Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the second part of the Boruto manga series by Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto and artist Mikio Ikemoto, is one of the most exciting shonen titles fans are looking forward to read every month. The new series takes place after the timeskip, about four years after the conclusion of the first part of the series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, and shows how Naruto, Kawaki, Sarada, and other ninjas in Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village) have changed over the years.
Two chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex have already been released, and the next one is Chapter 3, which is expected to continue the epic conflict between Boruto, Code, and Kawaki in Konoha. Of course, fans have a lot of questions they want to get from the future chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, including: "How strong has Boruto become after the timeskip?", "Will he be able to defeat Code?", "What exactly is Boruto's new technique, the Rasengan Uzuhiko?" and "Can the shinobis of Konoha defeat Code's army of Claw Grimes?"
While fans have to wait for official previews for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 to come out, we have the latest information here, and we will update once more details are officially released.

What to expect from Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3

In the previous chapter, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex revealed the lore surrounding the legendary Ten-Tails and Boruto Uzumaki's newfound strength as he confidently threatened Code, even telling the villain that killing him would be easy. After Code refused to leave the Hidden Leaf Village, Boruto begins to perform a new jujutsu he calls Rasengan Uzuhiko. However, the chapter ends before we get to fully see what his new powerful ability is about.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 is expected to reveal Boruto's Rasengan Uzuhiko power as he unleashes it on Code. We expect it to be his most powerful jujutsu yet, so the effect will probably be amazing, and it'll likely damage Code. It's also likely that we will see a flashback of Boruto's training during the timeskip, showing us how he learned his new technique.
There's also a chance that we will see more of the villainous Claw Grimes as they battle the ninjas of Konoha. Hopefully, we'll see more of Sarada, Himiwari, and other fan-favorite characters in action. Of course, there's also a good chance that we will see more of Kawaki so we might see him confront Boruto again after Boruto deals with Code. We might also see Boruto talk to Sarada since Boruto told her in Chapter 2 that he will talk to her later, but that conversation might have to wait longer as he is still dealing with Code, his Claw Grimes, and Kawaki.
However, these story details are all speculation for now, and we'll have to wait until the official previews arrive in October before we find out more about what the next chapter of Boruto: Two Blu Vortex will be about.

Where to Read Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 will be available to read on Viz Media, the Shonen Jump app, and Manga Plus. The first two chapters are already accessible online, but as more monthly chapters of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex are released in the future, expect only the latest few chapters to be available to read for free. Just like the first part of the series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, you will need a subscription to access older chapters of the series. If you don't have a subscription, you don't need to worry about that for now since only a couple of chapters have been released.
