Boruto Spoilers
In the anime, Boruto’s story starts as he follows in his father’s footsteps and joins the Hidden Leaf Village’s Ninja Academy. There, he becomes a close friend of Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Boruto has always harbored a certain amount of resentment toward his father because he believes that the older man gives more importance to his duties as the Hokage than to his family. However, in the course of the series, he begins understanding him and the immense responsibility he has. He makes new friends and goes on adventures that constantly test him. Sarada has her own adventures as well. One time, she goes to look for her father and then works together with him and Naruto to rescue her mother from Shin Uchiha. After leaving the academy, Boruto, Sarada, and their friend Mitsuki begin working under Konohamaru Sarutobi.
