OG DB is overrated and you'd know that if you read the fricking manga and not regurgitated reddit opinions.
The best arc in OG DB is the Piccolo Daimao arc has nothing on Freeza Saga which is not even the best Z arc - I obviously mean Saiyan Saga.
I’ve been introduced to Star Wars recently from a friend and we saw them in release order (IV, V, VI, I ,II, III). II has been the biggest piece of shit I’m debating not even finishing it. i was very tolerant of I despite all the jar jar shit. luke’s arc was just pure kino IV being my fav. Not even gonna think about the new ones post disney
If it helps Jar Jar was going to turn out to be a badass master evil sith pretending to be an annoying frick just to mess with everyone and hide in plain sight. I have no idea why they walked it back because he was super unpopular since making him incredibly annoying was the point. If they revealed he was actually suave and smart and sinister as shit it would have redeemed the character a lot.
>equal piles of shit
Nope, not even fricking close. I know how much people bought in into the Dragon Ball hype, but you legit don't have the same quality of story telling in DBS as you have in Boruto.
And the fact that you can flip both right now and tell right away which one has stakes and is trying to tell you a story and which one had another reset and you can't tell what the frick is going on, is a example of what I'm talking about.
>Filler
You can read the entire manga in one day. You don't have to suffer through the anime fillers.
But I'm not trying to sell you shit, if you endured Naruto to the end you've suffered enough.
If Naruto ended at Kaguya I would be too calling everything past Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi a dream.

