In the latest chapter of the Boruto manga, there was an emotional scene between Boruto and Mitsuki. Mitsuki had initially wanted to kill Boruto, believing he was responsible for Kawaki’s death.
However, after learning that Boruto did not actually kill the Seventh Hokage and was not an enemy, Mitsuki decided not to go through with it.
During their conversation, Boruto told Mitsuki that he was his “sun” – something Mitsuki had said before to show how much Boruto meant to him. This was surprising since Mitsuki had never directly told Boruto that he saw him in that way.
This raises some interesting questions – how did Boruto know he was Mitsuki’s precious “sun”? Did he learn about how Mitsuki viewed him during the time skip that hasn’t been shown yet in the manga?
The scene hints at character growth and a deepening bond between the two friends.
Boruto’s Potential Revelations and Orochimaru’s Influence
Chapter 7 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex focused heavily on Mitsuki’s inner turmoil. Originally seeking to kill Boruto as revenge for Kawaki’s supposed death, Mitsuki was conflicted.
Previously, Mitsuki had viewed Kawaki as his precious “sun” who gave him purpose. But that light had dimmed, leaving Mitsuki feeling lost and hopeless.
Interestingly, Boruto seemed aware of Mitsuki’s emotional dependency on having a shining “sun.” He told Mitsuki that his true sun was not Kawaki, but Boruto himself.
This was a big reveal, as Mitsuki had never outright told Boruto he was his guiding light. So how did Boruto know the importance he held for Mitsuki?
The scene hints at a deeper bond formed between them during the time skip not yet shown.
While touching, it raises questions as to how Boruto knew of Mitsuki’s inner turmoil and status as his metaphorical sun.
This emotional exchange suggests character growth and strengthened ties from off-screen development.
The revelation that Boruto knew he was Mitsuki’s “sun” raises questions, as Mitsuki had only shared this with Orochimaru and Log.
This suggests Boruto may have interacted with Orochimaru or Log during the time skip. In the year after fleeing the village, Boruto was with Sasuke, who has ties to Orochimaru.
It’s possible Sasuke took Boruto to see Orochimaru for help. The last time we saw Orochimaru in the anime, he was healing Mitsuki after his fight with Deepa outside the Leaf Village.
So Sasuke and Boruto may have visited Orochimaru at the start of the time skip – perhaps to heal Boruto’s injured eye after they left the village.
Through this potential meeting, Boruto could have learned that Mitsuki considered him his precious “sun” from either Orochimaru or Log.
Mystery of Mitsuki’s Sun
During a potential visit to Orochimaru’s hideout with Sasuke, Boruto may have discussed Eida’s Omnipotence Shinjutsu, gaining Orochimaru as an ally.
In response, Orochimaru could have revealed more about Mitsuki to Boruto. He may have told Boruto that he encouraged Mitsuki to see him as his guiding “sun”, hoping it would help Mitsuki find his own path in life.
Through this conversation, Boruto would have learned that he was Mitsuki’s precious “sun” before their emotional exchange in chapter 7.
However, there is also the possibility that Boruto deduced it himself based on how Mitsuki spoke about Kawaki. Mitsuki’s dependence on Kawaki as his light may have tipped off Boruto that he had previously filled that role for Mitsuki.
While Boruto may have learned the “sun” information from Orochimaru, he also could have realized it himself during their conversation in chapter 7. The manga has yet to confirm how Boruto knew, leaving it an intriguing mystery for now.
