It's real: Kishimoto confirms the death of one of the Uzumaki family in Boruto

Ikemoto will take a darker approach in the new anime
Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes it's just the beginning when it comes to fighting the main villains. Even though the manga has been running for about two years now, fans know that this story still has a lot to offer in terms of writing, exciting fights, and of course, deaths.
The first part of the Boruto manga was quite lightas needed. As fans know, Boruto Part 1 focused on the life of Boruto Uzumaki and all his friends when they were still children. While it certainly had its dark moments, fans really couldn't expect it to be as dark as Two Blue Vortex simply because of the age of the characters involved. About three years have passed since then, and Boruto Uzumaki and all his friends are now on the threshold of adulthood. Now author Ikemoto can really introduce dark plots without being limited by Jump in any way. In that sense, fans are expecting Two Blue Vortex to be much darker than the first Boruto installment, and it's already starting to show.
Let's create a future together where Himawari and Eida don't have to die. — Kashin Koji
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex already has a lot of deaths coming upand the latest chapter certainly contributed greatly to that. As fans know right now, Konoha is in great danger as Mamushi continues to divide the village and cause all sorts of problems for the shinobi. More than that, the Fire Nation Daimyo is currently causing problems for the Hokage as well. It is this particular individual named Kobu who could potentially die very soon, and it will certainly be a tragic death.
Boruto sets up the Death of Kobu in the latest chapter

Kashin Koji orchestrated Kobu's death
Kobu is the mouthpiece of the Daimyo of the Fire Nationand as such, even the Hokage is answerable to him, as has been clearly pointed out over the last few chapters. Kobu seems to suspect someone of working with Boruto Uzumaki, who they consider to be the great enemy of Konoha and the ninja world as a whole. Kobu knows that several Konoha Shinobi are involved in this plot and also suspects the Hokage of the village. for this reason Kobu must be dealt with one way or another, and Kashin Koji, who directs the battle against Shinju, recognizes this..
Now, Inojin, I want you to jump and kill Koba. No one will suspect. He is our enemy right now. — Kashin Koji
It's time to welcome Boruto's new legendary ninja even stronger than Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto is strong but this ninja from Boruto has already surpassed him.
In a recent chapter of the Boruto manga, fans saw Kashin Koji forcing Inojin to use the Mind-Body Transfer Jutsu on Koba and then asking him to go to the top of the Hokage building. Afterwards, Inojin was asked to commit suicide with Kobu, essentially killing him. Of course, Inojin didn't want to kill Koba at any cost because it would be too far for him, as it would make him a murderer.
While fans assumed that Kobu's life would be spared due to Inojin's reluctance to do what Koji wanted him to do, the fact is that the Toad Goji then attacked Shinju Mamushi. Now, Mamushi is on Kobu's tail, and it's only a matter of time before he deals with this particular powerful individual from the Land of Fire.
Kobu's death is very likely to happen
It is highly likely that Kobu will die in Boruto: Two Blue Vertex Chapter 31, and this death will have huge ramifications for Tierra del Fuego as a whole. Kobu's death could essentially pit the Fire Nation Daimyo against Konoha, and that would put the village in a very precarious situation. On the other hand, Shikamaru has a nimble hand, so he could make some kind of accident out of it. Regardless, the very fate of Konoha hangs in the balance if Kobu is to die, and that is truly terrifying to imagine.
While Kobu is certainly one character to fall here, he most likely won't be the only one. The fact is, there are other deaths that Ikemoto and Kishimoto have already teased in this Boruto arcand they will have massive impacts on what is to come in the future.
Eida and Daemon could also die
quite easily the biggest deaths Kishimoto set up for the future are Eida, Daemon, and Himawari Uzumaki. As fans know, these are the characters that will die in the future, and that has already been confirmed. Now Kishimoto and Ikemoto are trying to get the main characters to figure out a way to avoid these deaths.
Eida is basically killed and absorbed by Mamushiwhich would either force his evolution or give rise to a new Shinju that could possibly destroy the entire world. Himawari seems to be killed by Jura and fans don't know under what circumstances it will happen, but it would surely be a huge blow to the fans. Quite clearly, this Boruto arc is set up to be dark, and the future of the series looks very bleak as well.
Fans will see Boruto Uzumaki, Kawaki, and everyone else going down dark paths, and that's part of what makes this story exciting. Hopefully the plot points will be written well and the arcs will work as Boruto continues.
