The real villains of the Academy arc have been revealed, which means that in Boruto episode 268, Kae will be in more danger than ever. Until last week’s episode, fans were wondering when the main villain for this saga of the series would make themselves known. Thankfully, we now know not only who is behind the princess but also what their motives are.

In the previous episode, fans saw Kawaki trying to keep his identity as a Shinobi hidden from Kae, while the main threat of the arc revealed himself. Boruto episode 268, titled Target: The School Festival!, will focus on Kawaki taking care of Kae while their class prepares for the Academy’s titular festival.

Now that fans are aware that Kae is being targeted by the Minister of her own kingdom, the arc will most likely continue to explore this concept. In the preview for Boruto episode 268, fans can see a worried Himawari talking with Kawaki. This could imply that the Uzumaki siblings are trying to find a way to keep the princess safe without alerting her of what is happening.

Fortunately, not everything in this upcoming episode will be sad and tense, as we will have a chance to see many fan-favorite characters return to our screens. Team 7, Inojin, and many more members of the new generation of Shinobi will again appear in the series. They will be the ones to enjoy all the hard work Kawaki’s class put into the school festival.

Fans will also see a play about the lives of the legendary Sanin the kids were practicing for in the last episode. From what we could tell during their rehearsals last week, the play will focus on the moment Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and made his escape from the village.

Boruto episode 267 started with Kawaki’s classmates practicing their roles for the upcoming school play. Himawari, who was dressed as Minato, forgot her fake band, so her brother tried to offer her his, which was real. She immediately told Kawaki to hide it, as it could reveal his identity as a Shinobi. Sadly, Eiki saw it and tried to blow Kawaki’s cover.

Over the next few days, Eiki did everything he could to prove that Kawaki was an actual Shinobi pretending to be a student. Sadly, his last attempt destroyed the set his friends worked so hard on, making him realize his mistake. The episode ended with Kawaki saving Kae from an assassin hired by her country’s Minister, who wants the princess dead to put her brother on the throne.
