I seem weirdly into titles like this for this series, huh? At least- when I can come up with titles for these reviews. Yeah, I phoned in that title last month. Maybe the “objective” of the chapter was to unspecific- maybe I was just having a “bad day” last time. Who knows. But what I will say: This is fine. I saw some people hating on it already as Ani-Twitter tends to do when it comes to certain panels. This can be anything from Sarada’s current fit– to the conclusion of the Anti Boys vs Lucifero– to…………… the second to last panel of this chapter. That panel is closer to the “Black Clover” point- the “Disnification” trend people keep talking about; when series does something…………….. overly “light hearted” like Chibification. I assume that you guys have already read the chapter; I don’t know WHY I keep dancing around “Big Reveals” like this. I’m still going to; it’s just a bad habit I can’t seem to kick. Another “bad habit” I can’t seem to kick is not having a good “lead-in” to the next point. I know I’ve been trying a lot to have at least 2 paragraphs to open a post so I can start the “Overview” section with an image. Ah…………………..
…………………….! I’m still working on a Mass Review, as well. But more because “I’m So F*cking Far Behind On Other Series” rather than because of a monthly. I honestly forgot about this month’s “Boruto” this time around. Maybe because Dragon Ball Super’s on break this month. Eh; whatever- I’d rather they some time to plan what they’re gonna do next without Toriyama(May He Rest in Peace); they can take all the time they need. Uh…………. I think that’s all I can muster right now; on with the chapter! Boruto- Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9: “Nine Tails.” THAT was intentional on their part, and you know it.
Overview
Picking Up From Last Chapter: Jura and Hidari have invaded The Leaf Village, searching for Naruto. But in following the traces of Nine Tails Chakra- they find themselves standing before Himawari and Current Era Ino-Shika-Cho. It’s a REAL surprise for them, actually. Shikadai gets in contact with the Sensory Unit to get some backup, trying to keep them talking to buy time. Jura pulls out this little book, which is apparently an Info book on Konoha Shinobi(no idea where he got some of this sh!t, but okay), recalling Shikadai as the son of the current Hokage- and student under Moegi Kazamatsuri(Matsuri’s Genetic Source). But they admit to having “business” with the 7th Hokage before anything else- at least until they found Himawari. He doesn’t know why Himawari is producing Nine Tails chakra, but…………. He can work with that. He uses a Wood Style attack to capture Hima, but Shikadai acts quick enough to break her free. In one fell swoop, Team 10 shows just how well they work together in rescuing her- impressing Jura enough to give the Trio a “Word of Warning:” They are here for Himawari Uzumaki. If they stop resisting and hand her over- they’re gone. REFUSE, and……….. They Go On The “Offensive.”
Shikamaru gets in contact with Shikadai, who informs him of the Intruder’s goals. Then we cut to see Amado watching the events that are transpiring, even seeing Kawaki down for the count. Then over to Boruto who’s looking at his Karma Mark. “No Rest For The Weary,” however- Koji sees through a Toad that the Divine Trees are on the rampage in Konoha. So Boruto uses “Flying Raijn” to get back into the Village. Battle Area: Shikadai- still in contact with Shikamaru- asks how their search for Naruto lead them to Himawari. Jura responds that they were simply following the chakra of the Nine Tails and found it in Himawari. They don’t know why, but they hope to gain information by eating her. Shikamaru dispatches some reinforcements when one of Koji’s Toads informs him that Boruto is back. Kawaki and Delta: Kawaki wakes up, getting chewed out by Delta for his recklessness. Not that he cares since he can feel someone much more important is back in the Village……………..
