Spoilers Warning:
This post contains spoilers regarding current events in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga. Proceed with caution.
1. The Epic Battle: Boruto vs. Jura
From the moment Jura teleported into Sunagakure, his focus has been solely on Boruto. With an impending threat looming, Boruto’s best strategy is to stall Jura, ensuring that his friends can escape with the Thorn Soul Bulbs they acquired after triumphing over Ryu and Matsuri, the Human God Trees.
2. The Initial Skirmish
The clash officially kicks off once Boruto manages to sideline his sensei, Konohomaru. He seizes the moment to launch a surprise attack with a Rasengan, but Jura shows no signs of fear. Instead, he finds excitement in facing such a powerful opponent.
Interestingly, as the leader of the God Trees, Jura even commends Boruto for showcasing his impressive Flying Raijin technique.

3. The Balance of Power
As the confrontation continues, Jura exhibits dominance, leaving observers Koji and Eida to speculate on Boruto’s chances. They believe this challenge may be fatal for Boruto, especially since he can’t teleport to safety mid-battle. What’s more, abandoning his friends is not an option, since it would lead to their demise and give Jura the advantage of capturing the Thorn Soul Bulbs.
4. Jura’s Mission and Boruto’s Last Resort
Jura makes his intention crystal clear: he aims to kill Boruto due to his knowledge of the divine trees. Aware of his precarious situation, Boruto recognizes that his ultimate asset is his strongest technique, Rasengan: Uzuhiko.
In a clever maneuver, Boruto tricks Jura into drawing his sword, allowing him to teleport behind Jura and unleash Rasengan: Uzuhiko while Jura is distracted. Hopes are high that this powerful attack will incapacitate him, just as it has with others like Code.
5. The Unexpected Twist
In a shocking turn of events, Jura completely neutralizes Boruto’s attempt with his Rasengan. It was surprisingly crafted using the tailed-beast bombs, turning the tide in Jura’s favor. Left vulnerable, Boruto finds himself in an alarming position as Jura emerges unscathed from the encounter.
Boruto’s allies—Sarada, Mitsuki, and his teacher Konohomaru—are powerless to assist him. As the pressure escalates, many foresee Boruto needing to surrender to Momoshiki, reminiscent of Yuji’s dire situation with Sukuna.
