Episode overview
Episode 141
Team 7 is given some sort of prisoner protection mission. Initially, Boruto and Mitsuki are sent to Houzuki Castle to fetch a former member of the Mujina Bandits named Kokuri. Houzuki Castle serves as a criminal containment facility in Kusagakure.
Houzuki Castle, literally meaning Demon Lantern castle was featured in Naruto the Movie: Blood Prison. Boruto and Mitsuki’s task is to keep Kokuri safe from possible assassination inside the Houzuki Castle. They are later followed by Sarada and the new mission for team 7 begins.
Episode 142
In order to accomplish the task at hand, Boruto and Mitsuki enter the containment facility. Their first objective is to be in the same holding cell as Kokuri. However, the challenge is getting past through the warden, Penga.
Out of frustration, Boruto seeks the help of Doragu, who is some sort of a gang leader inside the prison. To obtain intel from Doragu, Boruto and his friends have to undergo a test of guts that no other prisoner has ever fulfilled before.
Details about episode 143 will follow in the coming days.

I am a university teacher who can't get enough of anime and manga. My class' group names are based on my favorite characters, especially from One Piece. I read manga or watch anime every chance I have. I started reading manga just a few years back and I was hooked the first day. I usually follow fan pages and am consistently given a Top Fan Badge. I also love baking and cake decorating and trying to make anime-themed cake designs.
