Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (Japanese: BORUTO-ボルト- NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS?) is a Japanese manga series written by Ukyō Kodachi and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto. Serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, Boruto is a spin-off and the sequel of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto and follows the exploits of Naruto Uzumaki's son Boruto Uzumaki and his ninja team. An anime television series adaptation started airing on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2017.
Years later after the Fourth Great Ninja War, now overseeing a new generation in the Ninja World, Naruto Uzumaki achieves his dream of becoming the Seventh Hokage, after he and Hinata Hyuga married. They have two children: Boruto and Himawari. Boruto has become part of a ninja team led by Naruto's protege Konohamaru Sarutobi, which also consists of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno's daughter Sarada Uchiha and Orochimaru's artificial son Mitsuki. Feeling that Naruto is placing his duties over his family, Boruto becomes upset at him for missing Himawari's birthday. Boruto meets Sasuke, when he returns to the village to warn Naruto about the impending threat. Boruto manages to convince Sasuke to teach the Rasengan to him for the upcoming Chunin Exam. Boruto's bad action drives him to cheat the exam with Katasuke's inventing device called the Kote, only for Naruto to disqualify Boruto during the match with Shikadai Nara, Shikamaru and Temari's son. The two have an argument until Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, the figures Sasuke warned Naruto of, appear and abduct Naruto, so they can use Kurama to revitalize the dying Shinju from the dimension which they came from.
