'Boruto: Naruto Next Generations' Spoilers: Another Member of the Hoshigaki Coming
This week's episode of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations," which is titled "A Turbulent School Trip," will introduce a relative of the infamous Hoshigaki Kisame who is also known as the Monster of the Hidden Mist.
This new character goes by the name Shisuma. In a scan from a Japanese magazine shared on Reddit, he was revealed to be from "the same clan as Hoshigaki Kisame" and "yearns for the old days of The Village of the Bloody Mist."
The Reddit user who provided the scan also pointed out that in kanji, his name means corpse, clear and truth, which the leakster believes can be translated as "clear-cut corpse," which makes him sound like quite the terrifying fighter.
Boruto will meet Shisuma in the Hidden Mist Village, which is where he and his class will be going in "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 25. Looking at the title of the installment, things are bound to take a dangerous turn for the students.
Per the synopsis for the "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode, Boruto and the class will be accompanied by another new character, Karatachi Kagura, who, in the same magazine, was described as "a young genius ninja who works as Chojuro's aide" and "desires peace for his village."
He hopes that the group will "shine their on the modern village bursting with energy that was once called Village of the Bloody Mist" and set aside its dark history, when it was the venue for young ninjas who kill each other to get to a higher rank.
While Kagura is clearly happy with the state of the village, not everyone shares this perspective in "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 25 and it looks like one of these people is Shisuma, who is deemed to be much like Kisame in terms of principle.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" episode 25, "A Turbulent School Trip," airs Wednesday, Sept. 20, on TV Tokyo.