You're clearly not a Naruto fan if you don't get what I'm saying.
I have a real concern for the state of this series and much like every normal joe out there, hated the guts of these Ootsutuski characters when they were first introduced. In fact, I think the entire ninja war is mediocre as frick and it made for bad videogames too.
I was never into the idea that Naruto should've ended at Pain because obviously, there would be a ton of loosing ends, but this story is text book example of why authors need breaks to come up with good writing.
And yes, I think Boruto is better writen than most of what Shippuden was. I don't care what Swagkage thinks the dude is a powerscaler moron.
And it all fits into the space between Buu and EoZ.
>And it all fits into the space between Buu and EoZ.
Which is 10 years. DBS starts like 6 years after the Buu Arc though, or else Pan wouldn't be able to be 4 years old by the time in which the 23rd WT happens like she's supposed to.
It's a mess. You're supposed to believe that the entirety of DBS (5 arcs in the anime, DBSB, DBSSH and let's include the 2 manga original arcs for the heck of it) happened in the span of 4 years basically.
Pre-timeskip takes place over several months. Post-timeskip so far is around 2 months (Luffy arriving on Sabaody and Fishman Island are all one day, Punk Hazard is day 2, Dressrosa is day 3, they leave on day 5, they arrive at Zou on day 10, WCI ends around 10 days later (maybe less, I forget the time it takes to travel there), the raid on Onigashima at Wano is 1 month after that due to the full moon, they stay in Wano for about a week after, and now they're on Egghead. Only about 2 months have passed in the past 13 years, and Luffy went from his training with Reyleigh to Emperor.
it could be decent if it was released seasonally when they had something to show, but what the frick were they thinking making this a weakly anime where like fricking 90% of it is filler
Was doomed from the start.
End-game Naruto was casually better at unarmed than guy with all gates, better at healing than Tsunade (but who wasn't lmao, 'best' medical ninja in the world casually beaten by a dead guys cells), etc, you have to make really moronic asspulls to threaten someone that stupidly strong, guy healed a many years long missing eye with 1 touch
Naruto got a lot of toys to play with but he lost all of them. In Boruto he admits that he has absolutely no talent for healing jutsu. The 'healing' that he did for Guy and Kakashi was brute force reality warping via yang release.
>naruto is the military leader. Not the president.
Kishimoto blueballed everyone by not exploring the Daimyos or political situation of the great powers.
>Kishimoto blueballed everyone by not exploring the Daimyos or political situation of the great powers.
no he did us a favor thank god. we dont need more bad writing just because something needs to be filled. I'd rather take a dull void.
Seriously, what the actual frick is that about? Naruto was a fricking orphan living on the barest fricking stipend possible and acted out because it was the only way anyone would actually engage with him instead of just shunning him, even if they were pissed off. Meanwhile, Boruto has both parents, the wealth of the Hyuga clan, half a dozen secret techniques and bloodline powers that other ninja would literally kill for, and he feels like he got the short straw because his dad has to work late being the fricking President of Konoha?
Yes, children are brats. Him acting out is entirely realistic. Naruto not just sending in clones to do all the paper work, or maybe having any fricking employees, is the dumb part.
You're correct, but to be fair I'd get pissy too if I knew that my father could make a thousand copies of himself to do any job that the Hokage needed to do on the daily, but still claims that he doesn't have any time for his wife and children.
That is an entirely realistic way for a child to act. The things you mentioned really only come into play once you're a power hungry adult, as a kid he just wants to spend time with his dad. We as adults can't comprehend that and just look to the power afforded at him that we wish we had, and his child like priorities not reflecting ours makes him seem ungrateful.
No, it makes him seem like the fricking epitome of every douchebag rich kid who has literally everything and has never experienced anything even remotely considered a struggle his entire life, but acts like a complete wienerhole because his dad (who is not only still alive, but loves him dearly) can't come home from the office before nine.
A kid wants to piroritize spending time with his dad over using his inherited riches to buy expensive cars and frick b***hes. That doesn't make him a douchebag, it makes him a kid.
I remember early Boruto material where his issue was that he received little personal recognition for his achievements, instead having most of it being attributed to being the child of his parents. Being able to use three elements wasn't because of his own skill and effort, it was because "He's the Hokage's son". But he is more naturally gifted than Naruto was, and because of this, things that do require a lot of effort he ends up giving up on and resorting to shortcuts. Konoha's science division creates technology that allows them to store jutsus, and Boruto figures "Why bother learning techniques myself when I can just use this?". But the villain, Momoshiki, ends up being a representation of this mindset, and even though he has pure godlike power, he ends up being defeated because he lacks the experience to deal with Boruto's vanishing Rasengan.
I actually really like a lot of the ideas used in Boruto. Kawaki as a character manages to hit all the right notes. He's a long term abuse victim who ends up recognizing and responding to Naruto's unconditional love. Knowing that Boruto is a ticking time bomb for a planet-harvesting demigod and that Naruto has been severely depowered, he ends up choosing to become the bad guy to save Naruto. I empathize with this character so much more than Sasuke and his edgelord "I'm ready to murder all my friends who like 8 year old me unknowingly benefited from my family being murdered by my brother so as to avert a world war". Like holy frick the Uchiha were bad. Kawaki on the other hand is just pragmatic and even somewhat justified in doing what he's doing, it's nothing personal to Boruto who he sees as a brother.
This is why i was never interested in watching this shit. Imagine Lion King where Mufasa doesn't die and you just watch Simba getting raised with all the friends and priveleges of the king with trivial threats from time to time.
Bigger what. Boruto is the most miserable a character in this series has ever been. He's attempted suicide and even succeeded dying once, because of the alien downloading himself onto his body.
I maintain that introducing alien lifeforms like the Otsustsuki into the series was a dumb idea. Kind of a problem when introducing villains in a shonen series. You have to top the last villain in the series or they don't appear as a threat.
That was first few chapters. I think they fix that a little bit but not by much. Though, I think the anime was the first to start fixing that. That plot point doesn't make sense given who Naruto was. You'd think he'd learn to be their for his family given how he lost his but I guess they needed to force drama from somewhere.

