Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 6 spoilers and raw scans: Kawaki learns about the "Shinju"

According to spoilers of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 6, the upcoming chapter will be titled Three Years. The chapter opened with Shikamaru seeking advice from the two elders of the Hidden Leaf Village. Shikamaru informed them that Boruto helped the village fight Code.

Nevertheless, the elders were adamant that Boruto needed to be eliminated, given that he tried to kill Uzumaki Kawaki. It was not just the feudal lords, but the entire situation had made running the village a tough task as well.

Hence, the elders asked Shikamaru to take the title of the eighth Hokage. If things were to continue like this, it would not appeal to the other villages. From the conversation, it was very evident that Shikamaru had chosen to become the tentative hokage for three years. But with the period over, the elders wanted him to become the permanent Hokage.

That's when he met Mitsuki and realized that Boruto had returned to the Hidden Leaf Village.
