawaki confronted Naruto and Hinata, and trapped them in a dimension where time stands still. He managed to do this without being detected by the Sensory Unit, which constantly monitors the village. He then convinced Eida to use her Omnipotence ability to switch the roles of Kawaki and Boruto in the memories of the villagers. As a result, everyone in the village believed that Naruto was dead and that Boruto had abandoned a mission, leading to a hunt to kill him.
The only individuals unaffected by Eida's omnipotence were Sarada and Sumire. The former successfully awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan and sought her father's assistance in aiding Boruto.

He fled the village and became a rogue ninja, leading to a confrontation in the Two Blue Vortex series. Boruto returned to Konohagakure, where he faced his former best friend Kawaki in a tense standoff, but the fight did not happen as depicted in the series' opening chapter. After fleeing the Hidden Leaf Village, Sasuke trained Naruto's son, and Boruto successfully mastered every technique taught by him, becoming incredibly powerful and even surpassing Sasuke. With the introduction of new antagonists called the Divine Tree in the manga, it will be exciting to witness Boruto's skills in action.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of the Boruto series, I am thrilled about the latest developments in the Two Blue Vortex manga. The concept of Boruto becoming a rogue ninja adds an exciting twist to the storyline and keeps me eagerly anticipating each new chapter. The idea of Kawaki manipulating events to frame Boruto as a traitor is both intriguing and heartbreaking, as it highlights the complex dynamics between the characters.
The growth and evolution of Boruto's character are particularly captivating. His journey from being a carefree ninja to a skilled and powerful rogue ninja showcases his resilience and determination. The fact that he surpasses even Sasuke's abilities is a testament to his potential and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. I can't wait to see how Boruto's newfound strength and abilities will impact the ongoing battle against the Divine Tree and shape the future of the ninja world.
