The latest chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (Chapter 78) confirms a timeskip that will happen soon. In the previous chapter (77), Kawaki left Konoha because of his differences with Boruto. For Kawaki, Boruto is almost completely controlled by Momoshiki. Thus, to protect Konoha, Boruto needs to be eliminated. Kawaki, who has suffered since he was a child as a vessel for Isshiki, has personal revenge to wipe out the Otsutsuki clan, including Boruto, who has been marked with karma to become a vessel of Momoshiki.
In the end of chapter 77, Kawaki takes Naruto and Hinata to another dimension. Chapter 78, titled “The Fool,” will focus on the impact of Naruto and Hinata’s disappearance. As a beloved Hokage among the people, their loss will cause panic in the public. Moreover, Chapter 78 will explain that Kawaki plans to murder Boruto once again. When Boruto’s friends learn about it, they rush to save him. However, when Kawaki attacks Boruto again, he reveals that Naruto and Hinata are in another dimension that has stopped. He tells Boruto that he will never be able to find them. Kawaki’s revenge has completely blinded him, making him unable to weigh things with his conscience.
For Kawaki, destroying the Otsutsuki clan is the most important thing, even if he has to kill his friend and adoptive brother Boruto. During their second battle, Sarada suddenly appears and stops Kawaki. Even Kawaki tries to attack Sarada but stops when Boruto intervenes. As a result, Boruto’s right eye is injured. Other Konoha shinobi, such as Sasuke, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, and Mitsuki, also try to stop Kawaki who is still out of control. At the same time, Boruto loses control and becomes Momoshiki. However, instead of attacking Kawaki, he asks him to leave.
With the conflict between Kawaki and the Konoha shinobi, plus Kawaki’s kidnapping of Naruto and Boruto, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations’ storyline is becoming more and more intriguing. Especially with Kawaki’s actions, where he seeks to destroy the Otsutsuki clan, which clashes with Konoha shinobi who prefer to save Boruto. Additionally, Momoshiki’s prediction becomes more interesting to watch, whether Boruto can control the power within him or whether he will lose and Momoshiki’s prediction will come true.
