Naruto's Next Video Game Details Original Boruto Story
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations might have placed its anime adaptation on hiatus for now, but the shonen franchise will return with both a "Part 2" and four new episodes of the original Naruto series. Luckily, the anime won't be the only place where stories featuring Boruto Uzumaki will be told as the next entry in the shonen's video game series will have an original story of its own. Later this year, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will arrive and create a brand new story focusing on the son of the Seventh Hokage.
Not only will the next game feature the return of the "Naruto Boruto universe", but it will also bring in some characters and transformations that had yet to make their way to consoles and/or personal computers. Storm Connections will feature the Seventh Hokage wielding his ultimate transformation, Baryon Mode, while also giving us a recent take on Sasuke Uchiha from the latest series in his aesthetic labeled "Supporting Kage". With the description for the original story focused on Boruto, it would seem that one of the Uchihas' most deadly techniques is being turned against the Hidden Leaf Village, which could cause some serious problems for the ninja world.

The Ultimate Ninja Storm fighting game series has been the biggest focusing on the Hidden Leaf Village, with the first entry arriving in 2008. Over the years, with the manga and anime stories fleshing out the shonen universe and giving anime fans plenty more when it came to new characters and transformations that were a part of the ninja world. Thus, the game series was able to expand in kind and will continue to do so with the upcoming entry.
