The Boruto plot twist of the upcoming chapter has already sent fans into a frenzy. While Boruto chapter 79 is set to be released on Sunday, March 19, 2023, at 12 am JST, raw scans and spoilers of the chapter went viral on the internet the previous week. Fans were already shocked by the previous chapter's plot twists, where Naruto and Hinata were sealed in a different dimension by Kawaki. But chapter 79 raw scans indicate a bigger Boruto plot twist in the franchise.

With the Boruto plot twist of chapter 79, the story of the series will change its course to a different one. Since Boruto chapter 69, the series has revolved around defending Konoha from the attack expected from Code. However, after the Boruto plot twist in the most recent chapter, it seems that the story is about to follow a different arc.

Boruto plot twist will drive the story to a different path

After Kawaki abandoned the mission of living with Eida and Daemon and sealed Naruto and Hinata in chapter 77, the plot initially started to take a different turn. Kawaki decided to kill Boruto again so that he could protect Naruto and the Konoha village. But no matter how noble the reason was, the authority of Konoha couldn’t accept it.

Kawaki ultimately went through with his plan to kill Boruto without any hindrance. Meanwhile, Eida informed Shikamaru and others about Naruto and Hinata’s disappearance and Kawaki’s motive. While Kawaki engaged in a battle against Boruto, everyone arrived at the spot and surrounded Kawaki.

In an unexpected turn of events, when everyone thought that they had caught Kawaki, Momoshiki appeared through Boruto’s body and helped Kawaki escape.

Further, according to the raw scans of the next chapter of Boruto, Kawaki seemed tired after trying over and over to get rid of his chakra, and Eida found him in the end. Eida assured him that she was on his side, and Kawaki then stated his wish to Eida that it would be easy for Kawaki to kill Boruto if the latter were an outsider, so that no one could stop Kawaki from killing Boruto.

At that moment, Eida showed her true power. With Eida’s godlike power, named Omnipotence, she was able to rewrite history, and by rewriting history, the lives of Kawaki and Boruto were reversed. Kawaki became the son of Naruto Uzumaki, who was born and raised in Konoha. On the other hand, Boruto became an outsider who killed Naruto. The power of Eida changed the whole plot of the story.

It seems like Momoshiki’s prophecy regarding Boruto losing everything became a reality. Momoshiki even asked Boruto how it felt after losing everything, and it depicts a clear picture of driving the story in a whole new direction.

The Boruto plot twist has completely changed the terms of the previous chapters. Now that Boruto is considered an outsider who killed Naruto, it is possible that every Shinobi will now look for him as a rogue ninja. The story’s concentration on Code seems totally distracted, and it has now apparently chosen a new direction.
