Mamushi’s Hidden Power in Boruto Manga
Why Has Mamushi Remained Silent Until Now?
Why has Mamushi remained silent, refusing to make a move, even though he could’ve teamed up with Jura and started hunting down Eida by now? What’s stopping him? What hidden goal is he pursuing?
To get to the bottom of this, let’s unpack a pretty compelling theory. It might not be long before he finally enters the scene—especially when all eyes shift to the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha ends up wide open.
That moment might be when Mamushi finally reveals his true nature as a predator, patiently lying in wait. This character, who at first glance seems low-profile and passive, might actually be way more dangerous than he lets on. Out of the entire Shinju squad, he draws the least suspicion—which might be his biggest strength. Mamushi is the type who waits, observes, and absorbs every single detail.
And now’s the perfect time to explore why he could be one of the most underestimated players in all of Boruto’s story.
One short exchange between Ryu and Matsuri completely flipped the narrative. Matsuri suddenly said, “You can tell Boruto dropped a toad here just by the trees.” Ryu, totally confused, asked, “What trees? We’re in the middle of a desert!” And Matsuri replied like it was some kind of mantra: “They’re here. Everywhere. Even underground.”
That line wasn’t just weird—it was symbolic. It hinted that behind what we see, there’s a deeper, almost mythical layer of reality. Lines like that have always been a part of the Naruto universe: simple on the surface, but packed with hidden meaning underneath.
Each member of the Ten Tails’ team has unique combat abilities.
Matsuri, with her rare Wood Release heritage, is a fortress with crushing power. Hidari, combining Sasuke’s techniques, beast strength, and the Rinnegan, is pure destruction. Ryu controls Iron Sand with pinpoint accuracy and elegance, turning any battlefield into a chessboard.
But Mamushi? He’s a different story.
His role doesn’t really fit into any familiar category. On the surface, he’s just an old man named Bug—frail-looking, uncertain, and practically defenseless. But the more you watch him, the more it becomes clear that weakness is an illusion.
Mamushi’s Hidden Powers and Deadly Intelligence
Everything shifts the moment Eida uses her clairvoyance technique. Mamushi is the only one who instantly reacts to her power. Not only that—he immediately senses the mysterious ally standing near Boruto. Why just him? How did he pick up on something everyone else missed?
It’s like he can feel the moment Otsutsuki-related powers activate. His appearances always line up with moments when Boruto or Eida taps into divine abilities. That can’t be a coincidence. It’s possible Mamushi can literally sense surges of that kind of energy. And that type of sensory awareness is a deadly tool.
It’s not just about avoiding danger—he could be planning moves ahead of time, based on energy patterns that slip past everyone else. And Eida? She seems to know this—and fears him for it.
If that theory’s correct, Mamushi isn’t just some “old guy lurking in the background.” He’s a thinker. A tactician. A scout with rare insight and analysis skills. His behavior feels like a game of Go: silent observation, waiting, then a sharp, calculated strike.
We’ve already seen this when he first met Boruto. He didn’t waste energy. He didn’t make any extra moves. He commands Tsumeaka creatures with ease, which tells us he’s got an incredibly high level of control.
He could be playing the role of an “invisible general” under Jura’s leadership, testing Konoha’s readiness for an attack while Boruto and Kawaki are out of the village. And if it ever comes to it, maybe only three people could stop him: Daemon, Himawari, and Shikamaru.
But the real key to understanding Mamushi is his past identity—Bug. He was tied to the Kara organization, under Boro’s command. That’s when he got mixed up in the Otsutsuki cult.
Back then, Boruto got orders to eliminate Eida, but her ability took hold of him. Instead of killing her, he hid her and left her under Bug’s protection. Eida’s charm got to Bug too—just like everyone else. But unlike most, Bug didn’t lose his grip. He became a protector. A survivor. A strategist.
Years in isolation, constantly on alert, hardened him.
He managed resources, built connections, stayed undetected. That shaped him into something close to superhuman in patience and intellect. He knew not just the strengths, but the weaknesses of both Eida and Daemon. He studied their habits, their power, their reflexes—and most likely figured out how to neutralize them if needed.
Now, that experience has turned into something much bigger.
Mamushi isn’t just some ex-Kara member anymore. He’s a living archive of strategic intel. He knows how Kara operated. He gets the Otsutsuki philosophy. And he sees straight through the illusions Eida and Daemon are wrapped in. He has answers no one else has.
Right now, staying in the shadows, he might seem inactive. But that’s just another illusion.
Mamushi is already making moves behind the curtain—calculating both ally actions and enemy weak spots. He doesn’t charge in at the first opportunity. He waits. He’s like a cobra coiled in the dark—still, but lethal.
And now that Jura has arrived in the Sand Village, Mamushi might be ready to make his move.
Could Mamushi Be the Ultimate Threat to Konoha?
What if Mamushi attacks Konoha in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 23?
What if it’s just a test—a way to gauge their strength before launching a full-scale assault later on?
At a critical moment, Eida could use the device Koji left behind to summon Boruto. And his arrival could flip the board entirely. That might be the moment we finally see Mamushi act.
He could change everything. The one who’s been quietly watching might become the ultimate catalyst.
His silence isn’t weakness—it’s supreme readiness.
He’s waiting. And that’s what makes him truly terrifying. Is Mamushi the most dangerous threat in Boruto? Discover his secret past, hidden powers, and why his silence may change everything in Boruto Two Blue Vortex Manga.
