Per the Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 spoilers, Shikamaru was summoned by the village elders and forced to execute Boruto Uzumaki. The entire village was hunting down the latter since he allegedly killed the Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki.

The surprising bit from Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 is that Shikamaru seemed to realize that his memories have been tampered with. At this point, Kawaki and Mitsuki were waiting for Boruto to appear in Konohagakure since they wanted to kill him.

Mitsuki looked like he was on edge and was ready to go all-out against Boruto. Not only had he grown up, but he also seemed colder and distant. In the Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 spoilers, when Mitsuki attempted to attack Boruto, he activated his Snake Sage Mode.

Boruto realized that Mitsuki was giving everything he had, and in return, he used the Purple Lightning technique. Kakashi invented this since he needed an attack similar to Lightning Cutter now that he didn’t have the Sharingan.

The Purple Lightning allows the user to transmit electricity to their targets. Therefore, this attack has a variety of uses. It can be used as a weapon at close range or as a long-range weapon covering a wide area.

So how did Boruto use Purple Lightning in Two Blue Vortex chapter 6? Instead of cloaking his hand in electricity, he cloaked the swords Sasuke gave him. Following that, he attacked Mitsuki, who used the Hidden Shadow Snakes Technique.

Since Kakashi invented the technique, it is highly possible that he taught Boruto how to use it. While some may speculate that Sasuke could have learned this technique, it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the manga. Therefore, it is highly possible that Boruto Uzumaki learnt the Purple Lightning technique from Kakashi.
