"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" chapter 5 is not slated to arrive this month, but fans can already expect that the upcoming episode will be ushering in a character that will provide the anime series an additional flavor from the original "Naruto" series.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" season 1 has just aired its third episode today, but there is no denying that it has already earned the admiration from anime fans. After all, as it is a "Naruto" spin-off, it goes without saying that many fans of its parent series are still supporting it — thanks to its "Naruto" elements.
While "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" has its focus on Naruto's eldest son, Boruto, many viewers are reminded of the "Naruto" series as Boruto copies certain moves that Naruto displayed in the past, including the shadow clone technique. However, when "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 5 airs next month, the anime series will offer another "Naruto" element into it as it is ushering in a child of an original character from "Naruto," Mitsuki.
Mitsuki is Orochimaru's synthetic son. According to reports, he ran away from Orochimaru to live his life the way he wants to. And, from the looks of it, Mitsuki is joining Boruto and the rest of the crew at the Academy beginning its episode 5, titled "The Mysterious Transfer Student!!!"
Based on the synopsis of the said upcoming episode, Mitsuki will defeat Iwabē during a sparring session. However, his physical strengths and fighting skills are not the only admiration-worthy feature about him as he is said to excel in his academics, too.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 5 is slated for streaming over Crunchyroll on May 3, Wednesday, at 4:35 am CDT.
Meanwhile, "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" chapter 12 in the manga is expected to feature Boruto and Tentou's (Daimyo's son) relationship improving. While the current chapter shows that the two are off to a bad start as Boruto despises the idea of being Tentou's bodyguard and Tentou insults Boruto for looking shabby, the two are suspected to get along in chapter 12 because they are both crazy about the latest popular card game, Extreme Ninja Scrolls (ENS).
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" chapter 12 is expected to arrive later this month.
