Only True Fans Knows Mitsuki: The Enigma of Team 7

Mitsuki's character is a blend of the past and the future, of science and sentiment. Both manga and anime, Mitsuki stands out as a character

For todays special Anime post, let's dive into the world of "Boruto," and Mitsuki is our guest of attraction.

 Both manga and anime, Mitsuki stands out as a character shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Created by Orochimaru, Mitsuki is not just a simple clone but an artificial being with scrambled genetics aimed at perfection. His journey from being an experiment to becoming a vital member of Team 7 is a testament to his complex nature.

Mitsuki's Origins: Beyond the Clone

While many fans know Mitsuki as the son of Orochimaru, only the truest fans are aware of the deeper layers of his creation. Mitsuki is not Orochimaru's only "child";  he has a rebellious older 'brother' named Log, hinting at the possibility of numerous other clones deemed imperfect by Orochimaru¹.

Mitsuki Calculated Independence

Mitsuki's decision to leave Orochimaru and join the Ninja Academy in Konoha was a calculated move by his creator. Orochimaru intended for Mitsuki to become close to the young genin of the village, potentially using him as a spy. 

This revelation adds a layer of complexity to Mitsuki's character, as he navigates his path between manipulation and genuine relationships.

Mitsuki Bond with Serpents

True fans are aware of Mitsuki's unique connection with snakes, inherited from Orochimaru. 

This bond is evident in his comfort with serpents and his use of them in ninjutsu, reflecting the genetic influence of his 'parent'.

The Moon and the Sun to Mitsuki

Mitsuki's name itself is a clue to his destiny. In Japanese, 'Mitsuki' (巳月) can be interpreted as 'snake' and 'moon,' symbolizing his origin and his quest for identity. 

Upon learning about Boruto Uzumaki, Mitsuki decided to go to Konoha to find his own path, with Boruto being his 'sun' — the source of his enlightenment.

Mitsuki is a Loyal Companion

Despite his origins and the potential for darkness, Mitsuki has shown unwavering loyalty to his teammates, especially Boruto and Sarada. His dedication to Team 7 and their missions goes beyond mere duty, indicating a deep sense of camaraderie and belonging.

The Sage's Power

One of the most fascinating aspects of Mitsuki is his ability to achieve Sage Mode at such a young age, a feat that positions him as one of the most potent shinobi of his generation. This power, however, is used sparingly due to the strain it puts on his body.

Mitsuki's character is a blend of the past and the future, of science and sentiment. For fans of "Boruto," he represents the evolving nature of the shinobi world, where the lines between human and artificial blur, creating a new era of possibilities. Lord Onoki once  wants this, and Mitsuki is it.
