For the past few episodes, the titular character of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" has been complaining about the lack of action in the previous missions of Team 7. In episode 43, however, he may finally get what he wished for as Boruto, Sarada, and Mitsuki are about to face a group of noble gangsters known as the Byakuya Gang.
In the previous episode of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," Team 7 solved a bank robbery crisis involving a man who was recently fired by his employer. The bank robber even threatened to blow himself up and everyone inside the bank, but thanks to Boruto's persuasion, the man calmed down and decided to stop his plan. Interestingly, this incident is actually a precursor to episode 43, as the Byakuya Gang brainwashed the bank robber to incite fear in the bank.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 43 will finally introduce the gang responsible for all the recent crimes in the Leaf village. According to the episode synopsis, the Byakuya Gang appears to have the same motivation as the legendary thief Robin Hood. The group steals money from the rich people of Konoha in order to share it with the poor. However, Boruto things that something is off with Byakuya's Gang's intentions, and Naruto's son will consult his friend, Shikadai, regarding the background of the so-called noble thieves.
Even though the Byakuya Gang is seemingly helping the poor people, Byakuya and the rest of Team 7 are determined to stop the operations of the group. However, the teaser for "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 43 shows that the gangster members are no pushovers as they have mastered a handful of ninja techniques to use against their enemies. Nevertheless, this will be an opportunity for Naruto to show his capabilities in handling serious matters inside Konoha, although it is uncertain if he is skilled enough to be involved in a ninja gangster war.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 43 will air in Japan next Wednesday, Feb. 7.
