Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 17 Recap
Chapter 17, titled Wild Beast Cubs, begins with Sarada reflecting on Sumire’s critical words about her lack of consideration for others’ feelings. Though shaken, Sarada resolves to stay focused. Meanwhile, Yodo identifies Matsuri as a Sensory-Type Shinobi, realizing time is limited to execute their plan. Yodo confirms with Konohamaru that obtaining Ryu’s Thorn Soul Bulb could help save Shinki. Despite warnings from Araya to avoid rash decisions, Yodo is determined to proceed.
Konohamaru, Sarada, and Mitsuki approach the Divine Trees under the guise of seeking Boruto and propose a team-up to find him. Matsuri, overwhelmed by her emotions upon seeing Konohamaru, blushes and agrees to the alliance. As the groups introduce themselves and begin their search, it’s revealed that this strategy was devised by Shikamaru. Viewing the Divine Trees as powerful but not inherently evil, Shikamaru’s plan is to gain their trust, then betray them to collect the Thorn Soul Bulbs for humanity’s survival.
Sarada and Mitsuki manage to separate Ryu from Matsuri. During their conversation, Ryu shares that Jura respected Konoha Shinobi and that his initial hostility toward them had waned. Meanwhile, Konohamaru, aware of Matsuri’s romantic feelings for him, struggles with the ethical dilemma of using her emotions to accomplish the mission.
Elsewhere, Kashin Koji consults Eida about developments in the Hidden Sand Village. Though Eida worries about Mamushi, Koji reassures her of the Divine Tree’s safety. Boruto, anxious for his friends’ safety, questions Koji about the mission’s failure rate. Koji insists it is low but emphasizes that Boruto must not join the fight, as Jura poses a significant threat to him and Himawari.
Around this time, Jura unexpectedly visits Konoha, alarming the Sensory Team. However, Shikamaru instructs them not to engage. Surprisingly, Jura’s purpose is mundane—he purchases books, paying in advance for future orders.
Meanwhile, Kawaki confronts Amado, demanding the scientist help him unlock his full potential, setting the stage for further confrontations.
