As the partnership between Kawaki and Eida strains, tension escalates, creating a major potential threat to their relationship. The presence of Boruto's sentient God Trees brings a significant threat to Kawaki's leadership and authority, as the trees aim to devour Naruto and could potentially exert their influence on Konoha Village. This poses a substantial challenge to Kawaki's position and could ultimately give Boruto an opportunity to gain the community's support and secure Naruto's return to the village.
Kawaki's plan to replace Boruto and lead the Next Generation into the future hit a snag when two crucial parts of his plan began to unravel.
Kawaki's ascension and Boruto's fall from grace served as the central focus of the story, but their narrative was only possible due to two pivotal events. First, Eida's unwavering infatuation with Kawaki unlocked her limitless potential and allowed her to manipulate the minds of others to paint him as Naruto's son. Second, Naruto's concealment in a secret dimension shielded him from Eida's control, providing him with the sole safeguard against her sinister plan.
While the typical time skips used to advance the plot of Boruto were not the intention for Two Blue Vortex, the story's disruption by the Kawaki-Boruto narrative was expected to lead to further development in the disruption. However, the three years between Next Generations and Two Blue Vortex appear to have generated their own disruptive effect, leaving the status quo relatively unchanged.
In the rift between Kawaki and Eida revealed in "Two Blue Vortex Chapter #6," there is an intriguing hint of tension in their relationship. Kawaki's lack of concern for Eida's safety, particularly after her revelation about the sentient God Tree's intention to harm her, suggests underlying complexities and potential conflicts within their bond. The intimacy of their relationship at the end of Next Generations is juxtaposed by Kawaki's coldness and the impact of Boruto's return, highlighting the emotional and psychological implications of their strained dynamic.
In addition to Kawaki's potential lie, the appearance of Boruto's sentient God Trees also poses a significant threat to him. This revelation, coupled with the God Trees leader's intention to devour Naruto, will eventually lead him to Konoha Village, where Naruto was last seen. However, due to the pervasive assumption that Naruto is dead, no one will be able to save him, as they will all think Kawaki's secret is safe. Therefore, his lie will be exposed, and no matter what Eida or any other charm attempts to mitigate it, it will remain exposed.
"These developments suggest a significant shift in the delicate balance between Kawaki and Boruto. While their animosity needs to be resolved, it is not a requirement for a complete resolution. Kawaki's detachment from Eida's feelings doesn't need to end in a definitive breakup, as it is crucial for Eida to believe that alternative support is necessary. Similarly, while Kawaki's lies may be forgiven or minimized by some, it is not enough to erase the suspicion and mistrust that will undoubtedly arise from such deception. The focus should shift towards prompting others to question Noruto's whereabouts, as any resolution that prioritizes Boruto's redemption over addressing the root issues may ultimately fail to achieve the desired outcome."
