Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 10 is just days away from being released and the entire fanbase is anxiously waiting for the same. In the meantime, fans have already gone through the latest set of spoilers that are currently making their rounds on the internet.

These spoilers have given fans some clarity on what they can expect from the upcoming chapter. Furthermore, the rough translations also revealed some information about Kurama.

The Nine-Tailed Beast wasn't involved in the story since he sacrificed his life when Naruto was forced to use the Baryon Mode. However, chapter 8 not only revealed Kurama's reincarnation but also the fact that he has reincarnated within Himawari. The spoilers from chapter 10 revealed Kurama attempting to understand how he reincarnated within Himawari.

The spoilers from the upcoming chapter gave the fanbase plenty of information to discuss. As expected, Himawari and Kurama received the spotlight once again because the shinobi is now a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast. This might even make her Naruto’s true successor. However, the glaring question that every fan is currently asking is this - how did Kurama survive, and end up manifesting in Himawari?

This was addressed in the spoilers of the upcoming chapter, but it was done in a way typical of how Kishimoto often does it. Even though the fanbase received some clarity on this, the answer wasn’t particularly conclusive and it was left open-ended. This means Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto intend to clarify this as the story unfolds.

Kurama stated a couple of possibilities. Kurama revealed that his death was never permanent because he is a Tailed Beast. Therefore, his reincarnation was imminent. However, how he managed to manifest in Himawari seemed to be a bit of a mystery to him as well.

Kurama assumed that it could have been fate that made him reincarnate within Himawari. The second possibility is that Himawari could have received a portion of Kurama’s chakra since she had Hinata and Naruto’s blood, one of whom was a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Beast. Kurama believed that these were the only possible reasons why Himawari Uzumaki became the Nine-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

Kurama made another interesting point and said that Himawari had the highest affinity towards Kurama’s chakra. He also stated that she could surpass the likes of Naruto Uzumaki himself. It’s quite clear that the stage is set for Himawari to shine and it’s only a matter of time until she takes on some of the toughest antagonists that the series has to offer.