>Naruto is such a shitty father due to being so busy as hokage
This is so stupid and artificial. In the Original Series he was shitting out Shadow Clones left and right. And in the 4th Ninja World War Naruto sent a bunch of clones to various fronts across the world to fight the strongest resurrected ninjas while the original was also fighting. One of the clones was also using Kurama Chakra Mode (pic related). And now in Boruto he can't sustain a single clone just because he was tired? It's bullshit. He did everything above at the same time and that is definitely more tiring than running around the village doing tasks or doing paper. The only did this because they wanted an early conflict between the new main character and the old one. This whole thing makes no fricking sense.
There’s a scene where they’re celebrating a birthday and boruto gets pissed off because naruto sends a shadow clone in his stead because he’s too busy at work. He ruins his little sister’s birthday celebration by dispelling it and making a huge b***h-out fuss over it

This is the only thing I still remember about Boruto.
It was so fricking stupid and forced I immediately felt like dropping the series.
>can shadow clones think and talk?
Did you even watch or read Naruto?
Not as a villain!
No one could guess that he was going to be revived, let alone that he was banking on Obito to do it through a series of complicated hoops.
I'm sorry, not even that. He planted a seal in Obito's heart to do it and.... Yeah time to turn your brain off because this part is moronic. If anything this was a character assassination because Madara's era was great. imo
>No one could guess that he was going to be revived
That was a plottwist and mystery. The whole "who is the man under the mask" was apart of this. It was 100% better than the Zetsu betraying Madara and having Kaguya show up. Another dumb thing was the Obito redemption thing.
>That was a plottwist and mystery. The whole "who is the man under the mask" was apart of this. It was 100% better than the Zetsu betraying Madara and having Kaguya show up. Another dumb thing was the Obito redemption thing.
To me the problem isn't him being a villain as much as it is how he got there. And I have no problem with his introduction as an Edo, that part was kino. Him being this much involved with the current events of the story he was inserted in was what I thought to be bad.
They even got as far as telling he was controlling Rin iirc. Madara had no business being this evil.
>Did you even watch or read Naruto?
Bahahahahaha no. I'm not a loser, anon. Shounen is all the same predictable garbage with cringe annoying loudmouth protagonist.
>can shadow clones think and talk?
Yes, but all intents and purposes, they are exactly like the original. When dispelled, all the chakra flows back to you with all the memories the clone had.
Its explained in the very start of Shippuden. Naruto used this to learn Rasenshuriken in record speed as he had thousands of clones training at the same time. Itachi also used shadow clones during his time in the academy while the real was training somewhere else.
Regardless, Boruto shits on all of that and Naruto suddenly can't be at 2 places at once.
He doesn't use the clones to do all his work because he thinks it would be cheating and he wouldn't actually deserve to be hokage. Which is why sending a clone to his kids birthday is even more fricked up since he views his family as a lesser job that he can just half ass
Pretty sure that Naruto doesn't use shadow clones while outside his house is so that no leaf ninja throw their lives away mistakenly to protect a shadow clone hokage, since people did die for his clones in the fourth ninja war.
the point of the series is Boruto is being an unreasonable brat and Naruto is having difficulty connecting with him during it. The movie, the series, and the manga are all pretty clear that Boruto is being childish and unreasonable in his treatment of Naruto and it's just basic rebellion. the point of the opening arc is Boruto discovering just how hard his dad had it and accepting that hes been a prick to his dad for no reason.
The one thing I agreed on with Boruto was that it was a shit move to send a clone to Himawari's birthday.
And while you're right that Boruto was being unreasonable it wasnt entirely unfounded. Naruto did have to make a little time for his family (which he did)
In the end, all Boruto really wanted was for Naruto to play the ninja equivalent of catch with him, and maybe have lunch once in a while. The opening arc was a lesson for both of them.
From the outside it def looks insensitive for naruto to send a clone, but it's important to remember when a clone pops all that experience and memory returns to the original. from naruto's perspective he was genuinely there, and most of the time he doesn't seem to differentiate himself from the other clones outside of tactics. Himawari seems more disappointed about the party being ruined than naruto not being there.

Considering Konoha won the ninja world war and all the villages are in peace with each other Naruto can simply appoint some bureaucrat to rubber stamp whatever stupid papers he needs to be signing all day and go frick around and spend time with friends and family.
Like what the frick is he even working on all day? I haven't seen the other hokage do any kind of actual office work at any time or the other kage either.
Point is, he promised to be there. Yes, i know how his clones work but its not the same.
Also, just how is Naruto so damn busy? Sarutobi was strolling around the village half of the time.
It's a stretch but maybe the point is to highlight that even though he's got the power to be capable of being hokage, he's still just as bad at paperwork as when he was a kid.
But that doesn't really work because he has Shikamaru as his right hand man and he excels at things like that AND Naruto is pretty clever when it comes to utilizing his clones but all of a sudden he doesn't use them for every day life in which they would be incredibly useful, not to mention give him more time to do other things, but maybe that would make his title feel pointless as he would just have the title but shy away from all the administrative responsibilities of it.

