Boruto Manga Chapter 40

   

Boruto Manga Chapter 40 Summary

 Many recent chapters of the Boruto manga have focused on Kawaki and his growing relationship with the Uzumaki family. And while I enjoyed these interactions, focusing more on Kawaki and Boruto resulted in less panel time for Salado and Mitsuki. That’s why I appreciated Boruto manga issue 40 which allowed Mitsuki and Salad to be more active in the current story.

“Invisible Jutsu” started with Shikamaru being frustrated that Boruto and his team wanted to save Naruto alone. I couldn’t help but smile at Shikamaru during that particular scene. If he was younger, he would have done the same thing and not waited for any of the adults to help.

Also, how the hell are Hinata and Himawari still not back from shopping?

Anyway, the good news is that Sasuke is no longer in critical condition as Sakura was able to heal him. But I’m not sure if it will fully heal over time.

I’m guessing he’ll be strong enough to open a portal and allow a few more ninjas (fingers crossed Sakura is on the team) to enter and save the kids.

Also, the manga showed Sakura wearing an earring because that’s how Sasuke can track her? Did she turn the ring he gave her in the Sasuke Retsuden novel into an earring? Or am I over thinking it?

As for the children, the “Invisible Jutsu” performed many of Boro’s attacks. He can throw a lot of acid at opponents. He also has a mysterious dark mist that paralyzes others and cannot be absorbed by the Karma Mark. In addition to these skills, his regeneration power is incredibly fast.

The latest manga chapter further confirmed the fan theory about Boruto being a vessel for Momoshiki by revealing it to our little hero.

In my opinion, the fight between Team 7 (which now includes Kawaki) and Boro was very dynamic and I can’t wait to see it animated. I liked how Salad and Mitsuki kept their cool while Boruto and Kawaki couldn’t control their emotions as they tried to save Naruto.

Although they were both able to attack Boro, the black mist completely restricted their movement. Mitsuki had to jump to save his friend (Boruto) before the fog could stop him as well.

Mitsuki and Salad were amazing in this issue. She literally threw a giant rock at Boro. Talk about impressive physical strength.

I would like the manga to share how she was able to activate all six tomoe in her eyes. We hope to get this development during the anime filler arcs.

Give the salad more screen time!

After buying some time, Salad seems to have a counterattack in mind. Fingers crossed it works as intended. We’ll have to wait until next month for that.
