In Boruto Chapters 77 and 78 we have finally got answers to the most hyped Boruto questions and introductions to the Eida and Daemon’s powers, Eida’s love towards Kawaki, Code revenge on Kawaki and Naruto, and many more.
But the major topic in chapters 77 and 78 is all about Kawaki deciding to kill Otsutsuki’s in Narutoverse including Boruto to save Naruto and Hinata and Kawaki trapping Naruto and Hinata in another dimension using ishikki Dojutsu where time doesn’t flow and where they are safe.
In Boruto Chapter 78 we got to see how Boruto got the scar on his eye which was given by none other than Kawaki. Also, there are many references to the Boruto Time Skip which we’re all waiting for. So let us dig all into it and know everything we know so far.
Boruto Time Skip
The Time Skip of Boruto Series was shown in the 1st chapter of Boruto where we can see Adult Boruto and Kawaki have a death battle between them and we also see the Konoha ( leaf Village) is completely destroyed in the Time-Skip Era. And above all Kawaki in the death battle, talks with Boruto and typically mentions that Naruto was killed and the Shinobi world is finally over. So is Naruto really gonna die?
Will Naruto Die in Boruto?

No, Naruto not gonna die in the Boruto series according to the recent Boruto chapter 78 thankfully Naruto was not killed and he was only transported to another dimension where time doesn’t flow using Ishikki Dojutsu. It all comes to the Time Skip where Kawaki mentions to Boruto that he will send him to the same place where Lord 7th ( Naruto ) has been sent in the deadly battle with Boruto.
Where we all thought Naruto was gonna die because the situation seems that Naruto was killed by Kawaki and Boruto was going to take revenge. But in Boruto Chapter 78 we get to see that Kawaki sent Naruto and Hinata to another dimension where time does not flow and also they don’t starve and where they will be safe.
This answers our question of whether will Naruto Gonna Die or not in Boruto which is no. But we still can’t be rest assured until the Time skip happens because there are still some questions about the Boruto and Kawaki fight in the Time Skip.
Those are Boruto knows about Naruto and Hinata where are they and moreover they’re safe in Boruto Chapter 78. So why did Time Skip Boruto angry with Kawaki and fights with Kawaki if he knows Naruto was not dead and knows he is also not gonna die? To get answers to these questions we should wait for the Boruto Time Skip so when is it happening?
When is the Boruto Time Skip?

Boruto Manga was never this close to the Time Skip. Finally, we know how Time-Skip Boruto got the Scar on his Eye and what gonna be the powers of Kawaki and Boruto at the End Game of the Boruto series. There are so many references to the time skip in the Boruto Chapter 78 so the question raises is the Boruto Time Skip here?
No, the Boruto Time Skip has still more time to happen but we are close to it. The Bortuo Chapter 78 is the start of establishing the story for Time Skip. We got to know why will Boruto and Kawaki’s fight will happen and all the things about the origin of the fight and the main story of Otsutsuki and the power of Boruto and Kawaki we got a glimpse of everything.
Then why Time Skip still takes time? It is because, in the Boruto Time Skip, we have seen Boruto and Kawaki becoming adults and they are using their full powers and abilities. Also, the leaf village is completely destroyed and many more hidden details like Shinobi world destroying Boruto’s powerup area yet to happen.
But in the present timeline of Boruto’s story, we are not even close to unlocking Boruto’s full potential or Boruto Jougan Powers. Even though in the present Boruto story, Kawaki was powerful and can use most of the techniques of Ishikki he still has a long way to go.
He still has to master all the Ishikki abilities and other techniques of Otstsuki. So we are still far away from the Time Skip but we are close to it. So when we can see the Boruto Time Skip reaching Manga? We don’t have an exact date for it but we assume that Boruto Time Skip can happen at the end of 2023 if there are no delays in Manga or we can see it in the first half of 2024.
Fan Assumptions on Boruto Time Skip

But we think the Boruto time skip happens around the end of the year around November or December or in the first half of the next year 2024.
