Naruto fans knew that the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations spin-off may surpass the original Naruto story, however, no one was expecting it this soon. Fans are only 21 episodes into the Boruto anime, with only two novels completed and a third on its way in days. However, it seems that Boruto fans are already forgetting their original ninja hero, as the hash tag #BorutosDad has been trending for quite some time now. Yes, you heard me; Naruto is already being referred to as Boruto’s Dad.

On Twitter and Facebook, Boruto fans have been spamming the #BorutosDad hash tag with a number of hilarious memes. In addition, even Crunchyroll is now using the hash tag and the term Boruto’s Dad.

At first, the hash tag shocked me but after a little investigating, it was quite amusing. The story of Boruto’s dad (Boruto’s Dad Shippuden) ended its anime only a matter of months ago, with the new Boruto anime starting earlier this year. The Naruto spin-off Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is written by Ko Shigenobu, as well as Masashi Kishimoto the original Naruto creator, illustrator Mikie Ikemoto and writer Uko Kodachi.
You can check out the synopsis for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations below:
