Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 is shaping up to be one of the most impactful chapters of the post–time skip era.
Fans are praising this installment for its pacing and layered storytelling — multiple characters unlock new power-ups, the threat of Manmushi grows, and Konoha prepares for an incoming disaster while setting aside Boruto’s status as a “traitor” for the sake of survival.
The chapter opens with Inojin training under Kashin Koji, and their progress hints at a technique that could be the turning point of the coming battle.
Although the manga has not fully confirmed how it works, the jutsu appears to condense an enormous amount of chakra into a single concentrated space.
Koji suggests this technique draws heavily from powerful ancient arts — making its future role even more intriguing.

Surprisingly, the chapter also delivers a lighthearted interaction between Boruto and Inojin, where Boruto jokingly threatens to shave Inojin’s head if he makes Himawari cry.
It highlights a subtle rivalry-siblings-style bond, revealing that Boruto may quietly be rooting for Inojin’s growth.
The scene is short-lived, though, as the narrative quickly pivots to Konoha’s escalating political tension.
Meanwhile, Mitsuki is interrogated by Lord Kobo, who implies that his past connection with Orochimaru might be tied to Boruto’s escape.
This is a clever way of reminding the audience of unresolved loyalties while planting seeds of distrust around Mitsuki’s current alignment.
Although this chapter focuses heavily on combat development, the political undercurrent signals a growing internal crisis inside the village.
