Boruto: Naruto Next Generations fans were devastated after Naruto seemingly disappeared in a huge explosion as he was protecting the village against Momoshiki's attacks.

Many were left wondering if the protagonist died, but others argue that he could be still alive. For those who are eager to know, spoilers reveal what truly happened at the end of the episode.

What Really Happened in Episode 62

Titled "Sasuke's Trump Card," the synopsis for episode 62 seemingly indicates that Naruto is still alive, albeit being captured by the Otsutsuki clan. Sasuke appears to be an important figure for Boruto in this tragic situation, as he sees Naruto's son finally maturing as a shinobi.

Those who have watched the recent episode of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations know for a fact that Boruto just lost his position as a ninja, but he has to keep his focus in order for the village to be restored while Sasuke attempts to rescue Naruto.

Naruto's Continuous Journey

For the uninitiated, the story of Naruto was previously published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump for 700 chapters. It centers the life of a young Naruto, a ninja who has a demon sealed within him. One of the things fans love about Naruto is the fact that he is strong-willed, even at a young age, and his determination to be the future Hokage of the Leaf Village.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is the continuation of Naruto's story, but it happens many years after the events of the original Naruto story. It stars the offspring of the many main characters, including Naruto and Hinata.

Boruto has made it to the list of TV Tokyo's Top 5 Anime in terms of profits and sales. The popular anime has seen the success that the whole franchise still holds a top spot in many rankings. Manga copies of the series have been sold 235 million times and counting worldwide.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has become a household name to many anime fans, thanks partly to its familiar timeslot, which its predecessor Naruto: Shippuden had before it ended.
