Decoding Boruto's Flying Raijin: Unraveling the Mystery Behind the Two Blue Vortex

Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga recently introduced a technique that surprised fans. However, followers of the original Naruto series were already familiar with this technique. The Flying Raijin, featured in one of the latest chapters of the sequel series, made a significant impact.

Some fans, particularly those new to the Boruto series, may not recognize this technique. For viewers who have only seen the sequel and not the original series, the importance of the Flying Raijin may be lost on them.

This technique, classified as a space-time jutsu, is incredibly useful. Contrary to popular belief, it was not Minato Namikaze who created it, but Tobirama Senju, the second Hokage of Konohagakure village.

Minato Namikaze, known as Konoha’s Yellow Flash, mastered and utilized this technique to perfection. Alongside Tobirama Senju, they are considered some of the fastest shinobis in the world.

The protagonist in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga utilizes a unique technique that enables teleportation to a specified location. To initiate this technique, the user must have a marker, which is generated by applying a technique formula on an object. Once the marker is established, it remains permanently in place. Subsequently, the user can harness their chakra to teleport to the designated marker.

There appears to be no limit to the number of markers that can be utilized, as observed in the Boruto Two Blue Vortex series. A notable example of this technique in action was when Minato employed it against Obito. He affixed markers to his Kunai and hurled it at Obito, who mistook it for a regular Kunai. Seizing the opportunity, Minato swiftly teleported behind Obito and delivered a powerful Rasengan attack.

Before the release of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, there were a couple of variants shown in the original series. Minato Namikaze utilized a similar principle by creating a barrier that would teleport incoming attacks to a different space marked by him. This was demonstrated when Minato faced Kurama and redirected a Tailed Beast Bomb with his technique called Flying Raijin: Guiding Thunder.

In the Boruto Two Blue Vortex manga, the protagonist utilized it to locate Code’s hideout in chapter 4 when Code made his escape. Fans witnessed one of the Toads tracking down Code’s secret hideaway, leading them to speculate that the protagonist had placed a marker on the Toad.

Following the Toad's successful tracking of Code, the protagonist employed the Flying Raijin technique to swiftly arrive at the hideout. This technique, known for its versatility, appears to be mastered by the protagonist, raising anticipation for its potential use in battles against formidable adversaries.

Editor's P/S:

The article on the Flying Raijin technique in Boruto Two Blue Vortex provided a comprehensive overview of its history and utility, but I felt it could have delved deeper into its significance in the original Naruto series. While the technique's introduction in the sequel may have surprised some viewers, its origins and impact in the earlier installments deserved more attention.

Moreover, the article briefly mentioned Minato's variation of the technique, Flying Raijin: Guiding Thunder, but did not explore its full potential and impact on the series. This technique played a pivotal role in Minato's battles and showcased his mastery over space-time manipulation. By expanding on this aspect, the article could have provided a more complete understanding of the Flying Raijin's versatility and Minato's prowess as a shinobi.
