How Sasuke Was Cut Out From The Story In Boruto

Fans know that Sasuke was dealt a very harsh fate in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. After having lost his eye in the first part of the story, fans had hoped for Sasuke to train harder and be the protector of the village in Naruto’s absence. However, the events of Omnipotence saw to it that this wasn’t possible. Sasuke left the village with Boruto Uzumaki and trained him in ninja arts for over a year. Eventually, however, Sasuke came face-to-face with a Code and his Claw Grimes.

I’ll get you out of there. I swear, Uncle Sasuke. — Boruto

These Claw Grimes posedall kinds of trouble for Sasukeand even though he managed to overpower Code and even took his eye, the numbers were way too many for Sasuke to win. He sacrificed his life to protect Boruto Uzumaki, and eventually was bitten by the Claw Grimes, being turned into a tree. With Sasuke’s chakra, a Shinju was born, with powers similar to his own and the abilities of the Ten Tails. This Shinju is named Hidari and he holds the key to Sasuke’s return.

Kishimoto Has Already Set Up Sasuke’s Return in Boruto

Hidari Needs To Be Beaten To Free Sasuke

Sasuke’s return in Boruto will happen long before Naruto’s and that’s a fact.Rescuing Sasuke is far easier than the Seventh Hokage, simply because freeing Naruto means taking down Kawaki, and that won’t happen anytime soon in the story. Fans also know that getting Sasuke back is much easier and all that needs to be done is taking down Hidari. Hidari has already been beaten once and can be beaten again.

Once we get their Thorn Soul Bulb, we can save them. — Boruto

In the recent Boruto arc, two of the Hitoshinju ended up falling. These were Matsuri and Ryu. Now, only three remain and fans know that they’re next. Of course, Jura is the strongest, so he won’t be dealt with anytime soon, but Hidari will likely be next, along with Mamushi.

Sarada Will Likely Beat Hidari

Fans might be wondering who will defeat Hidari inBoruto: Two Blue Vortex. The answer is likely Sarada. Fans know that Boruto Uzumaki is going to fight against Jura, the strongest Shinju. Kawaki, similarly, is likely going to take part in the battle vs Jura, or perhaps he’ll fight Mamushi. The one who will go on to beat Hidari is Sarada, given that his target is Sarada Uchiha, to begin with. These two have already met in battle once and with Sarada having awakened immense powers, it is time she defeats him to rescue her father, one of the most beloved characters in Boruto, Sasuke.As soon as Sarada beats Hidari, which should happen in the next arc, Sasuke will be back.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on May 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
