The upcoming Boruto Part 2 Chapter 9 teases the comeback of an old character to the story.
Boruto Two Vortexwill return with its newest Chapter 9 today. The chapter’s spoilers reveal many shocking twists in the story, with some of its biggest moments includingHimawari finally unleashing her true powersandBoruto and Kawaki’s tense battle.
There is another surprising detail that hints at an old character’s comeback in Boruto. At the beginning ofBoruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 9, Boruto and Kashin Koji are seen in an uninhabited location. The panels show some stone snake statues in the background.
Similar snake statues were previously seen in Orochimaru’s hideout when Naruto and Sasuke, along with Sarada, Chocho went there in Boruto Part 1. This little detail hints that Orochimaru might return to the story once again.
Borutoand Kashin Koji being at Orochimaru’s hideout could also mean that they have been in contact with one another during the three year timeskip. Orochimaru is a man of many surprises and he could very easily aid Boruto during that time.
There are many connections between Boruto and Orochimaru that support this theory. Orochimaru was once Sasuke’s master who is Boruto’s master in turn. Boruto is also the best friend of Orochimaru’s son, Mitsuki.Narutoand Orochimaru also have an extensive history, though mostly negative.
Another hint that Boruto might be in contact with Orochimaru during the timeskip and the legendary Sannin can make a comeback is in Chapter 8. In thatmangachapter, Boruto encounters Mitsuki after three years. Even though Mitsuki has forgotten Boruto, the rogue ninja tells Mitsuki to come find him and he knows where to look.
