Our series starts off very similar to the very last fight with Sasuke and Naruto battling before the end of part one of the original Naruto manga, except this time we have Boruto, facing off against someone named Kawaki. What looks like Boruto trying to save his friend, quickly switches to him bringing out a Konoha head bandana with the symbol of his village striked it, showing it is Boruto that has turned against his clan. The flash forward ends abruptly here as we travel back intime to Boruto possibly years later...
Boruto, unlike his father, seems to be a ninja who is a bit more popular when it comes to friends. He has the same personality as his father once had as well, accept for the fact that he hates his dad. Naruto now is the leader of Konohagakure. Boruto also makes it very clear in the narrative, this story is not about his father Naruto, it's about him. So now that we have that out of the way our story begins with Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki taking on missions with their master, Konohamaru. After their current mission, Konohamaru shows off a new device that he ninja world is developing that can reproduce ninjutsu techniques with tiny scrolls. It gives off powerful reults, but Konohamaru makes it clear that his students must get strong on their own and not rely on machines. Boruto can honestly care less about having to master his own techniques and on his way home, runs into the inventor of the device who gives one to Boruto to use. Unbeknownst to Boruto and us though is their is a scheme behind this that we will see in future chapters.
Our story then shifts quickly to the upcoming Chuunin exam. Boruto's team all wants to compete, but they need everyone to agree on it. Boruto however thinks it is dumb, but later agrees with the plan to do the exam. It is also the day of Boruto's younger sister's birthday, and Boruto gets even more upset that his father sends a shadow clone out to the party instead of himself to wish his daughter a happy birthday.
Sasuke, on his way back from seeing Naruto who gave him a new mission, finds Naruto's childhood jacket thrown outside of his house. When he returns it, Boruto chases after him, begging Sasuke to train him.
The chapter pretty much leaves us off there. As a whole, I thought it started out well, until we got to the Chuunin Exam stuff. Yes, this is not a weekly series like the original series, but a monthly; it doesn't mean that this series needs to be very fast interms of where we are going. We are just being introduced into this world. The Flash forward sequence at the beginning as we go to the past for the rest of the chapter was a nice touch; it gives us something to look forward to later. But us having so much, so quick, can really be overwhelming. Yes we know this world, but we don't know all these new characters unless you read the side-stories. Overall, it was an interesting ride and can't wait for the next addition.
Rating: 6/10
