"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" plot has revealed that Sasuke will train the film's protagonist, Naruto and Hinata's son.
The story revolves around Boruto and Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter. Both of these characters were introduced in the final chapter of the manga series. The film will premiere in Japan this August and will most likely be shipped to North America this fall.
"That's stupid as hell," Boruto exclaimed in the trailer. "S----y old man... I'll surpass that title! I'm not in the mood to lose!"
Boruto, who took after his father in terms of his fighting spirit, will be trained by Sasuke and become Sarada's rival. In the trailer, Orochimaru was revealed to be the villain in the "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" plot.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, two main characters from the series, will both make an appearance in the film. They will be voiced by their original voice actors: Junko Takeuchi and Noriaki Sugiyama, respectively.
Series creator Masashi Kishimoto will be involved in the film's production. "Boruto" will be the first movie of the popular franchise which is handled only by Kishimoto. He is credited as the director, script writer and character designer.
A new mysterious character named Mitsuki, which means "full moon" when literally translated, has been revealed as part of the "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" plot. He is described as "an enigma shrouded in many mysteries. A boy with a composed expression... His slightly-long white hair has a waviness to it."
There are speculations on whether Mitsuki will be an ally or another villain in the movie.
"But then again, how many times have we seen the same line which eventually ends up seeing that mystery person as neutral or an ally?" Christian Today wrote.
"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" will be shown in Japanese theaters in Aug. 7. It is the film sequel to the "Naruto" manga series and "The Last: Naruto the Movie."
