Ch. 21Boruto's Summoning

Summary: “Boruto’s Summons”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • One year into the story, thirteen-year-old Boruto is living in Konoha after Kawaki’s escape from Kara.
  • Isshiki, using Jigen’s body and having advanced his Karma to its second stage, attacks Konoha to reclaim Kawaki. Naruto and Sasuke—referred to as Second Pillar—refuse to surrender him.
  • Naruto and Sasuke fight Isshiki in another dimension. Although Isshiki initially overwhelms them, Naruto’s mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and Sasuke’s ability to use Rinnegan powers without the physical eye allow them to survive until Jigen’s body begins to break down.
  • Isshiki retreats to Kara’s dimension to heal, but Amado and Kashin Koji’s betrayal disrupts his resurrection plans. Isshiki retaliates by crushing Koji with Daikokuten, though Koji escapes using Reverse Summoning.
  • Naruto and Sasuke realize that Isshiki’s full reincarnation makes him far stronger than before. Sasuke reveals a possible countermeasure: using Boruto’s multiple Karmas to summon Otsutsuki Tatsuten, the Ancestor of Sage Arts.
  • The summoning is extremely dangerous because it crosses space and time and would consume so much chakra that Boruto would need months to recover. Naruto initially objects to involving Boruto, but ultimately agrees because they have few other options.
  • Isshiki again demands Kawaki from Konoha. Naruto refuses and engages him in Kurama Sage Mode, but Isshiki quickly dominates him.
  • Naruto uses the Flying Thunder God Technique to evade Isshiki’s summoned black cubes. Sasuke and Boruto then arrive, and Boruto uses Karma-based space-time ninjutsu to transport Isshiki, Naruto, and Sasuke to another dimension.
  • In the alternate dimension, Naruto activates Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Mode and Sasuke manifests his Complete Body Susanoo. Sasuke instructs Boruto to use a jutsu he previously taught him.
  • Isshiki immediately disrupts their teamwork by dropping enormous black cubes through Daikokuten, damaging their formations and knocking Sasuke into the rocks.

Character Developments

  • Naruto demonstrates major growth through his mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and his ability to combine Kurama and Sage Modes. Despite being badly outmatched, he remains determined to protect Kawaki and the wider ninja world.

  • Boruto is revealed to possess far greater potential than his current combat ability suggests. His Karma is connected not only to Momoshiki but also to three powerful ancestral figures, making him essential to Sasuke’s plan. He is eager to fight beside Naruto and Sasuke, though he is aware of the difficulty of the jutsu he must perform.
  • Isshiki remains overwhelmingly powerful, effortlessly suppressing Naruto and Sasuke in direct combat. His confidence and contempt for human strength are reinforced, although he recognizes Naruto’s abilities.
  • Kashin Koji continues opposing Isshiki but is forced to retreat after being instantly defeated.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice and responsibility: Boruto may need to endure months of recovery to give the others a chance against Isshiki.
  • The burden of inherited power: Boruto’s multiple Karmas connect him to ancient Otsutsuki figures and make him central to the conflict.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Isshiki uses Sukunahikona to shrink Naruto’s Big Ball Rasengan and launches a devastating kick. Naruto narrowly escapes with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

  • Isshiki destroys Second Pillar’s Rinnegan with a Black Receiver. Second Pillar retaliates by using Amaterasu, but Isshiki absorbs the flames.
  • Isshiki summons enormous black cubes through Daikokuten, forcing Naruto and Second Pillar to evade them. With his Rinnegan gone, Second Pillar’s combat ability declines, and Naruto is increasingly overwhelmed.
  • Just as Isshiki prepares to kill Naruto, Naruto and Second Pillar switch positions. Second Pillar impales Isshiki with his sword, revealing that he can still use the Rinnegan’s space-time techniques despite losing the eye.
  • Isshiki counters by impaling Second Pillar with multiple Black Receivers and begins moving to finish him. However, Naruto and the Nine-Tails activate their final life-consuming trump card: Baryon Mode.
  • Naruto transforms into a powerful fusion of Nine-Tails and Sage Mode. He effortlessly blocks Isshiki’s cubes and Black Receivers, then overwhelms Isshiki in close combat, sending him crashing repeatedly into the ground.

