In the preview trailer for Episode 181, viewers get a glimpse of Naruto testing the prosthetic arm presented to him by Katasuke in the previous episode. Naruto powers up a Rasengan to counter Boruto’s Doppelganger attack. It will be interesting to see if Boruto would unleash his new High Compression Rasengan.

Meanwhile, Konohamaru and Mugino depart to investigate an airship crash near the border of the village. It is likely fans would witness a clash between Konohamaru, Mugino, and a Kara operative.
