Based on the preview of Boruto episode 283, Sakura will be introduced in this episode.

Sakura's importance in this arc cannot be overstated, as we will witness her advance from delivering messages to obtaining keys to making substantial breakthroughs.
A quick recap of the previous episode
Boruto episode 282, titled Sasuke Retsuden: Infiltration, began with a flashback to Sasuke's time at Redaku, which he was reminded of while looking for Kara's victims. Redaku is portrayed as a kingdom in disarray after its King's death and the ensuing famine. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is shown to have assumed command.
In this episode, Sasuke decided to go to the Tartar Observatory, where Hagoromo's records could still remain, after finding that Naruto had the same ailment as the Sage of Six Paths. Sasuke had to enter Tartar as a prisoner as it is now a detention center where inmates are forced to construct a massive telescope.
Soon after, he learned of Meno, the curious and highly hostile dragon-beast who maintains order in Tartar, and his master, Zansul, the Director of the Observatory, on whom genjutsu does not work since his eyes are made of glass.
The story being adapted is really fascinating, and if done properly, as the illustrator has done with his manga version, it will be extremely well received. However, based on the first episode of the arc, the pace is too fast, and the adaptation has omitted a lot of meaningful details.