Character Developments

  • Naruto demonstrates advanced mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and relies on it to survive Isshiki’s overwhelming speed. His desperation eventually leads him to sacrifice his life force by activating Baryon Mode.
  • Second Pillar loses his Rinnegan but reveals that he had already mastered its space-time abilities, allowing him to continue teleporting and coordinating attacks. Despite suffering multiple serious wounds, he remains determined to assist Naruto.
  • Isshiki initially dominates the battle with calm confidence, using Sukunahikona, Daikokuten, and Black Receivers. Naruto’s Baryon Mode is the first development to genuinely shock and challenge him.
  • The Nine-Tails acts as Naruto’s partner in the final transformation, accepting the immense cost of Baryon Mode to give Naruto a chance to defeat Isshiki.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice and desperation: Naruto and the Nine-Tails knowingly use a technique that consumes their life force because ordinary tactics cannot defeat Isshiki.
  • Adaptability and preparation: Second Pillar’s prior mastery of the Rinnegan’s techniques allows him to remain useful even after losing the eye.
  • Teamwork under impossible odds: Naruto and Second Pillar combine teleportation, surprise attacks, and tactical position-switching to survive against a vastly stronger opponent.

Ch. 23Summoning Technique: Summoning Otsutsuki Yuhao

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Isshiki battles Naruto, who is using Baryon Mode. Naruto initially overwhelms him, rendering Isshiki’s ocular techniques—including Daikokuten and Sukunahikona—ineffective. However, Baryon Mode rapidly drains Naruto’s life force.
  • Boruto successfully performs a dangerous cross-dimensional Super Summoning Jutsu to summon Otsutsuki Yuhao, but the enormous chakra cost causes him to collapse.
  • Yuhao arrives too late to witness most of Naruto and Isshiki’s initial clash, but immediately takes control of the situation.
  • Before joining the main battle, Yuhao restores Sasuke’s damaged eye using Yin-Yang Release. He cannot recreate Sasuke’s Rinnegan, but gives him a new three-tomoe Sharingan, restoring his basic vision.
  • Naruto exits Baryon Mode and begins losing ground to Isshiki. Yuhao intervenes by kicking Isshiki in the face and healing Naruto’s injuries.
  • Yuhao reveals that Naruto and Sasuke are his descendants and that Isshiki is an enemy of his mother. He intends to kill Isshiki completely, leaving behind not even a single cell.
  • Yuhao activates King Realm Fist and attacks Isshiki with overwhelming force. Isshiki responds with Daikokuten, summoning enormous black cubes, but Yuhao uses Flying Thunder God to teleport behind him and continue the assault.

Character Developments

  • Naruto: Baryon Mode allows him to dominate Isshiki temporarily, but its life-draining cost leaves him vulnerable once the transformation ends. Yuhao saves him, though Kurama explains that Naruto will need at least three years to recover fully.
  • Isshiki: Initially pressured by Naruto, Isshiki becomes increasingly weakened and enraged. Yuhao’s revelation that Naruto and Sasuke are his descendants shocks him, while Yuhao’s attacks further reduce Isshiki’s chances of survival.
  • Boruto: Demonstrates immense determination and growth by completing the difficult cross-dimensional summoning technique. The effort exhausts him and leaves him unconscious.

  • Second Pillar and Tatsuten: Observe and support the summoning effort. Second Pillar recognizes the immense danger of Naruto’s Baryon Mode and Yuhao’s extraordinary power.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice and survival: Naruto’s Baryon Mode demonstrates the immense cost of gaining overwhelming power, while Boruto also sacrifices his strength to summon Yuhao.
  • Family and lineage: Yuhao’s intervention is motivated by his connection to Naruto and Sasuke as descendants, contrasting with Isshiki’s belief in Otsutsuki superiority.
  • Power and responsibility: The chapter contrasts characters who use power to dominate with Yuhao, who uses his abilities to protect family and oppose Isshiki.
  • Revenge and unfinished conflict: Yuhao’s hatred of Isshiki comes from Isshiki’s past conflict with his mother, turning the present battle into the continuation of an older feud.
  • Hope through restoration: Sasuke’s reconstructed eye and Naruto’s healing show that even devastating losses may be reversed through exceptional power.

