In episode 217 of Boruto, Naruto’s gift of chakra to Kawaki turns out to be Isshiki’s greatest asset during the brutal war outside Konoha.
In the Boruto anime, fans finally get to see Naruto confront Isshiki Ōtsutsuki when the aliens try to claim Kawaki as his vessel. It’s been a long time, Sasuke and Boruto are also trying to help the Hokage. Luckily, they hid Kawaki in Konoha, undetectable along with Shikamaru, Amado, and the rest, but while Naruto’s Baryon mode gave him the upper hand, it also became Isshiki’s greatest asset.
This mode gave Naruto full access to Kurama’s Nine-Tails Demox Fox chakra, turning him into a true god. At this point, he surpassed even the Sage of the Six Paths, even Sasuke was shocked at this strength.
Baryon Mode allows Naruto to move and fly at the speed of light, knocking out Isshiki with ease. The difficulty, however, is that once this chakra starts to deplete, both Naruto and Kurama can die, which starts to happen when he attacks Isshiki. Each hit damages Isshiki’s body, meaning that once he’s drained first, he’ll die and Kawaki can’t be found. But when Naruto tried too hard, coughing up blood, Isshiki had the upper hand in the race to see whose speed came first.
This disability causes Isshiki to deliver his own malicious attacks, causing the Hokage to suffocate as well. Sadly, when he gripped Naruto, his amplified chakra locked him into Kawaki. With Kawaki rocking a prosthetic hand that has been imbued with Naruto’s chakra, it acts like a beacon when Isshiki touches and feels the energy connection. It’s tough for the villain at first but Baryon mode allows access to the signal like never before, with Isshiki then opening a portal and teleporting the child inside.
That’s what Isshiki was trying to do with the host that would be his host for a while in Boruto, and sadly, the Baryon mode inadvertently forged a bond when Kawaki’s arm stopped working due to the self. Naruto’s vitality is waning. Naruto, however, motioned the child to run as Isshiki attempted to trade with the leader’s body. Kawaki flees but Isshiki hurls his alien spears over this hidden dimension landscape that Sasuke has brought them to, making it clear that if Kawaki doesn’t eventually surrender, he will kill Naruto.
Isshiki cornered Kawaki but when he choked, Sasuke used an alternate technique to swap positions. This is not good because Isshiki beats Sasuke, like he did to Boruto. A thunderous smack to Naruto’s chest also left the Hokage brutally beaten and shattered, and as Isshiki flew through the sky and yelled for Kawaki to appear, the poor boy realized he had no choice. other.
Naruto’s gift of chakra helped Kawaki assimilate into Konoha and feel completely normal again, but now it’s all annihilated. It’s ironic that with Naruto also losing his hand, and with no one to turn to for advice and help against the aliens, it looks like Isshiki will achieve his goal in the end as Boruto moves on.
