The latest chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex have pushed the story into high gear, and the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Momoshiki Otsutsuki will finally step up to fight against the Shinju threat, particularly Mamushi. After recent events, it looks like the answer is yes—but it comes with a terrifying catch that could change everything for Boruto Uzumaki.
The manga’s current arc shows Konoha under attack by an army of Mamushi clones, and the situation is desperate. With the village overwhelmed and key players scattered, Boruto has made a choice that fans have been waiting for since the timeskip. He is now tapping into Momoshiki’s power willingly, but the price might be his own future.
The Deal That Changes Everything
In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 29, titled “Pest Control,” readers witnessed a chilling conversation between Boruto and the Otsutsuki living inside him. Boruto, knowing he cannot defeat the powerful Shinju alone, approaches Momoshiki with a straight offer. He tells Momoshiki that he will willingly give up his body if they succeed in taking down Jura and the other Divine Trees, including Mamushi.
This is a huge moment because Momoshiki has been trying to take over Boruto’s body by force since the beginning. Taking control requires Boruto to be unconscious or have a weak will. Boruto has grown too strong mentally, so the only way Momoshiki can truly be free is if Boruto agrees to hand himself over. Momoshiki, tired of being trapped with no control, agrees to the deal.
The terms are simple for now. Momoshiki lends Boruto his power to fight the immediate enemy. In exchange, once the Shinju are gone, Boruto promises to let Momoshiki take the wheel permanently. This is not a trick or a moment of weakness. Boruto is genuinely ready to sacrifice himself to save everyone, including the people in Konoha who still think he is a traitor because of Eida’s Omnipotence jutsu.
Momoshiki Power Unleashed Against Mamushi
With the deal struck, Boruto immediately gains access to abilities he has been afraid to use. In the battle against the Mamushi clones, Boruto taps into his Karma mark without losing control. The most shocking visual from Chapter 29 is Boruto awakening the Byakugan in his right eye.
Unlike the traditional Hyuga clan members who show bulging veins when using the Byakugan, Boruto’s eye activates smoothly. This suggests his Otsutsuki heritage is manifesting in a unique way, likely tied to the Karma extraction process he went through. With this new power, Boruto makes quick work of the Mamushi clones, teleporting around the battlefield using the Flying Raijin technique, slicing through enemies, and using Rasengan variations with perfect spatial awareness.
Boruto is not just fighting. He is dominating. The Mamushi clones, which were giving Konoha shinobi so much trouble, are being eliminated rapidly. However, this display of power is exactly what makes the situation so scary. The stronger Boruto gets with Momoshiki’s help, the closer he gets to the day he has to keep his promise.
Will Momoshiki Actually Fight Alongside Boruto
So, will Momoshiki rise and battle against Mamushi? He already has. In Chapter 29, Momoshiki’s power is actively being used to defeat the enemy. But the wording of the question is important. Will Momoshiki rise as himself to battle? That part is still coming.
Right now, Momoshiki is acting as a battery and a tool for Boruto. He is in the background, watching, and waiting. But the deal states that after Jura and the Shinju are dealt with, Momoshiki gets his turn. This sets up a terrifying scenario where, once the current big bad is defeated, the next big bad might be Boruto himself, with Momoshiki in control.
Momoshiki has already stated that once the Shinju are gone, Kawaki will come for him. But Momoshiki is confident he can eliminate Kawaki instantly. This means fans might eventually see a full Borushiki vs. Kawaki battle, which would actually line up with the very first scene of the entire Boruto series, where we saw an older Kawaki fighting Boruto in a destroyed Konoha.
What This Means for the Fight Against Mamushi and Jura
The battle against Mamushi is still ongoing. While Boruto is handling the clones, the real threat remains Jura, the leader of the Shinju, and the original Mamushi, who is hunting for Eida.
Kashin Koji, who can see into the future, is shown watching the battle with a troubled expression. Even though Boruto is winning against the clones, Koji knows that the future has not changed enough. Something terrible is still coming. This suggests that even with Momoshiki’s power, the battle is far from over.
Inojin is currently using a dangerous Mind Body Transmission jutsu to track the enemy, and he is in critical danger. If he dies, it could cause massive political fallout in Konoha, turning Ino and Sai against Shikamaru’s leadership. Meanwhile, Sarada is using her Mangekyou Sharingan against Delta, and Himawari is showing off her new powers as Kurama’s jinchuriki. Everyone is fighting, but the pressure is mounting.

The Upcoming Chapter 32
Fans are eagerly awaiting Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 32, which is scheduled for release on March 18, 2026. This chapter will close out Volume 8, and manga volumes often end with a major shift, like a death or a huge reveal.
Expectations are high for the Jougan to finally make an appearance in the manga, as the current battle against overwhelming numbers would be the perfect time for it to return. There are also theories that Jura will show his true power, possibly targeting Himawari because of her connection to Kurama.
As for Momoshiki, the countdown has begun. Boruto is using his power now, but the bill will come due eventually. The deal is set, and unless Boruto finds a loophole or someone saves him, the story is heading toward a moment where Momoshiki rises for good.
For now, readers can enjoy watching Boruto finally cut loose with everything he has, Byakugan and all, as he carves his way through Mamushi forces. But that final panel of Kashin Koji looking worried should remind everyone that in the world of Boruto, a victory today can easily set up a tragedy for tomorrow.
