Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 17 recap

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 17, titled Wild Beast Cubs, revealed Shikamaru's plan to collect Matsuri and Ryu's Thorn Soul Bulbs. He believed that the Divine Trees were inherently not bad. Hence, he wanted the Shinobi to become friends with them and betray them later. While Konohamaru and others doubted the plan, it seemed to be moving smoothly, especially due to Matsuri's feelings for Konohamaru.

Elsewhere, Jura entered Konoha to buy some books. While the Konoha ninjas were wary of him, Shikamaru asked them not to engage with the Divine Tree. In the meantime, Boruto and Kashin Koji were curious about the developments in the Sand Village and asked Eida to take a look at it. Lastly, the manga chapter saw Kawaki confront Amado, asking him to draw out his powers to the fullest extent.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 18 will most likely focus on the Hidden Sand Village as Sarada and Mitsuki lead Ryu to Yodo and Araya. With that, fans can expect Yodo to attack Ryu, hoping to collect his Thorn Soul Bulb. At the same time, Konohamaru might try to learn more about Matsuri to understand how he could use her feelings to betray her.

After purchasing his books, the manga could also reveal what Jura planned to do. Would he return to his base or visit other places within the Hidden Leaf Village? Lastly, the manga could update fans on Kawaki and Amado's exchange.
