Previews for chapter 38 of the manga series ‘Boruto: Two Blue Vortex’ suggest the potential return of Naruto Uzumaki. Narrative developments indicate that Kawaki may visit the private dimension where he previously confined Naruto and Hinata, potentially leading to their release.

These events coincide with rising political tension in Konoha. Shikamaru faces accusations from Kobu, a representative of the Fire Nation’s Daimyo, of being an ally to Boruto. Recent developments suggest a Konoha shinobi may have obtained evidence that could force Shikamaru from his position.
