Naruto's struggle

The character Naruto Uzumaki was created by Masashi Kishimoto in a comic of the same name in 1999. The Naruto comic ended in 2014 which was followed by the animated series in 2017.

Two years later, Naruto returned to action with his son Boruto who is now the center of attention of readers. The most popular comic and anime series from Japan continues to attract the attention of readers.

Naruto Uzumaki himself is told as an orphaned ninja who lives in the village of Konoha. Even though he often has trouble with villagers or fellow shinobi, Naruto has a big dream to become Hokage or leader of the village of Konoha.

Naruto's struggle to become Hokage was not easy, he had to face various obstacles. Starting from the betrayal of Sasuke Uchiha, stopping the Akatsuki group, to fighting against Madara and Kaguya in the fourth shinobi world war.

Naruto's death

Indeed, Naruto's death has been clear since the beginning of the Boruto story. In the first chapter of the comic Boruto published in 2019, it implies the death of the protagonist.

This can be seen from Kawaki and Boruto's enmity on the cliff face of the Hokage that has been destroyed or more precisely on top of the Naruto monument. Kawaki also said he would send Boruto as he ended the life of Nanadaime or Konoha's seventh leader, Naruto.

Obviously, since the first chapter fans have suspected Naruto's death will be the core of the story of Boruto. Given that the main conflict in the Boruto generation will be struggling with a new power called Karma, which is a special type of seal for the Otsutsuki clan whose gods were defeated by Naruto during the fourth Shinobi War.

Keep in mind that the Boruto comic is no longer being done by Masashi Kishimoto. But comic artists Mikio Ikemoto and Ukyo Kodachi, but still under the direct supervision of the mangaka Naruto.

Of course, fans will still be wondering what comic artists will do if they make it tragic like that. Many suspect, this will be the end of Naruto's story after protecting Boruto in his final fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki who wants to destroy the village of Konoha.

Intrigued by the next story from the manga Boruto: Naruto Next Generation, chapter 52 will be published on November 20, 2020. Is Naruto really going to die, what do you think?
