Kurama's been with Naruto for his entire life so far, and now Naruto's going to be missing such a huge part of himself going forward into the unknown for the rest of the franchise. Naruto and Kurama's bond characterized the entire first series as they grew closer with one another over time, and the newest episode of Boruto reflects this as the two of them spend their last moments together by looking back on just how far the two of them have come. Kurama's death is a huge game changer for the series, and it's why Boruto even decides to pull from Naruto's anime for such a massive passing.

What a way to bid farewell to kurama, a legacy defining moment. The anime has truly done justice to this scene. To memorialize Naruto and Kurama's bond, the ending theme had been adjusted to reveal quite the emotional flashback of their time together. This also meant that he and Naruto had to say goodbye to one another as he passed on with no longer any chakra allowing him to keep his form together. 15 years ago, Naruto Shippuden premiered, returning fans to the titular Uzumaki and his quest to become Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto had agreed assuming that it was his own life he was burning away in the process, but it's revealed in the newest episode that it was actually Kurama's chakra that had been completely faded. In order to stand a chance against Isshiki, Naruto and Kurama needed to push beyond their limits and use a new form that Kurama had revealed was going to burn through their chakra at the cost of their time together.
