Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
Years after the Fourth Great Ninja War, the Hidden Leaf Village enjoys a peaceful era of towering buildings, advanced technology, and ninja missions that feel more like routine work than life-or-death battles. Boruto Uzumaki, the son of the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, grows up in the shadow of his famous father, who is so busy running the village that he's rarely home. Eager to prove himself on his own terms, Boruto plays pranks, takes on challenges, and refuses to rely on his family name, all while training with his teammates Sarada and Mitsuki under their sensei, Konohamaru. But the calm doesn't last, as a mysterious threat emerges, and Boruto's search for his own identity becomes tangled up with the new dangers facing the world his parents once fought to protect. It's a story about growing up, finding your own strength, and the bonds with friends and family that help you along the way.
