Boruto is looking to start off 2020 with a bang, continuing the action packed story line that brings Team 7 of Konoha against the nefarious organization of Kara. While the powerful sect of renegade ninja have a history with the celestial Otsutsuki Clan, searching for new vessels to help accumulate power, they have their eyes set on the Hidden Leaf Village and have already struck a heavy blow against the land. With Sasuke injured and Naruto sealed away thanks to the power of Jigen, a new preview shows that the manga is continuing the war that has raged throughout the franchise.

Twitter User SpirallingSphe2 shared an upcoming promotion from V-Jump that teases that the conflict between Kara and Konoha will only continue to rage as the manga moves forward and looks to place the new iteration of Boruto's Team 7 into harm's way as they attempt to rescue the Seventh Hokage:

The anime has not adapted that much of the manga that it was inspired on with Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, as fans have been amping their anticipation for the upcoming revisiting to the source material with the Mujina Bandits arc. The arc, which follows a band of rogue ninja turned bank robbers looking to steal something of extreme value from a bank within Konoha, follows the original Chunin Exams of Boruto and the newest generation of Konoha.

Kara has proved to be a terrifying threat for Konoha, with the likes of Jigen and Boro harboring ninjutsu abilities that have never been seen before. In a recent chapter of the manga for example, Boro has his entire upper torso blown off in his fight against Sarada, Kawaki, and Boruto himself. Springing back to life, such a blow was only a minor hindrance thanks to his regeneration abilities.

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
