Roughly one and half months to go before the premier of Boruto: Naruto the Movie, the second trailer of the much awaited post-Naruto saga film has been released this weekend. From the first scene onwards, it already provides fans a low down about the identity of the new characters and the central plot of the story.
While producers made sure the big chunk of details are still contained in the movie, the second trailer gives the fans the foresight to picture out the prevailing situation in the ninja world at the time of Naruto's reign as the Seventh Hokage and the ominous presence of a dark power that threatens everything they earnestly built upon through years of bloodsheds.
Here are the takeaways from the latest trailer of Boruto: Naruto the Movie:
Sarada activated the full power of Sharingan in both eyes - Chapter 8 of Naruto Gaiden: The 7th Hokage and the Scarlet Spring revealed that Sarada just activated her Sharingan for the first time after finding out that Sakura isn't her true mother and Karin is the real one based on the result of the DNA test conducted by Suigetsu (although there's still more to it than meets the eye).
Out of deep hatred towards the people she believed lying to her all this time, Sarada activated the Sharingan in front of Naruto, who then calmed down the child's rebellious heart by telling her the true essence of being loved by a parent, whether or not they share the same bloodline. In the trailer, Sarada seems to have full control of her Sharingans as she shows to everybody the visual power of the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke is Really Boruto's Teacher - Although the first trailer already mentioned Sasuke as Master, it's pretty vague to tell that he would spend time teaching a hard-headed Genin, given his demeanor. But the second trailer indeed confirmed that he will be the Kakashi to Boruto and the new Team 7 that reportedly includes his daughter Sarada and the mystery kid Mitsuki. Also, it appears Boruto will be wielding a lightning style jutso rather than the patented rasengan wind-style jutso of his father.
Mitsuki's Ability - Mitsuki's identity remains a big question up to this date. There are conspiracy theories pointing Mitsuki as a descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, especially of Toneri because of his Japanese name that means Full Moon, while some believe he's another Orochimaru's experiment or perhaps his son. One thing is for sure, he has the ability to really stretch those hands.
Is Naruto... uhm, going to die? - In the trailer, it shows Naruto entrusting to Sasuke that guy, or A.K.A his son Boruto, before the scene shifted to a huge explosion. It's still a speculation, but the trailer seems to be conveying a message that it would be a change of guards in the story with Boruto starting an era of his own. It's too early to come up with such silly conclusion (big Naruto fan here), but the only way to find it out is to watch on the big screen on August 7 in Japan.
