Sasuke's Whereabouts Revealed and the Impending Menace

In the exciting ongoing chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, fans can't help but wonder, "Where is Sasuke?" Despite Naruto's son returning to the Hidden Leaf Village, the manga has yet to reveal the whereabouts of Sasuke Uchiha, who accompanied the protagonist during the time skip. In the end of the original manga, Kawaki manipulated Eida to swap positions with Boruto, leading the protagonist to flee the village. Sasuke, also under the influence of brainwashing, joined him in this pursuit, at the request of his daughter Sarada, to ensure his safety.

Since the commencement of the new manga's serialization, fans have eagerly anticipated the appearance of Sasuke. Regrettably, his introduction in the new manga is yet to occur. Numerous fans have started to speculate that Sasuke may be deceased. Nonetheless, a new hypothesis suggests that he may be alive but confined, similar to Naruto and Hinata.

Since the start of the new series, Mangaka Masashi Kishimoto has consistently emphasized the significance of the Claw Grimes and their extraordinary abilities to the fans. Despite the series having other pressing storylines to explore, such as Boruto's confrontation with Code or Kawaki, it never fails to showcase the Claw Grimes in action.

The most significant detail revealed in the manga is that when bitten by Claw Grime, a person transforms into a tree. It is important to note that the Claw Grimes, similar to the Ten-Tails clones in Naruto Shippuden, are connected to the tailed beast. It is peculiar that the Claw Grimes have the ability to transform people into trees, whereas the clones cannot. However, considering the context, it is strongly suggested that Code may have modified his army to bite individuals in the hopes of biting an Otsutsuki and triggering the growth of the Divine Tree. Nevertheless, it remains unclear why those who were bitten managed to survive.

As depicted in the manga, Sarada affirms the existence of Soegi, who managed to survive even after being transformed into a tree. Nevertheless, the pertinent question arises: What is the significance of the manga divulging this particular piece of information? Why should we be concerned about the fate of a minor character who has undergone such a bizarre transformation?

Masashi Kishimoto may have dropped a major hint to his fans, implying that Sasuke Uchiha might have turned into a tree. This revelation, confirming that those transformed into trees were still alive, suggests that it may be possible to bring back the Uchiha clan.

Although the theory might seem peculiar, there is substantial evidence to support it. As depicted in the manga, it is revealed that Boruto and Sasuke encountered Code during the time skip, coinciding with Code potentially losing his left eye. There is a reasonable possibility that while Boruto managed to escape the confrontation, Sasuke might have become trapped by Code.

Including Sasuke in the narrative could potentially overshadow other characters. Hence, eliminating Sasuke was a wise move by Kishimoto, as it allows him to remain relevant to the plot while Boruto sets out on a mission to rescue his master.

The theory is ultimately disproven when Boruto deliberately avoids speaking to Sarada, possibly indicating his embarrassment at his failure to protect her father.

On another note, Sarada's realization that the transformed individuals remain alive suggests that she may be the one capable of saving her own father.

Despite the circumstances, why is Boruto not prioritizing the rescue of his parents or Sasuke? Instead of focusing on such crucial missions, he is observed pursuing Code, an adversary whom he could easily conquer but not entirely vanquish. Boruto has been actively discussing the horrors inflicted by the Ten-Tails. Considering Code's malevolent intentions towards everyone's demise, there seems to be no valid justification for the protagonist to convey the same sentiments to Code.

Boruto's jougan may suggest that he had a glimpse into the future, witnessing the horrors of the Ten-Tails. This could explain why he prioritized thwarting Code's plans rather than rescuing his parents or master. However, since Sasuke's situation remains uncertain, fans eagerly await the manga's revelation to either support or refute this theory.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of the Naruto series, I am intrigued by the new Boruto: Two Blue Vortex theory that reveals Sasuke's whereabouts and hints at an impending menace. The fact that Sasuke's status remains a mystery, despite Boruto's return to the Hidden Leaf Village, adds an element of suspense to the ongoing narrative. Fans are left wondering about the potential horrors that lie ahead, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

The theory that Sasuke may have been turned into a tree by the Claw Grimes is both intriguing and plausible. The manga's emphasis on the Claw Grimes and their abilities, as well as the revelation that those transformed into trees can still survive, suggests that there may be more to Sasuke's disappearance than meets the eye. The possibility of Sasuke's transformation also raises questions about the fate of the Uchiha clan and whether there is a way to bring them back.
