Boruto, Chapter 7

Naruto and the other learn there is a group called “Kara” searching for people with the marks called Karma. Boruto’s team meets Kara’s fugitive Kawaki, a boy who also has Karma. Kawaki becomes an adopted member of the Uzumaki family to protect him. However, when trying to protect Kawaki, Naruto and Sasuke are defeated by the leader of Kara, Jigen, who seals Naruto away while Sasuke escapes. Team 7 saves Naruto when Boruto’s Karma causes him to be possessed by Momoshiki. After learning of this, Sasuke discovers all Karma users will be taken over by the Otsutsuki clan, including Jigen and Boruto. Meanwhile, a mutiny starts to form in Kara, with Koji Kashin challenging Jigen, while Amado goes to Konoha to seek asylum in exchange for information, revealing the real leader of Kara as Isshiki, who has been possessing Jigen ever since he was betrayed by Kaguya when they came to Earth millennia ago, and that Karma allows the Otsutsuki clan to resurrect via the host’s body. Although Koji kills Jigen, forcing Isshiki to reincarnate imperfectly while Kawaki’s Karma is removed in the process, Isshiki forces Koji to retreat and leaves to attack Konoha.

Three years later, Sarada has failed to convince Eighth Hokage Shikamaru Nara of Boruto’s innocence. Code attacks the village with an army of monsters, but Boruto arrives to help fight them off. Shikamaru and the rest of the village are forced to put off dealing with Boruto until they are done fighting Code. Though Boruto defeats Code, Kawaki attacks the former, allowing Code to flee before Boruto can get information about the Ten-Tails from him.
