Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (BORUTO-ボルト- NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS)

The age of shinobi is over...

I can’t believe you went this far, Kawaki.

I’m going to send you to the same place I sent the Seventh Hokage, Boruto.

Guess this was the only possible outcome...

That’s right.

The age of shinobi is over!

Even so...

I’m still...

...a shinobi!

This story begins several years earlier...

Hey!

Wait up, Boruto!

Is it really that bad?!

Yeah, it’s bad. It’s really bad.

What kept you so long, Lord Hokage? You don’t have much time left at this point.

It’s tomorrow, huh...?

Please hurry...

...or won’t be done by the enterance ceremony.

Guess I’m gonna be here all night again.

I barely made it!

The limited edition green chili burger!

It’s the last day they’re serving it!

Why do I keep hanging out with you?

You don’t want yours?

I didn’t say that.

Mmm!

Spicy!

What is in this?!

So good right?

I don’t believe this. You know you’re impossible...

I gotta say, this train is really convenient.

I hardly have to walk at all, now that we’ve got this.

Yeah, the Hidden Leaf Village is getting more and more modern.

Hmmm.

But of course, starting tomorrow, we still have to attend that old-fashioned Ninja Academy.

What?! That’s tomorrow?!

There’s a lot of stuff to get ready. Didn’t you do any of it?

Uh...

I mean, didn’t your dad tell you about it?

Maybe...

Boruto... listen, don’t go doing anything that’s gonna embarrass your dad, okay?

’Cause it’ll make me look bad, too.

Seriously?!

You may not know this... but your mom always tells me to watch out for you.

She does?

See... it’s like this train.

Hmmm?

If it stays on the tracks, it gets to its destination easily.

So just sit tight till you get there.

What’re you talking about?

I’m only telling you that you should behave.

See ya.

Don’t be late on the first day!

Ah, Shut up!

Hmph!

This has nothing to do with Dad at all.

You’ll see! I’ll show you one day!

Where are your parents?

That’s dangerous!

Oh! Sorry, man! My bad! K, bye!

Whoah! Phew. Huh?

Denki, this is really all you’ve got?

Isn’t that enough?

Well, yeah kinda, but maybe not... Right guys?

Yeah! You see, we wanna have some fun, too.

Huh...?

Yeah! Huh... Ahhh!

Huh?

What the-?!

Sorry. I guess my hand must’ve slipped.

What did you say?

You crazy?! You wanna get hurt?!

Tell you what, give him back his wallet, and I’ll let this slide.

Huh?

Come down and say that!

Hmph!

A ninja?!

Uh oh!

Omph!

What the-! Are you kidding?!

Who gives a crap about ninja?!

Here.

Y-You..

Look kid, don’t be so uncool...

Huh?!

Hey, aren’t you guys done messing with that kid yet?

Hmmm?

What do you think you’re doing?!

Come on, we’d better get out of here.

Okay!

Hey, you doing okay over there?!

No, I’m not okay! Now more of them will just come after me tomorrow!

Hm?

That money was just spare change for me...

Whoa, hold on, are you kidding me...

Doesn’t it piss you off? You gotta teach ’em a lesson!

I can’t I’m not strong like you...

Huh?!

I saw what you did back there. You know ninjutsu, right? Do you go to the ninja Academy?

Oh, uh, no... Well, I start tomorrow.

What? Tomorrow? That’s when I start, too.

Oh? Really? Cool!

Nice to meet ya!

It’s what my father wants.

To inherit his company, he said I gotta learn academics and ninjutsu.

Oh man, that sucks! So what’s the name of your business?

The Kaminarimon Company.

That’s the biggest company in the whole village!

Can I put in a pre-order for when the next release comes out?

Sure...

Still, I don’t get it... why’s he so hung up on you learning ninjutsu?

My father was a shinobi in the Fourth Great Ninja War.

He believes his achievements in battle led to his success in business.

So, he has great faith in ninja

But, do you want to become a ninja?

Not really...

Then don’t pay any attention to him!

I couldn’t do that. I’ve never disobeyed him...

Ah, give me a break!

At least you get to see him at home!

Huh?

My stupid old man only thinks about work and ignores his own family.

Oh. Really?

So whenever I disobey my dad, he isn’t around to punish me!

Hmmm...

Look, seriously, who cares what your dad says? Just do whatever you want and teach him a lesson!

Teach him a lesson...?

Yeah! That’s what I always do!

You see, I have a secret plan. I’m right in the middle of it, but keeping it hidden from my mom is really hard. And-

What time is it?

It’s about seven o’clock...

Ahhh! My mom’s gonna kill me!

Huh? I thought you didn’t get punished for disobeying...

Mom’s a different story. She’s really scary when she’s mad!

K bye!

Denki, never let anyone pick on you! Teach ’em a lesson!

Okay!

Whoa...

Huh?

Teach ’em a lesson...

I’m home!

Boruto, you said you’d be home for the celebration dinner.

Oh. Sorry, Mom.

Shikadai wouldn’t let me go...

Well, Shikadai has a good head on his shoulders, but you on the other hand, tend to get into trouble.

Trouble!

So what’re we having for dinner tonight?

Guess what! I helped make it!

Oh, yeah? I can’t wait!

Boruto, wash your hands!

Okay!

Woah!

I can’t believe you’re already starting at the Academy tomorrow...

I met your father when we were at the Academy.

I’ve heard that a hundred times, ya know.

He was always causing mischief, so people treated him like a problem child.

But he was actually very cool.

I’ve heard that a hundred times, too!

I thought for sure your father would be home tonight...

Yeah, what’s new...? He just keeps ignoring you and Himawari!

Don’t complain. This village stays safe because your father and many others protect it.

Let’s just enjoy our meal.

There’s not even an enemy for them to protect us from anymore.

Look, Boruto... fighting isn’t the only duty a ninja has.

The Hokage has a lot to do to make sure people can live safely in peace.

You’re going to learn that starting tomorrow at the Academy, too. It’s something that’s very important.

Hmph!

So uncool...

Denki, you’re the heir to the Kaminarimon Company! General Studies aren’t enough!

But, father...

I just-

Pitiful...

I know you had a run in with some bullies agai today.

How can you ever put an end to this type of behavior unless yo get trained at the Academy?!

I...

Who cares what your dad says?

Just do whatever you want and teach him a lesson!

So I just have to get strong. Is that what you want me to do?

That’s right.

If I prove it to you, then you’ll let me study whatever I want to?

If you prove it.

I need strength.

I don’t have any kind of power.

Then I’ll just have to prove that I have it, right...?

Prove my strength.

No, no, no, no, no! Move dude!

Whoa!

This is bad!
