Years have passed since Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to defeat Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra and the greatest threat the ninja world has ever faced. Times are now peaceful and the new generation of shinobi has not experienced the same hardships as its parents. Perhaps that is why Boruto would rather play video games than train. However, one passion does burn deep in this ninja boy’s heart, and that is the desire to defeat his father.
The opening manga arc is an adaptation of Boruto: Naruto the Movie and the one-shot Naruto Gaiden: The Road Illuminated by the Full Moon is collected in Vol 1.
Many anime episodes adapt light novels or extend the varied source material.
Ukyou Kodachi stopped writing the manga after Vol 13.
