Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 might be proving itself to be one of the most eventful instalments since the post-time skip arc started. Readers are having a positive experience reading this chapter because of how multiple characters got a chance to have power-ups, the threat of Manmushi is around the corner, and the village will have to defend itself, and for that, forget that Boruto is a traitor for a second.
This chapter starts with Inojin getting trained under Kashin Koji, and it looks like they are succeeding in developing a technique that is going to be the biggest help for the upcoming battle. For now, we still do not know the exact function of this technique, but looking at it, this jujutsu appears as a compressed, massive chakra into a concentrated area. Koji confirmed that this is mostly taken from.

Interestingly, in this chapter, Boruto has a conversation with Inojin where they share a small comedic moment. Inojin is given a stern warning that if he does anything that would make Himawari cry, then he will personally ensure that Inojin has no hair on his head. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 lets both of these characters have a rivalry-brother dynamic, which shows that somewhere he is rooting for Inojin.
But this was a short-lived moment as the chapter shifts to the political tension that has been brewing inside Konoha. Meanwhile, Mitsuki is summoned for questioning by Lord Kobo, who directly ties Mitsuki’s involvement with Boruto’s escape to Orochimaru’s past allegiances. It’s a clever bit of continuity, reminding readers of old loyalties while sowing distrust around Mitsuki’s current ties and motivations. For a chapter focused on action and power scaling, these foundation-level story moves hint at a growing internal crisis.
Boruto’s new sword and the return of true karma control

The main event that took place in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 is Boruto getting his newly upgraded sword. We knew that he had asked Sumire to make some changes, and she went above and beyond in just repairing it. She ended up making a sword that is now able to maintain its chakra-cloaked Hagoromo mode automatically.
This means that Boruto just needs to hold on to the blade, and it automatically draws enough chakra that is needed. But that is not the only amazing ability of this new sword. If anyone who is not registered touches it, they will instantly lose a whole lot of chakara. Sumire explains that the reason she did this was to ensure that it does not fall into the wrong hands.
But the story around Boruto does not end here. By the end of this chapter, he swiftly took care of a Manmushi clone without breaking a sweat. This shows how much he had grown. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 is proof of how he is his father's son because when anyone poses a threat to Konoha, things get serious.
The dark alternate timeline: Himawari and Ada’s death

There is unfortunate news in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28, when Kashin Koji talks about an alternate timeline where Himawari and Ada are dead. In this vision, Eno cradles a fatally wounded Himawari, while Ada’s body appears fused into the Shinju tree. The implication is horrifying: if Ada fell, Damon must have been defeated, too.
Since Damon never leaves Ada’s side, the scene confirms that the Shinju can overpower even the strongest characters introduced so far. He further explains in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 that he will not tell everything because it could lead to unseen consequences.
Kawaki’s upgrade and what comes after Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 also teases Kawaki getting his own upgrade as he undergoes a mysterious procedure with Amado. While the exact nature of this enhancement remains unrevealed, it’s clear that both Boruto and Kawaki are being prepared for their inevitable clash.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 28 delivers power, foreshadowing, and emotional weight, a clear sign that the story is gearing up for its next major confrontation. With Karma mastery returning, Shinju threats escalating, and alternate futures showing the cost of inaction, the series is moving full speed toward its next big turning point.
