Summary
Upon returning to Konoha, Boruto displayed a cold and determined approach, more like a Sasuke clan leader like Sasuke than an emotional Uzumaki like his father. Boruto’s identity may have been influenced by Momoshiki’s influence, Eida’s “Omnipotence” ability, and his long time spent with Sasuke. Boruto showed no emotion when meeting his sister Hiwamari, nor did he show anger when seeing Kawaki, the man who took his life. Instead, Boruto just focuses on his mission.
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex: Chapter 3while Boruto’His long-awaited return to Konoha aroused many emotions from those he once called family, friends and mentors, the hero himself seemed distant from his family and village. , at least emotionally. Indeed, Boruto seems to have accepted that he is no longer an Uzumaki or a full-fledged citizen of the village, and he is behaving more like his master Sasuke.
Boruto has had identity problems since the defeated Momoshiki Otsutuski carved his karma onto Boruto. As a result, he became closely attached to the Otsutsuki Clan, gradually succumbing to Momoshiki’s influence. Furthermore, in Boruto (Part I) chapter #66, due to his death and resurrection, the resurrected Boruto resembles Otsutsuki more than Uzumaki.
The latest attack on his identity was when in Boruto Part I chapter #79, Kawaki and Eida combined their powers to unleash Eida’s “Omnipotence” ability, the ability to rewrite the majority of memories of humanity to believe that Boruto was never Uzumaki. However, contrary to expectations, When Boruto returned to Konoha after three years, he seemed to have fully accepted his new identity.as shown in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter #3.
Boruto’s reaction when seeing Hiwamari and Kawaki was surprisingly cold
When Boruto returned to Konoha, nothing in his attitude and demeanor suggested he wanted to regain his former Uzumaki identity. This is most clearly illustrated in the scene with his sister Himawari. In that scene, Himawari arrives at the location where both Boruto and Kawaki are. Due to the influence of Eida’s Omnipotent Power, she no longer understands Boruto as her brother – although she at least has a strange feeling about this whole situation. However, despite not seeing or speaking to his sister in three years, all Boruto could muster during their first contact was a cold look.
His cold reaction is made clear by the fact that before Eida turned the whole world against him, Boruto and Himawari were very close, but no warmth or feeling came from Boruto. Although the interaction was brief, it seems Boruto now has other priorities. In reality, Boruto also surprisingly lacks emotional response towards Kawaki. essentially the one who took his life. Upon seeing him in Konoha, Boruto did not take his focus away from Code and Kara’s mission to find the Ten-Tails.
Boruto is now more like the Uzumaki clan than the Uzumaki
Such a cold and single-minded approach was more suitable for an Uzumaki than an Uzumaki.. Sure, Sasuke, Boruto’s master, who he has been with for the past three years, is known for not showing emotions and being devoted to his mission or goals almost to the point of obsession. No one would blame Boruto if he immediately went after Kawaki for taking his life, or for showing emotion at seeing his sister again. Instead, the new Boruto that fans appreciated in the second part of the story is far removed from his father, who is known for showing his emotions and often acting on instinct.
It’s safe to say that, at least for now, Boruto has fully accepted his current situation and isn’t wasting time – or emotion – trying to change it. Instead, like Sasuke, he abandoned everything else to focus on the task at hand, proving that Boruto had truly changed over the past three years, to the point where he was no longer considered an Uzumaki.
