The name of the next arc of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was hinted at by the anime’s scriptwriter, who gave fans a sneak peek at what to expect.
The next arc of the series Boruto will be titled “Labyrinth Game,” featuring Honda Masaya as the writer.
BORUTO begins a new arc called Labyrinth Game in episode 276. I am in charge of the scripts for four of the six episodes. I put in as many ideas as I could think of. It’s going to be a dizzying ride. Don’t miss it! #BORUTO https://t.co/OOUO3DuPYn

Boruto, the son of Naruto, the Seventh Hokage, joins the Ninja Academy. However, Boruto is rejected by other students who don’t think he belongs there because he’s “just Naruto’s son.” Boruto’s personality and love for what he does can break down those walls for others. When mysterious events begin to surface around his class, it’s up to Boruto and his new friends to investigate them. His story is just beginning!
What is Boruto: Naruto Next Generations about?
After Naruto was finished, Shueisha asked Kishimoto to make a sequel, but he refused. Instead, they appointed Mikio Ikemoto and Ukyo Kodachi to create the storyline and draw the manga.
The story begins 12 years after the Fourth Great War. It is a time of peace, and Naruto is already Hokage, having two children: Boruto and Himawari. We meet Boruto’s team, Sasuke’s daughter Sarada, and Mitsuki, who Orochimaru raised.
Despite being a Hokage, Naruto often neglects his family, and Boruto struggles with a lack of attention. He tries to gain his father’s approval by convincing Sasuke to become his master, but the Uchiha only agrees if Boruto can learn the Rasengan.
The Boruto series features the return of the Otsutsuki and begins more darkly by presenting a future in which Boruto stands as the last ninja. The story starts with an invasion of Leaf Village to capture Naruto and extract Kurama. But it’s not all bad! Once Boruto is captured, he manages to escape from captivity into a world without ninjas.
