It clearly does and always has. Look at kid Sasuke (curse seal off) hurled into the solid rock wall of the Valley of the End here so hard that the rock shatters. He's stunned but barely hurt. A normal human body would have bones shattered and internal injuries.

Not really, getting more chakra than you already have boosts your stats but having more chakra than someone doesn't inherently make you stronger than them.
Part 1 Naruto had more chakra than Red pilled Choji but he was by no means stronger, Naruto also had more chakra than Cerberus Kiba and I don't really see him dealing with that without using Kurama.

Because it's "ninjas..?" The Series
>>
>>290820496
>this was pasta from reddit after a fan of two blue vortex dropped the series.


Every time the latest chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex comes out, I find myself reading it almost out of a sense of obligation. I still care deeply about the Naruto/Boruto story, and because this is a continuation of a series that has been loved for decades, I genuinely want to see it reach a satisfying conclusion. However, with each new chapter, I increasingly find myself wondering: Does the story actually know where it is going, or is it simply delaying the inevitable answers?
>>
>>290820552
The central mysteries of Two Blue Vortex have enormous potential. Boruto’s altered fate, the omnipotence phenomenon, Kawaki’s obsession with protecting Naruto, the Divine Trees, the Ōtsutsuki, the Jougan, Kashin Koji’s future visions, and the true significance of Boruto’s new abilities could all form the foundation of an incredible final act. Yet despite the amount of information being introduced, the actual connections between these mysteries and the ultimate direction of the story remain difficult to understand.

The problem isn’t that Two Blue Vortex is mysterious. Mystery is one of the strengths of the Naruto franchise. The problem is that the story sometimes gives the impression that new mysteries are being added faster than existing ones are being resolved.

There is also a noticeable pacing issue. Months can pass between chapters, yet individual chapters sometimes feel as though they contain relatively little forward movement. Important characters disappear for extended periods, major conflicts are interrupted, and certain developments that should carry enormous emotional weight are quickly pushed aside for the next plot point.
>>
>>290820572
>There is also a noticeable pacing issue.

It's just this. It's way too slow.
>>
>>290820552
>>290820572
This becomes especially frustrating because Two Blue Vortex is supposed to be the continuation that finally brings many of the unresolved ideas from Boruto toward their conclusion. Instead, the story occasionally feels as though it is expanding its mythology faster than it is progressing toward an ending.

Another major concern is the characterization.

Boruto himself has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in the franchise. His exile, the consequences of omnipotence, his separation from Naruto and Hinata, and his decision to continue protecting the village despite being branded an enemy could have created an incredibly powerful psychological storyline.

Yet there are times when the emotional consequences of these events feel strangely understated.

Boruto has essentially lost his entire previous life. His family has been taken from him, his reputation has been destroyed, his friends have been manipulated into believing a false reality, and he has spent years being hunted. Those circumstances should have an enormous impact on his mentality.
>>
>>290818885
This little shit is the cause of everything because it looks like Madara was actually considering it.
>>
>>290820552
>>290820552
>>290820572
Instead, the story sometimes moves so quickly from one plot development to another that the emotional weight of Boruto’s situation doesn’t receive the attention it deserves.

The same problem can be seen with Kawaki.

Kawaki’s motivations are understandable, but his actions have become increasingly extreme. His decision to manipulate reality, imprison Naruto and Hinata, and eliminate Boruto creates the foundation for one of the most important conflicts in the entire franchise. However, the story needs to continually explore the psychological consequences of that decision rather than treating it simply as the mechanism that moves the plot forward.

The battle side of the manga also deserves criticism.

The original Naruto series became famous not only because of its mythology but because its fights had emotional meaning. Naruto versus Sasuke, Naruto versus Pain, Sakura and Chiyo versus Sasori, Shikamaru versus Hidan, Rock Lee versus Gaara, and many others worked because the combat reflected the characters’ personalities, philosophies, relationships, and growth.

