Boruto The Seventh Hokage, focusing on the next generation of ninjas in an era of peace founded by Naruto Uzumaki, has proven itself to be quite an exciting story. During this period, both Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto introduced several powerful characters, and one of them is a clone of the legendary sannin, Jiraiya. This clone is none other than Kashin Koji.
While Boruto is notorious for not honoring the legacy of characters from the predecessor series, Jiraiya is a character that it fully honors by presenting a carbon copy in the story, who fights for good and does all he can to save the world. On September 4, 2017, the character quickly became a fan favorite after officially debuting in Boruto chapter 15 in Shuisha's Weekly Shonen Jump issue #38. Now, 9 years after his official debut, he has met his official end in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35 on June 18, 2026.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35 Officially Confirms Kashin Koji's Deactivation By Amado
Kashin Koji is an incredibly important character who previously accompanied Kara Inners. As confirmed in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Chapter 46 on May 20, 2020, Kashin Koji was created by Amado, sticking to Jiraiya's legacy as a legendary sannin. As such, using his DNA, he created Kashin Koji and initially programmed him to be used as a tool to stop Ishiki Otsutsuki. Kashin Koji was initially supposed to die in the fight against Jigen so that Naruto and Sasuke could take him down later, he clings to life and survives the fight. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, Kashin Koji played an important role by helping to power up and train Boruto Uzumaki using the power of his Prescience ability.
“The skills and jutsu you will use in the future, I can teach you. You can improve your training and make it more effective.” — Kashin Koji helps Boruto become stronger, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #4
Kashin Koji trained Boruto He is as strong as he is today, and it is thanks to him that many outcomes of the world were changed from absolute evil on many occasions. While Koji's methods have proven questionable in various instances, such as his attempt to kill Kobu in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 31, he is still fighting the good fight. Unfortunately, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35 was released on June 18, 2026, officially confirming his inactivity. After realizing the extremely dangerous power Kashin Koji wielded and wielded, Amado made Kawaki close to him and then permanently disabled it.
Amado is the one who created and modified the body of the vast majority of black inners. In Kashin Koji's case, he created him from scratch, and like Delta, he put in a fail-safe code that completely disables the body. This code was used by Amado through Toad in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 35, and it caused the official inactivation of the legendary Sannin Jiraiya's clone, putting him into a sound sleep after 9 long years of service in the story.
Amado: Cul de Sac, Kashin Koji!
Kawaki: Did you order him too? Mad scientist!
Amado: I'll take him to my lab using the summoning technique. Touch Todd if you don't want to be stuck here.

Amado could potentially steal Koji's prescience ability
While Kashin Koji has officially been deactivated, that certainly doesn't mean he won't be playing a role in the series from here on out. For starters, Kashin Koji was deactivated by Amado due to his prescience ability, which was only awakened after Boruto was defeated by Jigen in chapter #46. Amado captured Kashin Koji's prescience ability in the Mamushi arc, most notably in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 33, which was released in V-Jump Issue #6 on April 20, 2026. It is clear that Amado wants to use this ability for himself, as he is able to see Shinjib's power. Aim for the future yourself and the best outcome as a result across multiple timelines.
Amado, who wants to revive his daughter Akebi using Otsutsuki Karma, would definitely love to get his hands on this ability to see how each future unfolds and how his daughter might return. To that end, he used Kawaki to gain access to Kashin Koji's body and now he will use the same method he did with Shibai to harvest the Shinjutsu and transplant it into someone else, possibly even Kawaki himself, to make Kawaki even stronger by allowing him to instantly switch between offense and defense in battle.
Why Kashin Koji has a big role in Boruto: The Two Blue Vortex
Kashin Koji may be inactive for now, but he's back Boruto: Two Blue Vortexes There is still a strong possibility. This is because Kashin Koji has yet to complete his character arc, which directly connects him to Konoha and Naruto Uzumaki. When Naruto first saw the battle between Koji and Jigen in Boruto: Naruto Next Generation Chapter 46, which was released on June 20, 2026. v-jump Issue #8, he felt uncomfortable and wanted this person safe and away from harm. So far, up to this point, Naruto still doesn't understand that Koji is a clone of Jiraiya, his own master. A meeting between these two characters is sure to happen at some point in the series. It is precisely for this reason, as well as Koji's own personal arc, that he must return to the future, even though his precognition ability was cut from him by Amado.
“I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling that he was really fighting Isshiki to take him down. You made him understand that, didn't you? That this was a one-way ticket to life after the mission? I can't really understand why I'm worried about him.” — Naruto Uzumaki shows concern for Jiraiya's clone, Kashin Koji, Boruto Chapter #47
Koji's return is essential to one of Boruto's most important plot points: the Two Blue Vortex conclusion. That said, at the end of the Boruto series, Kashin Koji is also very likely to meet his end, just as Jiraiya did in the original Naruto series in Chapter 382 in Shuisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #3 on January 15, 2008. Koji is a shinobi who is here to protect the future of this world and fight the threat of Otsutsuki and Shinju. After this is done, he can officially retire and say goodbye to all of us fans. Until then, even though he has been deactivated, he still has a role to play, and we eagerly await his possible return in the future.