>he's still just as bad at paperwork as when he was a kid.
Perhaps having the strongest ninja be the head of the village instead of a proper administrator is a bad idea?
the village grew a lot due to globalization. Its literally at the center. So hes definitely busy as frick.
To be honest it doesnt even fricking make any sense because theres a daimyo. The kages/hidden villages are only supposed to be there for military reasons
They tried so hard with gaiden to flush out the last of hte OP shit and set up the next generation for a bit lower stakes.
And then wouldn't you know it, they just reneg on the whole thing and we're right back to powerlevel nonsense. I hate it.
I liked that arc about the evil businessman, that was exactly what I was hoping for more of. LOW Stakes.
In the manga they had a good 3 arcs of just expositiondump, basically kaguya, the surprise villain from the end of the original series was an alien, and now her race are the bigbads but they're all like ghosts or some shit so they infect you like a parasite and turn the person into one of them over time. That's where we are now. Boruto just got the gash over his eye that we saw in the chapter 1 flash forward.
I wonder if the end game of Boruto is going to be an inter-cosmic war between the Earth ninjas and moon ninjas ending in a peace treaty where they all live happily ever after immediately following the death of Naruto and Sasuke.
No because they're not even just from the moon, they're literally intergalactic.
kishi is still. STILL asspained that samurai 8 fricking flopped, so he's trying to less than subtly incorporate elements from it like the space garbage.
Endgame is just going to depend on if they continue on with the otsutsuki bullshit, or the CODE bullshit. Or, god forbid, they introduce ANOTHER bigbad that supercedes both of them.
Right now it's looking like boruto is about to build up to a fight with kawaki, we see what happens in the first chapter, naruto (probably) gets released from spacejail, then boruto loses himself to the otsutsuki, but somehow they find a cure to relieve him of their influence but he keeps all of their power because lmao, then another otsutsuki slides in from the intergalactic outer rim or some shit.
They'll always find some other way to increase the power level shit.
Just like at Dragon Ball Z. They went from fighting space alien conquerors, to super powered androids, to whatever Majin Buu is, to now literal gods. Naruto could pull the same shit.
Obviously, but my point is, they can increase it because we STILL don't know what the frick code is, it's just a group of people who wanted to transfer the power of one otsutsuki over, they failed, but whatever his name is, smokerman, found a way to revive his daughter and use human sacrifices as vessels for revival with the otsutsuki process.
We don't know what the frick the otsutsuki want besides to eat the planet and take back the chakra they put into it. But neither of those are anything they've explored beyond having filler characters die to exposit them. I mean, they're clearly leaning more on code, we have the teleportation man with his edgelord claws, and then highschool girl who wants to frick kawaki.
I just found out the other week that 80% of the series is filler. So theres like 280 episodes and only like 70 are canon. They also fight dinosaurs which I thought wasn't canon but I just saw a manga page of so that might be canon
Why didn’t they just go back to being ninas. Go on missions, strategize with teams, explore the lands, avoid conflicts, learn new jutsus. It was that simple. Just give me the game where I can do all that with my donut steel
Can you blame a Japanese mangaka for catering towards those morons?
I mean it became popular in the West because of those morons.
I bet there is a ton of manga in Japan that gets it right at the cost of getting no spotlight
>the publisher wringing this shit for all its worth?
It started as this and then turned into the former. Kishimoto wasn't even involved with Boruto at first besides being a supervisor. He took over as the writer after he realized he was a one hit wonder when his next series, Samurai 8, flopped and didn't even make it a full year before getting cancelled.
The only moronic shits are the failed abortions that don't understand sasuke is literally moronic and the only reason he wasn't fricking lynched was naruto's gay love for him.
It's meant to piss you off at sasuke's expense. Everything he does is to piss you off. EVERY other uchiha did everything they could to set him up for success in the face of literal genocide, and he STILL fricked it up. Itachi was literally a better saviour of the clan from beyond his god damned grave.
Sasuke got SO much more exposure and attention early on in the series that kishimoto literally wrote him into being an irredeemable c**t shortly thereafter
I think if that were the case, then Kishimoto wouldn't have made every girl that Sasuke betrayed and/or tried to kill at some point still blindly love him. Sakura should have told him to frick off years ago.
>just learned the slaughter of his clan was not by his brother like he thought but was actually ordered by the government as a way to prevent a civil war to which his brother was used as a scapegoat >brother was ordered to enact genocide on their clan on the sole condition he was allowed to live to which the entire blame was placed on his brother just so the government could save face >"nooooo, why didn’t he just follow Itachi’s wishes and go back crawling to Konoha?"
morons like you never cease to surprise me, especially given how Itachi was more than willing to brainwash his little bro to protect the village against his will.
Tell me WHAT Sasuke did wrong apart from killing a single fricking samurai at Five Kage summit.
All he did was leave the village, SPARED everyone who tried to stop him, kill THREE S-rank criminals Konoha was already hunting. He was a fricking hero at that point in time and he canonically didn't kill a single person under Orochimaru. After that he learned Konoha tricked him and his entire family so he got pissed off and seeked revenge. After that he calmed down, talked with the Hokages, chilled the frick down, killed ANOTHER S-rank criminal helping the war effort and stopped Madara and Obito from winning the war. Absolutely nobody knew of Sasuke's plan other than Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi and none of them snitched on him. His actual list of crimes is just that one fricking samurai and crashing the Five Kage Summit and even that is vindicated by the circumstances. Absolute peanuts compared to helping the Alliance win the war and hunting multiple uber dangerous criminals that were on the run for years. >inb4 hurr durr he killed 6th Hokage candidate Danzo
I'm surprised Tsunade didn't personally thank him for ridding the village of that fricking idiot who alongside Hiruzen turned the ninja world into the shithole it was before actual competent leaders turned the entire ninja world into a tech utopia where children didn't have to randomly die during chuunin exams.
Even fricking Tobirama, literally the CEO of uchiha racism in Naruto world, has taken Sasuke's side.
>Tell me WHAT Sasuke did wrong
He had already redeemed himself by helping to beat Madara in the ninja war. And then, when it is finally over he becomes a sperg again and literally wants to take over the world himself. That was moronic and ruined his character.
And all that just so we could have a Naruto vs Sasuke final fight.
it closely mirrors real life, they are too valuable as a resource/tool to fall into the hands of another village/country. see operation paperclip and the us' dealings with japan's section 731
That was before he got eye hax even more stupidly moronic than pain. Post Madara there is nobody who had the power to hold Sasuke accountable for his crimes
The only moronic shits are the failed abortions that don't understand sasuke is literally moronic and the only reason he wasn't fricking lynched was naruto's gay love for him.