Two Blue Vortex has introduced incredibly powerful abilities, but raw power alone does not create memorable fights.
>>
>>290818959
>it took hashirama, tobirama, and multuple other senju clan members to take madara down
the uchiha are the strongest. it's that simple and I shan't hear otherwise.
>>
>>290820552
>>290820572
>>290820596
>>290820619
When characters can reach absurd levels of strength, battles need increasingly clever strategy and emotional stakes to compensate. Otherwise, fights can become demonstrations of new abilities rather than genuine conflicts between characters.

This is particularly noticeable with the older generation.

Characters such as Sarada, Mitsuki, Sakura, Konohamaru, Shikamaru, and the other surviving members of the previous generation have enormous narrative potential. Yet many of them remain underutilized while the story increasingly focuses on Boruto, Kawaki, Code, Jura, and the Divine Trees.

Boruto’s sequel should obviously focus on Boruto. But that doesn’t mean the supporting cast should become spectators.

Sarada in particular has a massive unresolved storyline involving her Mangekyō Sharingan, her feelings toward Boruto, her position within the Uchiha legacy, and her ambition to become Hokage. Mitsuki’s relationship with Boruto and his identity crisis also remain important. These characters need meaningful development rather than occasional appearances.

There is also the question of the larger mythology.

The Ōtsutsuki storyline has continued expanding, but the more the story introduces concepts such as Shibai, Shinjutsu, Divine Trees, Jura, future visions, and increasingly powerful abilities, the more important it becomes to establish a clear hierarchy and purpose for these concepts.

Otherwise, the danger is that the story begins feeling like an endless escalation of mythology rather than the conclusion of the Naruto saga.

The biggest issue for me is therefore not simply pacing.

It is narrative focus.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has the opportunity to become the final major chapter of the Naruto saga. It has the characters, history, mysteries, and conflicts necessary to create an incredible conclusion.

But the story needs to start answering questions instead of constantly creating new ones.
>>
>>290818977

You mean get uppity, Hashi?
>>
>>290820572
>>290820596
>>290820619
>>290820647
>>290820675
What exactly is the ultimate purpose of the Ōtsutsuki?

What is the significance of Boruto’s special abilities?

Where is the Jougan?

What exactly is Kashin Koji’s role in the future?

How will omnipotence ultimately be resolved?

What happens to Naruto and Hinata?

What will happen between Boruto and Kawaki?

How does Sarada’s dream of becoming Hokage fit into the final conflict?

And, most importantly, what is the actual endpoint of Boruto’s story?

The longer these questions remain unresolved while additional concepts are introduced, the more difficult it becomes to tell whether the story is carefully building toward a predetermined conclusion or simply expanding because there are still more ideas to explore.

I don’t want Boruto: Two Blue Vortex to rush its ending. Quite the opposite—I want it to take the time necessary to properly resolve its characters and mysteries.

But I also don’t want the story to fall into the trap of endlessly postponing its most important answers.

The Naruto franchise deserves a conclusion that feels deliberate, emotionally satisfying, and earned.

Two Blue Vortex still has the potential to deliver that.

But at this point, the story needs to demonstrate that all of these mysteries, characters, powers, and conflicts are ultimately leading somewhere meaningful—not simply toward the next mystery.

Its even worse than that. Hashirama who at this point must have killed dozens of Uchiha in at least self defense or to save comrades is suddenly against killing this one particular Uchiha as if because they shared a thought once, this one is special and the key to saving the ninja world. It's racist and offensive and really shows he actually thinks very little of the average Uchiha.

Fucking hilarious that Izuna is mortally wounded on the battlefield, surrounded by enemies, and potentially his last words aren't, "Wait brother, its too late for me, but maybe others can be spared...", but for a man who might not be alive tomorrow, he instead says, "No brother, keep the blood feud going, even if it means lots of Uchiha kids will die like me. Do not under any circunstances ever agree to peace with the Uchiha, even if it means you die too... UGH... its all going dark... remember what I said... millions must die..."

