Once Shikamaru stripped off hokage position it's time for my boy Kiba to fulfill his destiny and become the 9th hokage and i don't think Konohamaru would be chosen since he also conspire with Boruto and on suspected list
Every citizen in not just Konoha but the land of fire WILL have a dog- Kiba 2026
Not one, but two characters are outsmarting Shikamaru at the same time now. On the left, Lord Kobu who is given more and more reasons to call Shikamaru a traitor and arrest his ass On the right, Amado who is free to do what he wants even when he's supposed to be under surveillance In the middle, Shikamaru, who by this point is too reliant on Kashin Koji he doesn't have any plan on his own and spends his days in the office waiting for the plot to move on
Amado is a scientist so him outsmarting Shikamaru makes sense but Kobu is less outsmarting Shikamaru and more going over his head while he's pressured by other matters. Kobu being given the OK to investigate the connection between Boruto and Shikamaru so I think that's going to lead him looking into the starting incident in the first place and find out through the physical evidence and written testimony gathered from the investigation that Boruto's completely innocent.
Also, if I recall properly, even if someone is aware of the Senrigan's omnipotence and the altered reality, they have to constantly fight back those thoughts, so, Shikamaru doesn't have full clarity of mind. In any case, maybe not being Hokage gives more liberty to act, though much less power for decisions.
Kobu isn't deceiving him, he simply wants to be right at all costs and wants to remove Shikamaru from the Hokaga office, and since he's the higher-ranking Daimyo, he can push him to support his invented version of events even if he's wrong. It's not deception; Shikamaru simply has no evidence to disprove him. He's in a terrible situation because he doesn't have the whole picture, he only knows what Boruto and Koji share... no one else would be better off, really (if they want to collaborate with a ninja who everyone considers a traitor while they're Hokage)
As I said should have killed off Kobu's ass
Unfortunately, Inojin can't bring himself to do it.
So Kakashi coming back?
Me personally I think it would be a lot to bring in kakashi as hokage because it would throw a lot of stuff off. Shikamaru and his authority as hokage is very important even when you take into account what he knows now and everything with Boruto. Kakashi doesn’t know the motives behind the shinju or how much of a danger they really are besides that you can say he’s heard reports but it would be too much to fill him in. I would bring in kakashi and give him a different role and wouldn’t give him the title as kage.
I don’t think Kakashi would accept to be Kobu's puppet
no. Kobu himself will become a hokage or even fire daimiyo taking charge because i don't think Kobu trust anyone in konoha. he is like Boruto version of Danzo
Okay I thought that Amado was planning something nefarious when he had Kawaki kidnap Koji, but he simply wanted to upgrade his prescience to have a smaller interval between updates, which will end up being useful (the original interval being four days I believe). Shikamaru may be stripped of his title as Hokage (which isn't even official yet), and it seems that Boruto is being blamed for the Divine Trees' assaults, so it's not looking good for him. But the biggest issue right now is that Boruto's plan to use Sarada as bait has failed so far because Code identified the metal pieces she was holding and two, it seems that Jura shows up during this, and despite Koji's warning, Boruto has rushed off, meaning this could get dicey...
To be honest, I think Amado connected himself to Koji's brain so he can see the futures of Prescience. No way, he wouldn't be curious if any of the new futures would eventually led to his ultimate goal succeeding.
I am halfway thru the chapter and my GOD I am so sick of the ellipses. I have been for chapters and chapters now. "because I have....." (next speech bubble) "...done this thing...." (next speech bubble) "....now this..." (next panel) "and so...." (next page) rinse and repeat Maybe it's a translation thing but holy FUCK is it frustrating to read.
theres also the endless panels focusing on the characters eyes
They deliberatly didn't show Amado face when Koji receive an update. i am 100% Amado has sync himself with Koji so he also receive or can see the content of the update
This is what I’m thinking too and I have sooo many questions. In my mind, the upgrade has to have some sort of flaw or drawback. I’m thinking about Koji’s past updates and how he was shown to be kind of immobilized/stationary, eyes rolled to the back of his head, and even sweating when he receives an update. As if it takes some sort of physical toll on him. Then in this chapter Amado talks about the upgrade just making his brain “more active than before.” Amado doesn’t seem like the type to really care about another person’s safety when it comes to achieving his goals, so I can’t imagine he cares how much of a toll this takes on Koji. At the same time, the fact that Amado is (presumably) somehow linking himself to receive Koji’s updates is interesting to me. I almost wonder if Koji’s brain being more active is because Amado’s brain is now linked to his and thus helping “power” prescience as well. Or maybe Amado’s brain doesn’t affect it at all, but even then I wonder *how* Amado is capable of analyzing prescience without exploding since he’s just some dude.
NOTE: With this chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga will be taking a break with no specified return date.
No length has been specified, and no hiatus has been announced, suggesting it won't be a long one.
This comment will be updated once any new information is revealed.
Looks like it's September 18 when it comes back. https://www.cbr.com/boruto-two-blue-vortex-return-date-september/
Lethal drinking game: Take a shot for every panel that's just a characters' eye.
How do indefinite hiatuses work in this industry? Are they set by the mangaka or the publisher?

In case of Manga's , it's mostly dependent on the Writer and Editors. For the Anime , it's on the production team and Management.
I liked the Pacing this Chapter 👀
