Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has introduced the sequel story’s own version of the Akatsuki, with the Kara Organization attempting to achieve the goals of the Otsutsuki, as Obito and Madara Uchiha had attempted to do in the past. Now, it would seem that the Hidden Leaf Village has some new problems to deal with as Code, the young rogue that is attempting avenge the death of his master Jigen, as received a serious power boost that might spell doom for Konoha and its ninjas.

Warning. If you have yet to read the latest chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Chapter 70, you might want to steer clear of the rest of this article as we’ll be diving into spoiler territory.

Unfortunately for Boruto and his friends, Code was not just successful in kidnapping Amado from the Hidden Leaf Village but was also able to strong-arm the former head of research and development for the nefarious band of ninjas into releasing the hidden power that lay within the current head of Kara. Originally looked upon as a failed Vessel for the Otsutsuki, it seems that Code has reached a new level that might even surpass the power of his master Jigen.

Twitter User Abdul_S17 shared the new look of Code from the latest chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, as Amado revealed the code words that kept Jigen’s right-hand man from achieving his full power which the young rogue believes now makes him “unable to be defeated”:

It might be some time before we see these current events of the manga play out in Boruto’s anime, as the television series was able to do some serious catching up when it came to the fight against Kara and the death of Jigen and Kurama. With the original material of the anime series still finding ways to put Team 7 through the wringer, having killed a number of allies to Boruto and his friends in the latest arc, it will be interesting to see where the original arcs go moving forward before the television show once again follows the manga’s story.
