Title: Boruto Post-Time Skip: Major Shifts in Power, Allegiances, and New Threats Unveiled

Ten Major Changes in *Boruto: Two Blue Vortex* After the Time Skip

With the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex and a significant three-year time skip, the *Boruto* narrative has undergone dramatic changes. As the shinobi world faces new threats, Boruto Uzumaki finds himself at the center of a conflict that could alter the very fabric of the shinobi way of life. Below, we delve into ten of the biggest changes that occurred after the time skip.

Boruto and Sasuke: Wanted Criminals

Eida's Omnipotence ability has rewritten reality and caused the world to view Boruto as a criminal who allegedly killed his father, the Seventh Hokage Naruto. Boruto is now on the run, evading capture while being seen as an existential threat to the Leaf Village. Joined by Sasuke, who becomes akin to a rogue shinobi for Boruto’s sake, the duo is tasked with redeeming their names and defeating impending threats like the Sentient God Trees and Code.

Mitsuki's Transformation and Struggles

Behind Boruto and Kawaki, Mitsuki has emerged as one of the strongest shinobi in the Leaf Village. Through mastering Sage Transformation, Mitsuki's physical prowess and sage abilities have grown. However, his mental state has deteriorated due to the influence of Omnipotence, twisting his perceptions and increasing his hatred toward Boruto under Kawaki's misguidance.

Kashin Koji and His Role

Kashin Koji survived his battle against Jigen and emerged with prescient abilities known as Ten Directions. He becomes a pivotal ally for Boruto, foreseeing Eida's use of Omnipotence and understanding Boruto's true identity, thus aiding Boruto in strategic maneuvering against their adversaries.

Kawaki's Rise in the Leaf Village

Believed to be Naruto's true son, Kawaki gained control over the Leaf Village alongside Eida, becoming instrumental in shaping its defense policies. Despite their influence, Sarada Uchiha and Sumire Kakei oppose them, challenging Eida's manipulation with their immunity to Omnipotence and advocating for Boruto’s innocence.

Boruto's Power Surge with New Techniques

With Kashin Koji's guidance, Boruto's abilities saw exponential growth. He acquired knowledge of techniques his future self would possess, crafting the Rasengan Uzuhiko—a devastating variant capable of manipulating planetary spin for tremendous damage, symbolizing the evolution of his power.

Shikamaru as the Temporary Hokage

In the absence of Naruto and after the disappearance of Kakashi, Shikamaru Nara took charge as the interim Eighth Hokage. Despite the temporary nature of his position, Shikamaru has fortified the village’s defenses and maintained stability during tumultuous times, poised to continue until Naruto presumably returns.

Emergence of the Sentient God Trees

Code's failure led to the rise of Sentient God Trees, fragments of the Ten Tails that have absorbed individual characteristics. Among these, Jura—an embodiment of the Ten Tails—surfaces as a formidable antagonist, surpassing even Code in danger and relevance within the ongoing saga.

Himawari's Journey with Kurama

Himawari Uzumaki unexpectedly becomes the new jinchuriki for Kurama, significantly bolstering her abilities and positioning her as a powerful protector of the Leaf Village. Her newfound powers, coupled with a perfect bond with Kurama, set her on a path to potentially surpass her father’s legendary strength.

Sasuke's Sacrifice and Legacy

Sasuke's role shifts as he imparts his knowledge to Boruto, ultimately sacrificing himself to an ambush by Code. His defeat at the hands of Code serves as a testament to the latter’s rising threat level, even as Sasuke contributes to Boruto's growth as a shinobi.

The Absence of Naruto and Hinata

Sealed away by Kawaki, Naruto and Hinata's absence looms large over the narrative. Currently, they serve as a driving force for various factions within the story, as the search for their whereabouts propels the plot forward, promising their eventual return could bring significant developments.

Overall, the time skip in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex introduces a more mature and complex storyline, bringing our favorite characters into unfamiliar roles and challenging their resolve against greater threats, making the series a compelling continuation of the shinobi saga.
