Summary

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.

Key Events

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.
