The countdown is finally over for manga readers. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 31 is arriving on February 19, 2026, and the early spoiler pictures and official previews suggest this installment will be brutal. Konoha is drowning in Mamushi clones, a political figure is about to die, and two of the village’s strongest young fighters are facing very personal battles. While Boruto Uzumaki ignores orders to save the village, Sarada Uchiha is dealing with a terrifying problem—her vision is starting to fade at the worst possible moment.
The Mamushi Clone Crisis Reaches Its Breaking Point
The situation in the Hidden Leaf Village has gone from bad to worse. What started as a single intruder has now turned into over a hundred Mamushi clones running through the streets. All of them share the same goal: find Eida at any cost. The Shinju clone’s ability to multiply has overwhelmed the regular shinobi forces, and the village is officially in emergency mode .
Boruto and Kawaki have been fighting nonstop to reduce the clone count. Recent chapters showed Boruto tapping deeper into his Karma power, using it to wipe out multiple clones in single attacks. Kawaki is also showing improved offensive capabilities. But even with their strength, they cannot be everywhere. The clones keep respawning, and the village defenses are stretched thin .
The official spoiler images released by the Naruto Official website confirm that Chapter 31 will split its focus between two locations. The first part takes place on top of the Hokage building, where Lord Kobu’s fate will be decided. The second part shifts to a different battlefield where Delta from Kara is shown clashing with Mamushi . This dual focus means readers will get action on multiple fronts.
Lord Kobu’s Death Is Almost Certain Now
The biggest point of tension in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 31 revolves around Lord Kobu, the representative of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. In the previous chapter, Kobu started suspecting Shikamaru Nara of secretly working with Boruto, who is officially labeled a traitor. If Kobu reports this to the Daimyo, Konoha could lose its funding and political standing. The village would be crippled without a single punch being thrown .
Kashin Koji saw this coming through his future visions. His solution was cold and logical. He asked Inojin Yamanaka to use his Mind Transfer Jutsu on Kobu, walk him to the top of the Hokage building, and push him off. The plan was to make it look like suicide. No one would suspect the village, and the political threat would disappear .
For Inojin, who is still a child, this request was unthinkable. Taking a life goes against everything the Leaf Village teaches its young shinobi. Inojin hesitated, and that hesitation may have saved his soul but sealed Kobu’s fate.
According to spoiler discussions and the official preview images, Kashin Koji attacked a Mamushi clone and directed it toward Lord Kobu . In the chaos of the clone invasion, an “accidental” death is easy to arrange. The preview images show Mamushi appearing suddenly above the Hokage office, creating panic and tension . Inojin is still holding Kobu’s body with his jutsu when the attack comes. He will have to let go and watch Kobu die.
For a kid his age, witnessing a death he could have prevented—even if the person was an enemy of the village—will leave deep scars. This moment is shaping up to be one of the darkest in the entire Boruto series .
Boruto Disobeys Direct Orders
While the political drama unfolds, Boruto Uzumaki is making his own choices. The official spoilers suggest that Boruto will break whatever orders Shikamaru gives him regarding the Mamushi situation . Boruto has never been good at following rules, and with the village in chaos, he is taking matters into his own hands.
Boruto recently demonstrated the ability to use his Karma at a higher level. In Chapter 31, he is expected to go all out against the Mamushi clones, ignoring any commands to stay back or protect certain areas. His priority is simple: protect his friends and stop the invasion by any means necessary .
This puts him in direct conflict with Shikamaru’s more cautious approach. The Hokage’s advisor is trying to manage the political fallout while fighting a war. Boruto does not care about politics. He cares about ending the threat now.
Sarada Uchiha’s Vision Problem Gets Worse
Perhaps the most worrying detail in the upcoming chapter involves Sarada Uchiha. Recent chapters have hinted that Sarada’s eyesight is deteriorating. As an Uchiha, her Mangekyo Sharingan puts a strain on her vision every time she uses it. In the middle of the Mamushi crisis, this problem is becoming impossible to ignore .
Sarada is one of the key fighters trying to reduce the clone count. But if her vision fails her in combat, the consequences could be deadly. The spoilers indicate that Chapter 31 will show Sarada struggling with this issue at a critical moment . She may be forced to pull back or rely on her teammates in ways she never had to before.
There is also the looming threat of Hidari, the Shinju clone who looks exactly like her father, Sasuke Uchiha. Kashin Koji has already seen visions of Sarada confronting Hidari. If that battle happens while her eyesight is failing, Sarada will be at a massive disadvantage . Fighting a clone of your own father is already emotionally devastating. Doing it half-blind could be suicidal.
Kashin Koji’s Vision Sets Up Bigger Battles
Kashin Koji continues to operate as the puppet master behind the scenes. His future vision ability allows him to see possible outcomes, and he is making moves to steer events toward the best result. In Chapter 31, his manipulation of the Mamushi clone to kill Kobu shows just how far he is willing to go .
But Koji has seen darker things ahead. His visions already showed Jura and Hidari entering Konoha. Jura is the leader of the Shinju, and he seems particularly interested in Himawari Uzumaki. Koji has seen a future where Himawari dies at Jura’s hands .
Himawari has been growing fast. In Chapter 30, she shocked everyone by firing a Tailed Beast Bomb, proving she has inherited massive power from her father. But raw strength is not the same as combat experience. Shikadai already reprimanded her in the last chapter for lacking battlefield awareness. That warning may become tragically relevant if Jura shows up .
If Jura and Hidari enter the village, the battle escalates to a whole new level. Boruto would have to face Jura while also worrying about Sarada fighting Hidari. Kawaki would be stretched thin. The Mamushi clones would still be everywhere. Chapter 31 may end with these two massive threats finally making their move .

What This Chapter Means for the Arc
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 31 is not just another fight scene. This chapter represents a turning point. If Lord Kobu dies, Shikamaru and the Leaf leadership will face intense scrutiny from the Land of Fire. If Kobu lives, he may expose their secrets and ruin the village politically .
The Mamushi invasion has already pushed Konoha to its limits. Adding Jura and Hidari to the mix would create an unwinnable situation. The only hope is that Boruto, Kawaki, Sarada, and Himawari can rise to the occasion before it is too late .
The moral weight of this chapter is also significant. Kashin Koji is forcing children to make adult decisions. Inojin is watching a man die because he could not kill him himself. Sarada is fighting while going blind. Boruto is breaking rules because the rule-followers cannot solve the problem. The village is asking its youngest members to carry the heaviest burdens .
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to separate itself from the original Naruto series by diving into these gray areas. The villains are not always monsters. Sometimes, the heroes are forced to do monstrous things. Chapter 31 will likely leave readers feeling conflicted, and that is exactly the point.
