Chapter 78 of Boruto, titled “Super Stupid,” brings the tale closer to the timeskip by showing readers that Bourto now has the scar on his right eye that was first shown at the beginning of the book. In this chapter, we’ll go over all the important details that will make the prior chapter much easier to understand. Chapter 77 of the manga details Kawaki’s choice to end Boruto’s life. So that he could carry out his plan without interruption, he sent Naruto and Hinata away.
Sarada finds out that Kawaki killed Boruto in Chapter 78 of Boruto, and Momoshiki reminds Boruto of his fate. Chapter 78 of Boruto picked up just where chapter 77 left off. The Chakra of Naruto and Hinata mysteriously disappeared from the Uzumaki Household, and Shikamaru was told of this. A minute ago, they discovered that Kawaki’s chakra had registered at that spot. After returning home, Himawari discovered that Naruto and Hinata were no longer there. As Eida confirmed Kawaki’s action, the entire group became extremely alarmed. Boruto, upon hearing the news, bolted from the room in search of Kawaki. Because Eida had overheard Naruto and Kawaki’s talk via her Senrigan in chapter 78 of Boruto, she was confident that Kawaki was plotting to murder Boruto once again. To Sarada, this was the first time she had heard that Kawaki was responsible for Boruto’s death.
The motivation for Kawaki’s behaviour was then explained by Shikamaru. Sarada hurried towards Boruto so that she wouldn’t have to abandon him again. Next, in chapter 78, Boruto and Kawaki ran into each other. With the Shinjutsu Dai-Kokuten, he explained to Boruto, he had sent Naruto and Hinata to a location where time stood still so they wouldn’t age and starve to death.
Brood versus brood
The conflict between the two sets of brothers first appeared in Boruto Chapter 78. After observing the conflict for some time, Sarada decided to intervene. But Kawaki had pleaded for her to stay out of it. Even Boruto had attempted to keep her away, but Sarada was having none of it. Chapter 78 of Boruto further demonstrated that Kawaki continued with his plan to eliminate Sarada. In his haste to save her, Boruto ended up with the scar that many of his followers had been hoping for. The scar looked like the one revealed at the beginning of the series after the time jump.
Sasuke, along with Konohamaru, Shikamaru, Mitsuki, and Sasuke, is shown arriving at Konoha in Boruto Chapter 78. Mitsuki used his arm to strangle Kawaki, preventing him from using Sukuna-Hikona, while Shikamaru used his shadow paralysis jutsu to halt Kawaki’s attempt to use it. Sasuke urged Kawaki not to fight by bringing his sword near to him. Sasuke has been missing for what seems like a very long time. After the fight with Isshiki Momoshiki, he had previously lost his Rinnegan. Eventually, he ventured into the forest in search of Code’s cryptic hint.
According to form, Momoshiki’s prediction comes true
While Boruto chapter 78’s narrative progressed, it appeared that Kawaki’s time had come and gone. Momoshiki suddenly gained over of Boruto, absorbed the Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, and commanded Kawaki to go. Kawaki, like the rest of us, was completely taken aback by what happened. The loss of one of his blue eyes was simply the beginning of the end for Momoshiki, as he told Boruto in Chapter 78. There is further evidence that the Momoshiki prophesy is coming true and that the time jump is imminent. This is because Boruto looks to have lost everything at the start of the series with the time jump, yet he still considers himself a Shinobi.
Conclusions for Chapter 78
The events in chapter 78 stunned readers. Kawaki’s decision to scar Boruto was a huge signal that a time jump was imminent. After reading the chapter’s conclusion, you probably have a lot of questions. It’s unclear why, for instance, Momoshiki decided to save Kawaki. There will be no relief for readers till chapter 79 is out.

The Twitter account Abdul Zol2 has posted chapter 78 spoilers for Boruto: Naruto Future Generations ahead of its scheduled release.
As shown in Chapter 78 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, “A Huge Fool” is the chapter’s title.
The chapter opens with fright when Naruto and Hinata’s chakra are suddenly undetectable. When Shikamaru inquired as to whether or not this was Kawaki’s doing, Eida confirmed that it was. Unconvinced, Boruto and Sarada head to the site. Kawaki assaults Boruto, revealing that he was responsible for the previous chapter’s vanishing act involving Naruto and Hinata. Kawaki explains that Naruto and Hinata are trapped in another universe from which they would never be able to return. Boruto attempts to talk sense into Kawaki, but Kawaki continues attacking. Despite Sarada’s attempts at communication, Kawaki continues to threaten her life.
Kawaki plans a devastating attack on Sarada, but Boruto is able to save her with the help of his newfound ninja skills—at the cost of his right eye. Upon their arrival, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, and Mitsuki employ Shikamaru’s shadow paralysis technique to keep Kawaki immobile. Sasuke steps into the battlefield and informs Kawaki that the war is done and that he must kill him if he continues to resist.
Kawaki’s confusion is compounded when Momoshiki orders her to flee the group. To wrap off this chapter, Momoshiki tells Boruto that he will soon be destitute. As the final lines of the text state, “This time, there’s no going back. You will eventually lose everything, as Momo has warned you.”