Ch. 24Boruto, the Three-Karma Jinchuriki

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Otsutsuki Yuhao and Isshiki engage in a fierce aerial taijutsu battle. Isshiki’s ocular techniques are ineffective against Yuhao, and his strength has already been reduced because the Hokage absorbed much of his power.
  • Yuhao activates a powerful hybrid form: Tenseigan Chakra Mode with the Rinne Sharingan in his other eye, the King Realm Fist’s red flames, and six Truth-Seeking Orbs.
  • Yuhao combines Kinrin Tensei Baku with Bansho Ten’in, using gravity to pull Isshiki into the massive golden blade. Isshiki cannot shrink the attack because he lacks sufficient chakra.
  • The resulting explosion destroys much of Isshiki’s body. He curses his weakened state before petrifying and crumbling into ash.
  • After Isshiki’s defeat, Yuhao discovers that Boruto has lost control. Boruto enters a terrifying Three-Karma state, manifesting horns, the Jougan, the six-tomoe Rinne Sharingan, multiple markings, and blue, white, and gold chakra.
  • Boruto’s consciousness becomes confused with the powers and identities of Yao Style, Hagoromo, and Yuhao, causing him to attack Naruto and Sasuke.

  • Yuhao intervenes and knocks Boruto unconscious.
  • Yuhao explains that the remnants of Yao Style’s consciousness, combined with the incomplete Karmas of himself and Hagoromo, are resonating inside Boruto and overwhelming his mind.
  • Boruto must gradually practice and use his Karma powers to adapt to them. Yuhao describes him as a “Three-Karma Jinchuriki” or “Otsutsuki Jinchuriki.”

Character Developments

  • Yuhao demonstrates overwhelming combat ability, defeating a weakened Isshiki with a highly strategic combination of ocular powers and chakra techniques. His calm reaction to Isshiki’s death emphasizes his emotional control.
  • Isshiki is established as still extremely dangerous but decisively weakened. His defeat leaves him resentful and convinced that he would have won at full strength.
  • Boruto becomes the vessel for three interacting Karma powers. Although Yao Style’s soul has disappeared, its remaining consciousness still affects him, making Boruto extraordinarily powerful but mentally unstable.
  • Naruto and Sasuke are shown to be outmatched because of their depleted chakra reserves, highlighting the scale of Boruto’s new power.
  • Kawaki feels useless and resentful after contributing little to the battle. He also worries about whether he can safely access Isshiki’s Karma.
  • Yuhao privately realizes that Boruto’s future body-swapping fate with Kawaki may still occur despite the altered circumstances.

Significant Themes

  • Power versus control: Boruto’s immense power becomes dangerous because he cannot yet control the forces inside him.
  • Identity and possession: Boruto’s mind is disrupted by multiple consciousnesses and Karma sources, raising questions about whether he remains himself.
  • Adaptation through discipline: Yuhao argues that repeated use of Karma and taijutsu training will help Boruto master his abilities.
  • The consequences of weakness: Isshiki’s defeat demonstrates how even a powerful warrior can lose when diminished, while Naruto and Sasuke’s exhaustion leaves them unable to protect Boruto.
  • Fate and altered destiny: Despite the changes to Boruto’s powers and circumstances, Yuhao suspects the destined exchange between Boruto and Kawaki will still happen.

  • Sasuke fights alongside Naruto and is the only one able to offer meaningful resistance.
  • Kawaki watches helplessly and later expresses anger at having to be protected rather than contributing.
  • Second Pillar compares Boruto’s loss of control to Naruto’s childhood struggles with the Nine-Tails and questions Yuhao about the cause.
  • Yuhao explains Boruto’s condition to Second Pillar, Naruto, and Kawaki, framing Boruto’s transformation as a unique form of multi-Karma possession.
