Uzuhiko (chapter)

Code guesses that Boruto's fresh Rasengan is the vanishing kind, then dismisses the thought and lashes out from behind with Claw Marks. Boruto slips the strike, blocks Code's grabbing hands with his sword, and reveals the jutsu has already taken hold. A swirl closes around Code as Boruto demands to know where the Ten-Tails is, threatening his life. Code's counterblows never connect; he cannot track Boruto's motion and rules out clones or genjutsu before the Rasengan named Uzuhiko lands. Looking on, Ada is unmoved, but Daemon admires how the technique draws on planetary spin.

Code buckles from vertigo as Boruto explains that his jutsu is the planet striking back, its damage never ceasing while the world keeps turning, and offers to lift it if Code leads him to the Ten-Tails. Kawaki charges in alongside Team 10 and Himawari, shrinking away Code's remaining Claw Marks to seal off his escape and boasting he could finish the drained enemy. His taunting of Boruto, however, gives Code the moment to summon a Claw Grime from his facial mark and flee through it. Shikamaru orders every grime destroyed.

Elsewhere Sarada confirms that Soegi still lives inside the defective God Tree grown around him. Kawaki jabs at Boruto's Uchiha-styled outfit and figures he has come home to die, though Boruto insists he still has work to finish. A toad hidden in Code's collar, planted by Boruto, tracks him back to his base and reports the emaciated Ten-Tails penned there. This is chapter 3 of the Blue Vortex run, part of the Boruto's Return Arc in volume 1, first released in Japan late in 2023.
