What happened last time?
Boruto Episode 260 started with Boruto and Kakashi going around the village carrying some shopping bags. They stopped in a Dango shop to enjoy some treats but were interrupted when a pair of elders started fighting.
A woman named Yubeshi, the granddaughter of one of the older men, revealed that they were fighting because of a dispute over firework displays. She asked Boruto and Kakashi to help her solve the issue so she could marry Sabure, the grandson of the second old man. Kakashi did not want to help at first but was convinced when Yubeshi offered him a special edition of Icha Icha Tactics.
After failing to reconcile them by talking, Kakashi proposed for the two elders to have a competition. The winner would be the one to work on the displays from that moment on, to which both men agreed. What they did not notice was that Kakashi planned all this to give them a lesson.
The displays started and both elders became anxious after realizing someone had interchanged their fireworks. This helped them realize how petty they were being, and after learning that their grandchildren were in love, they finally reconciled. The episode ended with Boruto helping Kakashi with his back problems, and Yubeshi and Sabure getting married.
What can you expect from Boruto Episode 261?
The Ninja Academy is a place where kids learn to be an efficient Shinobi and make friends. Kawaki is already a proficient ninja, but his social skills are subpar at best. Accompanied by Himawari, and on a secret mission to keep one of his classmates safe, Kawaki will have to navigate the complicated world of school.
As mentioned before, this arc has been long awaited by fans for a while now. The idea of seeing Kawaki and Himawari being in the same classroom, even when Kawaki is significantly older than Himawari, sounds hilarious to watch.
Fans expect this arc to develop both Kawaki and Himawari’s relationship, as well as show how powerful the Uzumaki girl can be. We can only hope the show knows how to handle this premise in a satisfying manner that will leave fans happy about seeing Boruto Episode 261.
