You can lear more about it in the trailer below as we now patiently wait for a proper release date. It's during this point that, as it was headed into chaos, Boruto realized a mysterious man named Merz has been trying to initiate the war. Meanwhile, something unusual takes place in the real world as the Fifth Great Ninja War is on the verge of breaking out. Here, Boruto discovers a popular online game called Ninja Heroes, and meets Nanashi, a navigator from the game. We learn that the game takes place during the events of Boruto, when the Ninja World is at peace again with Naruto as Hokage, which is a very interesting point in time to place the story because it conveniently leaves room for interpretation of what happens between chapter points. This particular trailer features an original story designed exclusively for the game, anchored by two original characters named Nanashi and Merz.
