The Boruto Series Has Failed Sarada Uchiha Yet Again 

Sarada, despite being the female lead in Boruto, is failed yet again. Here's how this happened most recently.

In this manga, fans will definitely get to see more of them as it proceeds, and for now, fans have been given a true taste of what they are truly capable of. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11, fans got to see a proper glimpse of their true strength, and they are certainly very terrifying individuals.

The Shinju's Strength So Far

The Shinju Have Not Revealed Their True Power Yet

The Shinju were first seen shortly after Boruto explained why the Claw Grimes created by Code were dangerous. It was because of these Claw Grimes that the Shinju were born. Essentially, they're a miniature version of the Ten Tails, however, evolved far beyond their natural instinct of consuming whatever source of chakra is near them. Now, they have developed sentience, emotions, and intelligence at the same time. They want to explore more and gain more knowledge. They want to go beyond their natural instinct and see what else the world has to offer. They want to be driven by their own goals, and for that reason, these are very complex creatures who are also tremendously powerful.

Of course, given that they are born from the Ten-Tails itself, it is no surprise for the fans to know that the Shinju are tremendous in terms of strength. Fans have already seen them go up against Boruto Uzumaki once, and it was clear to see that they were easily able to overwhelm him in combat. In fact, Boruto could've died had he not escaped from the battlefield back then. Ever since then, fans have seen the Shinju grow more in terms of strength.

When the Shinju arrived in Konoha, they went head to head against Kawaki. Despite the young ninja utilizing dangerous powers that he possessed up his sleeve, he was not able to even scratch Jura in combat. This was done without Jura even going serious in the first place, and that is truly scary.

Fans know that their chakra is almost limitless, given that these are creatures born from a Tailed Beast itself. They have also got access to Wood Release, and of course, super regeneration. On top of that, they have two Rinnegan each, which is the strongest visual dojutsu that fans have seen in the world of Naruto. Truly, these are monstrously powerful individuals that fans will definitely have to see more of later down the line in Boruto.

Jura And Hidari Go Serious For The First Time

Jura And Hidari Started Showing Bits Of Their Strength In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 11

While the strength of the Shinju is certainly immense, as has been shown to the fans in the last few chapters, they certainly have much more than just that to offer. In fact, in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11, fans got to see the Shinju go series for the very first time. In the case of Jura, fans got to see him fight against Himawari recently. Himawari was utilizing the power of the Nine Tails to the utmost fullest, and she could actually bring out a sizable amount of its powers.

I've decided to release just a little bit. You made me want to test it…my true power! – Jura

Despite Himawari being able to land a successful blow on Jura and push him back, she was absolutely no match for him. In fact, her strength was such that Jura, for the very first time, went serious in combat and he was able to make quick work of her, getting incredibly close to killing her in combat right there and then. Jura was clearly impressed by her, and fans know that according to him, he just let loose a little bit. This means that he still has strength up his sleeve that fans have not seen, and that makes him a very dangerous and powerful individual to face in battle.

The Boruto Manga could be coming to an end earlier than expcted.

Jura isn't the only Shinju that fans got to see the true strength of in Boruto. At the same time, Hidari was also focused on quite a lot. He was up against the likes of Sarada in combat, and he clearly overwhelmed her as if she was an insignificant foe. Despite Sarada landing one blow on Hidari in the previous chapter, injuring his gut, he healed completely. He was then able to take her down with his Claw Mark technique, and then, Sumire and Konohamaru at the same time. These individuals proved to be nothing short of a disappointment for him, as he has only started to let loose.

Of course, Boruto saved both Himawari and Sarda, and without him, everyone would have died right there and then and it was possible that the entirety of Konoha would have been destroyed as well. Thankfully, Boruto Uzumaki is around and he will definitely see to it that the Shinju are not allowed to run riot. However, if the other two do show up in the upcoming few chapters of Boruto, then, it can safely be said that the village is done for, and nobody can save it, with the only option being evacuation at that point.

How Strong Are The Shinju Truly?

The Shinju have truly shown their tremendous strength in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 11, however, fans need to keep in mind the terminology that Jura used. Himawari forced him to take her seriously, but he was only releasing a bit of his power. There is still a lot left that he hasn't shown the fans, and their strength is truly going to be frightening. It is safe to say that the Shinju are beyond the average Otsutsuki level, at the very least.

I have no idea who I am. But somehow, the only thing I did know was you, Sarada Uchiha. So I ask you, who are you? What will I gain if I devour you? – Hidari

They should be stronger than Jigen, who fans know that Kawaki has long surpassed fast now. This is why they were able to easily obliterate him even without going all out. All in all, their strength is going to be absolutely sensational and fans cannot wait to see what they are going to offer in the upcoming chapters of Boruto.

Fans should definitely not be surprised if even Boruto Uzumaki cannot defeat them at this point in time, given that they are the main antagonist of the arc right now, and their strength is way too incredible. Eventually, however, they will be bested, but the method that the author will use to take them down is unknown right now, because their strength seems too incredible.

Fans will most likely get another glimpse of their skill and power over the course of the next few chapters of Boruto, as they unleash their true ability and showcase what they are capable of once again.

Boruto is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of Boruto, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 12, is set to be July 20, 2024.
