Code has found himself between a rock and a hard place in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, despite never being more powerful. Having lost two of his biggest allies following the kidnapping of Amado, the failed Vessel is continuing his quest of avenging his departed master Jigen and might have just discovered the perfect tool of revenge against Konoha, Team 7, and Boruto. As creator Masashi Kishimoto continues his role of writer for the series, anything can happen.

While Code might no longer have the power of Eida and Daemon backing him up at this point, his own awakened power seems to have netted him a major boost in the allies department. Using his Chakra and ability to create “claw marks” that act as teleportation portals, Code explains how he plans on using the body of the Ten-Tails to mold a new army:
“The claw marks are made by mixing just a little iron from my blood with physically embodied chakra. They’re half material, half chakra. My hidden weapon. There used to be a limit to how many I could put out at one time but the restored me can create enough to completely enwrap this behemoth, a previously impossible feat. A biju is by nature a giant lump of chakra, so I’m simply splitting it up, like pinching pieces off of molding clay.”
What arises from Code’s new ability is a countless string of warriors, that, hilariously enough, look like Frieza from Dragon Ball Z, and are all adorned in his claw marks, meaning that they too can also teleport depending on where Code’s marks have been placed. Though the Kara Organization might have lost a few members, Code has managed to gain quite the force in this latest chapter.
In the Fourth Ninja World War of Naruto: Shippuden, the ninja world had to contend with enemies and allies brought back from the grave by Kibito, and with these numbers at his beck and call, perhaps Code will begin a new ninja world war for the next generation.
