Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to develop the ninja world further as Boruto faces a daunting challenge against the overwhelming power of Eida. With the Divine Tree warriors creating unprecedented new threats, Boruto and Konoha must collaborate to confront these hidden enemies using innovative strategies.
Currently, the story explores the essence of the Divine Trees (Shen Shu), and the latest chapter reveals a key that could unlock their secrets, as someone develops profound feelings for Sarutobi Konohamaru.
As Jura and the Divine Tree become increasingly powerful with the knowledge they acquire, Shikamaru believes that the time to confront them is imminent before they fully mature. The state of these beings right after their birth is akin to “the beasts of the wilderness.” There is a potential to create a new race of beings through Matsuri—an entity that has a deep emotional connection with Konohamaru, even though she is yet unaware of her feelings.
A New Romance in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
Chapter 17 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex begins with a new mission involving Gaara and his adoptive son, Shinki, after they face an attack from the Divine Tree. Shinki is utilized as a powerful asset for the newest member of this monster team, Ryu.
Konohamaru and Team 7 collaborate with Shinki’s team to carry out their new mission in the Sand Village. Upon meeting Matsuri and Ryu, Matsuri becomes flustered, and her demeanor causes Konohamaru to question her feelings. As the situation unfolds, Shikamaru realizes that there is a need to leverage Matsuri’s emotional turmoil effectively.

It is clear that every Divine Tree has its own unique relationship with individuals, yet each relationship is distinctly different. In Matsuri’s case, Shikamaru insists that Konohamaru is the one she has feelings for, even though she is unaware of what those feelings entail. Shikamaru aims to utilize this fact to manipulate the Divine Trees to serve the village’s safety.
What Does This Romantic Encounter Mean for Konohamaru?
The personality and connection of Matsuri with Konohamaru undoubtedly represent one of the most unique dynamics among the Divine Trees. It is challenging to accurately assess the significance of this relationship, but it is evident that Matsuri’s feelings will play a crucial role in their interactions.

Considering Matsuri’s feelings towards Konohamaru, it seems that Moegi may also share similar affections for him. Thus, this presents a complex dilemma for Konohamaru moving forward. He must navigate not only Matsuri’s burgeoning feelings but also find a way to connect with Moegi.
This means he might need to suppress or manage Matsuri’s emotional distress before he gets a chance to explore his relationship with Moegi. Eventually, when all these tensions surface, Konohamaru may realize that Moegi harbors her own sentiments towards him. However, prioritizing the challenges presented by the Divine Trees will remain his primary focus.
