Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13 Spoilers : Konoha's Destruction

The next chapter of the Boruto Two Blue Vortex will be out on the 20th of this month, which means we will be getting the preview pages and likely spoilers to the next chapter of the manga. 
 
The preview itself is hyping up the fight between Boruto and Jura to be the destruction of Konoha as we know it. 
 
On the teaser preview, we can see Jura looming in the background looking down on Boruto and Kawaki as the two of them are in a heated dispute before we see a bijuu dama bullet shoot out and slamming on Boruto's chest.

Down below we can see the additional bodies that Jura collected alongside Himawari screaming in pain and Sarada being shot. The various texts over the preview paint a very daunting, horrific future for the upcoming chapter, which shows Boruto getting shot was indeed something that made things a lot worse than maybe even some of the most edged Lord of the Rings the Rings fans among us has ever anticipated, and it shows just how much of a protective barrier Boruto's presence has served for Konoha. 
 

The first line of the text says Konoha falls, Boruto's caught off guard, and Jura pierces his chest. The line underneath states that Jura is overwhelming Konoha with tremendous power. What will be the ending of Boruto Vs. Jura? The remaining text goes on to hype up Boruto Two Blue Vortex volume 3, which will contain Chapters 9–12. So basically, Himawari awakens the nine tails chakra all up to this last chapter.
 
Personally upfront, I don't think that we should jump to the conclusion that Konoha gets nuked, like we saw in the opening chapter of Boruto Naruto Next Generation, where the flash of sequence shows only Boruto and Kawaki as the survivors in a dystopia known as Konoha in terms of a wreckage. 
 
People on Twitter are also thinking that this is the case. I disagree for a number of reasons:
We know with certainty what Boruto's age is during that scene because back in 2017, when the anime's first episode came out, studio Pierrot released a character sheet for Boruto, and his age was listed at 16 years old. Boruto right now is currently 15, and based on what Amado said in Boruto Naruto Next Generations, there was a six-month time gap between when Amado arrived in Konoha and the ending of Boruto Part 1.
 
The timeline simply doesn't add up if you go with this being the moment where Konoha was destroyed and where you do boruto vs. kawaki.
 



Boruto and Sarada were 11 in Naruto Gaiden, the seventh hokage in the Scarlet Springs, so for anime only viewers, that's what you refer to in Shin Uchiha's arc of Boruto's anime, of which we know the age through the official author statement from the Naruto series Creator Masashi Kishimoto; they were 11 years old there. Boruto and Sarada were freshly 12 in the Momoshiki arc because Boruto had his birthday a few days before that. Going by the Amado statement, Boruto was just over 12 and a half years old when Boruto Part 1 ended because there's six months that have passed. Basically, he's 12 going on 13 the same way that Naruto was 13 when the Naruto series Part 1 ended, and after the 2 and a half-year timeskip between Naruto volumes 27 and 28, Naruto was 15 going on 16 when he returns to Konoha, and he turned 16 during that six-month time gap between the Tenchy Bridge arc and when Sasuke defeated Orochimaru.
 
We still need more things to happen before we get to that boiling point with Kawaki, where he and Boruto fight, but it's clear that the story is building towards that moment where the kid has a giant meltdown in the future. Everything that we've seen up until this point post timeskip, it has been building towards that very moment.
 
People want to see the battle that was teased 8 years ago, but we're still in the midst of Boruto's flashback leading up to that point, so strap in, let the story cook, and just enjoy the ride. 

However, the prospect of Jura doing some heavy damage to Konoha, now that's very intriguing.
 
Kawaki is pretending to be Naruto's son. Konoha remembers Naruto's firstborn child as a kid who protected the village from Ishiki, and many of them know he played a key role in rescuing Naruto from Momoshiki.
 
Naruto's child is a hero associated with there being minimum damage, even if it wasn't always his doing. The true son of Naruto has kept damage to a minimum in the eyes of a lot of villagers, which is why Kawaki is being forced to walk in the shoes of a great man, and he's not going to live up to those expectations that were set by Boruto. 
 
If Konoha takes heavy damage, it is a very cool parallel to show how Boruto is on the opposite end of Kawaki. One's actions are driven by love and a sense of duty versus the others actions, while they carry an undertone of love and a sense of duty for Naruto; they are mostly driven by his own selfish need for survival in maintaining a life. That's not to say that Kawaki feels nothing for Konoha because he does, just as someone can grow to love someone they didn't initially care about.

In Kawaki's eyes, Naruto is the North Star, and he is looking towards that star at times for guidance, so the idea of Konoha taking damage to any significant amount doesn't have to be a mass-scale destruction of the village, but any real damage to the village that he couldn't stop is going to be a nice injection for Kawaki's character. 
 
Another thing that the narrator says is that Boruto was off guard when he got hit by the tiny compressed bijuu dama beam. So Boruto isn't that weak. We are also told that this is the ending of Boruto versus Jura and that Jura is overwhelming Konoha with tremendous power, and I believe that several people are done for the count right now.

Jura already has Hidari's soul thorn which is one of his priorities. But I think he will attempt to fulfill his promise by killing Boruto, and it will probably happen when Kawaki is put to sleep for the 100th time in this chapter and Delta smashed so hard she is on her back.
 
The main question still stands: are we ending this arc with a momoshiki reveal even if it is brief and Boruto regains control since he has shown the capability to control karma? In a sense, he can suppress momoshiki better when he is in a situation when he has more chakra.
