Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has set up the next big arc against the God Tree, and the manga's latest chapter finally explains why Boruto Uzumaki kept Kawaki's massive role reversal a secret throughout. past time.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex picks up three years after the events of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
The first series ended on a cliffhanger, seeing Kawaki force Eida to use his Omniscience powers to make everyone in Konoha believe that Kawaki was Naruto's real son and Boruto murdered the Hokage . This left Boruto a fugitive for many years and continued to put him in a miserable situation with the rest of the village after all this time.
The first part of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex took the time to reveal much about how Konoha has changed in the three years since Boruto was forced to leave the village, and Kawaki has become one of its trusted allies. their most. But as Boruto is now returning to the village to help deal with the God Tree's threats, Kawaki begins to wonder why Boruto hasn't tried telling everyone the truth yet. Boruto believes that it wouldn't make a difference anyway.
Why is Boruto still keeping Kawaki's big secret?
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 15 sees Boruto and Kawaki meet in Konoha, and they have their first real conversation since the time skip. Kawaki doesn't attack Boruto right away, allowing the two to actually talk to each other for once. Kawaki wants to know why Boruto didn't tell the others about him using Eida's power. Boruto believes that nothing good will come from telling the truth about what really happened. They just don't believe him.
It was previously established that Eida's abilities work in a much more complex way than you might first think. Instead of acting as a type of hypnosis, Omniscience completely rewrote everyone's memories to make them believe that Kawaki was Naruto's true son this entire time.
So Boruto knew that telling everyone wouldn't have much effect. While some people may believe him, others will not. It would cause unnecessary problems because it would take concentration to defeat the Divine Tree before things got worse. So, in Boruto's eyes, as long as Konoha operates normally in this situation, he will be fine with being labeled a fugitive ninja.
Even if Boruto tells the truth, it won't work
Omniscience is such a difficult ability that even if Boruto tells the truth to others, it will not be effective. Because even when she has supporters who believe in her, Eida's power continuously rewrites their memories. Before that, Shikamaru was able to piece together clues, believing that Boruto was likely Naruto's real son, but even he couldn't believe his own memories. His mind became foggy when it came to Boruto, and he even started to forget why he felt Boruto was telling the truth.
Therefore, to overcome Eida's power, those who hear the truth will have to overcome their own thoughts and doubts. For some reason, Uchiha Sarada and Kakei Sumire were the only ones who could completely avoid Eida's power without having a connection to Otsutsuki like Boruto and Kawaki.
Everyone else will probably gradually forget their support for Boruto. Naruto's son did the right thing in this case, telling the others would only complicate things. With threats like the Divine Tree out there at the moment, the Hidden Leaf Village needs as much united strength as possible.
