In the epic continuation of the NarutoBoruto: Naruto Next Generations strikes a new dramatic chord with the introduction of the Kâma - a seal that resonates with the weight of an unexplored heritage. This mark of power that chose Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki as hosts isn't just about improved ninjutsu; it's the tenuous thread that connects our new generation to the menacing shadows of superhuman beings like Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. When Boruto faces Boro or Kawaki challenges Jigen, the Kâma activates, unveiling powers that challenge the very foundations of Konoha and its allies. Each activation is a new chapter, each battle a revelation, inviting us to explore the depths of a saga in which the Kâma, that mystical white flame, plays a central role. Discover in this article the essence of this new force that spreads like an indecipherable code, waiting to be activated to unleash its true potential.
Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto's son
Boruto Uzumaki is the main character in the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations series. He is the son of Naruto Uzumaki, the seventh Hokage of Konoha, and Hinata Hyûga, the descendant of the Hyûga clan. He has a younger sister, Himawari, and two mentors, Sasuke Uchiwa and Konohamaru Sarutobi. He is a member of Team 7, made up of Sarada Uchiwa, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter, Mitsuki, Orochimaru's artificial son, and Konohamaru, their leader. Boruto is a talented ninja, mastering ninjutsu, taijutsu, kenjutsu and fûinjutsu. He also possesses a special dojutsu, Jougan, which enables him to see chakra flows and parallel dimensions. Boruto is a brave, loyal, generous and curious boy, but also arrogant, reckless, rebellious and temperamental. Boruto's dream is to become a ninja like Sasuke, traveling the world to protect Konoha from the shadows.
Boruto Kâma, Momoshiki's seal
Boruto Kâma is the name of the seal Boruto received from Momoshiki Ôtsutsuki, a member of the Ôtsutsuki clan, a race of extraterrestrials who roam the universe in search of divine fruits, sources of chakra that grow on planets. Momoshiki came to Earth with his partner Kinshiki, with the aim of seizing Naruto's chakra, which contains the power of the Nine Tailed Demons. But he was defeated by Naruto, Sasuke and Boruto. Before dying, Momoshiki passed on his Kâma to Boruto, telling him that he had great potential, but was doomed to lose everything. Boruto's Kâma appeared as a black diamond on his right palm. It's a mark that contains Momoshiki's DNA and consciousness, allowing him to reincarnate into Boruto's body. Boruto's Kâma gives him superhuman abilities, such as increased strength, speed, resistance, regeneration and chakra mastery. It also enables him to absorb and return ninjutsu, create dimensional portals and synchronize with other Kâma carriers. However, Boruto's Kâma also has drawbacks, such as the fact that it consumes his chakra, makes him vulnerable to Momoshiki's influence, who can take control of his body, and gradually transforms him into an Ôtsutsuki.
The link between Boruto and Kawaki
Kawaki also possesses a Kama, that of Isshiki Otsutsuki, transferred by Jigen. Boruto and Kawaki are linked by the Kâma, which enables them to understand and support each other. They met when Kawaki was saved by Naruto, who brought him back to Konoha and took him under his protection. Boruto was initially suspicious and hostile towards Kawaki, whom he considered an enemy and a rival. But he eventually grew close to him, discovering his tragic past and sharing his desire to free himself from the Kâma. Boruto and Kawaki learned to master the Kâma together, training with Naruto and Sasuke. They also fought together against members of Kara, who sought to recover Kawaki and hand him over to Jigen. Boruto and Kawaki developed a deep and sincere friendship, which led them to consider each other as brothers. They vowed to get rid of the Kâma and protect Konoha. However, their bond is also a source of danger, as it exposes them to the threat of the Ôtsutsuki, who want to use them as receptacles.
The Kâma leads them to clash in the future, as shown in the flash-forward to the first episode of the anime, where Boruto and Kawaki fight on the ruins of Konoha, with evolved Kâma and enhanced powers.
