The upcoming chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has revealed an intriguing development involving Uzumaki Himawari, Naruto's daughter. In Chapter 11, she manifested a Tailed Beast Bomb, showcasing her growing abilities. However, the Kurama she hosts differs significantly from the one that bonded with Naruto. Understanding these distinctions offers insights into how the narrative evolves uniquely from its predecessor.

In Naruto's journey, Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox, was a source of immense power and conflict. Initially antagonistic, Kurama often tried to overpower Naruto's consciousness and unleash destruction. Naruto's bond with Kurama was marked by struggle, gradual trust-building, and eventual harmony, playing a pivotal role in the series' progression.

However, in the manga series, Himawari's interaction with Kurama appears fundamentally different, reflecting a shift in how tailed beasts are portrayed and how their hosts harness their power.

Throughout Naruto's journey, his relationship with Kurama was often tumultuous. Kurama was reluctant to cooperate and attempted to take over Naruto's body. However, in the latest chapter, the dynamic between Himawari and Kurama is vastly different. Instead of gatekeeping his chakra and subverting Himawari's control, Kurama actively assists her in creating the Tailed-Beast Bomb, working in tandem.

Himawari's connection with Kurama is very different from Naruto's past experience. This difference raises an interesting question as to what makes Himawari's relationship with Kurama so unique when compared to Naruto's challenging bond.

One striking difference is how Himawari channels the Tailed-Beast Bomb's energy. Unlike Naruto, who relied on Kurama's tails to focus and release the technique, Himawari seems to channel the energy through her own hair. This approach suggests a deeper, more harmonious connection between Himawari and Kurama. They work together seamlessly to unleash the devastating Tailed-Beast Bomb's power.

Naruto constantly struggled to control Kurama's chakra at first, while Himawari's effortless execution shows an understanding and cooperation rarely seen in the Naruto universe. This contrast highlights the stark differences in their relationships with Kurama.

Himawari's cooperative Kurama and her ability to use the Tailed-Beast Bomb have far-reaching implications for the series. This suggests that the Tailed Beast within Himawari possesses unique qualities, setting it apart from the Kurama that Naruto encountered.

One possible explanation could be that Himawari's Kurama has transformed due to the peaceful and harmonious environment in which she was raised. Alternatively, the Kurama within Himawari may be a different entity altogether, shaped by the Uzumaki clan's exceptional chakra control and spiritual understanding.

The recent Boruto chapter showcased a shocking event: Himawari effortlessly using the Tailed-Beast Bomb technique. Unlike her father Naruto's struggles with Kurama, Himawari seemed to work together smoothly with her own Kurama. This major contrast hints at a big shift in the relationship between the Uzumaki clan and their Tailed Beasts. It opens up many new possibilities and questions in the story.

As eager fans await the next chapter's release, they wonder about what other unexpected twists lie ahead in this series and how Himawari's unique bond with her Kurama shapes the future Boruto world events.
