RELATED: Boruto Proves Naruto and Kurama Never Fixed Their BIGGEST Problem His destiny seems to be decided at this point, and Naruto is just trying to outlive him. Unfortunately for Naruto, Isshiki is able to trace Kawaki via the prosthetic arm given to him that functions by receiving a constant flow of Naruto’s chakra. Isshiki’s scarce life span of 20 hours shortens to 30 minutes and continues to drop as the battle continues. Baryon Mode is able to affect the chakra of those it comes in contact with, therefore, Isshiki also begins to lose his own life span. Without hesitation, Isshiki starts his counterattack against Naruto as he suffers from exhaustion, but Kurama has another trick up his sleeve. Isshiki is caught off-guard by Baryon Mode but quickly discovers its negative effects. Baryon Mode is a double-edged sword, and Naruto doesn’t have a plan for how to deal with its devastating flaws.
Baryon Mode is an extreme act of desperation, even for Naruto, but their combined efforts are able to stop Isshiki in his tracks. Kurama urges Naruto to not waste any time, and avoid any unnecessary fighting tactics. This enhances their abilities immensely, it depletes their lifespan and the form will end when one or both of them dies. Baryon Mode is compared to nuclear fusion, in which Naruto and Kurama’s chakra is now being consumed to create a new form of power, as opposed to absorbing it from the environment around them.
