The Star Core of the New Generation

In the fifteenth year of peace in the Shinobi World, Uzumaki Boruto was born, Uchiha Sarada grew up, and new-generation ninja like Mitsuki, Inojin, and Chocho entered the Hidden Leaf Village's Ninja Academy.

Boruto had been lively and restless since childhood. He hated being called "the Hokage's son" and longed to walk his own path. Sarada inherited the Uchiha bloodline and dreamed of becoming Hokage, protecting the Leaf and her family. Mitsuki carried questions about his own existence and sought a place to belong among his companions.

They were the concrete projections of the New Network in the Shinobi World.

The core Star Core of the New Network resonated deeply with Boruto's consciousness. The Star Core's tendency to "rush forth" became the rebellion and desire to explore in Boruto's very bones; the New Network's "newborn" tendency kept Boruto forever curious about the unknown, forever unbound by rules.

During the first Chunin Exams, Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki descended upon the Shinobi World, plundering Tailed Beast Chakra and attempting to seize the fruit of the God Tree.

Momoshiki's golden Rinnegan swept across the Shinobi World, his tone contemptuous. "A lowly dimension. Lowly life-forms. Nothing more than vessels for chakra."

He raised his hand and condensed a chakra cannonball, aiming it straight at the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto activated Six Paths Mode, Kurama's Perfect Susanoo wrapping around his entire body as he stood before the village. Sasuke activated Perfect Susanoo, using Heavenly Hand Power to constantly switch positions and hold Momoshiki and Kinshiki in check.

Battle erupted, and the sky of the Shinobi World was lit by chakra. The mature power of the Original Network and the newborn power of the New Network clashed head-on in the Shinobi World for the first time.
