The latest chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex dropped a major shock on readers. Inojin Yamanaka, the young ninja from the Yamanaka clan, made a huge sacrifice to save everyone. The question on every fan’s mind is whether he is now permanently blind. The short answer is yes, Inojin’s eyes were severely damaged at the end of Chapter 33, titled “A Broken Future”.
This was not an accident or a random injury. Inojin chose to destroy his own eyes to stop the villain Mamushi and his army of thousands of clones. It was a risky move that showed incredible bravery. Let us break down exactly what happened, how he got hurt, and what this means for his future.
How Inojin Lost His Vision in the Latest Boruto Chapter
The battle against Mamushi was impossible to win with normal strength. The villain could create thousands of clones of himself, each one nearly as powerful as the original. Boruto, Kawaki, and Sarada were struggling to keep up. The situation looked hopeless for the village of Konoha.
Then Inojin stepped in. He figured out the key weakness of Mamushi. All the thousands of clones share one single collective consciousness. This means if you control one clone, you control them all.
Inojin asked Shikadai to freeze one of the Mamushi clones using the Shadow Possession Jutsu. Then Inojin used the Mind Transfer Jutsu, a classic Yamanaka clan technique, to take over that clone’s mind.
Once inside the collective consciousness, Inojin made a bold call. He used Daemon’s Reflection ability. This power reflects any harmful intent back at the attacker. Inojin projected the thought to destroy every Mamushi clone’s eyes. The Reflection worked, destroying the eyes of all clones instantly. But the backlash also destroyed Inojin’s own eyes.
“Inojin’s eyes were severely damaged at the end of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 33. After executing Mind Transfer jutsu on Mamushi’s collective consciousness while triggering Daemon’s Reflection across all clones at once, the backlash from his mind transfer caused damage to both of Inojin’s eyes.” – Soap Central
Can Himawari Heal Inojin’s Blindness
Himawari tried to heal Inojin right after the incident. She used her Kurama-derived healing powers to stop the bleeding. She managed to stabilize his condition, just like she did for Sarada earlier in the same chapter.
However, there is a big problem. Himawari’s healing powers are strong, but they have limits. She can fix broken blood vessels and stop bleeding. But restoring destroyed eye tissue is a different matter entirely.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto could heal something like this because he had the Six Paths Yang seal from Hagoromo. That level of healing does not exist in the current Boruto timeline.
For Inojin to get his eyesight back, the story may need someone like Sakura to step in with advanced medical ninjutsu. As of now, the manga has not shown any solution to his condition.
Inojin New Jutsu Before the Big Fight
Before this major battle, Inojin received special training from Kashin Koji. In Chapter 27, Koji told Inojin about a dark future where Himawari dies. In that future, Inojin creates a powerful new technique to avenge her.
Koji asked Inojin to learn this technique in just two days. But Inojin pushed himself even harder. He said he would master it in one day.
This new technique is called the Mind Transmission Formation. It is an upgraded version of the Yamanaka clan’s signature jutsu. The technique creates a three-dimensional vibrational map of the entire battlefield.
The official Naruto website describes the Mind Transmission Formation as a jutsu that can turn every person connected into a receiver. These receivers can sense vibrations from objects and people within 1-2 kilometers. The communication range from Inojin extends to about 20 kilometers.
This jutsu does not detect chakra. It detects vibration frequencies. This means it can find enemies who have no chakra at all or those who can hide their presence completely.
Why Inojin Chose the Old Mind Transfer Jutsu Instead
Even with his powerful new jutsu, Inojin realized it was not enough against Mamushi. The Mind Transmission Formation could locate the clones, but it could not stop them. So Inojin went back to the basics. He used the original Mind Transfer Jutsu, a technique fans have seen since the early days of Naruto.
This choice showed incredible strategic thinking. Instead of relying only on new powers, Inojin used the right tool for the right situation. The Mind Transfer Jutsu was perfect for taking over a shared collective consciousness.
Screen Rant noted that this moment brings back what made the original Naruto series so good. Characters won fights using cleverness and tactics, not just bigger and stronger attacks.

Inojin Current Status and What Fans Know So Far
As of Chapter 33, Inojin has lost both his eyes. Himawari stopped the bleeding, but his vision is gone for now. The manga has not confirmed whether this condition is permanent.
Sarada also collapsed in the same chapter from overusing her Mangekyo Sharingan. Code re-entered the battlefield at the end of the chapter, setting up more conflict ahead.
Chapter 34 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is scheduled for release on May 20, 2026. Fans can read the manga for free on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media.
Inojin has always been a supporting character. He is the son of Sai and Ino Yamanaka. He forms the seventeenth generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio with Shikadai and Chocho. This sacrifice puts him at the center of the story in a way no one expected.
Inojin has not been given a resolution yet. But his act in Chapter 33 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex will be remembered as one of the most significant acts of heroism in this series so far.
