The overarching theme of Boruto's journey is centered around the idea of change and growth in a modern, interconnected world. Unlike Naruto's journey which focused on perseverance, friendship, and overcoming obstacles through hard work, Boruto's story explores the challenges of a new generation that is grappling with the legacy of the past while navigating a rapidly changing society. Boruto's narrative emphasizes the importance of finding one's own path and identity in a world that is vastly different from the one Naruto grew up in.
