Back to school with the release of Boruto Episode 261. Kawaki must enrol in school if he is to shield a princess from her enemies. Can he maintain his anonymity without being discovered? Meanwhile, Himawari wonders whether she can figure out why her older brother has been acting so erratically. Keep reading to find out what happened in Boruto 261 and how the fans are responding on Twitter. After a long day of shopping, Kakashi and Boruto decide to take a break at a dango shop. There was an argument between two elderly guys that started while they were there.
The young woman who belonged to one of the males told Boruto and Kakashi that the fireworks show planned for the Konoha festival was the source of the ruckus. The granddaughter called on the assistance of the two ninjas to mediate the dispute between her grandfather and his ex-friend. Since her future husband was the other elder’s grandson, it was imperative that the two reconcile before the wedding. Kakashi was able to persuade the two seniors to compete against each other, and they agreed to do so. But he had a strategy to show them how ridiculous they were behaving. He switched their firecrackers around before the festival began so that they would attack their own show, believing it was the opposing team’s. Because of this life lesson, the two long-lost friends made up, and the engaged couple was able to finally tie the knot.
Spoilers
The title of Boruto episode 261 is “Kawaki Joins the Ninja Academy!” Episode 261 of Boruto begins with a gathering of all the new students of the Ninja Academy in front of the school for the opening ceremony. When he’s done, Naruto delivers a little pep talk to the incoming pupils and flashes Kawaki a knowing grin. Following the prologue, viewers will witness Himawari chatting with two of her classmates about how great it is to be a student at the same time as them. The little girl goes up to Kawaki, who seems over everyone else, and expresses her happiness at being in his class. In a flashback, Kawaki remembers the time Naruto and Shikamaru invited him to join their new class.
Kae Yukiwari, one of the pupils, is the unwitting princess of the Land of Bamboo and is the target of an assassination attempt. The Hokage has asked Kawaki to pose as a bodyguard for Kae in order to keep her unaware of the assassination plots since her father wishes for her to stay unaware of the threats.
Meeting the incoming students and getting acquainted
The focus of Boruto Episode 261 returns to the current day, and the students—including Kawaki—are distracted by the arrival of their new teacher, Hana. When she starts a new class, she always has the students go around and introduce themselves. A young man called Eiki Fumma, the son of a Tokubetsu Jonin who appears to be quite nervous is the first to volunteer. Himawari follows, whose shocking revelation that she is the Hokage’s daughter causes a stir. Osuka, the daughter of a famous actress, stands up because she is envious of all the attention being paid to Himawari. Kae, however, is the most remarkable pupil since she is a princess. Kawaki has another memory of when Hana asks him to identify himself. He recalls that Naruto instructed him to introduce himself to the class by loudly shouting his name and the name of his favourite dish. Because of this, the majority of the school body, especially the younger students, see him with immediate terror rather than acceptance.
Project Kawaki
In Boruto Episode 261, Himawari and her friends chat with Kae after school has let out for the day. While Eiki first finds the girls to be excessively loud, he begins to develop feelings for Kae when she returns his handkerchief. Osuna is annoyed because she thinks it should be the other way around. Kawaki, meantime, is having another flashback—this time regarding the specifics of his assignment. Being friendly with Kae would help him fulfil his aim of sticking close to her. He tries to ask her to dinner after being instructed to do so by Naruto, but he scares everyone away. Eiki thinks Kawaki wants to ask her out on a date, so she attempts to dissuade him.
Kawaki’s terrible social skills lead him to trick everyone into thinking he’s madly in love with Kae. Hana is disregarded by her pupils due to her reserved nature, and Eiki is still attempting to stop Kawaki from courting the girl. Later that day, Hana and Anko have a conversation in which Hana questions whether or not she has what it takes to be a teacher. To reassure her, Shino reveals that he, too, experienced severe anxiety prior to his first performance, which manifested physically as a stomach ache. Before the scenario closes, Anko gives the new instructor her stamp of approval, assuring her that she will do a great job.
