Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episode 292 aired last week, and it featured a battle between adopted brothers Kawaki and Boruto. Kawaki succeeded in reactivating his karma power, regaining his strength to face Boruto, who was possessed by the power of Momoshiki. Their fight ended with Boruto collapsing with a massive hole in his chest. In the Boruto manga, Boruto’s death happened in chapter 66.
Everyone believed Boruto was dead when he fell, but Naruto continued to believe that it was just a dream. Shikamaru, Naruto’s friend, helped him recover and regain consciousness. Suddenly, in the midst of their conversation, Boruto interrupted and surprised them. They checked on Boruto, and he was no longer in the same condition he was before. It turned out that Boruto didn’t die and was able to survive the brink of death, thanks to the power of Momoshiki.
When Boruto was on the brink of death, 82% of Momoshiki’s DNA had already been extracted. The rest had to be extracted through Boruto’s body for Momoshiki to be revived completely. However, Momoshiki’s resurrection would be impossible if his vessel, Boruto, died. To prevent his death, Momoshiki used 18% of his remaining karma power to heal and revive Boruto.
The extraction was done improperly, and the 18% of karma left were used to revive Boruto, making it impossible for Momoshiki to be revived. However, since all the information was extracted, Boruto has become a pure Otsutsuki. This recent transformation has reignited Code’s desire to capture him and offer him to the ten-tailed beast.
Since Boruto’s transformation into a pure Otsutsuki, significant events have occurred in Konoha. Eida, who was initially an observer, is now in Konoha because of her feelings towards Kawaki. Kawaki plans to escape Konoha and kidnap Naruto and Hinata in another dimension. Meanwhile, he still intends to kill Boruto. As Kawaki fails to kill Boruto, Eida decides to help him with her power. She then swaps their roles in their memories, with Kawaki becoming Naruto’s child and Boruto becoming an alien creature hunted down by Konoha.
In conclusion, Boruto’s transformation into an Otsutsuki has significant impacts on Konoha. From the emergence of new threats to the switch of roles between Kawaki and Boruto, it sets the stage for an intense battle that could determine the fate of the hidden leaf village.
