Boruto: two blue vortices has introduced a new version of the world of Boruto three years after the events of Boruto: Naruto Next Generationsand Boruto has been training during all that time to become strong enough to defeat Code and Kawaki. But after the time jump, an even greater enemy has begun to emerge, as the Divine Trees now have to be dealt with first.

It’s something that Boruto and Kawaki discuss when they first meet outside of Konoha and talk about their current situation.. While Boruto reveals why he has yet to try to tell the others that Kawaki used Eida’s power to change history, it also explains why he is trying to avoid using Karma as much as he did as a child. Because when he uses it now, he’s closer than ever to completely losing control to Momoshiki. It’s just not worth the temporary power boost.

Kawaki noticed how Boruto was seemingly unable to control his Karma power. when Kawaki began to resonate with his own, and asked about this in Chapter 15 of the series. Kawaki questions why Boruto can’t seem to control his Karma, and Boruto reveals that he actually tried to use that power in a fight that occurred outside the Hidden Leaf Village during the three skipped years. And he felt completely possessed by Momoshiki at that moment.

Boruto explains it as a feeling in which he stopped being who he was and even began to die while still being conscious and attentive to his surroundings. Since this fight, Boruto has not used Karma.
