The wait for Boruto Chapter 81 is finally over, but not without a twist.
The entire Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 81 was leaked online just a day ago, revealing the long-awaited time skip and the new designs of the main characters. However, the leak was in Japanese, leaving the international fans in suspense until a reliable translation was available. Thankfully, a famous One Piece translator stepped in and translated all 50 pages of Boruto 81, so we finally have a good idea of what’s going on!
In this article, we will give you a summary of the leaked chapter and its implications for the future of the series. If you haven’t read the chapter yet, be warned that there are major spoilers ahead.
Kohona hates Boruto
The chapter starts as Sarada faces off against Shikamaru, now the Eighth Hokage, in a heated argument over Boruto’s innocence. Amidst accusations of Boruto being responsible for Naruto’s death, Sarada is determined to clear his name and set the record straight. Shikamaru, however, remains skeptical, questioning Boruto’s decision to run if he’s truly innocent.
- Sarada’s frustration mounts as she tries to convince Shikamaru that Boruto’s situation warrants a fair chance to explain himself. Shikamaru, despite his empathetic calmness, and explains that villagers’ deep-seated resentment towards Boruto makes it almost impossible to restore his reputation. A concerned Shikamaru also cautions Sarada about her persistence potentially affecting her chance of becoming Hokage.
- Sarada declares that she is following Naruto’s example, not Shikamaru’s, and leaves. The scene then shifts to Kawaki, who is now living as Naruto’s son and the hero of Konoha. He stares at Naruto and Hinata’s suspended bodies in the seal. They’re both unconscious.
Eida’s Omnipotence explained
The next scene shows Sarada and Sumire meeting with Eida, who is behind the memory manipulation that has swapped Boruto and Kawaki’s identities.
- We learn that Eida’s Omnipotence jutsu has warped the villagers’ memories, making them believe that Boruto is a cold-blooded killer and Kawaki is Naruto’s son. The potency of the jutsu has only intensified over time, leaving Sarada, Sumire, and Sasuke as the only ones unaffected.
- Eida’s Omnipotence functions by materializing individuals’ wishes into reality, who had wished to take Boruto’s place. Sarada inquiries about a potential solution to reverse the altered memories, only to learn that counteracting Omnipotence requires a conflicting wish.
The girls ask if they can fix things by telling everyone about Omnipotence, but Eida says it would just be their word against the entire villages’ memories, so there’s no a chance they’d convince anyone.
Eida then asks why Sarada and Sumire remember Boruto anyways. Only the Otsusuki clan and Daemon should be able to resist Omnipotence, so how come they’re not affected? They smooth-talk their way out, but Eida isn’t fully convinced.
Do Mitsuki and Himawari know the truth?
- Mitsuki watches him go and says “… you’re the sun that illuminates a moon like me. Isn’t that right, Kawaki?” The way he says it is a bit suspicious, almost as if he knows something, but maybe we’re reading too much into it.
- Meanwhile, Himawari is seen training with Chocho and Shikadai, who praise her for her improvement. Himawari says that she is doing it for Boruto, who she believes is not a murderer. She also says that she has a feeling that her parents are still alive.
Code finally attacks the Village!
The calm is short-lived as the village is plunged into chaos as a bunch of monstrous creatures start terrorizing civilians. Code targets Sarada and tells her to scream for Boruto, hoping to lure him out.
- But before she can say anything, Boruto makes his grand entrance with a kick to Code’s face. Kawaki senses Boruto’s presence and flies to the village. The entire village goes into an uproar and chapter ends with Code, Kawaki and Boruto facing each other, ready to fight.
