Highlights:
Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 is an upcoming issue in the Naruto franchise and, according to the Manga Plus website, will be available for fans to read on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 08:30 PM IST. Being the last issue of 2024, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 will introduce fans to the most brutal dual between Team 7 and Team Shinki against Ryu and Matsuri.
The latest issue saw a short conversation between Kashin Koji via Toad and Shikamaru, where he suggested a way to save Gaara and Shinki from the God Tree. He says,
Sarutobi Konoharu, Uchiha Sarada, and Mitsuri. Deploy those three to the land of winds.
This suggestion came after Koji witnessed the future events with the Ten Directions, his new form ability. With this, he predicts God Trees’ next move of attacking Sunagakure and capturing Gaara. It makes sense since Gaara was the prime target of Sentient God Tree, Ryu. Moreover, Konohamaru’s involvement in the mission would ignite hype for the most awaited battle between the two former friends.
With his involvement, fans can expect Matsuri to face Konohamaru since he is her prime target.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 likely focuses on Team 7 battle with Matsuri and Ryu with the assistant of Shinki’s team. Since Konohamaru is the target of Matsuri and there’s no sign of Gaara in the long-range, Ryu probably helps his fellow God Tree in her battle. There is a possibility of seeing Sarada Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan abilities along Mitsuri Snake Sage mode.
Unfortunately, while writing the article, there’s no way of telling what will happen next in the series. Plus, there are no verified spoilers available on the internet. Now, there is one month before the official release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17, fans can depend on the internet theories.
According to one popular theory, the upcoming issue will focus on the character development of Konohamaru, Sarada, and Mitsuki, with no presence of Boruto and Kawaki in the entire chapter.

The incident occurred after Kashin Koji predicted the God Trees’ next move to capture Kazekage Gaara in the Land of Wind. With the prediction, he also suggests sending Sarutobi Konoharu, Uchiha Sarada, and Mitsuri, who will be assisted there by Shinki’s team.
Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 is the last issue of this year and will cover one of the most exciting panels where the two former friends try to kill each other.

Sarada and Mitsuki will help Konohamaru regain his sense and get him back on the mission. Overall, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter will be a fun ride for fans witnessing the most brutal battle of the series.

Konohamaru, Sarada, And Mitsuki Vs. Matsuri And Ryu
Two Blue Vortex Chapter 16 teases the forthcoming battle between Team 7 and the God Trees. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see Matsuri in action, and the wait will be over with the previous team members facing each other in the upcoming issue. Matsuri “Moegi” will try to kill Konohamaru since he is her prime target and help Ryu break the seal of Gaara put by Shinki in Chapter 15.
There’s also a conformation between the two former friends who become enemies where we can see the flashback of how Moegi turned into a tree.
Currently, there are no spoilers available on the internet, but we can guess Moegi’s transformation to Matsuri has something to do with Konohamaru, which makes the situation more emotional for fans.
Fans following Two Blue Vortex will understand that Sasuke clone “Hidari” wants to devour Sarada because he cares about him, and the same with Moegi since she cares about Konohamaru, which makes him her prime target.
Further, fans can expect to see Konohamaru’s new Jutsu, and likely use them to keep her busy, till Sarada uses her Chidori on her. Fans don’t know how strong Matsuri is, but given the status of all the God Trees, she’s likely at or above the level of the Kage.
Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 will focus more on Matsuri and Konohamaru’s battle, and Ryu’s against Sarada and Mitsuki will keep sideline.

What To Expect From Chapter 17
The Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 opens up where Chapter 16 left off, with Ryu and Matsuri invading Sunagakure while looking for Gaara. They want to devour Kazakage and complete Ryu’s motive in the series. Before they can accomplish their objective, Konohamaru, Sarada, and Mitsuki stand as an obstacle. After Kashin Koji suggested Shikamaru sends his best unit, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Konoamaru. He even suggests not to engage with Jura if he appears. This proves that Kashin Koji saw something that may have to do with Konohamaru, Sarada, and Mitsuki. Therefore, he clearly stated their names in Chapter 16, indicating their involvement in the upcoming battles with God Trees.
Fans following Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will know that Matsuki’s prime target is Konohamaru, yet he recommends his name for the Gaara rescue mission, indicating that Koji Ten Direction ability benefits. He may have seen something that has to do with Konohamaru and Matsuri that may affect the future.
There’s a possibility that Konohamaru and Matsuki will face off against each other, and she will try to kill him. However, he may overcome his emotions and defeat her. Konohamaru was introduced as a perfect candidate for the position of future Hokage.
But in Two Blue Vortex, he’s just become a punching bag where anyone can knock him out. Finally, fans can witness Konoharu’s strength in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17. He will not only defeat Matsuri but be able to rescue Gaara.
Talking about the Gaara rescue mission, Sarada and Mitsuki will play a role in providing Konohamaru help. They could keep him busy while their sensi will fight with Matsuki.
Boruto: Two Blue Chapter 17 could highlight Sarada Magako Saringan and Mitsuki Snake Sage mode. It is one of the most talked-about chapters and will answer fans many questions.
Talking about Boruto, he revealed that he will not be appearing in the upcoming issue and beyond as he and Kawaki are training together.
Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 16: Recap
Two Blue Vortex Chapter 16 opens with a flashback of Boruto and Kashin Koji having their first lengthy conversation after Chapter 13. Kashin Koji tells the protagonist about the spacetime ninjutsu. He says,
It instantly transports you or other people anywhere.
It is similar to the Ohtsutsuki flying ability.
It tells Boruto that he manifested Ohtsutsuki’s flying ability many times in past, but unconsciously. However, in about six years, he will manage to master the flying technique. However, it is not an Ohtsutsuki’s but his ninjutsu which enables him to move freely and instantly wherever he wants. And the name of the technique is ‘Flying Raijin jutsu.”
Kashin Koji further says,
The similar jutsu favoured by his grandfather, Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage.
The scene shifted, and we saw him practising the Flying Raijin Thundergod. He starts with the shuriken and kunai to transport himself from one place to another. He wraps the chakra around those metal tools to use the technique to its full potential. Later, fans learn about the drawbacks of Boruto’s new jutsu. The tools used should be in his visual range to transport from places. According to Koji, if he uses the same appearance tools, then it is challenging to transport the exact place. However, to eliminate this drawback, he must consider using symbols.
As have you who will likely see this sooner or later, Eida. — Kashin Koji
Kashin Koji already saw with his Ten Direction ability that Eida would use her Omnipotence to look at them.
Back to the present, Sarada and Eida have a conversation where the Uchiha asks if she finds anything about Boruto. She said to leave Boruto alone as he didn’t want them to be involved in the battle against Sentient God Trees.
The latest issue ends with Kashin Koji suggesting Shikamaru send Konohamaru, Mitski, and Sarada to a Land Of Wind. They will be accompanied by two Sand shinobi who will guide them in Gaara’s rescue mission. Further, he suggests not letting Himawari out of the village since Jura has his eyes on her. If they do, Himawari will get killed.
Moreover, they shouldn’t try to provoke Jura by any means. The ninja world currently is in no position to take on Jura. In the final panel of Two Blue Vortex, fans noticed Ryu and Matsuri arrived in the Land of Wind and Konohamaru, Mitsuki, and Sarada spying on them from far away.
