 New Boruto Preview Introduces Konoha's Samurai Student

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has completed its epic Time Travel arc, leaving people wondering what's coming next for the anime that based on the previews for Boruto's next episode which seems we now have an answer and it's not necessarily a good one. The Boruto anime has been run down for giving fans to much filler content, and it looks to be returning to that same playbook for the next story arc. However, while the next Boruto episodes seem to leave Boruto, Naruto, and the core set of characters behind, it will also introduce a new character  not a shinobi, but rather, a samurai.
 

The preview for Boruto episode 137 tells us that this female samurai character, Tsubaki Kurogane, comes to Konoha as a replacement for Boruto's Class Rep, Sumire Kakei. At the end of the lackluster "Jugo Arc" Sumire decided to abandon her shinobi training, after Boruto's speech about becoming who they really want to be in life inspired her to become part of the Scientific Ninja Tool team. That has left Sumire's Team 15 teammates Wasabi and Namida in serious need of a third  but it looks like Tsubaki will be a far cry from the meek and shy personality of Sumire.

As teased, Tsubaki hails from The Land of Iron, and her early impression is that shinobi are not worth her respect. As we hear Tsubaki say, "I have no intention of becoming friends with shinobi. Since it seems the shinobi in this village are good-for-nothings with no conviction!"
