He notices his wrists are locked in restraints built by Amado, devices that carry a sealing technique. Worried about the others, Boruto asks whether everyone made it, and Konohamaru reassures him that the people they were protecting came through unharmed, even though the fight cost lives.
Key Events
Boruto wakes fully healed but shackled in Amado's fūinjutsu cuffs. Konohamaru and Ibiki keep watch over him in the interrogation room. Boruto learns the people they were guarding are safe despite casualties.
Notes
A brief entry set during Boruto's Return Arc in the Blue Vortex continuation, carried in a late-2024 V Jump issue. The chapter dwells on the aftermath and Boruto's confinement rather than any action. It is flagged as a stub on the source wiki.