>>290821315
The Uchihas were already starting to admit defeat to the Senjus, and Madara seemed to be the only one that still forced bloodshed between the clans. I think it's pretty reasonable to want to kill him.
>>
>>290821473
Hashirama hasn't said "nobody will ever kill Madara and Madara will go home scot free after today no matter what happens now". He's still trying to talk, and he asked if there was any way to convince him. Later on we see what Hashirama does when his back is against the wall and he has to take tough measures. Honestly I don't think Hashirama is being too nice here, even though he was too nice earlier when he accommodated Sasuke so much despite the current war.
>>
>>290821543
Doesn't he literally try to kill himself in the next chapter at Madara's request, after which Tobirama would have most likely killed Madara? It's retarded no matter how you look at it.
>>
>>290821609
Yes, that shows he's a saint and self sacrificial but that doesn't mean he's not practical. Had Madara said "no you can't convince me, I'll come back tomorrow" then Hashirama would've killed him just like he did years later when they fought (or so he thought but Madara cheated reality). It might not be 100% rational, but it definitely makes sense for someone with an ideal to go to these lengths, he'd hate the idea of winning like that.
>>
It really doesnt make any sense that Hashi and Madara clashed several times and they both lived. That's for stories like One Piece where human durability is way off into comedic fantasy tier, and you can survive battleships being dropped on your head, especially when it's like a flashback to the old timers, theres even an element of their legend having some myth to it and not being entirely true, but none of that applies here. This instead is a world where a tiny poison tipped needle can be deadly, and giant psychic samurai throw neverending black flame-wreathed katana at you. How did one or the other of them leave after a loss? They even say Madara never even ended up on his back once (boy, the gay shit just wont stop), how is that possible?

>>
>>290822075
No, Madara obviously had a special place in his heart. There's a context to this. Hashirama would still go out of his way to try and make peace talks possible but he wouldn't kill himself for a random enemy. For Madara, it makes sense as part of his idealist mindset and the relationship he had with him.

By the way I criticized the chapter in multiple parts but this is perfectly fine. Shit like Vinland gets a pass for far worse.

Stupid reductionism. They met on a daily basis for a while, shared their pain and the loss of their kin, trained together and shared the dream of changing things so that children like them wouldn't have to die anymore. They were close enough that they'd rather betray their clan by warning the other with the stone trick. Of fucking course Hashirama feels something for Madara, and the other way around as well.

Fuck Hashirama, faggot doomed the world to completely unnecessary death, war and heartbreak because he couldn't get over a fleeting childhood friendship even when Madara was saying to his face through years of conflict that he needed to let it go.
Tobirama should've been the first hokage. He actually cared about the security and longevity of the village over personal feelings and if the Uchiha actually had gotten uppity after Madara's death he wouldn't have hesitated to wipe the remnants of their dogshit clan out while they were in a weakened state.
>>
>>290821410
>Oh just noticed. Izuna didn't died at war. Madara still needs to steal eyes from his bubba.

Yes he did. Izuna died from that wound Tobirama gave him. Madara later confirms that he hates Tobirama for it much much more than he hates Hashirama.

Racism aside, it was never going to work out, not with Madara's brother dead.

>>290822534
Stupid holism.
None of that makes Hashirama's attitude here any less retarded or forced, especially when he just got pissed at Tobirama for wanting to kill him. If Hashirama killed himself, Madara would have definitely gotten killed afterwards, too.
And also Hashirama literally tells him that if he dies, another Uchiha will take his place to avenge him. He clearly didn't want to kill Madara here.

This manga sucks, your criticism too. There's nothing wrong with Hashirama trying to make things happen through diplomacy and getting tense at his trigger happy brother trying to finish off his not-boyfriend while he's trying to talk things out with him. Most of the time it's Kishimoto being a trash mangaka, sometimes it's actually just a (You) issue.

