Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.

Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO-ナルト-), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.

I can’t believe what I’m reading right now. This is insane. I mean, OP battle aside, seeing just how crazy Naruto is going, it should be par for — but, damn.

This is how you kill a god. Again.

5/5 Stars (%92/100)

Despite many negative comments I've seen on the Internet, I actually enjoyed this volume a lot. The highlight of this volume was Naruto's new chakra mode and the fact that the chapter is titled "Sacrifice." We all know now that Naruto is going to die/disappear from the beginning of Boruto. We just don't know what is going to happen and many people thought that this is where Naruto is going to die. I still don't think Naruto and Sasuke can be killed but we'll see what happens in the future.

The fight Isshiki comes to an end thanks to Naruto and his new Baryon Mode. We say farewell to a character we all loved and cared. The ending was actually great and I'm loving the relationship between Boruto and Kawaki. I'm curious to see what's going to happen next and now that Kishimoto is the main writer (I think), things might change.

Read this today before work. Another great volume, really like the direction the story is going in, and wish people would give the series a try instead of always comparing it to Naruto. There’s a lot of cool ideas and heart in this series that people are missing out on.

As usual each star goes for the original Naruto characters... Can't seem to get attached to the kids, and I still dislike this modern Hidden Leaf Village: too much technology, it's like the ninja world doesn't even exist anymore.

My reading of the original Naruto really made me realize how shitty this is. It honestly doesn't compare.
Probably gonna stop here, this is a mess.

And Kurama is FREAKING dead??? How dare you. How DARE YOU.

Volume 14: Chapter 52-55

Arc 4: Kawaki


- Naruto goes into Baryon Mode. The mode is same like nuclear fusion where Naruto's energy and Kurama's energy collide to form a new type of energy. Naruto is beating Isshiki. The Baryon Mode's drawback is great. It is a race about who's lifespan runs out first. Every attacks that hit Isshiki will reduce his lifespan. From 2-3 days, Isshiki's lifespan now reduced to about 10 minutes.

- Boruto falls unconscious. Isshiki used Naruto's chakra that link to Kawaki's hand to transport Kawaki into the battlefield. Isshiki only have 5 minutes left. Kawaki run away to buy some time. Naruto and Sasuke getting beaten in order to let Kawaki runs.

- Isshiki threat to kill Naruto if Kawaki doesn't come out. Finally, Kawaki comes out. Isshiki implanted a Karma in Kawaki's body. Isshiki's body slowly crumbled to ashes as he have reach his limit. Karma on Kawaki's body disappear. Real Kawaki appears from hiding. Isshiki only implanted his Karma in Kawaki's Kage Bunshin. Isshiki died without having Karma implanted to any vessel.

- Boruto is possessed by Momoshiki. He stabbed Sasuke's Rinnegan with kunai. Momoshiki fights with Kawaki and Sasuke. According to Momoshiki, Karma that have been extracted remain in Kawaki's body. Kawaki already 80% become Ohtsutsuki. He will used Kawaki to be fed to Juubi.

- Momoshiki don't absorb ninjutsu as he worried that Boruto will wake up. Kawaki burned himself. Momoshiki had no choice but to absorb the fire. Boruto wakes up and regain his body back.

- Naruto falls unconscious. Naruto had a conversation with Kurama. Baryon Mode cost Kurama's life not Naruto's. Kurama then disappear. Boruto used his Karma to get them back to Konoha.

- Isshiki's soul appear in front of Code who is guarding the Juubi. Code have a pure weapon, White Karma. He is supposed to be Isshiki's vessel but he is a failure. Isshiki passed Ohtsutsuki's will to Code. He will feed Boruto and Kawaki to the Juubi and cultivated the chakra fruit. He will bear all the information of life. Then, he will go to other planets and do the same until he achieved a god state.

- Code ready to take revenge.