Reading through the storytime made me realize that a lot of Naruto is really fricking boring without someone like Sasuke to drive the plot forward.
Tobirama really fricked over the Leaf in the long run. They were a great military asset. They also got unlucky. Minato probably would have easied the situation but he died so early on. It was pretty much over by than.
Daily reminder that Hiruzen was the worst Hokage. >The Uchiha Clan were massacred. Hiruzen did nothing to stop the primary instigator who made peace impossible (Danzo) >The Hygua-Kumo affair, wherein a Kumo nin came into the village and attempted to kidnap Hinata. Her father protected her by killing the kidnapper. Hiruzen responded by sacrificing a Hinata's uncle to Kumo, even though Kumo was 100% in the wrong >Hiruzen allowed Orochimaru, the human experimenting, child murdering, unit 741 tier monster to escape >Hiruzen allowed Danzo to get away with attempting to assassinate him >Hiruzen did nothing as the Uchiha were moved to the ghetto and spied on by Danzo >Hiruzen allowed Sasuke to grow up in his home. The same home where his family and the other fricking hundred Uchiha were murdered >Hiruzen let Naruto, a CHILD, raise himself >Hiruzen allowed Konoha to psychologically, verbally, and mentally abuse Naruto >Hiruzen allowed his two best ninja (Jiraya and Tsunade) to go AWOL
Orochimaru is a very weird villain. Every one knows he is evil and immortal. Every one knows he eats children, steals corpses, creates criminal organizations and use forbidden spells, but literally NO ONE gets rid of him.

