Many Boruto fans feel like the Mujina Bandits Arc is the Naruto spin-off's weakest arc, but a character introduced during that time could play a major role in Boruto's upcoming time skip. In fact, the time skip is what makes this character's hypothetical role so exciting. In the Mujina Bandits Arc, Boruto serves as a bodyguard for and soon befriends a spoiled rich kid named Tento who eventually gets captured by the storyline's eponymous antagonists. The whole affair seemed like a major step down at the time, especially after the Otsutsuki invasion. But the relationship the two characters form and especially Tento's dream are the perfect ingredients for an incredible follow-up story.
