Boruto Chapter 68: Shikamaru Is The Traitor! Release Date & Plot

It is that time of the month again when we start making theories about the fate of all the characters we root for in Boruto. That is right, Boruto Chapter 68 is lined up for a release this week. There are many questions that the last chapter left for us. One of the biggest mysteries that fans are talking about on Reddit and Twitter is about Shikamaru. The theory suggests that Shikamaru might be working for Code the entire. How much truth is there in this theory? Here is all you need to know about the chapter.

The next one will give us a chase sequence. Code has managed to escape the plan and run away from the Hidden Leaf Village. But even in order to do so, he would have needed some help. Thus, all fingers raise on Shikamaru. Lastly, the next chapter will also feature Boruto’s dialogue with Momoshiki.

Boruto Chapter 68: What Will Happen Next?

The forthcoming chapter of Boruto is most likely, to begin with, a chase sequence. While all the conversations were going on, Code decided to slip away. The entire time in the fight made him realize that he might not get what he had come for. Thus, escaping was the only way left. Plus, fighting the best warriors of the Hidden Leaf Village was something that Code could not bear on his own. Now, Naruto is going to chase him to his doom. Further, the previous chapter left a subtle hint about Shikimaru’s involvement in the whole thing.

When Eida came to question Amado about Code’s situation, the next panel just cut to Shikamaru. This points out that the two of them might be behind the entire raid. Boruto Chapter 68 will give us the answer to whether Shikamaru was working for Code all this while.

Previous Chapter Recap!

Chapter 67 of Boruto opened with Naruto running straight for his son. Here, Code could not figure out how Kawaki had managed to get back his karma after his attack. In a head-on attack, even Code’s claw was shrunk by Kawaki’s Sukunahikona. Meanwhile, Shikamaru went for Naruto to check what had happened to Boruto. Kawaki tells Code that he does not even know his purpose. Thus, without a doubt, they would get the same treatment as the people who came to hurt Lord Hokage.

Kawaki used the same technique to get Daemon into the battlefield. Here, Shikamaru warned Naruto that having Kawak around was not safe for them. Even if he could fight Code on his own, he still remained a threat. The climactic part of the chapter dealt with the internal dialogue between Boruto and Monoshiki. In the end, Code had managed to escape the place, leaving everyone stranded.