Idk anon, I think you're just a massive retard if you can't see how pretentious this is. Most people would look at this dialogue and realize how melodramatic and autistic it all is.

None of these words or lines are weird or unreasonable.

It's absolute bullshit. Naruto's rasengan has destroyed a metal water tower by blowing out the back of it but every time he hits anyone with it, they're just stunned. Kunai and shuriken should shatter upon impact if these guys are so durable they can be thrown into mountains and shatter them while walking away unharmed. Unless we're to believe shuriken are thrown with chakra embedded in them or some stupid shit.

>>
>>290823275
If they are then there'd be no point in dodging shuriken/kunai thrown by a lesser opponent. It means if, say, Konohamaru ran up to Naruto with a kunai and tried to stab him, and assuming Naruto could see it coming, he could just brace for it and it'd bounce off of him like a man trying to stab a boulder with a butter knife.
>>
>>290823235
The only reason rasengan did anything to the water tank, retard, was the amount of water the tank had. When striking other opponents not only they would try to minimize the damage by coating the target of the attack with chakra, their bodies also are much more complicated than a simple watertank which would make it more difficult for the liquid in their bodies to go nuts in the same way the water in the watertank was able to

It's retarded. There's no defending it. Kishi is a fucking coward and needed to keep Naruto "pure" so he allows his main attack to just tucker them out. At least the chidori has actually killed people, the Rasengan, despite being based on a god damn city-destroying biju bomb, just stuns people.

>>290823710
Are you literally so braindead you cannot comprehend that a human body isn't even remotely close in its structure to a watertank? Again the water is spread out throughout the body in a way it never will be in a water tank. there are bones and meat in the way and that's not to mention chakra
>>
>>290823689
It's a good thing there are absolutely no sharp, jagged rocks in a mountain.
>>
>>290823792
Naruto was throwing the rasenshuriken to cut mountains in half and it's been shown to absolutely destroy inanimate objects it has collided with. It's only when it hits a human that it somehow does nothing beyond making them really tired.
>>
>>290823792
The metal used to make that water tank should logically be much more durable than the flesh of any human.
Even if we go with the excuse that people just concentrarem chakra when they get hit, it still feels contrived that all these characters had the time to defend themselves with chakra but not dodge the damn move.
>>
>>290823792
>rasengan mainpulates water (never stated in canon) so a full steel water tank takes MORE damage than a human fucking body
back in my day, bait was believable

Btw, later on Naruto will cut Madara in half with a rasengan and that only happened because Madara wouldn't die from it.
>>
>>290823929
But it's ok, he did just enough damage to Kakuzu to leave him at 1hp! That way Kakashi can finish him off and Naruto stays squeaky clean! Because there's an enormous difference between killing someone and rendering them incapacitated so someone else can kill them!

In the anime, some of the other Uchihas asked Fugaku if they should take the Sharingan back from Kakashi, but he told them to respect Obito's wishes.

So while not "canon", it's pretty easy to imagine something like that happening since Kakashi having it was well known

It is genuinely hilarious how similar "Damn Uchiha, a clan of pure evil, they should all die" Tobirama and "My last dying words are reminding you not to ever trust any of those dirty Senju, all they know is deception" Izuna seem to be. People talk about Madara and Hashirama's relationship, but the real tragedy is that Tobirama and Izuna weren't born into the same clan so they could both channel and combine their collective racism against a common target.
>>
>>290822535

>>
>>290825483
Kishi didn't know if he wanted his manga to be incredibly grim and dark with children killing each other nonstop or not, so there's all these allusions early on to killing in Naruto which get phased out as Naruto goes from "protect my friends and be true to my word" to "I will never kill anyone for world peace".

Rasenshuriken is a completely different jitsu with a completely different effect.

