The latest chapter of “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations” was beyond what any fan has expected, and it has also opened the manga to so many possibilities. With “Boruto” chapter 39 getting released in a few weeks, some readers are certainly hoping that Naruto could escape Jigen’s seal somehow. Meanwhile, it is also possible for the manga to reveal a few more details about Isshiki Otsutsuki’s background.
‘Boruto’ chapter 39 predictions: Can Naruto break the seal and return to Konohagakure?
The chapter released in September was packed with action and important information. It ended with a massive cliffhanger as Jigen left Naruto for dead in a dimension only he and Sasuke can find. Making things worse, Jigen sealed Naruto’s location, making it even more impossible for the Seventh Hokage to escape while being impaled with several of Jigen’s rods. Naruto is badly injured in a barren dimension with a quickly diminishing chakra, so is it still possible for him to go free in “Boruto” chapter 39?
Given the current situation, fans might not want to count on seeing Naruto escape anytime soon. Sasuke, the only one who can find him, was also severely injured from their fight with Jigen. It will take time before he can regain his strength, and it might not even happen as soon as “Boruto” chapter 39. Additionally, it would make more sense for Sasuke and the other leaders in Konohagakure to focus on preparing for Jigen’s return after seeing how powerful he is.
‘Boruto’ chapter 39 to reveal more about Isshiki Otsutsuki?
One of the biggest revelations in chapter 38 was that Jigen is also just a vessel of another Otsutsuki member named Isshiki. At this point, there is very little information known about Isshiki aside from the speculations that he could be some sort of a twin to Kaguya. What is very clear is he is so powerful that Jigen’s body was literally cracking when he used more strength in fighting Sasuke and Naruto. With Konohagakure possibly regrouping to save Naruto and prepare for Jigen/Isshiki’s return to get Kawaki, “Boruto” chapter 39 might serve as an intermission for the arc and insert more details about Isshiki’s backstory. The next chapter will be officially released on Oct. 20.
