The Clash Between Naruto and Isshiki: A Pivotal Moment in the Boruto Anime and Manga
The battle between Naruto and Isshiki stands out as one of the most significant moments in the Boruto series. It not only showcases Naruto’s unprecedented power through the Baryon Mode but also delivers one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the storyline. To regain substantial power and defeat the formidable Isshiki, Kurama, Naruto’s partner, sacrificed himself, ensuring the safety of Naruto and the Hidden Leaf Village.
Kurama had warned Naruto that using Baryon Mode would lead to his demise, yet the reality of this sacrifice became evident when Kurama made the ultimate choice. Despite the grave consequences, Kurama chose to sacrifice himself to protect Naruto and the village.
However, the expected outcome did not occur, at least not in the majority of timelines. In Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 13, Kashin Koji revealed his unique ability to see potential futures. Since time is not strictly linear, Kashin Koji can glimpse multiple possible futures.
In the narrative of Boruto, Kashin Koji disclosed that after his near-death experience in the battle against Jigen (and Isshiki), he gained new abilities and could foresee many potential futures. In several scenarios that unfolded, Naruto perished due to his use of Baryon Mode during the fight with Isshiki.
Fortunately, the anticipated fate did not come to pass. Kurama sacrificed himself, and after that, he was born again within Himawari. A part of the credit for this outcome goes to Kawaki, who managed to distract Isshiki and buy Kurama time to protect Naruto.
Kashin Koji’s Revelation: A Serious Reminder of Potential Outcomes for Naruto
Although Naruto is no longer the main character of the story, he remains the most iconic figure of the series. His death is something that no one wishes to witness.
Alongside the darker aspects of Naruto in various timelines, Kashin Koji also highlighted the critical events that could unfold involving Boruto. The young boy has been closely linked to Kawaki, especially in most timelines, after which Kawaki faces a grim fate that leads to the end of the world.
However, like his father, Boruto has managed to survive. The boy’s journey reflects the complexities of the world he inhabits but does not involve the violent confrontation with Kawaki. With the foreboding determination of the young protagonist, Kashin Koji seems to hint that Boruto will face new challenges, learning from the unique powers he has inherited, which could lead to a significant boost in strength for the main character.