Summary of volume 14:
Naruto overwhelms Isshiki using Baryon Mode and Kurama explains that it will continue to fuse their chakra until one of them dies, but that by linking with Isshiki's chakra it will affect him as well. The technique dramatically shortens Isshiki's lifespan, but he gains the upper hand and realizes that he can sense Kawaki through Naruto's prosthetic arm, opening a portal and dragging him to the battlefield. Sasuke helps Kawaki escape and hide, but when Isshiki tortures and threatens to kill Naruto he decides to reveal himself. Isshiki then attempts to etch a new Karma on Kawaki only for the mark to disappear moments later; as Isshiki's body crumbles, Kawaki reveals that he tricked him using a Shadow Doppelganger and stomps on his remains, killing him. In the aftermath, Momoshiki suddenly takes control of Boruto's body and attacks, destroying Sasuke's Rinnegan. Kawaki and Sasuke struggle to fight back as Momoshiki reveals his plan to kidnap Kawaki and steal Isshiki's Ten Tails. However, Boruto manages to regain control when Kawaki forces Momoshiki to absorb chakra. After the battle Kurama bids farewell to Naruto and vanishes, with the last of his chakra having been consumed by Baryon Mode. Boruto and Kawaki affirm their brotherly bond and Boruto uses his Karma to return the battered group to Konoha. In Kara's dimension Code is revealed to bear a unique White Karma and is visited by Isshiki's fading spirit, which tells him that while he can't be used as a vessel, he can use his Karma to transform into an Otsutsuki and continue the clan's legacy: devour worlds and evolve until attaining godhood. Code activates his Karma and vows to avenge Isshiki.
Later on Code starts looking for a woman named Eida.

So far, there are five arcs in the manga:

Versus Momoshiki Arc
Mujina Bandits Arc
Ao Arc
Kawaki Arc
Post-Kawaki Arc

The Kawaki one being my favorite.
FYI there is 19 arcs currently in the anime with episode 128 being were the anime starts to cover the manga again.

Since this volume will cover up to where the manga is as of last month, I'm marking it as read and calling it quits on the series.

Call me when the death rumors come back and we'll see if I can end up actually caring about any of the kids.

Killing Naruto would have been harsh to endure but I wasn't quite prepared to see this outcome.
I never thought from the beginning of Naruto that one day Kurama and him would be able to be separated without killing Naruto in the process.
I have to say that killing the 9 tails is making me frustrated. He was the fiercest bijuu and one of the most complex character of the manga.
Need to see what's coming next.

Chapter 52:

Chapter 52:

Chapter 52: Think of it like nuclear fusion. It's a similar principle to how the Sun produces energy. My chakra and your chakra are serving as the kernels to produce a whole other, new type of energy. That's all.
It sounds pretty simple, but how is that different from Kurama mode and Sage of Six Paths mode?
Oh, it's different, all right, from the very root of it. The other modes involve taking chakra that you acquire from elsewhere and just using it, but this is a totally different beast. As the raw materials to create this energy, my chakra and yours get consumed, until it completely runs out. Listen don't make any unnecessary moves. Even rid yourself of superfluous thoughts. Those are the tricks to keep this Baryon mode going for as long as possible.

Chapter 52:

Chapter 52:

Chapter 52: This power is immense. It should definitely exceeds his. However, we still wouldn't win against him. Cuz the drawbacks are too great. We'll end up dying before he does.
What?! You're kidding right?!
Relax. That would normally be the case. But our circumstances here are different. That's why I chose this method.
What do you mean?
You see, the downside that it shortens our lives is the key. Because all chakra is connected, this same power that comes into being from bits of our lives also shaves off his life when it comes in contact with him.

Chapter 52:

Chapter 53:

Chapter 53:

Chapter 53: A world without Lord Seventh has no worth to me. I'd rather be dead. That's what I'm saying!

Chapter 53:

Chapter 53:

Chapter 54:

Chapter 54: Good. Just as I'd hoped. It seems the extraction has progressed quite far. Which means it should work.
What do you mean by that?!
I mean that even if karma itself has vanished, the Ohtsutsuki data that was extracted still remains in your body. Just as with boruto, the process was about 80 percent complate in you. That's right. Your body is almost wholly Ohtsutsuki at this point. And so, I should be able to use you as my sacrifice to cultivate the Divine Tree.

Chapter 54:

Chapter 55:

Chapter 55:

Chapter 55: I came to say farewell. So far as that goes. This may be our last conversation. So start talking.
Well... You killed my pa and ma... No, that's not it. We've been through a lot, but all in all, I'm really glad you were around. Thanks.
Are you serious? That's it?
I thought I was prepared for this, but now that the time's come I have no idea what to say.
The Baryon mode worked, and we were able to take down that Ohtsutsuki. I just didn't want to chase my tails and die in vain. So this ain't a bad way to go.
I've still got a lot of worries. Boruto, Kawaki, the village...
Hmph, well, that's none of my concern. You'll need to take care of that on your own. Normally when a jinchuruki's biju is extracted, they die. But that doesn't apply to you. The biju's chakra simply vanishes. It probably looks to others like you're dead, but it's no more than a temporary state of shock. Don't worry, you'll wake up soon.
...! Hold on... Wait a sec. What are you saying?!
The Baryon mode's price is my life. Not yours, Naruto. Just so you know, I never once lied to you. At no time did I ever say that you would die.
You--! You deliberately mislead me!
If I'd told you at the get-go that this power came in exchange for my life, you would've hesitated. Or worse, opposed it outright. Even if you knew it was our only hope. Cuz you're annoying like that. Am I wrong?
... Kurama!
Tch. Don't look at me like that. That's what's annoying about you. Well, I guess this is it. I've got to go, but be real careful. You ain't gonna have superhuman strength anymore. So if you overdo it, you'll end up joining me in no time.


