Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38 was officially released on October 20, 2026, and it continued the Post-Mamushi arc, finally marking the beginning of the exciting battle in the Shinju hideout. At the same time, the politics surrounding Konoha were also developed in this chapter by author Mikio Ikemoto, and some very interesting developments have taken place in the story.

Just as was expected, the Boruto series is moving towards removing Naruto Uzumaki permanently from the Hokage position. In Two Blue Vortex Chapter 38, it was officially confirmed that Kobu's decision is to install Konohamaru Sarutobi as the official Eighth Hokage and finally put an end to Naruto’s reign as the Seventh. Up until now, Shikamaru stood as the temporary Hokage of Konoha, but now, the village is moving on and appointing a true heir as Hokage, meaning Naruto can never assume this position ever again and that his dream is finally over.

Naruto Uzumaki became the Seventh Hokage of Konoha in the 700th chapter of the original Naruto series, which was officially released on November 10, 2014, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 50. This chapter finally saw Naruto accomplish his dream, and it also set up the Boruto series by revealing the next-generation characters to us. Two years later, the Boruto series began on May 9, 2016, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 23. This new series showed Naruto's dream as the Seventh Hokage, and fans truly enjoyed watching Naruto at the peak of his powers, living out the dream that he aimed for ever since he was a kid.
