Unlocking the Secrets: Naruto's Unsealing in Boruto Revealed!

Highlights

Naruto Uzumaki was sealed away by his foster son Kawaki to protect him from the threat of Momoshiki. Fans are eagerly waiting for his return.

Sasuke and the Konoha Shinobi successfully foiled Kawaki's plot to eliminate Boruto, resulting in a reversal of destinies for the two.

Naruto's prowess in Boruto has displayed some irregularities, yet there is anticipation for him to recover his formidable abilities and emerge as a formidable combatant once he is released from confinement.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Part 2 of Boruto, excited to see what the story holds for their beloved characters who have returned stronger than ever before. While many characters have bright futures ahead, there are some fan favorites, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, who face challenging circumstances. Among them, Naruto's fate seems the most challenging, as he was sealed away towards the end of Boruto Part 1, leaving fans shocked. However, relief washed over those fans who believed Naruto would meet his demise, knowing that he was not in fact dead. Instead, he was sealed away, and even after three years have passed in the Naruto world, his return remains uncertain. The unsealing of Naruto will undoubtedly happen at some point, but fans will have to wait to see how it unfolds.

How Naruto Was Sealed

Naruto Uzumaki's foster son, Kawaki, was responsible for sealing him, a fact known by fans who are familiar with Kawaki's conflicted nature. Though not inherently evil, his actions give that impression. Naruto took Kawaki in when he had nobody else to turn to, effectively giving him a fresh start in life.

While Jigen subjected Kawaki to daily torture and abuse, Naruto provided him with the love and support that any parent would give their child. Naturally, this created a deep attachment within Kawaki, leading him to eliminate anyone who posed a threat to Naruto. This bond grew even stronger when Naruto sacrificed a significant portion of his own power to save Kawaki, a sacrifice that greatly impacted the young boy. Witnessing Naruto's vulnerability, Kawaki assumed the responsibility of protecting him. This duty included eliminating all members of the Otsutsuki Clan.

This was not an easy undertaking, considering the immense power possessed by all the others, most of whom have not even made an appearance in the series yet. However, there was one person among them that he knew was present - Boruto Uzumaki. Despite his affection for Boruto, Kawaki was willing to sacrifice him to protect Naruto. That's why he took the drastic step of sealing away Naruto and his wife, Hinata. In Kawaki's mind, this was necessary to safeguard Naruto from the potential threat of being taken over and killed by Momoshiki. At the conclusion of Boruto Part 1, Kawaki made the brave choice of disclosing his plan to Naruto and subsequently sealing him.

Naruto Uzumaki During The Boruto Timeskip

Right after sealing Naruto Uzumaki, Kawaki wasted no time in executing his plan and making an attempt to eliminate Boruto. Their confrontation over the Hokage masks was fierce and intense. When Sarada intervened, Kawaki showed no hesitation in trying to harm her as well, resulting in Boruto losing his eye while trying to protect her. Kawaki's determination to kill Boruto would have persisted if it wasn't for the timely arrival of Sasuke and the Konoha Shinobi. Although this ensured Boruto's safety, he now had to make a choice between escape or facing punishment for not only sealing Naruto but also attacking Boruto.

When Will Naruto Be Unsealed?

: The entire situation changed for Kawaki when Momoshiki unexpectedly presented him with an opportunity to escape. Seizing it eagerly, he soon came to realize that fleeing had become an almost insurmountable challenge. It was at this crucial juncture that Ada appeared, offering her assistance to Kawaki in a unique way - by manifesting his deepest desires. This pivotal moment marked the dramatic switch between the lives of Boruto and Kawaki, with Boruto now falsely branded as the perpetrator responsible for the Seventh Hokage's demise. Three years have transpired since then, with Naruto remaining trapped in the realm of Daikokuten. Within this dimension, time stands still, leaving Naruto unaffected by the passage of days. Devoid of the need for sustenance or slumber within this realm, Kawaki inadvertently serves as the guardian of Naruto Uzumaki.

The unsealing of Naruto Uzumaki is highly anticipated in Boruto Part 2. This event is likely to occur after the intense clash between Boruto and Kawaki. Currently, Konoha is under attack by Code, demanding the immediate attention of all Konoha Shinobi. Boruto Uzumaki seems to be leading the charge against this threat, and once it is dealt with, a confrontation between Boruto and Kawaki may ensue. However, this particular battle may not be the one depicted in the series' prologue. It is probable that Boruto Uzumaki will continue his journey, while a face-off with Kawaki will take place much later in the storyline. During this clash, Kawaki discloses his intention to send Boruto to the same place where he exiled the Seventh Hokage. As a result, Naruto Uzumaki will remain sealed until that point in the story, indicating a significant time gap.

It also implies that for Naruto to be released, Kawaki must be subdued. This, however, does not necessitate Kawaki's demise; rather, Boruto must guide his brother back to rationality. Thus, these two individuals will engage in a battle reminiscent of Naruto and Sasuke's final confrontation. Once their clash concludes and Kawaki regains control of his senses, it becomes highly probable that Naruto Uzumaki will be liberated from the realm of Daikokuten and successfully rescued.

How Strong Is Naruto In Boruto?

Naruto's strength in Boruto has been inconsistent. Initially, he possessed immense power and could defeat formidable foes like Momoshiki and Isshiki. However, attaining the Baryon Mode came at a high cost - his connection with Kurama was severed, greatly reducing his power. As a result, Naruto became significantly weaker compared to other formidable characters in the story. Even when eventually unsealed, Naruto's strength would still pale in comparison to the others.

However, this does not imply that his current state will remain fixed. As the Child of Prophecy, Naruto understands the importance of strength. He has the potential to train in various other disciplines and make up for the power he has lost. Moreover, by reaching out to other Tailed Beasts, Naruto can acquire their powers. Most importantly, if a technique like Omnipotence is introduced, Naruto could even have his former power restored. Fans can be reassured that regardless of the circumstances, Naruto Uzumaki will make a comeback as a formidable fighter and will continue to protect his village to the best of his abilities.

Boruto can be read through authorized channels such as Viz Media. Fans have the opportunity to access the series for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The anticipated release date for the upcoming chapter of Boruto, specifically Boruto Part 2 Chapter 3, is scheduled for October 20, 2023.
