Wood Release is known to be one of the most incredible Kekkei Genkai that fans have seen in Naruto to date. This Kekkei Genkai is incredibly overpowered, as was clear from Hashirama’s usage of it. Using the power for Wood Release, the user can manipulate vegetation at will, and even produce wooden structures, along with much else. Even whole forests can be produced using Wood Release, and what's more, this Kekkei Genkai also allows the user the alter the terrain to their advantage.

Wood Release also has another big advantage, and that is being able to suppress the power of a Tailed Beast. This Kekkei Genkai is, undoubtedly, one of the most incredible in the series, and now, it is in possession of the Shinju, who serve as the main villains of the ongoing arcs.

In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22, fans saw Jura clash with Boruto Uzumaki in a much-anticipated battle, and finally, he unleashed the power of Wood Release. Jura intends to kill Boruto Uzumaki, and with Wood Release, one can easily restrain targets with even the strongest chakra. However, Boruto Uzumaki was able to counter the power of Wood Release with his strongest Justu, Rasengan Uzuhiko.

Uzuhiko Can Utilize The Planet’s Rotation

As seen in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22, Rasengan Uzuhiko was the perfect counter for Wood Release. There is no denying that Wood Release is very strong and can suppress strong chakra, however, with Uzuhiko, Boruto Uzumaki has been previously seen as capable of coating his body in rotational energy which generates wind too. By using the Rotation of the planet, Boruto was easily able to break free from Wood Release. All he needs to do is keep his feet planted on the ground.

As was seen in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22, Boruto Uzumaki was able to teleport and land a powerful Uzuhiko on Jura, weakening him for a bit. Undoubtedly, Jura is strong, but even he felt the hit that Boruto delivered after countering Wood Release. Of course, Jura is still stronger than Boruto, and even if his Wood Release is countered, he has a hundred other ways to beat Boruto Uzumaki.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 22 is set for its official release on May 20, 2025. The release time of the chapter is 10 AM EST/ 3 PM UTC. As always, fans can read the chapter officially for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump apps.
