Part 2/8:
Chapter 20 of the recent series presents Konohamaru in a critical light, showcasing his growth as a ninja. Historically perceived as Naruto's shadow, he has aimed for greatness since childhood. His aspirations include becoming Hokage, a title that once only belonged to his mentor. Yet, until recently, the series had not provided him with substantial development outside the confines of Naruto's legacy.
In the latest chapter, fans witnessed a pivotal moment—a display of power with the Odama Rasengan. This technique, typically associated with Naruto utilizing Kurama's chakra while in Sage Mode, marks a monumental occasion for Konohamaru. For the first time, he performs this formidable jutsu independently, igniting discussions about his potential for evolution and independence.
