Naruto: Konoha's Story—The Steam Ninja Scrolls: The Manga is the manga adaptation of the light novel of the same name. It features Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy, accompanied by Asuna Sarutobi's daughter, Mirai Sarutobi.

When the Academy was closed to prepare for the Five Kage Summit, Kakashi and Guy decided to take a rare vacation together. Given how Might Guy was in a wheelchair and Kakashi was the 6th Hokage, Naruto assigned them a bodyguard, Mirai Sarutobi.

While Kakashi and Gut were only visiting a hot spring to relax, given how she was assigned a mission with two of Konoha's veterans, Mirai misunderstood the mission as S-ranked. Thus, she behaves accordingly, not knowing what is set to hit her.

If fans of the series do not want to wait until all the manga chapters are released, they can choose to read the light novel Konoha Shinden: Steam Ninja Scrolls by Masashi Kishimoto and Sho Hinata. The story has also received an anime adaptation in episodes 106 to 119 of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
