Boruto - Two Blue Vortex (Vol. 1) - Masashi Kishimoto

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Vol. 1 kicks off a bold new chapter in the Naruto saga, where time has passed, allegiances have shifted, and the future of the shinobi world teeters on the edge of chaos.

Following the dramatic events that closed Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Boruto Uzumaki has been cast out of his own village, blamed for crimes he did not commit, while Kawaki has rewritten history to take his place. After three years in exile, Boruto returns—not as a boy, but as a formidable young shinobi cloaked in mystery and strength.

Masashi Kishimoto resumes creative control, joined by artist Mikio Ikemoto, to deliver a darker, more mature narrative. With Konoha caught in political upheaval, and a new powerful enemy—the mysterious Code—rising from the shadows, Two Blue Vortex is a high-stakes tale of identity, vengeance, and legacy.
