CONFIRMED: Naruto IS STILL ALIVE [BORUTO MANGA]

[JENchuuriki]

What?? HOW

 

[Illuminater]

Still alive, yes. Going to die later on? Probably. The fact that Naruto is on the promo art doesn't mean he's going to survive all the way through, just that he's going to appear. For more examples, see literally every work of fiction ever made where a character dies.

You act as if once we've run out of Movie to copy, the manga is suddenly going to snap back to Kawaki doing his stuff with no time to show what happened.

Couple things I find wrong with that. First of all people are assuming Naruto is dead; not that he'll die later. Maybe he will die later on but that's not the topic of discussion.

Second, going along the "hes already dead theory", I doubt they would show Naruto on the cover if hes dead. Also Kawaki isn't in the Boruto movie. So after the movie arc Naruto will still be alive during Kawaki's time and not DEAD.

Yea it's leaning to him either being sealed or dead...

Timelines make whether he's dead or going to die confusing. When i say he is going to die later, that is from the perspective of the current Boruto Manga, IE during the chuunin exams, not from the perspective of the Kawaki flash-forward. He's going to die (or be put in a situation that Kawaki assumes is death) at some point after the Chunin Exams.

Claiming that he'll still be alive once Kawaki does his thing on the grounds that he appears in promotional art is meaningless. Aside from anything else, The manga hasn't finished the Chuunin exams arc, where he is still a major, living, character.

This guy's art the way he makes those faces, makes me feel like these characters are dead inside. Like they would rather be anywhere, but here

Who cares what happens in a filler.

If you look at the poster, you will see that Naruto and Kawaki are placed to the extreme sides of the poster. Considering Kishi's trend of foreshadowing future events through positioning in art covers, the poster hints that something will happen between Naruto and Kawaki. Considering the symbolism of VOTE being applied in Boruto and Kawaki's fight, we can say that Kawaki intends to kill Boruto (As Sasuke wanted to kill Naruto).

If we look at Kawaki's ominous words in that context, then the scales tip a lot towards Naruto being killed by Kawaki.

A strong possibility considering Naruto denied the gift of immortality. :cat
