With the assassin seemingly dead and the minister captured, what else could Boruto episode 270 be about?

It apparently could deliver the news that the assassin did not die and that it was Hana all along. Fans theorized for weeks that the friendly and shy Academy instructor was secretly the villain behind Kae’s assassination attempt, and it seems like they were right.

Last week’s episode saw Kawaki ignoring Naruto’s orders to stay away from Kae and save her from the masked assassin. In the end, the mission to keep the princess safe was revoked, as the mastermind behind it was captured.

Boruto episode 270, titled Two Sides of the Same Coin, will deal with the revelation of Hana being the assassin. Continue reading to learn more about the release.

Despite Kae being supposedly safe, Kawaki refuses to believe that the issue was resolved in such a simple manner. The assassin infiltrated Konoha without anyone noticing, it avoided detection even when the boy was near Kae at all times, and it disappeared without leaving a trace. The boy suspects that the mystery behind Kae’s assassination attempt has not been resolved.

Based on the preview for Boruto episode 270, Kawaki is right, as all hints point to Hana being the culprit behind the crime. In the previews, fans can see the teachers struggling to keep another personality contained. Whether this other Hana exists due to a medical condition or a Genjutsu she was placed under is still unknown.

Boruto episode 270 will most likely focus on Kawaki discovering the identity of the assassin and confronting Hana. The woman looked scared and regretful in the preview for the episode, which could mean that she did not intend to attack Kae. This will most likely be the last episode of the Academy arc of the series, which began almost two months ago.

Boruto episode 269 began with Kawaki being scolded by Naruto, Sai, and Shikamaru for withholding information about Kae’s assassin. The boy was taken out of the mission and told to stay away from Kae, as he no longer was needed. Nevertheless, Himawari convinced her older brother to figure out who the assassin could be.

With Eiki’s help, the siblings figured out that Batora was lying when he told Kae he was busy on the day of the Academy's festival. They ran towards Kae’s home, only to find the girl and Batora about to be killed by the assassin.

Kawaki fought the masked individual until he had them cornered. The assassin chose to blow themselves up instead of being captured.
