Boruto’s vision in chapter 75 and Momoshiki’s confirmation established that a major problem, possibly concerning Kawaki, would cause chaos in the village and turn the other shinobi against Kawaki.

But fans did not expect the extreme decision that Kawaki made in an attempt to protect Naruto, and the chapter might be the beginning of the karma-user’s rise as an antagonist in the series. Kawaki’s determination to discover the truth and protect Naruto showed his immense loyalty.

4. Chapter 77 Recap

Chapter 77 of Boruto opens with Kawaki seizing Boruto and demanding that Momoshiki Otsutsuki reveal himself so that the older karma user might finally vanquish him. Shikamaru attempted to calm Kawaki down by recalling Naruto’s anguish at witnessing his son’s death before his eyes.

Unfortunately, this just convinced Kawaki that because the Hokage would not stand by and watch his son die, he had no choice but to ensure that Naruto could not intervene in any way. He then left home, ensuring that the Sensory Unit could not trace him by concealing his chakra.

Boruto chapter 77 then moved on to the Uzumaki home, where Naruto and Hinata were preparing dinner. Kawaki came just as they were saying how lovely it would be if Boruto and Kawaki could join them.

Naruto joked that both guys were stubborn, and Kawaki apologized for being a pain. The elder karma user said that the Sensory Unit missed him since it was solely based on chakra signatures. He then said he needed to speak with Naruto.

Kawaki began by expressing his gratitude to Naruto and his faith that the Seventh Hokage had given him a purpose to live. Naruto wanted to emphasize that Kawaki was always a kind guy at heart. Still, Kawaki intervened and made it absolutely clear that he would do everything to defend the Hokage, including dying without hesitation.

Kawaki pays a visit to the Uzumakis, declaring his intention to kill every living Otsutsuki clan member, including Boruto. Even when Hinata slapped him and called him insane, he refused to alter his stance, explaining that he didn’t expect them to realize his intense need to protect Naruto.

When the Seventh Hokage challenged the karma-bearer, stating that Kawaki would have to go through him in order to reach his son, Kawaki made his move. He used his karma to open a portal and send Naruto and Hinata to a different dimension.

Kawaki’s actions essentially sealed Naruto in another dimension, keeping him from interfering with Kawaki’s pursuit for the Otsutsuki.
