Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is moving forward steadily and the manga has introduced a formidable new group of villains known as the Shinju or the Shinju clones. These ancient beings are recognized for their immense chakra and natural energy.
The Shinjus were able to detect Eida's eavesdropping and observe her using her Senrigan, a new development not yet seen in the Boruto series.
Many fans noticed a striking resemblance between the Shinju and Gaara of the Sand, and discussions on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit ensued. This article aims to explore the theory of which Shinju might be a clone of Gaara in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga chapters. Please note that this article contains major spoilers and is purely speculative in nature.

In the fifth chapter of the manga series, additional details about the Shinju were uncovered. The four entities, Bug, Jura, Moegi, and Hidari, are revealed to be primordial beings that operate solely on instincts without the capacity for thought.
These entities were originally formed from Code's Claw Marks through fission and assume the appearance of the counterpart they absorbed. Many speculate that Hidari is a clone of Sasuke, and some even theorize that Jura may be a clone of Gaara.
First and foremost, the most significant clue is Jura’s hairstyle. It has been observed that the Shinju clones’ appearance bears a striking resemblance to their originals. For example, Moegi’s clone shares her hair, Bug’s clone mirrors his facial hair, and Hidari and Sasuke’s appearance are alike. In this context, Jura’s hair is quite similar to Gaara's. This suggests that Gaara could potentially be sealed in a tree, similar to how Sasuke was sealed.
The Shinju are enigmatic beings with little known about them. What is known is that they seek to reach their ultimate form by consuming specific beings and surrendering to their instincts.
In the most recent chapter, Jura urged the other entities to embrace their instincts, claiming that doing so would reveal their targets. This revelation added another level of insight for fans as a pattern in their selection became apparent.
In the latest chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, the Shinju selected their targets. Bug chose Eida, Hidari chose Sarada, and Moegi chose Konohamaru. They targeted individuals who were extremely close to their respective counterparts. In Jura’s instance, he targeted Naruto Uzumaki. The only other person who was extremely close to Naruto aside from Sasuke, was Gaara. He was lonely and rejected by everyone around him due to their fear of his powers.
Naruto was the one who changed his perspective and rescued him from despair, forming a strong bond with Gaara. As a result, fans believe that Gaara is the counterpart of Jura in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga series.
In conclusion, two factors have led Boruto fans to connect Jura and Gaara. First is the hairstyle, with the 3/4 parting being unique to Gaara and bearing a resemblance to Jura's hairstyle. The second point is their target, as Jura's choice of Naruto Uzumaki indicates that he is a clone of someone close to Naruto.

Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the Boruto series, I am thrilled with the introduction of the new villains, the Shinju, in the Two Blue Vortex manga. The concept of ancient beings with immense chakra and natural energy adds a new level of excitement to the story. The mystery surrounding their origins and their connection to Gaara has sparked intriguing discussions among fans.
The theory that Jura, one of the Shinju, might be a clone of Gaara is particularly intriguing. The similarities in their hairstyles and the fact that Jura targeted Naruto Uzumaki, someone extremely close to Gaara, provide compelling evidence to support this theory. It would be fascinating to explore the implications of this connection and how it might impact the overall narrative of the manga.