Bullshit excuse. He went low because there was 2 semi-gods roaming the world and now immortal god-aliens are also attacking the planet.
He turned into a average Joe, but he is still pretty much full blown evil and would return to his evil ways given the chance
He was evil because he was not immortal. Once he stacked enough death-defying contingencies that he could persist in the physical world no matter what he chilled out and pursues his passion of knowledge. Definitely one of the best character growths in the series.
Are characters like Orochimaru just an unintentionally fricked up allegory for people casually excusing war crimes as long as some half decent medical research comes out of it? Is it a matter of cultural differences?
Bleach did the same thing, introducing cartoonishly monstrous people, and then just sort of ignoring their horrible crimes and letting them go because they do something useful every now and then.

>Talk about Naruto games you like then dumbass
NTA, but I wish there was something to talk about.
I wish the trailer for Storm Connections was juicier, that it showed tasty stuff that actually invites you to hope and dream about the things that maybe CC2 will do this time and that while they should have, didn't do back in Storm 3 and later.
But the trailer was trash, plain and simple. A mishmash of cutscenes and shots from the 4 mainline Storm games, and 5 seconds of footage of the original Hashirama/Naruto and Madara/Sasuke that no one really asked for instead of updates to existing characters or anyone that is more interesting like the 7SM who, again, we should have gotten all the way back in Storm 3 but did not.
CC2 is a washed out company, they can't do better.
Asura's Wrath was the last time they put any effort into a game.
I guess, those games with the dogs count too but they were far too indie to be called effort.
why develop the technology for a gun when throwing a literal toothpick can puncture steel panels, or throwing a knife can split a tree in half, or some kid can generate a fricking explosive magic ball that teleports forward and then fricking explodes
Naruto timeline is FRICKED. Think for a second, Tsunade is granddaughter to the FIRST hokage. The Madara shit and the village wars is barely 100 years old.
Hashirama used his stupidly powerful regeneration until his telomeres ran out and his body frayed at the cellular level. No specific enemy took him out, it was accelerated aging.
>SoL kino
Burrito for some reason has fricking god-tier SoL. Give me more awkward dad Sasuke, doting uncle Gaara, Hiwamari becoming friends with Shukaku and more.
No it isn't. And if it is the hiatus is gonna tank the already abysmal manga sales. That leads to cancelation and Pierrot is stuck with an unfinshed series until they decide to end it as well.
One Piece is a garbage manga with no redeeming qualities.
Both Luffy and Boruto died around the same time. One was to introduce what is easily the most disgusting retcon One Piece had, and the other was just to show you Boruto had a strong resolve and trust towards his adopted brother.
Bro, if low sales are a parameter to bring quality to a series then by all fricking means, One Piece needs to start to tank hard.

Luffy is now some God being and is dragging other fruit users to also somehow have new unlocked power ups in their fruits.
At least Kishi had the balls to remove Sasuke and Naruto's God powers out of the story. If this happened to Goku the fans would disown him and wank the next strongest character.
>That leads to cancelation and Pierrot is stuck with an unfinshed series until they decide to end it as well
Why? Boruto was an original work started by SP, the manga was just a lazy cash grab follow up to the story.
Boruto ain't Part 3 so you're wrong. >Also the series has a whole has been profitable.
digital sales and foreign sales and merch are why. The manga is has flopped already. And the hiatus will just make it worse.
I'm terribly sorry that you think this low about the latest part of Shippuden.

Look up "Kakashi Mr ukki" instead.
Notice that small tree is the exact same shape has the juubi tree.
That's all well and good but the alien shit is the issue. Nothing you say will convince me that's it was a good idea or that it made sense.

