After a wait of 3 months, the Manga fans are all excited to read the upcoming chapter since the previous one left them all curious. In this article, we will be doing a short recap of Chapter 80, followed by the spoilers for Chapter 81.
Recap – Chapter 80
Chapter 80,’ What Dad Would Do,’ was one of the most happening chapters of the book. The seventh Hokage, Naruto, the father of Eida, was killed. Eida puts the entire blame on Boruto when she tells Shikamaru what happened. She provides him with nothing but lies.
Boruto runs from the village, ‘The Hidden Leaf,’ towards the forest to save his life. But he cannot escape as he is stopped by a group from his class known as ‘Team 10’. Boruto does not want to get in a fight with them; therefore, he tries his best to prevent it.
Sarada and Sumire are the only two people who are aware of the fact that Boruto has not killed the Seventh Hokage, Naruto. Just as Boruto tries to escape Team 10, Sarada convinces her father that Boruto is not a killer. Her father believes her and goes to rescue Boruto from the forest.
Now, Boruto has to make his brave return to the village and prove that he has not killed the Hokage while the villagers are ready to kill him.
