Decision

" Decision " ( 決意 , Ketsui ) is episode 217 of the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations anime.

## Synopsis [ ]

Both Sasuke and Isshiki are surprised by Naruto 's new power. Naruto hands over Boruto to Sasuke with one of his chakra tails. He fights Isshiki using very limited movements. Kurama explains how Baryon Mode consumes their chakra, and how to fight to make it last longer. Isshiki attempts to crush him with his cubes , but Naruto tosses them back at him and goes back to the offensive. Sasuke is impressed that Naruto is overpowering Isshiki. Isshiki sends his rods at him, but Naruto catches them, astonishing Sasuke, who can barely keep track of them with his Sharingan . Isshiki is incensed at how strong Naruto has become. Boruto and Sasuke watch from afar. Isshiki sends a barrage of rods at him, but Naruto dodges them, and uses one of them to deflect others. Naruto goes through a fire blast from Isshiki, landing a Rasengan . He begins to feel the toll of Baryon Mode. In Konoha , Amado asks about Kawaki 's prosthetic hand, and is surprised to learn it functions by Naruto sharing his chakra. Kawaki gets concerned feeling Naruto's chakra get weaker.

Isshiki realises Naruto's power has life-shortening effects, and thinks Naruto has lost his bet, but begins to cough up blood, confused. Kurama explains to Naruto that while Baryon Mode expends their life force, because all chakra is connected, coming in contact with Isshiki during the fight also drains his, cutting his remaining lifespan down to minutes. While touching Naruto, Isshiki detects the chakra he's sharing with Kawaki, and uses it as an intermediary to pull Kawaki to where they are with a rift . Amado thinks they're done if Isshiki gets his hands on Kawaki. Boruto passes out. Kawaki goads Isshiki, saying he's happy he gets to see him die. Isshiki dismisses it as a long nap. Naruto tells Kawaki to run, and Isshiki stomps him hard enough to get him out of Baryon Mode. He manages to grab Kawaki by the throat, but Sasuke exchanges places with him. Sasuke uses a special smoke bomb , made with a mineral that can occlude abilities such as the Byakugan , preventing Isshiki from finding Kawaki. Isshiki launches a widespread barrage of chakra rods, trying to find Kawaki. Isshiki flies down to Naruto, yelling to Kawaki that if he doesn't give himself up, he'll kill Naruto. Kawaki thinks back to many times he hid and tried to flee from Jigen , and also to his time with Naruto. He shows himself to Isshiki.
