The Shinju are monstrously powerful beings, and Jura is a cut above the rest, knowing techniques that are incredibly overpowered.Boruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 22 has given fans a look at his unique abilities, which include the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai as well. However, at the same time, Ikemoto andKishimoto have also revealed a great counter to Wood Release.
The Immense Power Of The Wood Release Kekkei Genkai
Wood Release is known to be one of the most incredible Kekkei Genkai that fans have seen in Naruto to date. This Kekkei Genkai is incredibly overpowered, as was clear from Hashirama’s usage of it. Using the power for Wood Release, the user can manipulate vegetation at will, and even produce wooden structures, along with much else. Even whole forests can be produced using Wood Release, and what’s more,this Kekkei Genkai also allows the user the alter the terrain to their advantage.
It’s the energy of the planet being used against you! — Boruto
Wood Release also has another big advantage, and that is being able to suppress the power of a Tailed Beast. This Kekkei Genkai is, undoubtedly, one of the most incredible in the series, and now, it is in possession of the Shinju, who serve as the main villains of the ongoing arcs.
InBoruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 22, fans saw Jura clash with Boruto Uzumaki in a much-anticipated battle, and finally, he unleashed the power of Wood Release. Jura intends to kill Boruto Uzumaki, and with Wood Release, one can easily restrain targets with even the strongest chakra. However, Boruto Uzumaki was able to counter the power of Wood Release with his strongest Justu, Rasengan Uzuhiko.
Rasengan Uzuhiko Can Destroy Wood Release Hold
Uzuhiko Can Utilize The Planet’s Rotation
As seen inBoruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 22,Rasengan Uzuhiko was the perfect counterfor Wood Release. There is no denying that Wood Release is very strong and can suppress strong chakra, however, with Uzuhiko, Boruto Uzumaki has been previously seen as capable of coating his body in rotational energy which generates wind too. By using the Rotation of the planet,Borutowas easily able to break free from Wood Release. All he needs to do is keep his feet planted on the ground.
As was seen inBoruto: Two Blue Vortexchapter 22, Boruto Uzumaki was able to teleport and land a powerful Uzuhiko on Jura, weakening him for a bit. Undoubtedly, Jura is strong, but even he felt the hit that Boruto delivered after countering Wood Release. Of course, Jura is still stronger than Boruto, and even if his Wood Release is countered, he has a hundred other ways to beat Boruto Uzumaki.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on July 18, 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 theManga Plusand the Shonen Jump apps.
