Boruto Two Blue Vortex chapter 11 preview has confirmed the Konohamaru vs. Hidari battle, and fans are excited to see how this plays out. Konohamaru has been teased as a very talented shinobi since the original series and now, as the current Team 7 sensei, has stepped in to face Hidari as the latter and Jura invaded the Hidden Leaf Village.

While it seems unlikely that a Konohamaru vs. Hidari is going to end up with the former winning, there is no denying that Boruto fans want to see the Sarutobi shinobi on the battlefield. This could be an interesting battle, while also giving readers the chance to see more of Hidari's character and abilities, especially considering that he has been a bit overshadowed by his partner Jura thus far.

Chapter 11 of the Two Blue Vortex manga has been previewed, and one of the elements that got people's attention was the confirmation of a Konohamaru vs. Hidari battle. A lot of fans were excited to see the Team 7 sensei stepping up to the battlefield, although there is no denying that based on what has been shown about him thus far, he doesn't have much of a chance against Hidari.

With the full extent of his power— Hidari is a shinju clone created out of the chakra of the Ten-Tails and Sasuke Uchiha— it is all but confirmed that he is a powerful individual. Furthermore, it would be a bizarre decision by author Masashi Kishimoto to give Konohamaru the edge here when audiences are still not familiar with Hidari's character and what he can do as a fighter.

However, it would also be quite bizarre to reintroduce the character at this particular moment, when Hidari was fighting Sarada Uchiha, and not make it a good scene for Konohamaru. A lot of fans think that he is going to be defeated by the shinju clone, and that would make sense, but it is prudent to wait for the chapter to release and see what transpires.

As mentioned earlier, Konohamaru Sarutobi's potential has been teased since Naruto and this battle could be his most significant moment in Boruto thus far. He is one of the few adults who has stepped into battle in the series, and Sarada is his student, so it would be beneficial for the character to give a good showing.

Konohamaru has also always been teased as Naruto's successor in the Hokage position, and a lot of fans have felt that his role waned in the sequel. This battle could be a great opportunity for him to shine and revitalize his character in the timeskip.

"Nah he stands no chance lol," someone said.

"Y'all think he gonna do something?" another person said.

"How tf did konohamaru get a nerf in boruto wasn't bro supposed to become the next hokage after naruto," someone else said.

The general assumption of the fans is that Konohamaru is going to be defeated since the power difference with Hidari is too great. However, most fans are expecting him to at least provide a good showing, which the character also needs at the moment.

"Please be a shadow clone of Konohamaru," someone said.

"this fights gonna last 3 pages max," another person said.

It is worth pointing out that chapter 11 of the manga is coming out on June 21, so that would be the moment when fans are going to see how the Konohamaru vs. Hidari fight pans out.
