What can fans expect from Boruto episode 269?
In order for Kae to enjoy the Academy’s annual festival without any concern, Kawaki decided not to inform Naruto about the assassin accosting the princess. This proved to be a massive mistake on the part of the black-haired Uzumaki, who now needs to confront the consequences of his actions. Naruto decided to remove the boy from the mission, preventing Kawaki from seeing Kae and explaining himself.
He does not have a way to apologize to the princess for having deceived her and cannot do anything to prevent the assassin from going after her. Based on what we can see in the preview for this upcoming episode, the masked figure will take this opportunity to attack Kae in her own home. However, there is a possibility that Kawaki will arrive to save her at the last second.
The boy is known for how often he bends or outright breaks the rules at his convenience. Kae has become someone truly special to him, which may prompt him to disobey Naruto and go rescue the girl. This would be the most logical thing for the boy to do, as he is the only one who has any experience with the assassin’s tactics.
Lastly, Boruto episode 269 will likely give fans more clues about the identity of who could be behind the mask. Fans are theorizing that it could be Hana, Kawaki’s Academy teacher. The black-haired woman has been acting suspiciously over the last two episodes, making fans believe that she was somehow involved in the assassination attempt.
What happened in the last episode?
Boruto episode 268 started with Kawaki and his classmates getting ready for the Academy’s school festival. Boruto, Sarada, and their friends were enjoying the attractions of the event while the class prepared for their play. Moments before the performance started, an explosion shook the Academy, alerting Kawaki of a possible threat.
In an attempt to get Kae alone, the assassin threatened to blow up the school, forcing every Shinobi present to look for the bombs. The masked figure took the opportunity and tried to kill Kae, only to be stopped by Himawari and Kawaki. The episode ended with Hana being taken to the hospital after being injured during the fight and Kae asking Kawaki if he was tasked with protecting her.