Boruto shows up in the vicinity of Jura’s initial attack, receiving a call from Shikamaru once more about the Divine Trees and their objective. But the conversation is cut off at the Good part when Kawaki(And Delta, For What it’s Worth)arrives on the scene, informing the Sensory Unit of their location. Boruto cuts his call with Shikamaru short, as Kawaki starts asking him questions. But Boruto reminds him that they have a Far Greater Problem on their hands at the moment. But Kawaki isn’t taking his eyes off of Boruto, initiating the attack. But much like with Code– Boruto proves to be Far Stronger than any of his contemporaries coming back from his 3 Year Adventure. He puts Kawaki back on the ground and it wasn’t even difficult- to the point where Delta wonders just what kind of training he’s been through. As such, Kawaki decides to “even the playing field” with Karma. And because they have this “Resonance” going on- Boruto’s activates against his wishes. And that forces Boruto to flee. Kawaki realizes that Boruto is having some kind of trouble control his Karma mark…………
Battlefield: Inojin takes Himawari to the sky with a Bird Drawing, allowing Shikadai and Cho-Cho to get the jump on him. Shikadai manages to trap him in “Shadow Paralysis,” but, uh……………….. The Divine Tree’s are Chakra Beasts- just like the Tailed Beast. As such- they have access to Certain Abilities such as the Biju-Dama/Tailed Beast Bomb. From one of his Rinnegan. Cho-Cho uses “Partial Expansion” to knock it off course(and also may have interrupted the Full Charge), but, uh………… BIJU DAMA. So there’s still a sizeable explosion. Shikadai and Cho-Cho take the chance to hop on Inojin’s drawing and put some distance between themselves and the Invaders. And Jura…………….. kinda let’s it happen; he’s too caught up in the concept that they’re willing to risk DEATH to protect a singular person other than themselves. Hidari writes it off as Sheer Stupidity, but Jura says they’re might be something more to it than a simple “lack of intelligence.” And Jura wants to know what that something is…………….
Shikadai figures they probably won’t risk killing Himawari, so they’re at least safe from another Biju Dama. So they decide to take this fight out of Konoha while they have the chance. But Himawari has ANOTHER idea, and it involves Escaping them on her own. They tell her there’s no way in h#ll they’re letting her do that, but she refuses to hear any of it, not wanting to put them in danger. But she ends up getting cut off by a Trance- one that takes her to the Biju Space we’d often see Naruto in. A voice behind her is surprised that Ten Tails would be able to sniff him out. Himawari turns around to see a Baby Kurama standing before her, asking if she knows who he is. She recognizes him right away because- you know- The Tails. Boruto- Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9 END!! That. That’s what people were so upset about. THEY see this and say “Disney Series-“ I see this and hear the word “MERCHANDISE!!!”
REVIEW
Biggest Thing First: Kurama is back. Which we could ki~nd of anticipate; he never said his “Death” after Baryon Mode would be permanent, yeah? Tailed Beast just “reform” in the world once their Jinchuriki die. But Naruto wasn’t the one to die back their- it was Kurama. And he knew what would happen from the start. And the WAY he phrased it back then- he implied that this time was gonna be a little different from when a Jinchuriki dies. They’re Chakra; they’ll always come back- memories and all. Because “Chakra” is a Binding Force above all else; it’s an energy that connects people’s thoughts and emotions to one another- a way of being able to understand each other and achieve peace without even needing to exchange words. Those times when Naruto and Sasuke would enter that “Shared Mental Space-” an actual representation of what Hagaromo intended it to do. And it’s because it’s such a “Binding Force-” the Tailed Beast cannot die. Or it might be more accurate to say “Their Flesh Doesn’t Wither.” They’re energy will just………. spread out for a while before coming together to form the Chakra Beasts we’ve come to know, yeah? “They Think, Therefore They Are-” they’ll exist indefinitely…………… unless they’re sacrificed to remake that original Ten Tails or absorbed by the God Tree to make the Chakra Fruit.
But you see the point: They always come back somewhere in the world. This time; Kurama ended up reincarnating in Himawari(PAUSE).Why? We won’t know what the details are until next month’s chapter, but the core idea is because of her similar chakra signature to her father. He couldn’t reincarnate within Naruto because the man himself isn’t on the planet anymore. And I’m assuming he couldn’t choose Boruto because of his other unwanted invader, as I speculated in the previous post. So the only choice was Himawari. That or he’d just reincarnate somewhere else in the world randomly. But I think that- if he could choose where he “respawns-” he’d choose somewhere close to Naruto- the person who likely matters the most to him. Now he can protect someone important to Naruto again- unlike when their relationship STARTED with him killing Naruto’s Parents. Maybe he’s also trying to make up for that. But right now, he’s…………… honestly no bigger than Himawari herself, from the looks of it. It’s hard to tell when it comes to “Mindscape Size Scaling-” Kurama appeared to Naruto larger, but this is a Kurama that’s likely still building his power back up. But even still– Chibi Kurama probably has more chakra than anyone in Konoha. Aside from maybe Kawaki and Daemon.
And it’s still the chakra signature that the Divine Tree’s were following. So I have to question: Was it really Naruto that Jura is after? Or………. is it Kurama? ‘Cause he’s confirmed in this chapter that he’s switching targets to Himawari. It’s clear why Matsuri and Hidari are after their targets- and even Bug’s Tree makes sense, considering how long he was around Eida. And then there’s Jura, who’s Genetic Source is only assumed to be……………………………….
