Expectations for Chapter 79
Finally, the action in Boruto: Naruto Future Generations is heating up. Fans may agree that the last chapter was one of the best they’ve read in a long time. In addition to setting up the struggle leading up to the time jump, it also provided some fantastic development for two characters who have received very little focus in the Boruto manga so far: Sarada Uchiha and Mitsuki. Moreover, Boruto Uzumaki lost an eye in the last chapter, and Kawaki finally left the community. Everything adds up to the tale finally getting to the moment that was teased in the manga’s prologue. Momoshiki has revealed that irreversible events have already taken place. For this reason, everyone is anticipating Boruto chapter 79.
Boruto Chapter 79: Konoha Starts Making Plans
Chapter 79 of Boruto will most likely centre on Konoha and its efforts to fortify the village in the wake of the recent disaster. The individual responsible for this tragedy has fled without a trace after his Hokage and his wife were kidnapped. Konoha has just lost a significant part of its might, making it an easy target. As a result, Konoha must strengthen its defences while also searching for Kawaki, the lone one capable of resolving the crisis. But, Kawaki is not going to be a pushover to track down. After all, Momoshiki’s generosity has presented him with a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and he intends to make the most of it.
Kawaki is likely to train hard to fortify his body so that he can come back with even more vengeance the next time he tries to achieve his goals. That’s probably where the show is heading next. Yet it’s possible that Boruto himself will confess in chapter 79 that it was Momoshiki who let him escape. Sasuke noticed something unusual about Momoshiki’s waking at this moment, and while it’s often believed that Momoshiki let Kawaki flee, the reversal might just as easily be true. Boruto has tremendous love for his brother, and when he saw that Kawaki was in imminent danger of dying, he didn’t think twice about doing everything it took to save his life.
Sasuke as Hokage in Boruto Chapter 79
No one is expected to come to Naruto Uzumaki’s aid anytime soon. We know this because Kawaki states as much in the series’ prologue. Fans also know that it takes years for Konoha to be completely devastated before Boruto and Kawaki finally engage in their showdown atop the Hokage Faces and the age of Shinobi is officially declared finished. Hence, Konoha cannot be without a Hokage for such a long period of time. Someone will need to assume responsibility for this now. For the fans, this was demonstrated not long after Pain’s invasion, when Tsunade went into a coma and Danzo was appointed Hokage, and again when Danzo passed away and Kakashi was appointed Hokage.
It follows that they will likely begin searching for a new interim Hokage in the near future. Fans know that Sarada would want to fill this role, but she is just too young and inexperienced to rise to such a high position in the organisation. Sasuke isn’t the only one who springs to mind; Shikamaru, Sakura, and the rest of the cast all come to mind. As Shikamaru makes for a superior adviser, it’s probable that either Sakura or Sasuke will be named Hokage, with the latter being the more likely choice.
Time Jump in Boruto Chapter 79
The recent events have ended, and now the tale may inch closer to its time jump. It’s been a long time coming, but in the very first chapter of Boruto, events that happened after the time jump was teased to the fans. Nonetheless, followers are getting really close to it presently. One of Boruto’s eyes is gone, and Kawaki has already scratched his headband. In addition to Kawaki, every member of Team 7 has a personal motivation to improve their physical fitness.
All the conditions for the time jump have been fulfilled, including the sealing away of Naruto Uzumaki and his wife. Considering this, it’s possible that Boruto chapter 79 will be setting up the time jump. Team 7 and Kawaki are about to go for an indefinite training session.
No one knows when the time jump will begin, but it won’t be long until Boruto leaves to train with a master like Sasuke and the rest of the team figures out how to keep up with him. Enjoyable as they usually are, timeslips have never been closer at this point.
Chapter 79 of Boruto, a monthly manga serialised in V-Jump, is scheduled for publication on March 19, 2023. The chapter is, as usual, available for free on the Shounen Jump and Manga Plus mobile applications.
