It seems that Naruto dies in the new Boruto manga.
Spoilers said:Cover Spread (chara from L to R) Kawaki, Papasuke, Inojin, Chou-Chou, Shikadai, Moegi, Paparuto Sarada, Mitsuki, and Boruto (who's starting a rasengan) are running out of the panel. ÒÇîþóºÒüìþ£╝Òü½Þ╝ØÒüìÕ«┐ÒüùÒÇüµû░ÒüƒÒü¬µÖéõ╗úÒéÆÚºåÒüæµè£ÒüæÒéï´╝ü´╝ü´╝üÒÇì A radiant inheritance within his blue eyes... he's running through a new era!!
Page 1 Splash Text: ÒÇîÕ┤®ÕúèÒüùÒüƒþü½Õ¢▒Õ▓®ÒüºÕ»¥Õ│ÖÒüÖÒéï´╝Æõ║║――´╝ü´╝üÒÇì "The confrontation of these two people at the crumbling Hokage Monument....!!" Older Boruto: ÒÇî…ÒüôÒüôÒü¥ÒüºÒéäÒéïÒü¿Òü»Òü¬…Òé½Òâ»Òé¡…´╝üÒÇì "...So you went this far, eh...Kawaki...!"
Older Kawaki: ÒÇîÒüèÕëìÒééõ©âõ╗úþø«Òü¿ÕÉîÒüÿµëÇÒü©ÚÇüÒüúÒüªÒéäÒéïÒéê…Òâ£Òâ½ÒâêÒÇì "I'll even send you off to the same place as the Nanadaime Hokage...Boruto"
[T/N: ÚÇüÒüúÒüªÒéäÒéï Can also mean 'to bury' (ie. an alternate translation for this line could be like, 'You will also be buried at the same site as the Nanadaime Hokage'). Kawaki is lightly implying that he's going to kill Boruto, in other words. So there is some implication that either Naruto is dead, or in near-death offscreen. The wording is unlikely to mean he's just off somewhere else]
Page 2 Older Boruto: ÒÇî…ÒüôÒüåÒü¬ÒéïÒüùÒüïÒü¬ÒüïÒüúÒüƒÒü«Òüï…ÒÇì "...So there's no other choice but to do it this way, eh?..." [Boruto has scar on his right eye, kinda like Kakashi]
Older Kawaki: ÒÇîÒüØÒüåÒüá.ÒÇì "That's right...." [Older Kawaki clenches his fist, and the tattoo down the left side of his body changes from black to red. Kinda looks like a minimalistic Shinju (/God Tree) pattern with fruit+leaves)
Older Kawaki: ÒÇîÕ┐ìÒü«µÖéõ╗úÒü»þÁéÒéÅÒéïÒÇì "It's the end for the era of shinobi." [Scene pans to Konohagakure carnage. The new buildings, Hokage office, etc. completely wrecked]
Older Boruto: "..." "...." [Grabbing Papasuke's(?) hitai-ate from the wall]
Older Boruto: ÒÇîÒüáÒü¿ÒüùÒüªÒéé…ÒÇì "Even if that's the case..." [Boruto puts back on his/Papasuke's hitai-ate, the cut on it matches up with his right eye now. His matching tattoo on his right side turns blue]
Page 3 Older Boruto: ÒÇî…Òé¬Òâ¼Òü»ÒÇì "I am...."
Older Kawaki: "!" "!" [Boruto opens his right eye...no pupil/Byakugan-ish] Older Boruto: ÒÇîÕ┐ìÞÇàÒüáÒÇì "...a ninja"
[Older Boruto and Older Kawaki the clash!!]
