      exceptionally talented, yet mysterious shinobi and Boruto, Naruto’s
      talented, but impetuous son. Meanwhile Sasuke, who’s been on a mission
      in another dimension, appears before Naruto to warn of a strange
      impending threat. Shrouded with an evil aura, Momoshiki and Kinshiki
      appear and attempt to assassinate Naruto. Petrified, Boruto is shielded
      by Naruto, only to disappear in front of Boruto’s own eyes.
