The Deca-Powers have now separated and evolved into knowledgeable Divine Trees, significantly stronger.
In the Naruto series, the Otsutsuki clan is regarded as one of the most fearsome antagonists. With characters like Kaguya, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Isshiki, and Urashiki, they have challenged the limits of Naruto and Sasuke by using Divine Trees to absorb chakra from planets. Despite their power, they are mortal beings, vulnerable to being slain, killed, or sealed.
The Emergence of a New Force in Boruto
In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the story unfolds to present a force even stronger and more dangerous than the Otsutsuki clan. The narrative begins with Code launching an attack on Konoha with his Claw Grime legion. Boruto has employed a new Rasengan technique to weaken Code and proceeds towards his lair.
There, Boruto stumbles upon new versions of the Deca-Powers, self-proclaimed as Divine Trees, awakened by their Prime Selves. These entities exist to drain all chakra from creatures and create chakra fruits. They bear resemblance to characters from the previous generation in the Naruto universe, but appear more savage and monstrous.
The Purpose of Divine Trees
Initially, the Otsutsuki clan utilized the Divine Trees to absorb chakra within the Infinite Tsukuyomi and generate chakra fruits, allowing them to evolve and become stronger. Following Isshiki's demise, Code's inadvertent creation of a colossal Divine Tree army awakened consciousness, seeking revenge and self-mastery.
The Divine Trees now possess consciousness, seeking a new purpose beyond being tools for extraterrestrial beings. They challenge traditional ninja understanding, including body transformation and energy absorption. Additionally, they possess immunity in ways their extraterrestrial predecessors couldn't. With Naruto and Sasuke out of the picture, Boruto faces the challenge of these divine entities without crucial allies.
The Divine Trees now pose a significant threat, not only due to their immense strength but also their conscious evolution and constant enhancement. They challenge traditional ninja combat beliefs, symbolizing a profound power shift in the Boruto universe.
Innovation in Villain Characters: A Necessity for Boruto
In the context of 'Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,' the story confronts the challenge of avoiding repetition from previous villainous characters like the Akatsuki and Kara organizations. While these groups had interesting characters, they were often predictable, serving as mere stepping stones in the story of central characters. The new Divine Tree legion offers an opportunity to break free from this pattern.
Until now, the Divine Trees have proven to be formidable adversaries, challenging both Code and Boruto. The presence of Koji Kashin as an advisor to Boruto highlights the necessary character and strategic development of the main character when facing these new challenges.
The circumstances compel young Otsutsuki, including Kawaki, to overcome their differences to confront the Divine Trees. The survival of Konoha and the world hinges on this unlikely alliance, underscoring the urgency of strategic cooperation among erstwhile adversaries.
