In the latest chapter of the Boruto manga, there is a love scene between Boruto and Mitsuki. Mitsuki initially wanted to kill Boruto, believing he was responsible for Kawaki’s death.
However, after learning that Boruto did not actually kill the Seventh Hokage and was not an enemy, Mitsuki decided not to do it.
During their conversation, Boruto told Mitsuki that he was his “sun” – something Mitsuki had said before to show how much Boruto meant to him. This was surprising because Mitsuki had never directly told Boruto that he looked at him that way.
This raises some interesting questions – how does Boruto know he is Mitsuki’s precious “sun”? Does he know about how Mitsuki viewed him in a time that hasn’t been shown in the manga?
The scene hints at the character’s growth and a deeper relationship between the two friends.
Boruto’s potential spoilers and Orochimaru’s influence
Chapter 7 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex focuses a lot on Mitsuki’s inner turmoil. Initially seeking to kill Boruto to avenge Kawaki’s supposed death, Mitsuki felt conflicted.
Previously, Mitsuki viewed Kawaki as his precious “sun” who gave him purpose. But that light has dimmed, leaving Mitsuki feeling lost and hopeless.
What’s interesting is that Boruto seems to be aware of Mitsuki’s emotional dependence on having a shining “sun”. He tells Mitsuki that his true sun is not Kawaki but Boruto himself.
This is an important reveal because Mitsuki never outright told Boruto that he was his guiding light. So how does Boruto know how important he is to Mitsuki?
The scene hints at a deeper bond formed between them in the unaired time period.
While touching, it raises the question of how Boruto knew of Mitsuki’s inner turmoil and his status as the metaphorical sun.
This emotional exchange shows character growth and strengthens the relationship from off-screen development.
The revelation that Boruto knows he is Mitsuki’s “sun” raises questions, as Mitsuki only shared this with Orochimaru and Log.
This suggests that Boruto may have interacted with Orochimaru or Log during the passage of time. A year after escaping the village, Boruto stayed with Sasuke, who was involved with Orochimaru.
It’s possible that Sasuke took Boruto to Orochimaru for help. The last time we saw Orochimaru in the anime, he was healing Mitsuki after his battle with Deepa outside of Konoha.
So Sasuke and Boruto could have visited Orochimaru at the beginning of the timeskip – perhaps to heal Boruto’s injured eye after they left the village.
Through this potential encounter, Boruto may have learned that Mitsuki considers him his precious “sun” from Orochimaru or Log.
Mitsuki’s Sun Mystery
During a potential visit to Orochimaru’s hideout with Sasuke, Boruto may have discussed Eida’s omnipotent Shinjutsu, recruiting Orochimaru as an ally.
In response, Orochimaru is able to reveal more about Mitsuki to Boruto. He may have told Boruto that he encouraged Mitsuki to see him as her guiding “sun,” hoping it would help Mitsuki find her own path in life.
Through this conversation, Boruto may have known that he was Mitsuki’s precious “sun” before their emotional exchange in chapter 7.
However, it’s also possible that Boruto made his own inference based on how Mitsuki talked about Kawaki. Mitsuki’s dependence on Kawaki as his light may have indicated to Boruto that he had previously filled that role for Mitsuki.
Although Boruto may have learned the information about the “sun” from Orochimaru, he may have also realized it himself during their conversation in chapter 7. The manga has not yet confirmed how Boruto known, so for now it remains an intriguing mystery.

Looking back, the previous chapter shows Boruto returning to Konoha and briefly reuniting with Sarada and Sumire before confronting Mitsuki.
