Foreshadowing of Boruto Episode 290
In the prior episode, we saw that Kawaki was having trouble integrating into the Konoha community and we were introduced to the powerful figure Daemon. Boruto Episode 290 will pick off where we left off. Boruto laments that the sensory Shinobi is always watching him in the sneak peek for Episode 290. It’s for the safety of the village, Inojin attempts to reassure him. However, he adds that Shinobi who have mastered the art of chakra eradication are invisible to the sensor.
Kawaki eventually finds out how to delete chakra and attempts to hide from the watchman. As the security guard informs Naruto of something, he starts to worry. It’s possible that Eida noticed and told Code about it, giving Code an opening to launch an attack on Kawaki. They discuss Code’s potential strength and its implications for Konoha, while Shikamaru and Amado conduct a similar discussion.
Quick Recap of Boruto: Naruto Future Generations Episode 289
Kawaki keeps having nightmares about Code trying to kill him. Sumire and Amado go to check on Kawaki, but Amado disturbs Kawaki by telling him he needs to get tougher to defend Naruto. Kawaki, according to Amado, has to equip himself with Karma once more. With her enhanced vision, Eida notices this and orders Code to take Kawaki off the hit list. Eida presents Eida’s brother Daemon to Code, the other knight in his service. Daemons can withstand strikes from Eida and even redirect them back to their source. Kawaki loses his cool in front of everyone and lashes out at Team Shikadai, but they eventually talk him down and convince him to return to the Hidden Leaf hamlet. Himawari is interested in a sparring match with Boruto, but he is reluctant due to his fear of Boruto’s Karma.
In response to Sumire’s suspicions, Amado reveals that Kawaki possesses Isshiki’s abilities and that they may access them through Karma. While Naruto rushes to get Kawaki, Daemon disposes of the guards that attacked him. While Kawaki isn’t sure he fits in with the rest of the Hidden Leaf community, Naruto eventually convinces him otherwise and brings him home. Boruto apologises to Kawaki over dinner and presents him with his headband as a token of his remorse. Kawaki is asked by Himawari to watch over Boruto. After Kawaki talks to Naruto, he understands what he must do to safeguard Naruto and the Hidden Leaf community.
