Did Naruto die in Boruto?
Let’s start with Naruto Uzumaki. What happened to the Seventh Hokage? After he took Kawaki into his family, becoming like a father to him, he found himself in a difficult position between his conflicted sons. Kawaki wants to protect Naruto at all costs, while Boruto, whose body can be taken over by Momoshiki, is a threat to his father, or at least he is regarded as such by Kawaki, who believes Naruto could be harmed in conflict with Otsutsuki. As such, Kawaki has already tried to kill Bourto, but when he failed, he found another solution to protect Naruto.
