The extreme measure Kawaki takes to defend Naruto in Chapter 78 of “Boruto” may lead to his promotion to the role of series villain. He is so dedicated to Momoshiki that he is eager to learn the truth about his concerns that Boruto is still under Momoshiki’s control and that the shinobi are being kept safe. Kawaki suggested that he and Boruto would soon go to each other’s throats by saying that he intended to fight Boruto to establish his accusations. However, in Chapter 78 of “Boruto,” Kawaki will become the villain when he causes widespread disorder and incites his fellow shinobis to turn on him.
Having learned of Naruto and Hinata’s disappearances, the next chapter will be fraught with uncertainty. The sensing unit will be the first to detect this development, which will foil Shikamaru’s plans and open the door for Code to infiltrate the facility. On the other hand, Kawaki’s strength is known in Konoha, yet Boruto’s sense of intuition may lead them to him near his house, establishing that he is responsible. In the future, a fight will break out, and Mitsuki will enter Sage Mode. The focus of Boruto Chapter 78 may be on Kawaki. Now that he has shut Naruto and Uzumaki away, he may proceed unimpeded.
He has already picked out one member of the Otsutsuki family to murder. However, if he is discovered alone at his home without the Hokage and his wife, he may become a target as well. Kawaki and Boruto or the Konoha Elders might get into a dispute over this, and it could escalate into a battle. This might cause panic in Konoha. Kawaki may have noble intentions, but as long as Boruto is a resident of Konoha, the residents of that city will want to shield Boruto from harm and view Kawaki with suspicion. Whether or whether their battle actually takes place in Chapter 78 of “Boruto” remains to be seen.
If not, the confrontation between them is inevitable and the timing couldn’t be worse. Keep in mind that Eida and Daemon are still in Konoha. Kawaki knows that Eida is captivated by him, thus she may choose to side with him in this conflict, making life more difficult for Konoha. Since Daemon blindly follows his sister’s orders, too, Kawaki may have the upper hand in this fight.
On February 20th, we’ll see the release of “Boruto” Chapter 78.
