Boruto: Two Blue Vortices chapter 16 is just around the corner and fans can't wait to see what this story has to offer next. As things stand, it looks like a new story arc is almost upon readers' doorstep, which means great things for all fans of the story.

This upcoming story arc of Boruto is especially anticipated as fans know that a new adventure that could see people embark on the Village of the Sun, which means better things are on the way for all readers. Beyond that, the alliance forming between Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki will be exciting in more ways than one.

The collaboration of Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 16

• Boruto and Kawaki finally team up
• Konoha's Team 7 in Sunagakure

One of the things fans are most excited about in Boruto Chapter 16: Two Blue Vortex is Kawaki and Boruto's collaboration. These two characters have a very complex and layered relationship. Although they recognize each other as brothers, they know that eventually they will have to come face to face and fight. They both love and care deeply for each other. But for them there are more important things than this bond. For example, for Kawaki, the relationship with Naruto Uzumaki is much more important because he is the one who ended up saving his life. If Boruto threatens Naruto simply by existing as an Otsutsuki vessel, then he will have to get rid of him.

Boruto, however, sees things differently. For him, Kawaki is his brother, no matter what. This means that Boruto essentially wants Kawaki to stop hostilities towards him and save him from himself.

That said, Boruto's story will become even more exciting after the events of the latest chapter. As fans know, Boruto and Kawaki have now teamed up. Of course, this alliance will not be permanent, but it will certainly serve a purpose in the near future. As seen in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 15, these two have decided to team up to face the threat of the Shinju. These Shinju are very dangerous and can essentially lead to the destruction of the planet. Both Boruto and Kawaki recognize this and, knowing that they need each other's help to protect their loved ones, they will join hands and eliminate this threat, which will apparently head to Sunagakure.

In the previous chapter a new Shinju was born and his name is Ryu. His target is none other than the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure. Basically, the Shinju will most likely be headed to the village, which means that Boruto, and potentially even a team from Konoha, will head near the village to help and stop the onslaught of these dangerous creatures.

Ryu will most likely be the center of attention in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 16. Fans know that he was born recently, and although his abilities have probably not been fully realized, this gives the author just one more reason to involve him in the main plot. Ryu will go to Sunagakure in an attempt to consume Gaara. It should be noted that his attempt would not have been successful if it were for Shinki's powers. Since he was created using Shinki's DNA, fans know that he can essentially use magnet release and manipulate iron sand just as well. This means that Shinki's Fuinjutsu can be easily nullified by him, which spells trouble for the Fifth Kazekage, Shinki, as well as the other Sunagakure shinobi. This essentially means that ninjas have a very important responsibility at hand Boruto: TBV chapter 16, and hopefully the next chapter in the series will make sure these issues are addressed.

At the same time, fans should also keep in mind that the other Shinju will likely make a move as well in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 16. While Ryu is more than capable of taking on the entirety of Sunagakure, he can't take on everyone's power the shinobi of Konoha. It could also be destroyed by fighting them. This gives rise to the possibility of other Shinju coming with him.

Fans know that Kankuro asked Shikamaru for help, and at the same time, they know that Boruto and Kawaki will not be on the sidelines either. Against these four, Ryu can do nothing, which means that more help will be needed and someone else will be sent with him to Sunagakure. The author can take this one of two ways in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 16. Either the author pairs Ryu with someone else, like Matsuri, for this mission, which would mean that two Shinju will be eliminated in the next story arc, that is, the author will see the entire Shinju unit moved to Suna, which is where the entire battle against them will be faced, one way or another, making Boruto's upcoming story arc the biggest yet.

Of course, fans are fine with both possibilities, as both essentially confirm that Boruto's next story arc will have a lot of action and, at the same time, incredibly intense plots that will be resolved one way or another.

Shikamaru sends a team to Sunagakure

Undoubtedly, Shikamaru will take center stage in Boruto: Also Two Blue Vortex chapter 16. Fans know him as a very important character, who is currently facing a lot of pressure. He knows what he must do to ensure the world's protection from the Shinju and, at the same time, see Naruto return safely. For now, he will likely send Team 7 to Sunagakure, meaning Konohamaru, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Kawaki will be sent to deal with the big threat of the Shinju.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru will also have to keep the secret from Temari, since she is directly linked to the village, especially knowing that her brothers are in trouble. It's also possible that Temari will be the one to lead this mission, which would be great for fans to see, especially since it gives her some much-needed attention. Hopefully, fans will see more characters involved in the upcoming battle of Sunagakure, and one way or another, this upcoming battle will be decisive for the fate of the world.

Fans can only hope that the previous generation of ninja, which includes some very powerful individuals, such as Rock Lee, among many others, will also be involved in this story arc, although the chances of that happening are low. At the very least, Temari, Gaara, along with the younger generation of ninja will be the highlight of the next one Boruto: Two Blue Vortices Chapter 16.
