Yes, Boruto Will Come Back to Life! Here’s What Happened!

Boruto Uzumaki is the principal protagonist of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generation series. He is the son of Naruto and Hinata, as well as Himawari’s older brother. He is an exceptionally skilled shinobi who is the focus of the sequel to Naruto, especially since, from the series’ first scene, he seems to be fighting his adopted brother, Kawaki, for the future of the shinobi era. The relationship between Boruto and Kawaki is quite complex, and from what it seems, this complexity will have numerous implications for the future of the world of shinobi. In Chapter 66 of the Boruto manga, which was adapted in Episode 292 of the Boruto anime, Kawaki seemingly killed Boruto, and in this article, you’re going to find out whether Boruto died in the series or not.

Despite Kawaki actually creating a fatal hole in Boruto’s chest in Chapter 66 of the Boruto manga, as shown in Episode 292, it is shown in Chapter 67 and Episode 293 that Boruto did not die. Momoshiki used Boruto as a vessel for himself in order to survive, and as such, he valued him too highly to allow him to die, which is why he intervened and saved him. And this is how Boruto came back to life.

The rest of this article will give you additional details on the first fight between Kawaki and Boruto, as well as the answer to all the questions related to Boruto’s apparent death in the manga. We now know that Boruto did not die in this fight, so we can confirm that we will tell you more details about the events that led to Boruto’s apparent death.

Kawaki seemingly killed Boruto, but the latter was saved by Momoshiki

If you remember what happened at the beginning of Chapter 66, which was adapted into Episode 292 of the Boruto anime series, Kawaki remembers Amado’s suggestion to acquire a new Kāma. Ada thinks that Amado never gave Kawaki a choice and that he restored the kāma while he recovered his right arm because he anticipated that Kawaki would yearn for more power. Code deduces that Amado chose him as a target to activate Kawaki’s power. Shikamaru pays attention to Code’s responses and ascertains he has a supporter.

Amado’s motives for creating the new kama are attributed to Momoshiki, who is shocked. Others will use him until he is surrendered to the Ten-Tails. He snarks at Kawaki. Code wonders what Amado attempts to achieve as Naruto and Code observe Kawaki utilizing Isshiki’s jutsu to attack Momoshiki. Kawaki begins to understand something.

Kawaki interrupts Naruto as he expresses concern for him and tells him that Shikamaru is still a hostage, but he doesn’t seem to care much. He assures Naruto that he will take care of his needs. Both Momoshiki and Kawaki consider each other’s ninjutsu when attacking one another. Kawaki is still employing Sukunahikona and Daikokuten to battle Momoshiki.

Suddenly, Boruto’s individuality shows itself. As Kawaki tries to smash Momoshiki with cubes after piercing him with chakra rods, Naruto shields Boruto. Code claims that Naruto has developed and no longer finds killing Shikamaru to be worthwhile. After a while, Naruto starts to doubt whether actually killing Boruto is what he wants to accomplish. If Boruto is Naruto’s son, then killing Momoshiki, who Kawaki claims is a demon out to murder Naruto, is the right thing to do.

He is charged with behaving demonically by Naruto. Kawaki dismisses him and offers to finish the job, as Naruto cannot do so on his own. When Naruto tells him to calm down, Kawaki responds that he must face reality. The latter is taken aback when Boruto wakes up and tells Momoshiki to go back to sleep. He says that Amado’s medication has somewhat helped, but given that he almost killed Naruto, he admits that it is not a long-term solution.

Kawaki asks him whether he recalls what he said before, and Boruto replies that he does. Kawaki finds it sorry that Boruto accepts their desperate plan’s implementation.

In addition to apologizing and responding to Naruto’s query with “What is it?” he repels him with Wind Release: Gale Palm. Boruto asks Kawaki to complete the mission while he can still hold Momoshiki back. Kawaki twists Boruto’s arm, then creates a massive hole in his chest, shocking everyone.

It appeared that Boruto had passed away at this point. For all fans, it was a very upsetting moment, but thankfully, the next chapter (67) and episode (293) actually gave us a resolution to this problem and confirmed that Boruto did not die. So, what happened? Well, Naruto follows Boruto in making rapid movements. Ada warns Code that she won’t let him sacrifice Kawaki while he mulls his options. As he prepares to go, he releases Shikamaru and cautions Kawaki that someone will always try to control him.

Kawaki keeps doing this as Code creates additional scratch marks to prevent him from running away. He challenges him, demanding to know why he let Boruto escape and threatening to murder anyone who puts Naruto in danger. Code is frightened as Kawaki overpowers him after he successfully avoids his strike and tries to retaliate with Taijutsu.

Shikamaru joins Naruto, who is in such shock that he cannot maintain Sage Mode, and tries to awaken him. He demands that they help Kawaki handle the code and yells at Naruto that Boruto chose this to protect them. If his ally turns against Naruto, Kawaki is prepared to blow up Code and vows to show no mercy. Code notices the gaping scratch on his cheek as Kawaki slams him.

When the smoke clears, Shikamaru is shocked to see Kawaki being thrown back. Daemon has been awakened by Code to reflect Kawaki’s blow. Although Daemon is eager to fight, Code sends him back to Ada. Ada provides a warning, and he checks on Kawaki before telling her that he is still alive. She says if he wasn’t, she’d send Daemon to have him killed. Code reluctantly admits that Kawaki is unbeatable, decides to let Amado free him, and then leaves. Shikamaru tells Naruto they need to decide how to handle Kawaki when he immediately kills his coworker.

Despite Naruto’s assertions that it wasn’t entirely his fault, Shikamaru is adamant about acting. He underlines that they should consider the other villages and get ready for a backlash in Konoha, given the response to Kawaki. If Kawaki has joined their family after killing his child, Shikamaru wonders if Naruto can really accept him.

Boruto comments that it would be rude to ignore him before asking who was killed before turning to confront Naruto. Shikamaru is startled by Naruto, who is sobbing and holding Boruto. Shikamaru notes that Boruto’s chest wound has completely healed. Momoshiki’s spirit tells Boruto that losing the vessel would also mean losing his soul, which makes him too valuable for Momoshiki to lose.

After using a portion of the Kāma to resuscitate Boruto, he rewrites the remaining compressed data with Boruto’s data to create Boruto’s tissues and heal him. This is a victory for Boruto because it prevents Momoshiki from being revived in his body. The code will soon discover that since the Kāma data was all Ōtsutsuki, regardless of whether it was modified or not, Boruto is now a full Ōtsutsuki and is, therefore, qualified to give himself as a sacrifice to the Ten-Tails. He is told not to be upset by this by Momoshiki.

Boruto believes this will buy him some time to look for the Code, but Momoshiki warns him that he won’t be brought back to life the next time. Later, Boruto is seen conversing with Kawaki on Hokage Rock, where both affirm what “everything” meant to them: for Kawaki, it was Naruto’s safety, and for Boruto, it was proving Momoshiki wrong. The two then leave, but the problem is not solved, as the manga revealed, but that is a completely different issue and a topic we have, partially at least, already written about on here.
