Follow the Story of the Next Generation

You’ve already followed Naruto’s journey, but have you met his son Boruto? Follow the next generation of shinobi in the Hidden Leaf Village in the manga, the anime, or both!

Boruto Manga Bloginline 640x350

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Vol. 1 - 20 are now available in print and digital.

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!

Boruto Anime Bloginline 640x350

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Sets 1 - 20 are available now on Blu-ray.

Meet Naruto’s son! His name is Boruto and he’s just like his dad—unfortunately. He’s rambunctious, rebellious, and more than a handful! He’s joined by the next generation of the Hidden Leaf Village—including Sarada, the daughter of Sasuke; and Mitsuki, a shinobi of mysterious lineage! Boruto and his friends have their hands full when they investigate a dangerous entity known as “The Ghost.” Can Boruto save the village just like dad?

In a cruel twist of fate, Boruto’s and Kawaki’s lives have been switched due to a powerful jutsu. Now branded a traitor, Boruto is on the run from his village as he trains with Sasuke. But when Code attacks Konoha, it’s time for a grown-up Boruto to return home and show how powerful he’s become!
