Naruto has been a character so goated that he is also playing a major role in Boruto: Next Generations. After achieving his dream of becoming the Hokage, Naruto has been seen managing the peace between all the nations in the ongoing anime. However, a lot of rumours around the show told us that the goated character is dead. To debunk all that stuff - No, Naruto is not dead, and there is no proof of the same happening in any reality of universe. Moving forward, let's have a look at the reasons behind the same and how things are going to work out in the future for our Hokage.
Naruto is not dead until now - That's the only fact here
Boruto is messed up as a show, and there have been a lot of instances that show us why. And one of the reasons is the story-building around Naruto. So, according to the anime, Naruto and his wife Hinata have been sealed away in a different dimension by Kawaki with the help of Daikokuten - a technique that is not every shinobi's cup of tea. And the reason behind Kawaki doing this is that he wanted to protect both Naruto and Hinata from the ongoing war against the Otsutsukis.
Now, people think Naruto is dead because of zero screen time and mentions of the character in the show moving forward. Furthermore, the antagonist Eida from Boruto recreated the reality and altered the memory of the masses. Now, people believe that Boruto is the villain in the story, and Naruto's real son is Kawaki.
However, Boruto remembers everything, and he is on a mission, as we all know. The main reason behind the story flipping this way could be that with Naruto on screen, no one is going to give attention to any other characters. Speculations are that we will get to see Naruto in the near future when Boruto anime will be reaching its end.