It's not about metal being more durable retard it's about metal being only capable keeping calm water in. Rasengan transfers its rotational power to the huge amount of water inside the tank which in result compromises its integrity and blows its back out precisely becausea huge amount of water which supposed to be sitting still starts moving chaotically
>>290823916
You dumb retard the implications is clear. Naruto puts a slight dent into the spot rasengan directly hit yet the back of the tank is completely wrecked.

I know this is told from Hashirama's POV, but it kinda glosses over how much of an asshole Madara was while a part of Konoha like we saw in Ohnoki's flashback. If Hashirama knew about that then I doubt he'd think the village would ever accept him as the second Hokage.

There's something there but Kishi does a horrible job making the falling out believable. Also there's supposedly all this anti-Uchiha sentiment that only ever comes from Tobirama: every Uchiha loves the village and tells Madara fuck off we're not leaving.

Was the childhood flashback really necessary? Why do we need Hashirama and Madara to be childhood friends instead of enemy adults who found a common ground? Why does the foundation of the hidden leaf rests on a pinky promise that a middle schooler made to another middle schooler?

It doesn't feel even feel like both of them are actual enemies battling each other. As if they are the same children they used to be, playing a game. Heck, Madara still thinks of it as a game. Tobirama seems to be the only one who is taking this shit seriously.

I was under the impression Hashirama gave up the title because he died early or something, but everybody seems to take it as a given that the second Hokage is going to be named extremely soon. Was the Hokage-title originally intended to be a temporary job only with a high turnover rate? What the hell was Sarutobi doing staying in office for 50 years

So in summary, madara got butt hurt that he didn’t get to become hokage and also that his clan thinks he’s a fucking asshole and don’t want to hang around him. So now he’s going to go get him a nine tails and destroy the village so he can put them in an infinite genjustu because tobirama was right.

It's bad optics though. Like most people harbor some level of aversion to law enforcement. Maybe in a 100% safe society cops are loved nonstop but in a place like the world of Naruto, It's understandable that keeping a clan as the police force for decades will only paint them as dogs of the state. Any insult A honorable citizen uses to describe cops will unconsciously register as an insult to the Uchiha

Kishimoto probably thought that his middle school audiences would relate to this simpleton moral dilemma crap. That's probably why hashi and madara NEED to be children. And konoha needs to be built on the basis of a child's promise.

I get what Kishi was going for but he did a very poor job of fleshing it out. Madara gives up on the village as a way to achieve peace because he realizes that no matter how much they try to get along one group will always try to come out on top over the others, and their members will resort to their tribalism when shit hits the fan instead of truly cooperating. By forcing eachother to cooperate they're just prolonging the inevitable. So Madara says fuck that and wants to achieve true peace in his own way instead of believing in puppies and rainbows like Hashirama. That's my interpretation of what was set up here anyways. Not a bad idea but again it's not written well enough
>>
>>290850370
well... yeah. diplomacy and politics are all about controlling power and making sure no one gets retarded while being under the impression there's equality when it's really one or two who actually matter. madara simply prefers to fight than sit at parlament because his mouth is not as good as his eyes

Not all Uchiha,

But always an Uchiha.
>>
>>290843748
Headcanon obviously but I think a good reason the Uchihas decided to distrust Madara is because he was the one who put them up to allying with the Senju in the first place, which many of them went along with probably reluctantly, and now that a period of peace was finally reached after a long time of fighting and losing their brethren he comes in and says welp screw this we gotta bail. They decide to tell him to fuck off and give this village project a chance because they're tired of further conflict more than anything and want to settle on something longterm for once

Really feels like Madara got pissy that Tobirama shit talked him behind his back and sperged out (which in turn made things WORSE for the Uchiha)

Hiruzen called them brothers in their first appearance. It wasn't entirely clear then if he meant they were brothers, or whether he was calling them HIS "brothers" as fellow Hokages, but seeing as how the databooks and manga later confirmed the former it was probably intended all along.