Find out Kawaki’s secret
The scene in Boruto Episode 261 shifts to the Uzumaki home, where Himawari and Kawaki have just walked in. Himawari eagerly reports to her mother the events of their first day at the Academy, while Kawaki fumes at Boruto’s teasing for his decision to enrol in the Academy. Himawari is worried about her erratic behaviour as of late. The next day, Hana is telling the students about the village, while Kawaki is not paying attention. Seeing him preoccupied, Hana invites him to tell the students what he knows about the Hokages.
Kawaki displays to the students how much of a Naruto fangirl he is and tells them he does not know anything about any other Hokage, startling all his classmates. Kawaki, who has never been excellent at connecting with others, is making all the younger pupils look at him like he is a weirdo. One of Himawari’s friends asks the girl whether his brother is like that all the time, and Himawari acknowledges he is behaving abnormally. Himawari notices that her brother Kawaki is staring at Kae, and she assumes the princess is the reason for his behaviour. Himawari and her brother discuss how to become closer to Kae when school is ended. She advises him to approach the princess and ask her about her taste in romance books.
Like before, Kawaki seems interested but acts disinterested, leading Himawari to wonder whether he is trying to hide his genuine motivations for wanting to be Kae’s friend. Kawaki tries to be friends with you. As seen in Episode 261 of Boruto, he took his sister’s advice to heart. To the surprise of the cashier, he really went to a library to check out a book on seducing males. However, the Uzumaki lad worries if the book would be enough to become Kae’s buddy. The next day at school, Kawaki enters his classroom only to find it full of reporters, who are recording and taking photographs of Kae.
The princess sneaks out to the restroom to avoid being filmed as she eats some treats in peace. They will be training with Kunai after lunch. Himawari stuns everyone with her abilities, but Kae in particular. Eiki attempts to impress the girl as well, but she is not even paying attention to him. Eiki challenges Kawaki to a battle so that she may witness for herself how powerful he is. Kawai flat-out refuses to engage in combat with Eiki and can only watch as the little child attempts to dodge his assaults. While receiving medical attention for his wounds, Eiki overhears Anko and Hana discussing the storage room in the infirmary. He overhears his professors discussing the presence of lethal weapons stored there, which gives him a plan to overcome Kawaki.
After the school day ends, Boruto Episode 261 continues with Kae saying farewell to her fans. Kawaki chooses to follow her since he sees this as a chance to get closer to her. At the same time, Eiki is entering the storage area, seeking to discover one of the weapons previously described that may assist him to beat Kawaki. He sees a scroll that appears promising and chooses to steal it. The scene shifts to Kae grousing on the rooftop about having to behave like a princess all day. When Kawaki finds out she is a princess impersonator, she asks her why she isn’t just being herself. Kae claims that she feels pressured to live up to the standards of her position in order to preserve the honour of her family.
Eiki quickly shows up with a scroll in hand and calls forth a monster. Unfortunately for the Fumma elite, the beast he was trying to master knocks him down nearly instantly. Kawaki easily overcomes the monster and gains Kae as a friend. Fans see Kae hours after the events on the roof as she reads the present from Kawaki. While speaking with a maid about her day, she reveals: There won’t be another time when I’m truly independent.
By the end of the film, you feel like you’re in the Hokage’s office. Kawaki updates Naruto on the progress of his assignment there. Himawari spied on her father and brother to find out Kawaki’s goal, as seen at the end of Boruto Episode 261. After last week’s dull instalment, Boruto Episode 261 was just what the franchise needed to get back on track. This new arc’s premise is novel enough to breathe new life into the brand, and it will also serve to flesh out some of the show’s most underused characters. Despite the fact that we may never see the new Academy students again after this story arc is through, they have been given ample time to mature into fully realised people. They each have their own unique characteristics and aesthetics that make them memorable. Fans are appreciating what the series is doing so far, but it is too soon in the arc to make any definitive statements about where the tale may go.
