Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 13 depicts Konohamaru arresting Boruto and this sequence has led to several discussions in the fandom regarding whether these actions make sense or not. After all, Konohamaru sees the protagonist helping out Sarada Uchiha during the battle with Hidari, so it would be easy to assume that he has a reason to trust him but there is more to it.

This recent Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter highlights the effects of Eida's Omnipotence and how there are people who are not simply going to change their minds regarding Boruto and his new status quo. It shows that the people affected by this ability genuinely have memories of Kawaki being Naruto's son.

This makes the protagonist's journey to prove his innocence all the more challenging and making Konohamaru's actions more logical.

There is no denying that Konohamaru arresting Boruto is a shocking moment for a lot of people in the fandom. That is because the protagonist is actively seen helping Sarada Uchiha and his sister Himawari during the battle with Hidan and Jura. But it is worth pointing out that the context of the decision and the established lore that has happened since before the time skip.

Eida's Omnipotence has made many people believe that Kawaki is Naruto's son and that Boruto is a traitor, which is the core of the entire story of Boruto Two Blue Vortex. Therefore, most people have memories of Kawaki and Boruto swapped. They believe in their own experiences and not in what they are seeing at the moment.

Within that context, Konohamaru arresting Boruto makes sense because he is still a criminal in the eyes of Konoha and ninjas have to adhere to the law in that regard. It also makes moments such as Sarada and Sasuke trusting the main character all the more impressive since they are going against their memories, choosing to trust him instead.

What could happen in the coming chapters?

Leaving aside the scene of Konohamaru arresting Boruto, the recent chapter of Boruto Two Blue Vortex has more details on the lore of the Shinju clones and how Hidari is revived. This is very likely to play a pivotal role moving forward in the story since it shows that these beings can be revived, which can make the process of eliminating all the more difficult.

There is also a good chance that the coming chapters will show more of Boruto engaging with the characters of Konoha. It might also depict more of Kawaki as he tries to find a way to get rid of him. The protagonist is also bound to more interactions with people who are important to him, such as Sarada Uchiha, who may want to know more about the whereabouts of his father Sasuke.

Final thoughts

Konohamaru arresting Boruto makes sense with everything that has been established with Eida's Omnipotence and how this works within the world of Boruto Two Blue Vortex. It is something that could prove to be pivotal in the story moving forward since the characters' memories have been altered to a fundamental degree.