Chapter 55: Code. My most loyal, beloved servant. Ohtsutsuki Isshiki! What are you doing here?!
How fate indulges in irony. That with all my vessels gone and nowhere for my soul to dwell, its destination would be you, Code, who could not become a vessel.

Chapter 55: The non-vessel white karma, that is my legacy dwelling within you in the form of pure power. And you shall inherit the Ohtsutsuki will in addition to that white karma, Code. My soul will dissipae shortly. But I cannot allow the Ohtsutsuki will to be snuffed out as well. Not when we have devoured countless planets and continuously evelved over thousands of years.
Sure. Go on. What would you have me do?
Kawaki or Uzumaki Boruto. Consecrate either of them to Ten Tails and cultivate a Divine Tree. Then procure the Chakra Fruit that Divine Tree bears. It is the crystallization of a planet's life. It shall contain everything. A record of all life that ever lived and died on this planet, including me. Eat it and upgrade yourself, Code. Do that and you yourself will become a new Ohtsutsuki.


Chapter 55: I'll somehow get rid of your karma. I swear it. I absolutely hate karma from the bottom of my heart. And I won't rest, until I stamp them all out, no matter who has it.

Finally, Kishimoto has taken over for the previous writer. The Boruto series has always vibed with the Naruto series. But, this volume is now a continuation of the Naruto series, not just some sequel.

Naruto and Sasuke both got a major power taken from them. Sasuke’s Sharingan has been used so much that his eye looks like Itachi’s when he was going blind.

Isshiki kicked the bucket and passed everything on to Code. Code is on his way to beat the shit out of everyone involved in that.

Also, why the fuck is Boruto going to be killed by Sasuke for running amok, but every single teacher Naruto had refused to kill him when he ran amok and ended up just having people evacuate the area??

Boruto broke his stupid horn and Momoshiki freaked out.


Naruto losing Kurama breaks my heart. I’m sure every single Naruto fan is shedding some tears. He’s been around since the beginning. Even though Naruto says Sasuke is his best friend… it’s really, Kurama, who is.

“If I’d told you at the get-go that this power came in exchange for my life, you would’ve hesitated. Or worse, opposed it outright. Even if you knew it was our only hope. ‘Cause you’re annoying like that. Am I wrong?”

“Don’t look at me like that. That’s(wish I could italicize this word) what’s annoying about you. Well, I guess this is it. I’ve got to go, but, be real careful. You ain’t gonna have superhuman strength anymore. So if you overdo it, you’ll end up joining me in no time. But until that day comes, you be well, Naruto.”

Vol 14 is the first volume where Kishimoto is back playing a direct role on the story and it happens to be one where he introduces a new ability for Naruto while also give us a chance to see how far Naruto and his relationship with Kurama developed. While I wont spoil that, it was very bittersweet to see.

Additionally, Momoshiki makes yet another appearance while also allow Boruto to display some fast acting. The only thing I would ding the volume for is the lack of any lingering guilt Boruto has over what transpires in this volume. While one can say it was because he wasn't in control of himself, I would think a normal reaction would be to still feel guilty since he was powerless to keep Momoshiki at bay.

The VIP is Kawaki of course, who used the limited ninjutsu he had to hold Isshiki back, while running too.

The scenes he had of the care and love he received from Naruto were great.

I am continuing this manga series almost after 3 years and my god it is even better with where I left off, with Naruto using the Baryon mode and the battle with Isshiki is epic, the fight scenes are not compromised and I love the resolution but the heavy cost of it, how Sasuke and Kawaki are involved, the re-emergence of Momoshiki and like how will they defeat him and save Boruto? Heavy costs, insane, epic action scenes. Surprising reveals and I also like the mythological components they are adding here and we are left with an interesting status quo that will change the universe in some interesting ways and I can't wait to find out what happens next!!

Even on vol 14, and vol 90+ overall this series gets better everytime!

It’s been more than a year since I last read Boruto. The last volume I read was the thirteenth volume. Now that I’m back reading this series, I just wanted to say that I miss the characters so much.

Volume 14 is the ultimate installment for the Kawaki Arc and I really liked it! Teamwork at its best! Can’t wait to read the succeeding volumes, knowing how much hype was built for the next antagonist—Code!

