Kawaki is enrolled as a new student in the Ninja Academy, along with Himawari and her friends.

The official synopsis of "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" Episode 261 is out now on TV Tokyo. Kawaki's admission is just a façade as he is on a mission.

A foreign exchange student named Princess Yukiwari Kae is also attending the academy and Kawaki is on a secret escort mission to protect her from any untoward incident or attack.

Naruto has asked him to be part of the mission and Kawaki has no choice but to start attending the academy with the juniors.

Kawaki notices that all his classmates and his homeroom teacher have peculiar behaviors. Since Kawaki doesn't do well in the "cooperation department," he is set to have a tough time with his fellow classmates.
