## Synopsis [ ]

Code evades Momoshiki 's attack, and is amazed by his strength as an Ōtsutsuki , understanding how Boro lost to him. Momoshiki states Code is next, and resumes attacking, pressuring him. Ada contacts Code, warning him Momoshiki is too strong. Code immobilises Kawaki , using him as shield against Momoshiki, who needs an Ōtsutsuki to sacrifice for a chakra fruit. Momoshiki changes his Rasengan into a ranged, precision attack , separating Code from Kawaki, who he grabs. Kawaki attempts to fight Momoshiki, but is overwhelmed. Shikamaru arrives, pinning Momoshiki with his shadow, allowing Naruto to save Kawaki. Ada wonders how Code will retrieve Kawaki now. Kawaki is distressed about Naruto putting himself in danger. Shikamaru attempts to constrict Momoshiki with his shadow, but he's too strong. Code holds Shikamaru hostage, and tells Momoshiki this is an opportunity for him to take revenge on Naruto. Momoshiki revels in the opportunity for making the son kill his father. Kawaki fails to stop Momoshiki, who aims an Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan at them.

Thinking on his wish for power to protect Naruto, Kawaki absorbs it, manifesting a new Kāma , to everyone's surprise. Ada tells Code Amado never intended to let Kawaki make a choice in the matter, probably restoring it along with his arm. Shikamaru wonders who Code is talking to. Momoshiki wonders what Amado is scheming, and admonishes Kawaki for always being used by someone else. Kawaki manifests Isshiki's Dōjutsu and uses his abilities against Momoshiki, startling everyone. Kawaki confirms to Naruto he's himself, and asks him not to interfere while he does what he does for Naruto. Kawaki and Momoshiki fight more evenly, Kawaki making hand seals for a Fire Release with Momoshiki's hand. They fight atop a cube . Momoshiki flies to evade Kawaki's weapons and charges back with a Rasengan. Boruto begins to resurface, allowing Kawaki to hit Momoshiki with chakra rods. He attempts to crush Momoshiki with a cube, but Naruto saves Boruto. Naruto tells Kawaki it's enough, but he's determined to kill Momoshiki. Naruto can't kill Boruto, so Kawaki will. Boruto stands up, disappointed the meds didn't work after all. Kawaki asks if Boruto remembers his promise, which Boruto confirms. He pushes Naruto away with Wind Release: Gale Palm , and asks Kawaki to do it. Kawaki transforms his arm , ramming it through Boruto's upper body, to everyone's shock.
