Koji Kashin will try to infiltrate the Hidden Leaf Village to find Kawaki in Boruto Episode 196. But as Naruto can sense an unregistered chakra in the town, can the antagonist fulfill his mission?

Titled "A Binding Force," Boruto Episode 196's title seems to suggest Kojin will find Kawaki. However, knowing he stays with the Uzumaki family, Naruto and Boruto will surely not let the Jiraiya clone gets Kawaki without a fight.

Ino has set up sensory units that will help them tell if someone has entered their village. This will help Naruto to know that Koji is already in their area.

According to Epic Dope, Kawaki's Karma seal serves as a "binding force" between the members of the Kara organization. So, Koji may find a way to see his whereabouts.

This may result in a battle between Naruto and Koji as the initial wants to help the young boy be out of Kara. In the new episode preview, the Shinobi will be training Boruto with Kawaki while Himawari watches them. Kawaki, on the other hand, may help Boruto train with his Karma.

However, they will notice a toad is watching them in the distance, which will make them doubt its real identity. Is this toad a spy and in the area to look for Kawaki in Boruto Episode 196? Who has summoned this toad?

Boruto Episode 195 showed the bond Naruto and Kawaki shared. Naruto showed the Kara vessel around the area and visited Taiyaki stall, The Cinemaholic noted.

Here, they saw Cho-Cho and Sarada, so Naruto bought treats for all of them. It was Kawaki's first Taiyaki, and he seemed to enjoy it fully.

They then headed to Ino's flower shop with Sarada when Kawaki bumped into a boy. The event quickly activated his power, so Naruto stepped in to stop it.

Kawaki's traumatic experiences resurfaced, so Naruto tried his best to calm him down. Sarada then left, and Naruto and Kawaki finished their day with bowls of ramen.

When they arrived home, Kawaki handed Himawari the new vase they bought to replace the one he broke. However, when Boruto saw it, he returned the new vase and gave Kawaki a glue stick.

He said that if his apology was sincere, he should show it by sticking the broken vase together. The previous episode ended with Koji successfully entering the village to look for Kawaki.
