About the Manga
BORUTO: Naruto Next Generations serves as the official sequel to Masashi Kishimoto's legendary Naruto manga. The story centers on Boruto Uzumaki, the spirited son of Seventh Hokage Naruto Uzumaki, who lives in a peaceful yet technologically evolving Hidden Leaf Village.
Unlike his father who fought desperately for recognition, Boruto grows up in the shadow of a hero and struggles to find his own identity. Alongside team members Sarada Uchiha and Mitsuki, he embarks on ninja missions while grappling with the expectations placed upon his generation.
The narrative shifts from localized ninja conflicts to complex international and celestial threats, notably the mysterious Karma mark and the formidable Otsutsuki clan. As scientific ninja tools alter the traditional combat landscape, Boruto must discern what true ninja strength really means.
Written by Ukyo Kodachi and later Masashi Kishimoto, with art by Mikio Ikemoto, the manga delivers dynamic battle action paired with deep familial dynamics. It bridges nostalgia for original series fans with fresh, forward-looking storytelling.
