Naruto does not die in Boruto ; he is sealed away by Kawaki in a separate dimension, while Hinata is sealed with him. Later, Naruto also loses Kurama after using Baryon Mode against Isshiki, which makes him much weaker than before.

Quick scoop

  • He is still alive. The story’s biggest twist is that Kawaki hides Naruto and Hinata instead of killing them.
  • He loses Kurama. Naruto uses Baryon Mode in a desperate fight, and Kurama dies as a result.
  • He becomes sidelined. After that, the plot shifts more toward Boruto, Kawaki, and the new generation.

What this means

Naruto’s role in Boruto is more about loss, protection, and being removed from the board than about a simple death arc. If you want, I can also give you a spoiler-free version or a full timeline of Naruto’s Boruto story.
