Episode 197 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations threads quiet family moments with Kara's scheming, as the impatient Delta breaks from the plan and flies into Konoha to seize Kawaki for herself.
Kawaki tries to repair the vase he broke, and though Himawari is content with the replacement he bought and thanks him, he keeps working at the glue. Watching through his toad, Koji plots his next move. At the Kara hideout, Code presses Amado about Jigen, learning only that he is recovering and wishes to be left alone. Amado admits he is combing Kawaki's file for signs a traitor accessed it and voices unease at Jigen's oddly detached attitude toward the Vessel, while Code insists Jigen remains fixated on the boy.
Amado tells Code that Delta is already handling Koji, and a furious Delta launches her spy drone, which carries no chakra and so escapes detection. Despite their friction, Boruto agrees to help Kawaki understand his Kāma, and the two spar under Naruto's watch until Naruto has them perform the Seal of Reconciliation. Both feel a sharp pain in their hands, Boruto glimpses Momoshiki, and Koji, seeing Boruto's hand heal through his toad, begins to speculate about it.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
Delta locates Kawaki through her drone and decides to collect him personally, using the jets built into her legs to streak over the village. The Konoha Barrier Team detects her and Ino alerts Naruto, who warns the children to flee, but Delta touches down before they can. The episode adapts chapter 30, belongs to the Kawaki arc, and pairs the opening BAKU with the ending Sign That You Were There.
