The intense battle at the arena between Naruto and the Otsutsuki invaders continues in the upcoming sixth chapter of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations." Judging from the previous chapter, things may only get worse from here on out.

As it happened in "Boruto: Naruto the Movie," on which the Japanese manga series is based, Naruto failed to defeat the Otsutsukis even after unleashing the full power of his nine-tailed beast Kurama.

In chapter 5, after combining his chakra with Sasuke to successfully block off Momoshiki's attack, Naruto then asked his longtime friend to focus his powers in protecting their children before taking on the invaders on his own. Unfortunately, without Sasuke's assistance, Naruto's offense proved to be insufficient to hold out against the Otsusukis and he was soon overwhelmed and carried away from the arena.

One good thing that came out of this encounter is Boruto's previously non-existent will to become a ninja was fired up with the goal of saving his father.

The next chapters of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" will likely show an emotional Boruto regretting the disrespectful way he has been treating his father. He came into his father's empty office and finds Naruto's old jacket, which only served to remind him of the possibility that he may never see his father again.

But Sasuke came in and assured him that Naruto is still alive since he can still feel his friend's chakra. He then launched a rescue mission that included the Kage from the four other ninja villages and Boruto. Sasuke would use his Rinnegan to transport his crew to the alternate dimension where the Otsusukis were holding Naruto captive.

Although the manga was inspired by the movie, things may still happen differently in chapter 6. GameNGuide speculated that the upcoming manga installment may show a powerful fusion between Naruto's Kurama and Sasuke's Susanoo that has never been seen before in the entire Naruto universe. The Bitbag also speculated that Boruto may be able to inflict some damage on the Otsutsukis in an attempt to stop them from taking Naruto away.

Meanwhile, University Herald surmised that Boruto may make an appearance in the Japanese anime series, "Naruto Shippuden," which is about to air its two final episodes.

"Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" is published monthly on the "Weekly Shounen Jump," and chapter 6 is due this month.
