Boruto: Naruto Next Generations fans go berserk over a fan-art featuring the protagonist

The fanbase reacted to an illustration of Boruto and the aforementioned artist called this character Konoha’s Shadow Warrior. The artist also went on to mention that the protagonist was a part-time model for a hypothetical magazine called “Shinobi Times.”

A ton of fans really like how the protagonist looks in this illustration. One can see the Karma marks and it’s highly likely that he’s a complete Otsutsuki at this point. There isn’t much of a change in his appearance aside from the fact that he looks slightly older. However, another point of interest is that he has a sword. In the past, fans speculated that the protagonist was carrying Sasuke’s sword since the Shadow Hokage was his mentor in the series.

The artist, @BrandonArt also uploaded another illustration which was the manga version of this character. The illustration is in black and white since manga illustrations are in greyscale.

Some fans believed that this was the best Boruto fanart they had seen in a while. A ton of fans loved the illustration and appreciated the artist for including the Momoshiki symbol as the background in this fanart.

Another fan mentioned how the main character looked great during the Timeskip arc because of the Jougan and the Karma marks along with the scars. This gives the character another layer of details and certainly makes him look stronger.

Another fan mentioned how they were dreading the Timeskip arc because of the deaths that will take place. Fans got a glimpse of this when they saw the first episode of the series. The village was destroyed and the setting made it look like the anime had a dystopian setting. On the other hand, fans are also eager to see the fight between Boruto and Kawaki.

We still don't know whether Kawaki is the bad guy in the fight. People assumed so in the beginning because he said,

"I'll send you where I sent the Seventh Hokage."

Fans have reason to believe that he sent Naruto to another dimension and didn't kill him. However, only time will tell whether or not Boruto is fighting for a good cause.
