In the latest chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Chapter 9, Himawari finally transitions into the Bijuu state (with the power of the Nine-Tails) and has a minor version of Kurama appear after her.
The latent potential of Himawari’s strength was hinted at in Chapter 8. When Jura and Hidari came to Konoha to find Naruto, they instead sought out Himawari. Both were shocked when they sensed Naruto’s chakra emanating from her. While it was not explicitly stated, it was evident that Himawari had inherited her father’s chakra.
Chapter 9 ultimately confirmed this, revealing that Himawari truly is the new vessel for Kurama’s chakra.
The revelation of the strength of Naruto’s daughter has created a significant plot twist for the story, making Himawari a standout character in Boruto. Although she is the daughter of Naruto and Hinata, the young girl has not appeared much in the narrative compared to her brother, Boruto. This has left many fans feeling somewhat disappointed, as the origins and personality of Himawari could have made her a compelling character.
From the very beginning, the story has hinted at Himawari’s extraordinary potential. She has inherited the Byakugan from her mother. Similar to Boruto, she possesses all the traits of a powerful ninja.
However, despite her talents and the strength of her Byakugan, Himawari has often been portrayed as a supporting character, primarily to facilitate the development of Boruto and Kawaki. The latest chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex finally provide her with the opportunity to shine and showcase her true capabilities.
Himawari’s unleashing of immense power as the new vessel of Kurama’s chakra brings many exciting developments to the storyline. Since she possesses the Nine-Tails’ chakra, she could become a target and even face off against Jura and Hidari. Whatever happens next, fans can be sure that there will be an epic battle between Himawari and the new threats to Konoha.
