'Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' Episode 3 Review: Metal Lee Met With Good Fan Reaction
The recent episode of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" introduced a new character by the name of Metal Lee, the son of Rock Lee. And while he does have skills, viewers also learned that he does not work well with an audience.
Episode 3 found Boruto in shuriken training, along with his other classmates and friends. Metal was revealed to be capable of throwing shurikens and hitting the target accurately, but he failed when others started paying attention to him.
Boruto and his companions were also assigned to repair the Naruto Hokage Rock--the very same one that Boruto damaged in the premiere. With Boruto's eye, he was able to spot an evil chakra, which eventually possessed Metal. The chakra apparently takes over those who are angry, but that has yet to be proven.
