Farewell

It is also the final episode of the first part of the Boruto anime.

Synopsis
Naruto thinks back to Boruto's life as he tries to wake him up in vain. Code is surprised by Boruto's death at Kawaki's hand, and the return of his Kāma. Ada warns him against considering sacrificing Kawaki in Boruto's place for the God Tree. Code threatens to kill Shikamaru if Kawaki approaches. Kawaki is indifferent, so Code releases Shikamaru and tries to escape. Kawaki stops him by shrinking his Claw Marks so Code can't use them. Kawaki mocks Code, pointing out that killing Boruto should make it clear the lengths he'll go through to protect Naruto. He goes on the offensive and pressures Code. Shikamaru goes to check on Naruto, still in disbelief and denial of what happened, and stresses that the battle still isn't over. Kawaki tells Code that if the person who wants to meet him is also against Naruto, he won't show them any mercy either, and blasts him point blank. Kawaki is knocked out, Code having pulled Daemon through the Claw Mark on his head to reflect the attack. Ada is angry that Code involved Daemon without her permission, and he apologises for waking him up. Daemon wants to fight, but Code sends him back to Ada. She warns him he's been doing whatever he wants a lot, and stresses that Kawaki better be ok. Code tells her she can see Kawaki herself, and she assures him that had Kawaki died, she'd send Daemon to kill him. Code begrudgingly admits he's not strong enough to overcome Kawaki at the moment. Shikamaru tries pinning him when he moves to collect Kawaki, and says reinforcements are on the way. Code thinks it's a bluff, but is unwilling to risk it when Shikamaru points out that fighting Kawaki exhausted him. Code leaves, wanting Shikamaru to inform Amado he'll use him to have his limiters removed. Shikamaru asks Naruto what precautions should be taken with Kawaki, considering the extremes he'll go to protect Naruto. Naruto refuses to blame Kawaki. Shikamaru struggles to believe Naruto doesn't blame Kawaki for Boruto's death. Boruto moves and asks who's dead, to their shock. Naruto cries in joy and hugs him. Boruto has new markings on his torso, and Momoshiki communicates with him. Momoshiki explains that as his vessel, Boruto is the anchor of his soul, and his death would extinguish him like Isshiki. He reveals he had to use the still unextracted portion of his Kāma to reconstruct the destroyed portions of Boruto's body. Because of that, Momoshiki can no longer resurrect through Kāma. Boruto believes this means he wins, but Momoshiki points out that the full extraction of Kāma means he's fully Ōtsutsuki now, so he can be sacrificed to grow a God Tree, something Code will realise soon. Momoshiki adds that Boruto won't be revived like that again, and Boruto points out he was wrong before, recalling his previous warnings. Momoshiki laughs, saying the two matters are unrelated, eagerly waiting for it to play out. Boruto explains the nature of his resurrection to Naruto and Shikamaru. Ada notifies Code of these developments. She reminds Code of the terms of their deal, and warns that if he remains useless after his limiters are removed, or if she determines him to be a nuisance, she'll have no qualms disposing of him. He assures her that he has already taken measures. Kawaki wakes up in the hospital, Sumire taking care of him. He wonders why he's not imprisoned for killing Boruto, and Sumire reveals he's fine. Kawaki comments on Amado having restored his Kāma, and admits that for the first time he was glad to have it, needing it as otherwise Naruto would be dead. Boruto and Kawaki later talk at the Hokage Rock, discussing what "everything" means to each of them. Kawaki is determined to eliminate threats to Naruto, and Boruto is determined to prove Momoshiki wrong. A flashforward shows the start of their fight on the Hokage Rock.
