The latest chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generation manga - Chapter 35: It's Up To You has been released on June 10. It does not only blows the mystery of the Kara villain group wide open, but also reveals that while Kara's intended vessel, Kawaki is still learning ninjutsu in the Hidden Leaf and the lessons of Naruto's life, the Hokage's inner circle is still busy trying to determine just how big of the thread Kara is.
Well, the latest chapter of Boruto has finally reveals Kara's leader, Jigen. Although we have met him is the previous chapters, but have not yet seen the villain in his true form... until now.
Spoilers below, proceed on your own risk!
When Naruto's inner-circle learns of coordinates to a mysterious Kara base location from the intel Konohamaru obtained, it's discovered that the site can only be accessed using space-time ninjutsu. It then falls to Sasuke to use his space-time jutsu to infiltrate the base and do recon - and its during that spy mission that the famed shinobi makes a startling discovery, which ties Kara's leader Jigen to an even bigger threat from the Naruto saga.
As it turns out, the Kara base that Sasuke finds is actually more like memorial site dedicated to the Otsutsuki Clan and its members. Specifically, the site contains alters that have holographic projections of the various Otsutsuki Clan members, and shows them to always be functioning in pairs. Now remember that in the beginning of the manga or anime, Kinshiki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki appear together? But when Sasuke gets to alter with the projection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he makes a startling discovery: Kaguya didn't just arrive on Earth alone - she was also one of a pair!
With that dreaded pondering, Sasuke gets a first look at the projection of another Otsutsuki - a male figure we have never seen before. Soon after, a portal opens and the Kara's leader, Jigen steps out from it. Not knowing that Sasuke is watching, Jigen comes to collect chakra from a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki that we have never seen before that is trapped in the facility. During that extraction, it is then revealed that Jigen is the mysterious Otsutsuki figure that was apparently Kaguya's partner!
This revelation is the biggest one that Boruto has dropped so far. So it means that Jigen came to Earth along with Kaguya during the fourth Shinobi Wars few years ago. We already know the threat Kaguya posed to the Shinobi world, and the dark future Boruto will face as a teenager, the question is what will happen to Kawaki and the battle with Kara.
