In the already-released preview, we can see Boruto, Sarada, and Kawaki discussing different ways to help their village from Code. Code being in Konoha worries them as they don’t know what he might do. Meanwhile, Eida and Code are seen bickering in a scene. Code feels he is disrespected by Eida when she is cold towards him. He feels upset that despite being so powerful, he cannot kill Eida. We see Bug warning Code not to attack Eida as she is capable of much power.
