At that very moment, Kawaki finds the will to use the power of his Karma again, remade into a new form that's purely a weapon!

As a result, Boruto manages to wrestle back control of his body.

However, the pair of brothers determine that Momoshiki's power is impossible to control, and so they play their final card—Kawaki ends both Momoshiki and Boruto's lives with his own hand.
Boruto loses his life, but Momoshiki revives him.
As a consequence of this, Momoshiki is no longer able to reincarnate using Boruto as a vessel...and Boruto himself becomes a complete Otsutsuki!

Superhuman "Shinjutsu" Reverses the Brothers' Positions!!!
While living with Boruto, Kawaki catches on to Momoshiki's presence and returns to the Uzumaki house after making a certain resolution.
Kawaki swears to "root out" every last one of the Otsutsuki.
Naturally, this includes Boruto, who houses Momoshiki within him.
Hearing that Kawaki means to kill their son, Naruto and Hinata vehemently oppose the idea, but Kawaki seals them in an alternate dimension before they can interfere.
