3. Episode 196 Recap

Koji enters the Hidden Leaf Village with a summoned toad, undetected by the sensory unit, monitored by the Yamanaka clan. He leaves Delta behind, and she is not happy with Koji’s decision.

In the Uzumaki house, Kawaki thinks about the glue and broken vase while Boruto plays video games. Later, Sarada and Mitsuki come to pay a visit.

Mitsuki unintentionally reveals that they came to spy on Kawaki, as was decided by Sarada. This makes Sarada feel embarrassed.

Mitsuki introduces himself to Kawaki and forwards his hand. But Kawaki refuses to shake hands with strangers, which impresses Mitsuki as it was a trap set by him.

Naruto asks Boruto to come with him for some shinobi hand-to-hand combat. Himawari, Sarada, Mitsuki, and Kawaki also join them as spectators. Kawaki asks Boruto to use his Karma, to which Boruto replies that he cannot use it at his own will.

So, Kawaki activates his Karma, to which Boruto’s Karma also reacts and gets activated. Boruto becomes more robust and starts fighting more aggressively with Naruto, using his faster than before moves, but still loses to Naruto.

They end the match with a unison sign. Inspired by Boruto and Kawaki, Sarada asks Sasuke for Chidori training back at home.

Kawaki remembers how Jigen used to beat him while training. Jigen told him that nothing will ever fill the broken vessel inside him.

But after realizing how nicely Naruto and others at Hidden leaf village are treating him, he decides to fix the broken vase with glue given to him by Boruto. Just then, Koji’s toad finds him, while Koji is watching all this waiting at a forsaken tower.
