Boruto: Naruto Next Generations and its sequel, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, have introduced various new villains. However, none have managed to capture the same level of interest as the original Naruto villains. The most recent antagonist, Code, was expected to surpass the strength of Jigen and Naruto. However, his recent appearance in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has revealed that he falls short compared to the formidable opponents in Naruto.

Exploring the potential of Ten-Tails as the villain of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
Since the finale of Naruto: Shippuden, which introduced the Otsutsuki, it has been clear that Boruto will delve into the mythology of the tailed beasts and their ties to divine celestial beings.
The Ten-Tails, originating from the God Tree and the source of all tailed beasts, has the ability to yield chakra fruit. As characters like Code strive to consume a chakra fruit for Otsutsuki level power, it is reasonable to consider the Ten-Tails as an opposing force capable of producing such fruit.
Chapter 1 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has led to speculation among fans about the potential main antagonist in the future of the story. Initially, many believed that Code would assume this role. However, a closer examination of the manga's events thus far and the overall plot setup of Boruto reveals that the Ten-Tails will emerge as the primary force and serve as the next formidable adversary.

In the most recent installment of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Boruto swooped back into the scene with an awe-inspiring entrance, effortlessly overpowering Code with what appeared to be minimal exertion. Throughout the manga series, Code has consistently been depicted as outclassed in combat, with each of his schemes ending in failure and ultimately undermining his reputation as a true menace.

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, the Ten-Tails played a pivotal role as the ultimate weapon. Madara and Obito fiercely battled for control over this powerful entity. The fragmented nine-tailed beast forms of the Ten-Tails also caused widespread destruction before they were eventually subdued and sealed.
In Boruto, there is still a chance that someone may seize control of the complete Ten-Tails, picking up where Madara and Obito left off. This ancient entity poses a dangerous threat if it falls into the wrong hands, with its potential for devastation being a constant concern.
Amado's extensive research on the tailed beasts and their affiliation with the Otsutsuki, combined with Boruto's fascination with dimensions and the Otsutsuki, suggests that the story is gradually unfolding towards an ancient cosmic menace. The Ten-Tails could potentially embody this peril, as it possesses the life force of the divine tree and holds the potential to bridge the gap between the human and Otsutsuki realms. In fact, its power may even surpass that of the Otsutsuki themselves.

Boasting a formidable reputation as an indomitable force of nature, the Ten-Tails holds an extensive history. If it were to resurface as the principal adversary in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the stakes would undoubtedly skyrocket. With lackluster antagonists like Code, the series yearns for a menace that can measure up to the lofty standards set by revered characters like Pain, Obito, and Madara in Naruto: Shippuden.
The revival of the Ten-Tails could reignite the interest and enthusiasm of long-time Naruto fans in the Boruto series, as it serves as a direct connection to the original series' mythology. This presents exhilarating challenges for Boruto and the new generation and has the potential to introduce even more formidable threats of celestial proportions.
