'Boruto Naruto' is a planned spin-off film based on the characters created by Masashi Kishimoto. The project may be cancelled indefinitely due to the creation of a new anime adaptation for 'Naruto Shippuden: True Legend of Itachi' set to air in March 2016.
According to Movie News guide, the planned spin-off film following the success of full feature film 'Boruto: Naruto The Movie' may be cancelled due to another impending project that may potentially cause scheduling conflict.

Another article by Bit Bag reported that 'True Legend of Itachi' will explore the story of Sasuke Uchiha's late older brother Itachi. The original manga was split into two. The first part, 'The True Legend of Itachi: Glory', followed a young Itachi who joined the Ninja Academy in hopes to train to become the first Uchiha clan member to reach the Hokage level.
The second part of the two-part manga, "The True Legend of Itachi: Dark Night", told the story of Itachi's assassination mission to take out spies in order to join the ANBU. It also focused on the eventual massacre of the Uchiha clan massacre at the hands of Itachi with Sasuke as the only surviving clan member.
According to Anime News Network, author Takashi Yano released his two-part manga on September 4 and October 2, respectively. The 'True Legend of Itachi' novels, together with 'Sasuke Shinden', were the first two installments in the 'Naruto Shippuden' series.
