Warning: SPOILERS for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter #7Boruto: Two blue tornadoes is fixing many of Boruto season 1’s flaws, including giving all Naruto characters at least one relatable moment. This includes one of the least important characters in the entire series, Ino Yamanakawho is revealed to have an important role in the new Konoha under the guidance of Hokage Shikamaru.
In chapter #7 of Boruto: Two Bluie Vortex, Ino acts as Shikamaru’s number two and she proves herself to be a responsible person. On the one hand, by providing access to past mission logs, she contributed to Shikamaru realizing that he was under the influence of Omnipotence and that Boruto – not Kawaki – was the Naruto’s true son.
On the other hand, after Shikamaru’s epiphany, Ino facilitated sealed coded communications between Shikamaru and Boruto without Eida’s clairvoyance or Konoha’s vaunted Sensory Unit being able to listen in their conversation.

One of the most interesting elements of the Naruto-Boruto series is the deep diversity of its cast of characters. From fire-breathing shinobi to space tyrants, the land of the Five Hidden Villages is home to a wide variety of individuals, all with interesting backgrounds that fans could spend years exploring break. However, with such a large cast, it’s often the case that a character falls through the cracks, not receiving enough attention.
As Naruto fans will recall, Ino was once a classmate of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. There was a time when Ino and Sakura both competed for Sasuke’s affections, which led to a rift between the two good friends that was only resolved after their fight during the final test of the Chunin Exams. Currently, as the leader of the Yamanaka Clan, she is one of the few female clan leaders. Yamanaka is known for his sensory perception and mental control. Thanks to her skills in these areas, Ino is widely known as the ninja with the best senses in Konohaleads the village’s first line of defense – the Barricade Team.
Ino finds herself at the center of a grand conspiracy
But most relevant to her role in Boruto is Ino’s telepathy. Certainly, Ino’s ability to read other people’s minds, communicate without speaking, and influence or control the thoughts, emotions, or actions of others is almost perfect in an environment. that life exists under harsh conditions. Eida’s ever-watchful eye and where the Sensory Unit continuously monitors citizens for threats that go against Kawaki’s wishes. Indeed, as Konoha seems to have become almost a police state in the passing of time, Ino’s role and skills may soon become necessary.
It’s also great for fans to see Ino has taken on a larger role as the Hokage’s assistant. As former partners of Team 10, they understand each other perfectly. Shikamaru knows that Ino’s ability to communicate secretly will be essential to successfully coordinate all the help and support they can give Boruto in his efforts to foil Kawaki’s plans. However, this requires both Shikamaru and Ino to maintain knowledge of the Omnipotence, something that seems impossible at the moment. It’s been a while since Ino Yamanaka relevant but it’s nice to see that Boruto: Two blue tornadoes knows how to use its rich cast of characters.
