It's time to say goodbye to Naruto Uzumaki for now

If there is one thing that fans Naruto I would like to see the series Borutoit is the return of their beloved Seventh Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. Since Boruto the series started Naruto Uzumaki was subjected to great abuse from new author Mikio Ikemoto, and that's definitely not a nice thing to see. He's been nervous a few times before, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Greatest The problem with Naruto Uzumaki is that he was left out of the story not completely yet.

Naruto Uzumaki is not directly involved with Boruto already, and that's mainly because he was sealed by Kawaki. More than two years have passed since then, and every day fans of the character are hoping for an update on his return. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Naruto Uzumaki will be returning to Boruto anytime soon. If anything, the Boruto series just confirmed that Naruto's return would have to waitmaybe even a few years. as such fans will have to say goodbye to their favorite Hokage yet.

Naruto Uzumaki was sealed by Kawaki

Naruto is not present in the two blue vortexes

• Naruto Uzumaki will remain sealed away for now

• The author does not plan to release him at this time

At the end of the Naruto Next Generations manga, fans were officially treated Naruto Uzumaki sealed by Kawaki in the Daikokuten dimension along with Hinata Hyuga. Kawaki did this to protect them the Otsutsuki threatbut also to make sure they don't get in the way when trying to eliminate all of the Otsutsuki, they run into Boruto to kill him. Since then, the story has moved forward quite a bit and there is still no sign of Naruto Uzumaki's return.

if anything the latest Boruto arc he just confirmed it to the fans Naruto won't be back for yearsmaybe, and that's pretty disheartening. First, Jura officially declared his target to be Naruto Uzumaki when he discovered that he was still alive. More than that, fans now know Kawaki will do anything to protect Naruto. In other words, Kawaki won't free Naruto Uzumaki while Jura is alive, which also means that all Shinju will have to die before his official return.

Naruto will only return after Kawaki vs Boruto

The battle is far away for now

At the same time, fans need to keep in mind that when Kawaki fights Boruto, he says that he will send him to the same location as the Seventh Hokage, implying that the Seventh Hokage is still in said locations, which in this case is the Daikokuten dimension. This means that Naruto Uzumaki will only be freed after the battle between Kawaki and Boruto. It also means they won't be coming back anytime soon.

Set things straight crushing Shinju will take at least 20-30 chapters. At least it will take about 2 years and then the fans will have something to look forward to when he fights Kawaki. Again, this arc will also take 1-3 years to fully develop, which means Naruto's return won't happen for another 3 yearsto say the least. It could take five years or more, which is shocking, but it's the reality that Naruto fans are facing.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 27 is set to be officially released on October 20, 2025. The chapter release time is 10:00 AM EST/3:00 PM UTC. As always, fans can read this chapter officially for free on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump.
