Naruto: ‘Boruto’ Shows Off Temari’s Righteous Anger

If you thought Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was just about its new heroes, think again. The series may be focused on Naruto’s eldest child, but all of the Masashi Kishimoto’s big heroes get their due in this sequel. So, fans weren’t surprised by Temari’s flawless bit in the anime this week.

Really, if anything, they are embracing her righteous anger.

This week, Boruto shared its most recent episode, and it saw its young heroes step into a new mission. Team 7 and Team 5 were faced with a moral dilemma when they were tasked with halting some down-on-their-luck bank robbers. The incident got Shikadai thinking, but the episode didn’t just focus on that Nara. No, it also showed off Temari in all her rage-filled glory.

The anime met up with the Sand ninja as she cooked dinner at home. She was surprised by Shikamaru who dropped home early to eat with his wife and kid. The touching greeting had fans feeling warm and fuzzy, but that emotion dissipated when Shikamaru got distracted.

After the ninja spotted Shikadai playing Shogi, the two got to talking. They chatted about strategies and how the game mirrors those tactics used by ninjas. Temari was happy to see her family bonding when she called them to dinner, but she was a bit annoyed when she had to call the boys a second time.

So, when Temari had to call to them a third, she took things into her own hands. The episode sees Shikadai looked terrified when his mom approaches the Shogi board, and Shikamaru never had a chance against his wife. She used her massive fan to blast the men with a Wind jutsu, sending them flying from the house.

There is no word on whether the Nara men ever got their dinner, but fans can hope. Temari may be temperamental, but she does have a soft spot for her family You can just ask Gaara about that.
