Just to refresh your memory, Naruto is a shonen manga that narrates the life of an orphan boy who lives in the hidden village of the Leaf.
Due to the fact that a demon was sealed in his body, he was abandoned by his fellow village members. Determined to become a respected Hokage(the head of the village), he enrols in his village ninja school. Even if he is not quite bright and each time people make fun of him, he embarks on a long journey of his life.
The Shinobi-zato Park features elements from both Naruto and Boruto that’s why it’s called Naruto and Boruto theme park. Boruto series is a sequel to Naruto but instead follows the adventure of Boruto son of Naruto many years later.
