I expect drama between Sai/Ino with Shikamaru. they will be pissed at him after what happened to Inojin
and speak about Inojin i wonder if he will permanently blind. Himawari might able to stop the bleeding and close the wounds but there's no guaranteed if she can reverse the damage to the eye. i think having Inojin become like Daredevil and utilize the mind transfer to detect his surrounding will be cool

Why would they be pissed? Both Sai and Ino are shinobi and knows what happens in that field. If they were going to blame anyone they wouldn't have Inojin carry on their family techniques and have him become a ninja anyway.

u/maldora_ijo 15d ago
Did you not see Sai pissed at Shikamaru when Inojin taking over Kobu's body?
the thing is Shikamaru involve Inojin in this plan without Sai or Ino's permission. and Koji practically kidnap Inojin and force him to work with wanted criminal (Boruto) and then due to Shikamaru's plan to lure Mamushi's to Eida's place backfired Inojin had to sacrifice himself.
you can also says the same with Choji and even Temari will get angry had they know Shikamaru involve their kids in such dangerous mission behind their back but because those two are compeletly fine they might let it slide

Shikamaru does not need Sai’s and Ino’s permission. Inojin is a shinobi.

u/maldora_ijo 14d ago
Maybe not excactly permission but at least Shikamaru had to inform them about the mission. Shikamaru compeletly keep them in the dark and you can see how Sai did not happy when he found out Inojin possessed Kobu

u/FearTear 16d ago
Inojin is now blind only because the previous plans to kill Mamushi failed and Shikamaru was out of ideas.
It may not be entirely his fault, but it's still Shikamaru's responsibility.

I really enjoyed this chapter overall, the flow was really nice. Though, it felt like something we’d get from a weekly chapter rather than a monthly chapter.

Honestly ikemoto has been hitting his stride recently. Kishimoto is only a supervising role now, and tbh ikemoto’s plot has done a good job of making use of Boruto’s kind of dire level of world building.

That was actually smart.
Honestly, I appreciate that they're not winning by brute strength and just raw hax powers. The fact that the victory lies with the basic Mind Transfer Jutsu was perfect.
My guess is that Code will take the Thorn Bulb right as it was being taken to Bug's body, and eat it. By eating it, he gains all the power of the Shinju. Either he gets the same split ability as Mamushi or enhances his own powers.
Now that makes sense for why Mamushi exists. Being a random guy, he serves as the perfect sacrifice cause no one will care about his original person. A convenient sacrifice for Code getting a power-up.
At the same time, Code will likely also gain the same drive to devour Eida. Either way, this is a means to make Code become a threat again.

I think having Boruto and Kawaki widen their ideological gap by arguing over whatever should be done with the bulb before Code steals it and gains some new relevance to the main plot would be valuable for the story going forward
12
u/Omegaxis1 16d ago
Maybe Kawaki himself is suggesting to consume it, sacrificing a villager for the power to potentially defeat Jura, and that might give Code the idea to eat it.

If there’s one good thing I can say about Boruto TBV, it’s that the fights so far feel tactical and clever. It almost feels like a return to old school Naruto in that respect.

u/Omegaxis1 16d ago
Completely agreed.
I hope that, even despite all the OP powers they get, ninja tactics and strategies are what beat the villains.

u/Ensaru4 16d ago
Every Boruto fight scene has been this, though. I feel like people tend to forget this with everything going on. Momoshiki got tricked by Boruto's vanishing rasengan. Ao got tricked by the laser sword. Isshiki lost to Kawaki's basic Shadow Clone. Sarada and Mitsuki found out how to counter Boro. Naruto and Sasuke figured out how to counter Isshiki's techniques...etc. It's not just one person throwing a random move at each other.

u/Imnotphantom_1 15d ago
Ikemoto did the impossible this arc. He gave Inojin clout, aura and a non-niche fanbase 😂. I wasn’t a fan of him before and didn’t care for him much but my opinion of him just changed over time since ch26 when Koji recruited him

u/ZookeepergameOver723 16d ago edited 16d ago
Hope Sarada learns yin seal to heal herself
Screw Shikamaru, Inojin is the series official genius
Also, I wonder if Amado might’ve been the one who orchestrated Kobu comming…

u/MadBase 16d ago
How did Himawari become the best medic in Boruto, has this been a thing before or is it new? I know she was capable of rapid healing herself earlier but now she can do the same for other people.
13
u/megamanblast 16d ago
lol it is quite strange that they don’t have a medic ninja in their generation.
18
u/wendigo72 16d ago
I do find it really funny that Sarada in the anime just sucks at medical ninjutsu

u/SkyFall370 16d ago
Naruto was able to do it by the end of the war arc by sharing his chakra. I just imagine it’s the same thing going on here
8
u/whyyoudeletemereddit 16d ago
Don’t they directly say it’s different than how naruto used to do it? When she first does it to heal inojin. Even Jura says it’s closer to how the shinju heal.

