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.

Incredulous, Boruto sprinted to the scene of the crime. Eida warned Boruto as he was leaving that Kawaki could be planning to kill Boruto again based on the way he was talking to Naruto. Sarada was taken aback by this news since she had been blissfully unaware of Kawaki’s prior attempt on Boruto’s life. As she could not leave her alone, she set out to find Boruto.
Boruto arrived at Kawaki’s place and pondered the fate of his parents. Kawaki said that he had sent them to a parallel universe where time stands still, ensuring that they would not age to the point of starvation. Boruto, though, would never again see any of them.
As the struggle between the brothers began, Kawaki attacked Boruto in an attempt to murder him. There was more fighting until Sarada finally arrived. She attempted to intervene in Kawaki’s actions. In any case, he wasn’t ready to converse as he warned Sarada that he may wind up killing her in his attempt to assassinate Boruto.

As he realised Boruto was no longer in charge, he freed Kawaki and urged him to go. Momoshiki spoke to Boruto in his head as Boruto informed him how he had lost everything, just as he had predicted.

Kawaki was the one who gave Boruto his scar, as seen in chapter 78 of Boruto. As all was going on, Naruto and Hinata were transported to a place where time stood still. As a result, it appears like things are starting to move forward in the time period depicted in the first chapter, the time when Boruto and Kawaki fought.

Summary of Boruto Chapter 77
As the title of Chapter 77 suggests, “Time Drawing Near” is on the horizon. Boruto is being yelled at by Kawaki, who holds him by the collar. Sarada steps in and explains that they should put their differences aside because they are in the midst of a crucial task. Kawaki warns Sarada to keep her distance since the Otsusuki doesn’t mind getting in the way. Just then, Shikamaru stepped in, telling Kawaki to take a seat and urging him to keep Naruto in mind if he ever learned that his son had been killed. After hearing this, Kawaki exits the room even though he is not supposed to. He has successfully removed his chakra, rendering him undetectable. Shikamaru sends Naruto after Kawaki and instructs him to keep a watch on Eida while he tracks down Kawaki.
Code, meantime, is gathering the Claw Grimes in preparation for an assault on Konoha. But he can’t because he lacks the element of surprise now that Eida is in Konoha. Eida is filling in Shikamaru and the rest of the crew on his intentions for Code. Boruto and Daemon are making Eida uncomfortable in the shopping centre. Hinata, back in the house, is preparing a meal and reflecting on how nice it was that she and Naruto could eat together. Kawaki visits them in an attempt to consult with Naruto.
He said that he would do anything to safeguard Naruto and that the boy meant everything to him. Since he was convinced that no one else could eliminate the Otsusuki, he made the decision to do so himself. This suggests he intended to eliminate Boruto, an Otsusuki. In response, Naruto said, “I have to kill him first.” Kawaki engulfs Naruto and Hinata in a vortex, causing them to vanish before informing them that he didn’t expect them to comprehend and that they were free to kill him whenever they want.
