When Naruto ended in 2017, fans were excited to have its sequel series, Boruto, start in the same year. Experiencing a serious time jump, the new series would follow Naruto's son, Boruto Uzumaki, and his friends during their ninja adventures. It took place in Konoha, but it focused on a new generation. However, other big changes affected the series, such as a huge technological boost, relative peace with a decreased need for shinobi, and Naruto becoming Hokage.
