The recent chapter of the manga, shows that Naruto was dead. The entire Shinobi world believed him to be dead. However, it was revealed that Naruto is alive and perfectly well. Kawaki explained to Naruto that he was going to eliminate all the Ōtsutsukis in the world, including Boruto as he was a vessel for Momoshiki. He wanted to do that because he wanted to protect people and didn’t want Naruto’s life to be threatened anymore.
Kawaki knew that Naruto would never let anyone kill his son, and as a result, he sent Naruto and Hinata to an alternate dimension where time doesn’t flow, meaning they both will not age. He changed the facts and manipulated them and made it seem like Boruto killed his father.
Naruto is well and alive and is more than likely to return to the series. After a few years, after the concluding battle between Kawaki and Boruto, Naruto will return. Since time doesn’t flow in the dimension he was sent to, he wouldn’t have aged a day.
