Kawaki’s Descent Into Madness
How Boruto’s Brother Becomes a Demigod
To really understand the depth of Kawaki’s coming madness, we need to go back to a key moment that happened in Chapter 25 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex. Many people assume that once Kawaki’s lie about Naruto is revealed, that will mark the height of his downfall. But that’s not the case.
The collapse of Eida’s omnipotence and the exposure of what truly happened to the Seventh Hokage isn’t Kawaki’s final breaking point—it’s merely the spark that drags him into an abyss far darker than anyone expects. That descent truly begins in Chapter 26 of Boruto Two Blue Vortex, signaling the closing stages of the Kawaki we once knew.
Without realizing it, Jura isn’t leading Kawaki toward defeat. Instead, he’s triggering a terrifying transformation. This spark leads directly into the explosive showdown between Kawaki and Jura, as detailed in Boruto Manga Chapter 24.” And when that change fully takes shape, Jura will regret ever setting it in motion—because he will have unleashed a demigod with nothing left to lose.
Boruto’s Gamble With Momoshiki
After humiliating both Boruto and Kawaki—shrugging off their strongest moves and reducing them to helplessness—Jura left Boruto with no choice. Boruto turned to the one entity Kawaki despises more than anything: Momoshiki Otsutsuki.
And Boruto didn’t just exchange words with him. He entered their shared mental space and gave Momoshiki the ultimate offer: full control of his body.
This is now the second time Boruto has struck a deal with Momoshiki behind Kawaki’s back. And if the past is any indicator, Kawaki’s fury will explode with a force greater than anything we’ve seen.
The last time Kawaki merely sensed Momoshiki emerging through Boruto’s body, he responded by sealing both Naruto and Hinata away in another dimension and attempting to kill Boruto outright. But this time, the betrayal cuts even deeper.
Why Kawaki’s Fury Will Be Personal
Kawaki knows exactly what Momoshiki desires most: to feed him to the Ten-Tails and grow a chakra fruit. So what happens when Kawaki finds out Boruto has been bargaining with the very demon that craves his death?
For Kawaki, this isn’t just a tactical move—it’s personal. It’s proof that, deep down, Boruto trusts Momoshiki more than him, his own brother.
From Kawaki’s perspective, shaped by PTSD and paranoia born from years of Otsutsuki abuse, Boruto’s deal will feel like a betrayal: “Kill Jura, and then you can take Kawaki as your prize.” To him, Boruto looks like a naive fool who thinks he can control the devil.
And this will become the final straw. Kawaki already sees Boruto not as a brother, but as a ticking time bomb. This new pact confirms it: Boruto and Momoshiki are inseparable, destined to doom them all.
Boruto’s betrayal isn’t just personal—it fuels a declaration of war, vividly captured in Chapter 23.
The Pain of Broken Trust
Here’s the heart of Kawaki’s rage: it won’t just come from Boruto’s reckless gamble. It will come from the pain of broken trust.
Despite the omnipotence, despite the exile, despite the village’s hatred, Kawaki still saw Boruto as his brother. Even Eida confirmed this at the end of Part 1. Not even a rewritten reality could rip that bond from his heart.
But when the only person he can still call family betrays him again—by siding with his executioner—that pain doesn’t fade. It festers. It becomes fuel for hate.
Adding emotional complexity, Sarada finally admits her feelings for Boruto in Chapter 25, intensifying Kawaki’s sense of betrayal.
Jura: Kawaki’s Dark Mirror
The real tragedy unfolds inside Kawaki himself, and its physical embodiment is Jura. The theory that Jura is Kawaki’s reflection, his shadow projection, isn’t just plausible—it’s brilliant.
Remember the scene where Jura smiled after Kawaki praised him? At first glance, it seems minor. But symbolically, it’s massive. Jura isn’t just an enemy. He’s Kawaki’s dark mirror, the embodiment of his fears, pain, and shadow self.
That smile represents a metaphor for self-acceptance. Kawaki unconsciously acknowledged a piece of himself within Jura, and in return, the dark copy felt satisfied—as if it wasn’t just a monster.
This is a reminder of the eternal struggle of a hero with himself. Jura’s smile is proof that even the darkness craves recognition.
The Shinju Evolution and Jura’s Goal
The Shinju have evolved. They now create intelligent clones based on whoever’s chakra they absorb. These clones inherit techniques, instincts, desires, and even emotional bonds.
Apply this to Jura, and his goal becomes clear: to consume Naruto Uzumaki.
And who in the Naruto-Boruto universe is more obsessed with Naruto than Kawaki? No one. Naruto was everything to him—father, god, his very reason to exist. Kawaki’s love was absolute, selfish, and destructive. He sealed Naruto away, believing suffering was worth safety.
Jura mirrors that obsession but in a twisted form. He doesn’t understand love—he sees Naruto as a key to evolution. It’s the perfect reflection.
The Lie Exposed
Inside Amado’s lab, through Kawaki’s cybernetic eyes, Sumire watches his battle with Jura. And then Jura makes a stunning deduction: Naruto Uzumaki is alive.
In that private moment, Kawaki confirms it without hesitation. He admits he never killed Naruto. His perfect world cracks wide open.
Eida’s omnipotence rewrote memories, but it couldn’t protect Kawaki’s own fabricated lie. Now Sumire—immune to omnipotence—has digital proof.
Amado, the master manipulator, was waiting for this. With evidence in hand, Kawaki becomes expendable. His confession can exile him from Konoha, clearing the way for Amado’s true plan.
The Scenarios of Kawaki’s Fall
Several possible outcomes arise from this exposure:
- Public Humiliation – Amado could stage a public broadcast with Jura confirming the truth. Kawaki’s reputation collapses.
- Brotherly Mercy – Sumire might give the proof to Boruto, who would protect Kawaki’s image. But paranoia could twist Kawaki’s view further.
- Preemptive Strike – Feeling cornered, Kawaki might strike first, accusing allies of treachery.
Either way, Kawaki’s exile won’t break him—it will free him. With nothing left to lose, he can finally pursue absolute power.
Two Terrifying Paths
Kawaki has two potential roads to godhood:
- Path One: The Chakra Fruit – He sacrifices an Otsutsuki (perhaps even Boruto) to the Ten-Tails.
- Path Two: Ten-Tails Jinchūriki – He seals the Ten-Tails inside himself, gaining Sage of Six Paths–level power.
Either choice turns him into a paradox: a monster who becomes everything he hates to protect what he loves.
Kawaki’s Godhood and the Coming Clash
Kawaki’s dojutsu, the Kokugan, is the key to eight mystical powers from Hindu mythology—the Siddhis. With them, he can bend the very laws of physics.
But Jura’s deduction will prove fatal. By exposing Kawaki’s lie, Jura thought he was cornering him. Instead, he will unleash something far worse: a god with nothing left to lose.
Kawaki’s road is paved with good intentions, but it leads straight to hell. His inevitable clash with Boruto—the heir of the Will of Fire—is unavoidable.
Final Questions
Kawaki’s story is reaching a terrifying climax. But the ending hasn’t been written yet. That leaves us with questions:
- Can Kawaki, after reaching godlike power, hold onto even a shred of humanity?
- Is Amado the true villain, pulling strings behind the scenes?
- Can someone truly find redemption after becoming a monster to save the world?
