Yap fest incoming:
Was rereading Chapter 19 of TBV and I realized something while watching some youtube videos on this topic. I lowkey already touched on this topic offsite with
@Shadowbokunohero but I've got even more now:
Jura after seeing Matsuri's feelings of love towards Konohamaru, likened it to the InoShikaChou's love towards Himawari - as in, their love for Himawari as a comrade superseded their own survival instincts. Especially in the case of Inojin, who nearly lost his life, to protect Himawari knowing damn well he stood negative chances against Jura. Despite knowing that they had no chance against Jura, Team 10 still attempted to fight back. This was something that shocked Jura, because humans don't act rationally when their emotions are involved. But it's obvious to him that it's something they need to conquer in themselves (This is likely foreshadowing for the fates of the Shinju, more so Hidari though because we know emotions are also tied to Yin Release, which we know Uchihas have much of).
But we also see this happening within the fight between Konohamaru and Matsuri. Jura is basically saying that the attachment through bonds that Shinobi have keep them in that cycle of Samsara (birth, death, and rebirth) thanks to karma (actions have consequences).
Kawaki further drives this theory in Part 1, when he tries to kill Boruto and Sarada jumps in the way to protect him and Kawaki says "Shinobi... Hokage... you shinobi are really destined to die early." Kakashi even touches on this subject with Team 7 after they defeat Zabuza and Haku. Zabuza and Haku are supposed to be tools with no emotions yet Haku sacrifices himself to save Zabuza, and Zabuza cries after Naruto points out how hypocritical it is for Zabuza to say that Haku's just a tool and dies after betraying his contractors. But anyway, Kaguya's powers which trickled down to Hagoromo, which he then passed down to humanity, were all rooted from and based on that concept. These bonds what's stopping these Shinobi from reaching "enlightenment" (which is the goal, to break out of that Samsara cycle and reach Nirvana), which makes sense from the lense of Jura who's clearly being written to be an evolutionist.
It's poetic that he's the one who's pointing this all out because Isshiki's Karma is what Code used to create the Shinju in the first place. Isshiki's Dojutsu which has that eye pattern, that's based on the Dharma Wheel, which transcends even the concept of Samsara (or in this case, transcending even Kaguya "The Mother of Chakra (on Earth)".
But anyway, we see that with Konohamaru as well. Konohamaru was struggling to get past that bond he has with Moegi that he saw in Matsuri (as we know this through that flashback he had of he and Moegi when they were kids), and even after he hits her with his Rasengans, he's unable to do the job because of those feelings that are holding him back. It's a complete cycle.
