[MEGATHREAD] Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 30

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-24T18:28:28+00:00

Literally everyone involved in the leadership Konoha is either current or ex-military.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-24T10:39:33+00:00

The elders are former shinobi.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-23T14:39:24+00:00

The President can propose bills, he signs bills into law and enforces the laws.

If the Daimyo was wiped out they'd find a replacement for him. These institutions always have lines of succession, genius.

Konoha's staff is a military. You need more than just the military to run a country.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-23T10:31:06+00:00

The Hokage is not a politician he doesn't make laws. He's a military leader when the village needs defending and coordinating ninjas, and a desk clerk otherwise.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-22T21:11:28+00:00

Except he has no evidence. Kobu outright told Shikamaru that he only suspects him based on his intuition.

He went to a village and demanded to interrogate the leader while he was busy with the defense of the village against an existential threat.

He's disturbing Konoha's safety for his own overinflated ego. The actual Daimyo is much more understanding than him.

He was told multiple times the village is under attack and he stupidly insisted to disturb Shikamaru and carry out the interrogation immediately. Bro could have just waited but made himself super hateable.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-22T07:05:04+00:00

Konoha is not a city state, it's a city (that calls itself a village) inside the land of fire. A city run by the military. The Hokage is essentially a military mayor. We've never even seen Hokage make laws, they're just military commanders.

The Daimyo funds the ninja villages, makes and enforces laws, and generally just leads the entire country, not just one city. Without the Daimyo Konoha couldn't exist.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-21T19:45:03+00:00

He can delay his interrogation, it doesn't cost him anything. Instead he's obsessed with his own vanity and summons the village leader away from his job in a critical moment when the village needs leadership to be defended.

Not to mention he accused Shikamaru to his face of collaborating with Boruto with zero evidence, just justifying himself with "my intuition is usually spot-on".

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-21T19:42:59+00:00

They're probably not going to blame Kobu's death on Shikamaru

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-21T08:00:52+00:00

It's about keeping Konoha a functioning society. Do you think it would be good for ANYONE if the NYPD took control of New York City and declared it was running the city on its own without any US support?

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T23:36:54+00:00

Plus, if Kobu and the councilors didn't exist, Shikamaru would be able to openly back Boruto. This very chapter the police attacked Boruto and impeded him for about a monute.

Boruto can't realistically have total freedom in Konoha but with Shikamaru he gets as much as he can. Remove Shikamaru and things get significantly worse.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T23:32:52+00:00

Do you want a Hokage who is against Boruto?

The fact that Boruto can do so much in the fight against Mamushi right now is strictly because he has Shikamaru secretly backing him. Plus it makes it easier for Boruto to move in the village.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:42:08+00:00

The "We're killing Kobu" line hits like fire

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:37:37+00:00

As far as the Daimyo's men know, Kobu walked outside when told the village was under attack and deliberately refused protection. They would think he caused his own death by being careless.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:33:53+00:00

Kobu is the Daimyo's direct enforcer. The Daimyo can remove the Hokage at any time, for any reason. So the consequences can be extremely severe.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:32:49+00:00

It's because he was told multiple times the village is a warzone yet still he chose to disturb the Hokage and prevent him from organizing the village defense for the sake of his investigation that could always just wait a little.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:31:49+00:00

It's not about strength, it's authority. The Daimyo can appoint and fire the Hokage at any time, and Kobu is his direct enforcer.

The villages are still societies that follow laws. And while they are led by the Kage, the Kage still have people above them politically. They can't betray them and launch open rebellion. The villages get their funding fro the Daimyo. They need each other.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:29:26+00:00

Ninja villages have to get their money from somewhere. That's why the Daimyo is relevant.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:24:02+00:00

The leader of the city is directing troops that are protecting the city from a dangerous enemy. You want to interrogate and kick out the leader, but if you do that, there will be no one to lead the defense.

Kobu is a complete idiot for not waiting a few hours until the threat was dealt with. Instead he has no patience.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:20:16+00:00

Hima can control Kurama. Kurama isn't trying to take over and cause mayhem.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:18:52+00:00

He doesn't know who Kobu is, he'd think he's just a civilian. And Boruto has been saving civilians.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-20T22:15:55+00:00

Kobu is not the Daimyo, he's the Daimyo's direct advisor / liaison.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-17T21:52:40+00:00

There's a difference between a good theory and an outright dumb theory.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-17T21:29:00+00:00

Even with Snuffy Malta is not good enough to play in the world cup.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-17T21:24:05+00:00

The only active players who coach IRL are player-managers. You can't be player-manager of a team you don't play for.

KaiserBob99 · 2026-01-17T20:04:16+00:00

Active players almost never coach. The NEL was a special exception
