Masashi Kishimoto Can Use the Most Logical Explanation as a Cheat Code to Reveal How Boruto Learned Naruto Shippuden’s Most Iconic Jutsu

Masashi Kishimoto’s series Two Blue Vortex is picking up steam with its art, pacing, and characters. The series is unlike its predecessor, especially with character development. New generations redefine the old power systems in more ways than one.

With the reintroduction of iconic jutsu, Kishimoto may have screwed the pooch with the lack of context and irregularities. But there’s a perfect fix to that as well that puts all the pieces together perfectly.

While Boruto seems to have surpassed his father, his training seems rather inconclusive. This ties well with his knowledge of the Forbidden Jutsus. In particular, Kishimoto has yet to flesh out this aspect.

In this matter, an explanation comes in handy which would help flesh out this aspect. This would also tie well in exploring the extent of the karma seal as most fans suggest.

Who taught Boruto this iconic Shippuden jutsu?

Boruto has officially made his comeback in the Two Blue Vortex series. While most readers and viewers painted him as bratty, he has displayed immense growth. The series truly lives up to its name, especially with the hero’s trajectory.

Undoubtedly, he steps away from his father’s shadow and carves his own identity. This is evident in his three-year training with Sasuke where he grasped major concepts and jutsu. His biggest feat lies in his mastery of the Hiraishin.

The Flying Thunder God Technique, also known as Hiraishin is one of the most powerful jutsu in the Shippuden series. Created by Tobirama Senju, the Hiraishin stands as one of the Forbidden Techniques.

Only a handful of ninjas were able to use it effectively including himself and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Surprisingly, this jutsu made its iconic comeback in the sequel series. But there are several irregularities related to this.

Many fans deemed Kashin Koji and Sasuke responsible for teaching Boruto this jutsu. On the other hand, the only logical explanation for this is Hokage Guard Platoon. Raido, Genma, and Iwashi are presumably still alive which could mean that Boruto may have learned the jutsu from the esteemed ninjas.

In retrospect, there has been no proof of both Kashin Koji and Sasuke teaching them. This aspect hasn’t been fleshed out well in the manga. Moreover, the hero’s mastery of Hiraishin can be the key to the big reveal in the series.

Hiraishin is an S-rank jutsu, which is not supposed to be taken lightly. Precisely why Masashi Kishimoto reintroduced this jutsu has more to do with its potential in the upcoming events. With Kawaki sealing away Seventh Hokage and Hinata, this jutsu could serve a bigger purpose.

Both he and the hero have the karma seal which makes one thing certain. The hero can access the dimension through Hiraishin by marking Kawaki as fans suggest. But there is more to it than meets the eye.

Naruto is presumed to be dead along with his wife in the Ninjaverse. And while this isn’t the case, his “death” could potentially be a big trigger for plot development in the manga.

And though it seems enticing, Kishimoto is rather aversive to the idea of killing his main character. On top of that, both Seventh Hokage along Sasuke might be a part of the bigger plan in the manga.

With Jura and other Divine Trees posing a threat to Konohagakure, Naruto and Sasuke’s revival would be nothing short of an iconic feat.
