In the third chapter of one of the most popular manga series, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the stage is set for the Chunin exams to be conducted. This installment starts off with Kankurou and Gaara making their way to Konoha, where the exams are to be held. However, the appearance of a couple of new, mysterious villains will most probably result in the exams being interrupted or cancelled.

Spoilers on Breathecast suggest that the duo gain entry to the venue of the exam by adopting disguises, and eventually kidnap a student, Mitsuki. They are then speculated to use the abducted student as a bargaining chip in accomplishing their mission. The Bitbag reveals that although the motive of these two miscreants is unclear, their storyline will certainly make for an intriguing arc in the manga.

Guesses about what the two new criminals could possibly want centre around a scribe, whose whereabouts are known by no one except Sasuke. The bad duo is, therefore, likely to go after Sasuke as they try to extract the information about where the scribe could be found.

Ecumenical News speculates that should the villains begin to raid the village, Naruto would focus on keeping the residents of the Konoha locality safe from harm, while Sasuke will take the front line in hunting and capturing the criminals.

Meanwhile, as Naruto and Sasuke are busy keeping the peace, the former's son Boruto will not take backstage. Also on the cards are some great moments where the father-son duo bonds, and Naruto turns protective, refusing to allow his kid to take part in the fights that may follow. Boruto, who has been portrayed as an immature boy, is likely to do things on his own terms. We have to wait and watch if this will eventually help in calming things down, or instead create more troubles for him and his friends.
