The side story, which is titled, "Michita Tsuki ga Terasu Michi (The Path Lit by the Full Moon)," will tell the story of Mitsuki, the mysterious young ninja from the Hidden Sound Village. It will be adapted into anime for the series' Dec. 27 episode.
"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" airs on Wednesdays at 5:55 p.m. JST on TV Tokyo. Episodes can also be streamed online via Crunchyroll and Hulu.
