Before Boruto became the center of the story, however, his father was just a kid trying to find his way in the shinobi world. The franchise is still ongoing with the Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga and anime.
Masashi Kishimoto created a sprawling world where ninja harnessed their chakra to accomplish impossible feats. The Naruto franchise, like a good deal of popular anime of the 90s and 2000s, was based on a manga.
