Naruto Uzumaki has finally realized his dream of becoming Hokage, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village he spent his teenage years fighting to protect. Naruto and his peers now inhabit a world of peace, striving to maintain an international truce founded on goodwill and diplomacy. However, this stability exacts a personal toll on the aging hero. Naruto and the shinobi he grew up with discover that maintaining this neutral world keeps them away from their families, and even the legendary warriors of Naruto's generation must deal with being mediocre parents to their resentful children, including his own son, Boruto. Boruto Uzumaki faces a world entirely different from his father's, encountering unique difficulties due to the distance between them. Struggling against a society that places an unbearable burden of pressure on his shoulders because of his status as the Hokage's son, Boruto forges his own path, fighting to establish his own reputation as evil forces threaten to shatter the peace his father helped create.