I'm trying to convince you that it was hamfisted IN NARUTO.
When I started reading Boruto I was also hopping all of it was just a part of Madara's infinite tsukuyomi along with Kaguya.
Then I actually got into Boruto and started to understand that there, at least is an attempt to tell a story that makes sense. Especially coming from the bundled mess Kishi created at the end of Naruto.

The problem is that even Madara, and Zetsu, don't make any sense.
Madara is just what Kaguya is on a smaller scale. It's a stupid retconning villain that is only brought up to life to show you someone else other than Obito was pulling the strings. It's exactly like that meme pic with all the Naruto villains puppeteering each others.
I don't care is Boruto gets canceled or retconned into just being a spinoff, nothing will change the fact that Naruto's EoS made all the damage to the series.

Please don't remind me. And still, I'd say a retcon is preferable, even if it's a big one.
They're all shit though? Nami started out decent but got worse and worse as time went on and Orihime was never anything but an actual moron that was just meant to be saved and maybe a heal bawd sometimes
Sarada being Karen's and Sakura still raising her was the only genuinely interesting thing Baruto had going for it and they killed it dead to appease shippers and fanservice gays
>Naruto Shippuden >"Well, it was all alien(s) with Buddha robes. All of it. From part 1 to now. You rike?"
Fans lapped it up.
>Boruto
"Well, it's aliens but there's more to it and they aren't just some china shit, there's an actual biological reason behind them."
Fans somehow hate this.
The chuunin exams ended like 5 years ago. Hell the Boruto movie was years earlier than that. But a lot of people still believe Boruto is still a spoiled brat who hates his dad.
He never even hated Naruto which he made clear in a talk he had with Mitsuki. He's just pissed at him that, after being Hokage, he suddenly stopped spending time with his kids especially with Himawari. It's a very realistic problem of a kid not understanding what his dad is going through and rebelling because of it and a dad who focuses too much on his job and failing to understand what his child is going through because he never had parents who raised him.
The chuunin exam arc ended with both of them having a meaningful talk and resolving their issues. Boruto learns to appreciate Naruto and is content with watching him and learning more from his past while Naruto tries to to spend more with his family realizing that he doesn't need to help the village 24/7.
Totally artificial. Naruto has done more tiring things and he didn't collapse from exhaustion. That "conflict" doesn't make any sense. >The chuunin exams ended like 5 years ago. Hell the Boruto movie was years earlier than that. But a lot of people still believe Boruto is still a spoiled brat who hates his dad.
Yea because a lot of folks dropped Boruto not long afterwards.
It's not like Kishimoto/Shueisha would say no to if someone asked for the license. Bamco is being lazy as frick with this latest game as well. CC2 needs to make an anime crossover fighting game and not let the homosexuals at Spike Chudsoft make it again and fail for the 3rd time in a row.
nothing bort can ever do will top pic related. the biggest walk back in all the big shounen manga. at least dbz has undo bad thing mechanics tied to the name of the fricking series so you can expect them. nardo has no excuse, especially when the get out of death card has only been used twice for equally fan serviced reasons
The fact that people dan disupte whether or not it's canon is proof he can shitcan the whole thing any time he wants. He only get involved after the film because his pet project bombed.
To shitcan Boruto he also has to do the same to Kaguya.
And to me it seems kind of obvious that there has been an attempt to connect Boruto to Samurai 8. That's another thing you can connect by reading Boruto.
>To shitcan Boruto he also has to do the same to Kaguya.
Sounds good to me. Retcon all of it. It's not like Boruto, Sarada etc as person can't exist or anything.
Sure, if you're willing to accept that then, Naruto was canceled in 2011/12. Making everything from the past decade just a waste of everyone's time and effort.
But then what, would you trust them to write something better? What exactly would be better, Sasuke going Eren Yeager at Konoha? You're just going to uncover more flaws in this story lmao
>Sasuke going Eren Yeager at Konoha?
Kek no. Madara as the final boss is enough. That was supposed to happen until Kaguya popped outta nowhere. Retcon can only happen if Kishimoto continues the original manga and starts part 3. As much as I'd like that it'll probably never happen. So we're stuck with Boruto. Well, maybe not for long.

