The NARUTO / BORUTO Official YouTube channel, which launched in March 2026, released a digest video of the Wave Country arc on March 12. The arc, which is the first major mission for Team 7, covers the team's introduction to Kakashi, his Copy Ninja technique, and the debut of his original jutsu Chidori. The story also features the popular antagonists Zabuza Momochi and Haku, who later reappear in the Fourth Great Ninja War via the Impure World Reincarnation. Fan comments on the video praised the arc's emotional depth and the character moments between Zabuza and Haku. The digest omits one notable scene: the first coordinated attack between Naruto and Sasuke using the Windmill Triple Blade Shadow Shuriken technique. The channel also uploaded a special music video on March 19 featuring Kakashi and Obito set to KANA-BOON's "Silhouette."
The NARUTO / BORUTO Official YouTube channel began operations in March 2026, aiming to deliver classic scenes, news, and special content to global fans of both series. Its first major upload, the Wave Country arc digest, runs through the story that introduced Team 7's first real mission and the emotional conflict with Zabuza and Haku. The omitted Windmill Triple Blade Shadow Shuriken sequence, where Naruto transforms into a shuriken thrown by Sasuke, was later recreated in the Boruto anime episode 65, which expanded the fight against Momoshiki Otsutsuki with different choreography than the film version. The March 19 music video pairs Kakashi and Obito with KANA-BOON's "Silhouette," a song originally used as an opening theme for the series. The channel's update schedule remains unannounced, but the early releases suggest a focus on fan-favorite arcs and character pairings.
