With the latest episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Isshiki Otsutsuki’s unexpected Hidden Leaf Village invasion began!
The anime’s most recent episodes have been very dramatic, as it was revealed that the danger was far bigger in scale than anybody could have anticipated when Amado and Kashin Koji carried out their covert plot against Jigen.
Naruto and the Hidden Leaf Village had been prepared to battle Jigen and the Kara members. Still, the previous episode showed that they needed to prepare instead for a new Otsutsuki danger.
Isshiki begins invasion
In the previous episode, Kashin Koji defeated Jigen and killed him, but in doing so, he forced Isshiki Otsutsuki into that body’s Karma. Not only did it become apparent right away that Isshiki was much more strong than Koji could handle on his own, but this Otsutsuki was also on a timer and heading directly for Kawaki.
This comes to a head in the latest episode of the series, which sees Isshiki utilize his warping power to attack the Hidden Leaf Village to recapture Kawaki and exploit his body’s Karma once again.
Isshiki Otsutsuki makes his way into the Hidden Leaf Village in episode 215 of the series. Shikamaru and the others must rapidly plan an evacuation and counter-strategy against the strong adversary.

The great villain hunting for Kawaki
The anime focuses on this first invasion more than the manga’s account of events and how Konohamaru, Rock Lee, Tenten, Choji, and Kiba tried to halt Isshiki before he could do so it any serious harm. However, as we can see, their cooperation is insufficient.
Isshiki not only kills them all with a single assault, but since his body is running out of time, he is much more active in his hunt for Kawaki to implant him with another Karma.
Thankfully, Naruto and Sasuke arrive just in time to end the invasion the time being. However, Isshiki will have to battle for a long time before he is totally beaten.
In Boruto’s latest episode, Isshiki Otsutsuki invaded the Hidden Leaf. What did you think? Are you curious as to where the battle against this adversary will go next?
