Koji Kashin releases his toad summon and lands on the ground in front of Team 7. He congratulates them on defeating Ao before being confronted by Konohamaru and asked about Kara. Koji says he doesn’t have time to answer and casts a sealing jutsu on the team. As he is about to burn them with fire, Konohamaru releases a sealing jutsu and goes to attack Koji, telling the team that he is ready to die to protect them. He creates a Rasengan, which to his surprise meets Koji’s own Rasengan, created without the use of Scientific Ninja Tools. Boruto is shocked that anyone other than his father and Konohamaru can use the Rasengan. Koji praises Konohamaru for his skills, but says that he still has a long way to go before the toad that was placed on Konohamara’s body explodes, showering him with fire. Koji explains that the fire on it is known as the true fire of samadhi and can never be extinguished. To Koji’s disbelief, Boruto reaches out to Konohamaru and activates a karma seal on his hand, absorbing the flames. Konohamaru passes out, and Koji comments that he didn’t expect to see the Karma Seal here because he thought Naruto was the one who defeated Momoshiki. Boruto tells Koji that he thinks too highly of himself. Sarada, Mitsuki and Katasuke look at Boruto in awe. Boruto then collapses and Sarada rushes in to protect him. Koji notes that it looks like this is Boruto’s first time using this power before turning around and starting. He thanks Team 7 for killing Ao, ignoring Sarada’s questions about what happened to Boruto. Sarada then attacks Koji with a kunai before being stopped by Mitsuki, who says she needs to make sure Boruto and Konohamaru are safe. Koji tells Mitsuki that he made the wise decision expected of Orochimaru’s child. Later, as Boruto and Konohamaru walk home, Sarada wonders what Boruto’s power was. As the team prepares to return to the village, Mitsuki notices a puppet, different from the ones near the airship. They notice that it’s quite far from the balloon and that it’s quite cold, meaning it’s been a long time since it was broken. It was also completely destroyed, indicating that whoever destroyed it had tremendous fighting ability. Konohamaru wonders if someone who had the cargo escaped to their location. Chamaru alerts them to a boy near the destroyed puppets. He is unconscious, but Katasuke thinks he is alive based on Chamaru’s reaction. Konohamaru worries that it might be a trap, but Boruto ignores him and rushes to the boy. Boruto then notices that the boy has the same karma seal as him.
