Chapter 4 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has delivered a unique experience for avid fans. This chapter not only marks a significant moment in the story but also reveals surprising information and dramatic developments. It can even be categorized as one of the most shocking events since the series began.
The highlighted aspect in this chapter is the expanded understanding of the unique ability of the Sage of the Six Paths and how it presents a new viewpoint on a beloved character. However, even more surprising is the growth of Boruto Uzumaki. It’s hard to believe that Boruto has developed such formidable skills over the past three years, having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique—one of the most powerful techniques in the Naruto universe.
What is the Flying Thunder God Technique?
The Flying Thunder God Technique was developed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and later perfected by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. When executed, it allows the user to teleport instantly to any previously marked location, as long as it has been marked with a special seal.

This legendary technique is famously associated with Minato, known as the “Yellow Flash of Konoha.” The Flying Thunder God Technique, combined with Minato’s incredible speed and reflexes, made him the fastest ninja in history.
The effectiveness and utility of this technique were demonstrated during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Here, Boruto’s mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique undoubtedly plays a pivotal role in the storyline.
How Did Boruto Uzumaki Learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Boruto Uzumaki’s rapid advancement has become a significant point of interest. After a three-year time skip, he returns with a much stronger demeanor. The lack of detailed information about his training process has sparked much speculation among fans.
We only know that, after the time skip, Boruto has become impressively powerful. His learning of the Flying Thunder God Technique is a clear indicator of his increasing agility in battle. However, the specifics of how Boruto acquired this skill remain unclear. Speculation points towards either Sasuke or Kashin Koji as potential instructors.

Despite Boruto’s innate talent, he still faces challenges in fully mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique. His journey is ongoing, but he is showing clear signs of becoming an exceptional ninja.
Moreover, comparing Boruto with Minato reveals significant differences in experience and depth of skill. While Boruto can utilize the Flying Thunder God Technique, he does not yet possess the legacy or depth of skill that Minato has. With time and rigorous training, however, Boruto could not only match but potentially surpass Minato’s abilities.

Although Boruto may be a prodigy, he still has a long way to go to completely master the Flying Thunder God Technique. He could potentially use special kunai that bear Minato’s unique seal to increase his speed and enhance his combat effectiveness, making him one of the fastest shinobi in the world.
It’s essential to note that Boruto has the potential to learn quickly and integrate new techniques suited to his style. Thus, the Flying Thunder God Technique will not only serve as a tool for increasing speed but also as a gateway to limitless strategic opportunities on the battlefield.
