After 18 Years, Naruto Is Set To Reveal The Next Child Of Prophecy

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto series.

Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the Naruto series, built a fascinating world where fate and prophecy are deeply connected. Throughout the original Naruto story, he explored this idea extensively, showing how Naruto Uzumaki actively defied fate to forge his own path. Ironically, this very struggle against destiny is what ultimately led him to fulfill the prophecy and become the hero destined to save the world – a concept Kishimoto particularly enjoyed developing.

At first, everyone believed a single hero was responsible, but it was actually Naruto and Sasuke working together who saved the world by defeating Kaguya Otsutsuki. Now, their time has passed. A new protector has emerged – a new ‘Child of Prophecy’ – who is battling against destiny itself to safeguard those he cares about. This hero is Boruto Uzumaki, the son of the Seventh Hokage, and the one who secretly protects the village.

Naruto and Sasuke Were The Children Of Prophecy, But Boruto Is The Savior Of The World

During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto and Sasuke took on the immense responsibility of saving the world. They battled and ultimately defeated Madara Uchiha, then sealed away Kaguya Otsutsuki, finally bringing an end to the endless cycle of hatred.

Naruto, you’re the child of prophecy. I’m sure now. — Jiraiya

Naruto and Sasuke brought about a new era of peace, but now Boruto Uzumaki must take on that legacy. Despite being a troubled ninja disliked by many – largely due to his immense power – Boruto represents the best chance the world has against threats like the Otsutsuki clan and the Shinju. He is, in every way, the planet’s protector and a beacon of hope.

Boruto Uzumaki Is The Next Child Of Prophecy

Naruto and Sasuke faced a huge threat when they saved the world, but Boruto is now battling even more powerful enemies, and those challenges will only increase over time. Considering Naruto and Sasuke were called ‘Children of Prophecy’ for defeating a weaker foe and saving the world, Boruto deserves an even greater title for fighting far more dangerous threats and protecting a world that often rejects him. If there’s to be another Child of Prophecy, it should undoubtedly be Boruto Uzumaki.

Heed my words! Those blue eyes will take everything from you. — Momoshiki Otsutsuki to Boruto

Boruto Will Guard The World From All Incoming Threats

I’m seriously blown away by what Boruto’s already accomplishing! He’s not just looking out for Konoha, he’s protecting the entire ninja world. He gets how serious things are right now, and with Naruto and Sasuke not always around, he really feels the weight of responsibility to keep everyone safe. Honestly, I think by the end of the series, he’ll be a global protector, just like his dad was destined to be. Whether they call him the Child of Prophecy or not, I truly believe Boruto will be a unique savior, and he might even surpass his father one day!

The next chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, chapter 28, will be released on November 20, 2025, at 10 AM Eastern Time / 3 PM Coordinated Universal Time. Fans can read it for free on the official Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
