Boruto chapter 37 throws Naruto and Sasuke together against Jigen in an empty world. As the two legends probe their opponent's shrinking, absorbing power, Jigen reveals a horn of his own, warning that their early luck has run out.
Main Characters (7)
Summary
Before the fight can start, Kawaki offers to surrender if Jigen leaves Naruto alone, insisting the boy that Delta could not match this new threat. Jigen accepts, but Naruto refuses, declaring it his duty as Hokage to protect every soul in the village, Kawaki included. Finding no room to bargain, Jigen opens a portal and drags Naruto into a barren dimension, meaning to abandon him there. Sasuke bursts in with a kick that sends Jigen tumbling, glad the empty space lets them fight without restraint.
Key Events
Back home, Sarada discovers blood-stained rods in the garden and Kawaki sitting alone, while Boruto's Kāma quietly fades. In the other world, Jigen soaks up one of Naruto's Rasengan, and rods sprout across Naruto's arm as he barely turns aside a kick. Sasuke splits the two apart, trades sword strikes, and takes several rods in return. Naruto's shadow clones are picked off as Jigen blinks in and out of reach. Studying him, Sasuke works out that the man shrinks and grows both objects and himself, and cautions that this is not his only trick. Jigen marks Sasuke as the deadlier of the pair and resolves to remove him first.

Notes
Jigen presses the attack, though Naruto blocks a rod barrage with a broader Rasengan. When Jigen shrinks to slip through their strikes, Sasuke pinpoints him for Naruto's Big Ball Rasengan; the absorbed energy hampers Jigen enough for Sasuke to land a hit. Jigen escapes by teleporting, thanks them for exposing his weaknesses, and grows a horn from his Kāma, promising no more good fortune. This is the 37th Boruto chapter, part of the Kawaki Arc in volume 10.
