Naruto! The Sky Screen Reveals the Top of the Pain Rankings: Boruto!

The Golden Ranking of Heaven's Will descends upon the shinobi world. From the start, it ranks the world's greatest suffering!

Everyone wonders whether the top spot will go to Itachi, who slaughtered his clan, or Naruto, the orphan. But the name at number one is none other than Boruto Uzumaki, son of the Seventh Hokage!

The entire shinobi world erupts, and the mockery begins! "What could the prince possibly suffer? Did someone steal his hamburger?" "A cheating loser, and he's number one?"

But then the sky screen begins showing the source of Boruto's "pain": getting caught cheating in the Chunin Exams and having his forehead protector publicly taken away, being sentenced before the whole shinobi world in a livestream by the father he loves most, and his shadow clone going poof on his birthday...

Then the scene shatters! Future Konoha lies in ruins, the Hokage Rock crumbles, and Naruto's fate is unknown! A young Boruto with a scar across his right eye draws Sasuke's sword and faces the enemy that will destroy the world alone!

"The age of shinobi is over."

After the ranking ends, there will be rankings of combat strength, office drones, and more. Whatever ranking you want, it'll be here.
