The death of Naruto Uzumaki in Boruto has been predicted to be a major event. This was hinted in the first chapter of Boruto when Kawaki revealed that he will send Boruto to the same place as Naruto. This suggests that Naruto has already died, and his son will be sent to the same place. So, what caused this chaotic situation in Boruto?
The main cause of this chaos is Kawaki, who becomes Boruto’s enemy in Chapter 79. It is revealed that Kawaki wants to kill all Otsutsuki, including Boruto, who he considered to be his own brother. He does this to make a safe place for Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata, as he believes that the current Otsutsuki possess Boruto’s body and will threaten the Hokage’s life.
Kawaki then sends Naruto and Hinata to a place called Daikokuten, where time does not flow and they will not age or experience hunger. His next plan is to use Eida to exchange his life with Boruto’s. He wants Boruto to be declared a foreigner who killed the seventh Hokage. This will make Naruto officially dead in the eyes of Konoha citizens and the world.
But in reality, Naruto is still alive and in another dimension. This is why he couldn’t help Boruto when he was struggling against the world. However, it is believed that Naruto will return, as he is the most prominent character in the series.
The turning point for Naruto’s return might be when Boruto defeats Kawaki, as shown in the first chapter. It is only a matter of time before we find out the fate of the Hokage and the future of the Boruto series.
