Upon Amado’s request, Shikamaru was shown in the previous Boruto chapter having a conversation with Eida. Amado told Shikamaru that Eida has severed relations with Code and won’t be fighting on his side, and Shikamaru can count on her not to. Maybe because she had affections for Kawaki, Eida suggested they join forces with Konoha. When Shikamaru witnessed Daemon and Eida’s abilities, he had no option but to contact Naruto and Team Seven to discuss Eida’s proposal. While doing this, Code “adjusted” Ten-tails to a more manageable size with his limiters.
It appears that Code is no longer fighting this battle alone, as Ten-tails was able to pass past Code’s Claw markings after the transformation. Thus, Naruto was left with little option but to accept Eida’s assistance; nonetheless, it will be fascinating to observe how everyone else, notably Kawaki and Boruto, responds to this development. Chapter 73 of Boruto is about ready for release, so we should finally get to witness some of that action!

Boruto Chapter 73 The Point Is to Look at Eida’s Shocking Proposal
Spoilers for Chapter 73 have appeared online, even though the official release is still a full day away. Leaks suggest that Shikamaru accepts Eida’s offer (refusing it would have resulted in a death penalty) and suggests that Team 7 bunk in with Eida upon her arrival. Even though Eida is just listening in on the talk, she is overjoyed at the prospect of sharing a room with Kawaki.
On the contrary, Shikamaru stresses that remaining in the enemy’s camp is Team 7’s primary objective. Boruto and Kawaki’s odd alliance with Eida and Daemon (the most powerful entity they’ve ever seen) is a topic of conversation between Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto suddenly become aware of Momoshiki’s presence, and they turn to see him standing next to Boruto.
The sudden presence of Momoshiki may be terrible news, but we can’t be sure. When Boruto was fighting Kawaki, Momoshiki stepped in to protect him, but he was ultimately the cause of Kawaki’s decision to kill Boruto. The question of whether Momoshiki is an adversary or ally remains open.