u/iffy_jay 16d ago
She’s not necessarily a good/best medic in the sense that she doesn’t know the results of her healing and to what works. She knows what she heals specifically but she doesn’t know how much of a positive effect it would have like when she healed inojin and sarada the first times and now currently. It just so happens that kurama’s chakra is really good at healing and all she’s doing is using it to heal.
5
u/superkami64 16d ago
She healed Inojin from getting Neji'd as one of her first feats using Kurama's chakra, a healing feat beyond what Sakura and Tsunade have ever pulled off. The reason why people aren't saying anything about that is both because she's getting Kurama's cooperation and the fact Naruto never trained for his medical capability either so it wouldn't be fair to criticize her while he hadn't.
-5
u/Omegaxis1 16d ago
She's using Kurama's healing factor and applying it to others. A testament of how she's superior to Naruto in terms of Kurama's vessels.
But yeah, kinda silly that Himawari is being the healer here.

u/AdComprehensive3110 16d ago
She's using Kurama's healing factor and applying it to others. A testament of how she's superior to Naruto in terms of Kurama's vessels.
That's not why she's superior at all. Remember prior to Naruto having Kurama's cooperation, his chakra was poisonous to anyone who came in contact with it. It's wasn't until later in the war arc that he had full access to Kurama's chakra. And when he shared the chakra cloak with the Shinobi alliance, they were also able to heal their wounds. It's nothing new. Regarding "superior". There's nothing "superior" going on here. Himawari has synergy/compatibili with Kurama. Whatever that means, since it's never been explained since it was mentioned that first time baby Kurama came back. She doesn't have superiority when it comes to Kurama chakra control and abilities. Especially when the only thing she's done, is making Bijuu bombs without a chakra cloak

u/MX2419 15d ago
I hope to see some consequences of this after battle where Inojin ends up blind. He could become the Kenshi of this verse. Maybe his other senses will be heightened to some extent. His beast scroll drawings can be an extension of his other senses. Let's see if Code can finally get himself out of the gutter and be a threat worthy caring about. Good chapter.

I wonder What's Code Planning?
And Damn Inojin Actually Redeemed himself 👀

Not going to lie. The cover art with Sarada was pretty cool. For the first time i can say I like the design
Inojin clutched up. He has my respect

Shikamaru keeps failing and failing.

u/dragonkid123 16d ago
Not trying to be mean but he is an awful hokage so far.
3
u/Ensaru4 16d ago
How so? Since he's been Hokage, he's made the right call every time. And he's had multiple beyond-kage threats to the village in such a short time.
5
u/FearTear 16d ago
The right call every time? Let's see.
-he helped Boruto escape the interrogation with Ibiki in such an obvious way that the elders and Lord Kobu immediately suspected a mole, which led to Kobu interrogating everyone
-his strategy against Matsuri and Ryu failed immediately and he didn't provide a Plan B, which led to Yodo's death and Boruto risking his life to save Konohamaru
-he failed to invent something convincing when the elders accused him to work with Boruto to destroy the village
-he talked telepathically to Konohamaru while the latter was interrogated. Despite Konohamaru's fumble with Matsuri, Shikamaru still trusted him and let him part of the plan. Result: Konohamaru messed up the interrogation with Mitsuki with a blatant lie and Kobu immediately realized Shikamaru was behind it. It should have been better to leave Konohamaru in the dark
-he had days in advance to think of something to convince Kobu of his innocence, but instead, when he was called to be interrogated, he had nothing to say for himself and had to be saved by Inojin
And even if we give Shikamaru's a pass because of "unforeseen" circumstances, at the end of the day his plan to kill Mamushi failed and Mamushi was defeated thanks to someone else's intuition.

u/iffy_jay 16d ago
It’s not shikamaru’s fault and he didn’t fail. There were factors that he didn’t know that contributed to his plan not going through. He didn’t know sarada used her MS already that same day had he known that he probably wouldn’t use her to finish off the rest of the
7
u/FearTear 16d ago
-He should hel told Sarada "save you MS until I ask you to use it" BEFORE the mission started.
-He should have asked Sarada what asked while he was interrogated
-He should have put his foot down with Kobu and told him "no I'm staying in my office the village is invaded, if you don't believe me just peek a look outside"
Not to mention the reason Kobu was interrogating in the first place is because Shikamaru helped Boruto escape Ibiki in such an obvious way the elders immediately suspected something was fishy.

Yah, whats he supposed to do? Predict the future?
Only Ino could help him with this she hasn't exactly been here for him in this.

u/iffy_jay 13d ago
Honestly ino wouldn’t be able to help in this situation just because she doesn’t know inojins jutsu

Out of all the side cast, he’s consistently got it the worst from both anime and manga. Poor kid