Vu la fin du tome treize de Boruto, j'ai mis un petit peu de temps avant de me décider à enchaîner mes lectures. J'avoue que je n'étais pas trop rassurée parce qu'il se passait et vu que je n'arrive pas vraiment à comprendre où les mangakas veulent nous mener, surtout avec les anciens personnages, que je n'étais pas certaine d'être prête pour le quatorzième volume. Fort heureusement, même si l'on subit une perte, et pas des moindres, l'ensemble reste stable, si je puis dire.

C'est le tome des combats, et cela accapare presque les trois-quarts de la narration. Ce n'est pas quelque chose dont je me plains, il y a toujours un moment dans les shonens où les affrontements prennent le pas. Pas beaucoup de dialogues donc. La tension est pourtant bien palpable. Naruto et Karuma ont tout misé sur une dernière technique qui risque de leur coûter la vie, mais face à l'ennemi qu'est Isshiki le septième Hokage n'a pas d'autre choix. Franchement, ce n'était pas le moment le plus serein de la saga, je peux vous l'avouer sans peine. A chaque page, je me disais que j'allais avoir une crise d'apoplexie. Mais par contre, j'ai retrouvé un peu de Naruto (le manga) dans la construction du combat. De l'imagination, une fluidité et pas cette impression persistante de déjà vue. Vient ensuite se greffer le second affrontement. Là encore, on joue sur le côté dramatique, autant pour ce qui concerne la possession de Boruto que l'affrontement "fratricide" entre lui et Kawaki. Cependant, les mangakas jouent aussi la carte de ce lien fraternel dans le sens positif du terme. C'est charmant même si je n'arrive pas à m'ôter de la tête cette question : "jusqu'à quand ?".

Globalement, entre la tension et le jeu des émotions qui sont très bien, le tome est très sympathique à lire. J'aime toujours autant l'exploitation des liens que Kawaki a formé avec les Uzumaki, floutant ainsi son rôle dans cette nouvelle guerre. Les combats étaient aussi réussis. Mais (oui, vous le sentiez venir), je trouve toujours que l'on est trop fébrile dans l'ensemble. Trop d'effet de répétitions. Trop de on est sauvé, ah mais non, l'ennemi revient. Je ne suis toujours pas convaincu par le délire des extraterrestres, et pour finir, l'événement majeur de ce tome de Boruto qui est expédié sans aucune émotion, ou à peine... Ce n'était vraiment pas rendre hommage à ce personnage, et je suis vraiment très déçue de la tournure des événements... J'ai pour le coup le sentiment que l'effet nostalgie touche à sa fin et que les mangakas veulent s'en débarrasser quitte à froisser les lecteurs. Pas vraiment la meilleure approche qui soit, vous en conviendrez.

Reste maintenant à voir comment les choses vont tourner. Je suis charmée par le duo Kawaki et Boruto surtout après ce tome, mais faut-il encore que cela perdure. Décidément cette suite n'est pas à la hauteur de mes espérances, même si elle reste sympathique.

Depowered

Think this was just a story to depower the powerhouses. I mean we can't have them coming in to save the day all the time. But that is a good thing. The next generation needs to take over and stand in their own.

One battle ends as another begins, and a new foe emerges from the shadows as a long time ally makes the ultimate sacrifice.

I'm sad. That's all I'm gunna say without spoiling it. Trust Kishimoto to take over writing duties and kill someone off. Mean.

Lo único bueno fue la forma en que esta dibujo. No me gusto lo que le hizo Boruto a Sasuke. Me aburrí muchísimo. Y el personaje de Kawaki no me gusta nada 👎. Del personaje malo Isshiki Ohtsutsuki e so de entrar al cuerpo de Boruto lo hace más estupido.

So sad now!

Hair raising battle between Naruto and Ishiki. Naruto stalling for time using a new ability that would end him and Kurama, or so he thouht. Boruto overtaken by Momoshiki. Sasuke injured. Appearance of new enemy: Code.

Sad, action packed, adventure. Great read

I watched the anime up to this point and I cried watching Karuma disappear. The manga didn’t seem as impactful, but tragic none the less. Bayron mode is badass but suicidal. Naruto will never be the same. Very intrigued to see where this story goes

Insane battle but I just did not like the turn of things. Nerfing Sasuke and Naruto?! I understand why (because the next generation has to be stronger) but I feel like it could’ve been written a totally different way. Either way, this volume was insanely good.

This series has been quite good right from the start. I am liking the new generation of characters, the older characters, the new baddies, the back-and-forth as some characters' motivations remain questionable... but also and especially Naruto forever being Naruto.
