Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 67 took an unexpected turn with Momoshiki sacrificing the possibility of his reincarnation to save his vessel. The chapter debunked several major theories and predictions and left many more questions, including the much-speculated post-timeskip scene and how the manga will connect it with the current timeline.
Trending
But with the worst of this arc presumably over, the upcoming chapter will likely provide some much-needed breathing space and deal with the aftermath of Code’s sudden attack and Kawaki awakening Otsutsuki Isshiki’s mark.

What to expect in chapter 68
Chapter 67 showcased a high-intensity battle between Code and Kawaki, with the latter easily overpowering his opponent. But Code managed to secure the upper hand by using Daemon’s repelling abilities, leading to Kawaki’s attack backfiring. However, it did not kill him, something that Code made sure of, so as not to anger Ada.
But Code seemed to have now shifted his attention towards locating Amado and getting his limiters removed. While his plan remains yet undisclosed, the final panel of chapter 67 suggested that he might have placed a claw mark on Shikamaru without him noticing and will use the same to infiltrate Konoha.
Chapter 68 will probably also elaborate on Kawaki’s currently ambiguous status, since his obsessive loyalty to Naruto makes him a powerful ally, but it also makes him volatile. It remains to be seen how Boruto will react to the criticism that his brother will have to face for trying to kill him.
It also remains unclear if Momoshiki is still a threat, since he was able to take over Boruto’s body and consciousness even with just 80% of it being Otsutsified. So, while Momoshiki’s actions have made sure that younger Uzumaki’s existence would not be wiped out, it does not make him an ally.
The Otsutsuki’s ominous prophecy being not too far ahead in the future also provides food for thought and might be addressed in the upcoming chapter.
