The most conspicuous quality Naruto tendered to his son is brimming confidence. This was proven in a new trailer for the highly-anticipated "Boruto: Naruto the Movie," where the young warrior reiterates his burning desire to accomplish triumphs far better than his father's.
In the clip, Boruto shows no hint of even the smallest amount of discouragement, just like his father, when he was tagged "dumber" than his dad. He believes that surpassing Naruto's "lame era" is something he is certain of fulfilling.
"I don't feel like I'm going to lose," he declares in the video.
However, rewriting history books (or at least burying Naruto's legacy into oblivion) is a feat he seems to want to achieve. That's where Sasuke comes in. In the film, the rebellious, ambitious young shinobi will see his father's pal as the gateway to beating him and becoming the best.
But of course, new enemies won't make things easier for Boruto. Just recently, the villains in the movie were unmasked. There's Momoshiki (Daisuke Namikawa), the man behind the Hidden Leaf Village attack, and his ever loyal assistant Kinshiki (Hiroki Yasumoto).
Good thing is that Boruto has a pack on his side, too. New characters introduced for "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" include Boruto's ninja ally Mitsuki (Ryuichi Kijima); Sai and Ino's son Inojin Yamanaka (Atsushi Abe); Shikamaru and Temari's son Shikadai Nara (Kensho Ono); and Boruto's little sister Himawari (Saori Hayami).
A new artwork for the movie was published by Shonen V-Jump Magazine and it notably exhibits a couple of new respective taglines that say, "The curtain rises on the legend that will surpass all!!" and "Transcend the legend. Take the reins of the new era."
"Boruto: Naruto the Movie" will hit theaters in Japan on Aug. 7. Tickets will be available on Jun. 27. Those who pre-order on the said date will get a special hand fan designed by "Naruto" creator Masashi Kishimoto.
Moviegoers will also get a special Naruto book that contains the final chapter of the "Naruto" manga and an all-new one-shot story developed by Kishimoto. Later this year, fans outside of "Naruto's" home fort will be able to see the anime flick as well.
