In the first episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generation, Kawaki declared during his fight with Boruto, saying, “He will send him (Boruto) where he sent the Seventh Hokage.” Does Naruto dies in Boruto? We will give Interesting Theories About Naruto’s Death ( with Spoilers)
Later in the series, Naruto loses his most notable feature, the nine-tailed fox (Kurama), in his fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Do these events foretell Naruto’s death in the Boruto series?!
Naruto is yet to die in Boruto. However, he has been dramatically weakened since Kurama’s death. Despite the intriguing time-skip prologue, we have no idea what happens to him afterwards. However, there are speculations that he may die in the future.
Due to the time skip prologue, some fans believe that Kawaki will kill him, while others believe that he will be trapped in another dimension. Regardless of how he dies, here are some theories that justify his death.
4 Interesting Theories About Naruto’s Death
1. Naruto is not the protagonist
One thing that’s always been true in all books, movies, TV shows, and other mediums is that the protagonist doesn’t die. (At least, not until the conclusion of the story.)
Despite the suspense that prevails throughout Naruto Shippuden, Naruto does not die by being the protagonist of the story. However, he is no longer the main character; rather, Boruto is.
As a result, Naruto’s survival is no longer guaranteed by the plot armor. However, his death can help enrich the story’s narrative in certain ways.
2. Naruto is deadly and nerfed
Naruto is considered a god-level character who is extremely powerful, but he is not indestructible.
Furthermore, he no longer has the power of the Nine Tails. So you can guess his power level. Now that Naruto is in a weaker state, he will be even more vulnerable in the future.
3. Kishimoto loves to play with emotions
We all know what Kishimoto is capable of, so his decision to kill Naruto later in the series should come as no surprise.
Kishimoto understands that killing Naruto will invoke a strong emotional response from the audience and cause a significant shift in the story. It’s natural for him to wreak havoc on our feelings.
4. Leaf Village (Konoha) was demolished
In the series’ timeskip prologue, we find the village utterly decimated, to the point where even the large stone faces of the Hokage have disappeared. We know this wouldn’t have happened if Naruto had been present.
