With Hana’s dark side in control of the teacher's body, Kawaki and his classmates will be in mortal danger in Boruto episode 271 that is scheduled to be released in a few days. Kae’s assassin has been revealed to be none other than her teacher, who developed a split personality after being forced to kill her friends. Her evil side has trapped the kind teacher, and it does not seem like she can be rescued at the moment.
In last week’s episode, fans saw Hana struggle to comprehend the existence of her dark half. Sadly, the evil side of the teacher took over and tried to kill Kae once again, although she was stopped by Kawaki. Boruto episode 271, titled Island of Treachery, will show Kawaki and his classmates attempting to survive Dark Hana’s traps inside a remote island.

What can fans expect from Boruto episode 271?
Dark Hana is determined to finish her mission, even after her master has been captured and arrested. The red-haired woman simply wants to cause as much pain and death as possible. To accomplish this, she filled an entire island with traps that are sure to kill the weakest students. In the preview for Boruto episode 271, we can see Mimi’s puppy trapped in a claw.
Kawaki and his classmates are not going to have a good time during this field trip, and many of them are in danger of being gravely injured. The Uzumaki boy will have to keep his friends safe from Hana’s traps, as it is unlikely that the kids will be experienced enough to protect themselves. Still, this strange situation could be the final piece of the puzzle for Kawaki to discover Hana’s secret.
Based on the preview, the black-haired boy will begin doubting his teacher during this field trip. He can be seen looking over at Hana as if he knew she was the one behind the traps. The Academy arc is nearing its end, meaning that Kawaki will possibly learn who the assassin is in Boruto episode 271.
What happened in the last episode?
Boruto episode 270 began with Hana being greeted back to the Academy by her students. Once classes were over for the day, the teacher began having visions of the assassin who tried to kill Kae. Strangely, in these visions, she was the one standing where the assassin should have been. She ran home in a panic and found a secret room containing the assassin’s disguise.
It was revealed that the woman developed a second personality when the Land of Bamboo’s minister forced her to become an assassin. Her dark half took control of their bodies and continued her mission to kill the princess. Hana tried to stop her but was prevented from doing so by the original Hana. The episode ended with Hana being chained up inside her own mind by her evil half.
