After Kawaki suspected Momoshiki of still being in possession of Boruto’s body, the events of chapter 77 of Boruto proved to be a pivotal moment in the series plot. According to the vision the younger Uzumaki saw in Chapter 75 and confirmed by Momoshiki, a significant crisis, potentially involving Kawaki, would generate commotion in the village and turn the other young people against the older karma user. Fans were caught off guard by the drastic measure Kawaki took to defend Naruto, and this chapter may mark the beginning of the karma-ascent user’s prominence as an adversary in the series. The impact of Kawaki’s actions in Boruto chapter 77, particularly with reference to Naruto’s involvement in the narrative, is discussed here. The end of Boruto chapter 77 might mark a significant break from the storyline for Naruto.
What Kawaki Has Decided
Kawaki grabbed Boruto at the beginning of chapter 77, and he demanded that Momoshiki Otsutsuki show himself so that the older karma user could finally vanquish him. Shikamaru sought to soothe Kawaki’s agitation by bringing up the tragedy of Naruto witnessing the death of his kid. Unfortunately, this just served to convince Kawaki that he had no choice but to prevent Naruto from interfering in any way since the Hokage would not sit by and let his son be slaughtered. With his chakra signature concealed and his physical size reduced using Sukunahikona, he was able to successfully evade the Sensory Unit’s pursuit once he left the residence.
Kawaki visited the Uzumaki home in Boruto chapter 77 when he announced his plans to eliminate the whole Otsutsuki clan, Boruto included. Even though Hinata smacked him and called him insane, he stuck to his decision, saying that he didn’t think anybody would understand his need to keep Naruto safe. Kawaki made his move when the Seventh Hokage challenged the karma-bearer, saying that the latter would have to go through him in order to reach his son. Using his karma, he created a gateway that whisked Naruto and Hinata away to another world. After killing Kurama and destroying Sasuke’s Rinnegan, Kawaki imprisoned Naruto away in another world to keep him from interfering with his search for the Otsutsuki.
The relevance of Chapter 77 after the Time Jump
Since it became clear early on in the series that Kawaki was obsessed with safeguarding the Seventh Hokage, viewers were already doubtful that the older karma user would kill someone he almost worships and looks up to as a father figure. After the release of chapter 77 of Boruto, fans were eager to point out that the idea they had been holding onto about Naruto’s destiny in the series was proven. The hypothesis proposed that Kawaki meant to refer to his choice to send Naruto to another realm when he threatened Boruto in the post-timeskip scene by saying that he would send the blond shinobi where he had sent the Seventh Hokage. In any case, the chapter implies that this is the last time we’ll see Naruto for a long.
After the time jump, Kawaki has a talk with Boruto, and if he’s referring to what happened in chapter 77, then Naruto and Hinata will be stuck in the parallel universe for at least three years. There appears to have been a time jump of at least three to four years since both Boruto and Kawaki look significantly older in the scene, which is comparable to the time jump between the pre-Shippuden and Shippuden eras of the Naruto series. Through the years, Boruto has weakened Naruto and Sasuke while strengthening the next generation’s heroes. Kaguya Otsutsuki’s only real competition is Boruto, who is nearly as powerful as Kaguya Otsutsuki, and Kawaki, who is almost as powerful as Kaguya Otsuts Daemon’s presentation of Himawari in chapter 77 of Boruto implies that even the youngest Uzumaki have a strong natural ability and may grow in importance over time.
Concluding Ideas
Once Naruto is no longer present, the younger characters may focus on becoming heroes in their own right. Taking the Seventh Hokage to another world is also a clever approach to appease the many elder Naruto fans who would be devastated if Kishimoto killed off their favourite character. With Naruto gone, fans may expect additional major characters to leave the show, including Sasuke and Shikamaru, who may have been murdered when Code and his army of “Claw grimes” attacked the Leaf Village.
