Among the many news revealed during the JUMP FESTA 2023, one among them was the fact that the new arc will see Boruto's titular protagonist, alongside other characters, taller, suggesting a time skip and that the characters have grown up.

Canon content will be adapted again in the Code Arc. There will be a shift in the story's timeline, along with a lot of new stuff coming up in the series. However, there increase in screen time for the key protagonists would prove that the majority of the focus would be on Team 7 and Code.

The Boruto anime is set to begin with chapter 56, titled Code. The show will see the titular protagonist become uncomfortable while being interviewed for his bravery and saving Konoha from Isshiki. This will be followed by him getting a visit from Kawaki at Hokage Rock to talk about some serious stuff. However, this arc won't be a smooth ride, as several more things are going to happen down the line.

The anime series wrapped up Kawaki Arc with the episode The Eighth Truth, where Boruto reawakened back to where it all began for him. It was followed by his meeting with Yatsume and Rokuro facing some complexities and eventually realizing that Koji was also in the headquarters of Kara. It ended with Yatsume asking Boruto to kill her in order to free her. However, he refuses as she is afraid of death in real life.


Conclusion

The fandom's enthusiasm is readily active as they can't wait to tune into the first episode of the much-awaited Code Arc. As it will bring in a host of new characters, it remains to be seen how the current Team 7 tackles the new arising issues that pose a danger to Hidden Leaf.