Not as a villain!
No one could guess that he was going to be revived, let alone that he was banking on Obito to do it through a series of complicated hoops.
I'm sorry, not even that. He planted a seal in Obito's heart to do it and.... Yeah time to turn your brain off because this part is moronic. If anything this was a character assassination because Madara's era was great. imo
Obito was always going to be Kakashi's lost friend from the start. That is the only bit of the story that was planned ahead and made sense.
Madara and Zetsu are almost just as much last hour introductions as Kaguya was.
I bet Zetsu was just going to be a regular Akatsuki member at some point.
>hype up Sumire as a core character >goes nowhere >hype up Mizuki, give him sage mode, an interesting backstory and connection to Orochimaru >gets shafted like a MOTHERFRICKER >sort of have Sarada linger around cause muh sharingan >do fricking nothing with her
>introduce Kawaki as Sasuke 2 >tease a very interesting shift in dynamic where Boruto fears his power the same way the villagers feared Naruto in his youth, and Kawaki the son Naruto never knew he wanted >shaft it, now they're both best friends
Every time the show has something interesting going for it, it self-destructs. Truly Narutos sequel.
The only characters who matter are Boruto(Naruto) and Kawaki (Sasuke), and everyone else just falls to the wayside while they fight over ideals but eventually Kawaki gives up because Boruto won't leave him alone.
The manga would be the kinoest if Kishi just said
"Yeah, that part where Madara activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Everything past that is a dream".
But life is made of small concessions, so I just embraced Boruto for what it is and tried to enjoy the series on it's own.
The generals they have on Ganker are extremely welcoming, I loved visiting those threads.
Where the frick are Lee's parents, are they still alive? Is Lee an orphan? Who the frick is the mother of his child? Why does he look so much like Guy if they aren't even related?
He literally could not be allowed to live or else he would have saw that he was 100% right that hard work does not matter you are either a chosen one or you are useless.
i wonder at what point kishimoto decided to go "yeah you know what actually the ninja world we see in the series was founded by aliens and chakra is an alien invention that was spread around the world by the son of the alien b***h who tried to destroy the world"
what japanese myth has outer beings who travel the galaxy in search of planets to grow a murdertree that consooms all of the life on the planet to make an extra tasty delicious fruit full of chakra?
Not that specifically you autist, he just adapted the tale of Kaguya to fit the setting just like he adapted all the other names, concepts and terms to fit the setting.
I agree. I've no idea why so many shows/games feel the need to explain everything.
People wanted to know more about tailed beasts
The tailed beasts being good guys was the gaygiest shit ever. Shoulda kept them in a state where they could begrudgingly aid the jinchugays.

>feel the need to explain everything.
I digress. Naruto was always a world of hard magic and there is nothing wrong with that.
Since the very beginning they explained that chakra was some kind of energy that ran through your veins and you manipulated it somehow.
taking this opportunity to point out that is hilarious how boruto fans are geeking over one decent arc thats going to get animated to prove a point that their series isnt complete garbage
Aren't they like 200 episodes in? Even though shit poo damn wasn't great there was still a handful of excellent arcs/fights right from the beginning like the sasori fight, the fights with hidan and kakuzu. Fricking Boruto still has nothing.
Remember the time travel arc when Jiraiya got his ass kicked multiple times and only used like 1 rasengan and some stupid fireball-like jutsu. Not to mention the terrible animation.
Well then should we consider Boruto to be on episode 800 instead of 250, homosexual?

>Big brother is aloof for most of your childhood >Winds up murdering not just your family but clan as well >Repeatedly mind rapes you to try and get you to become stronger >Turns out it's because the village basically ordered him to do it >haha bro why do u hate the leaf lmao
Itachi didnt need to mind rape Sasuke but he needed him to be stronger. The village military would never provide him the tools to do so.
And Itachi wanted to die anyway so that Sasuke could have his eyes.
>short term
To kill Orochimaru, who wanted the sharingan to experiment on after letting the rinnegan slip away years ago. >long term
To deal with the akatsuki since they were accruing vast power that would crush the leaf village.
i could understand wanting to purge the government that allowed this to happen but wiping the slate clean and holding the world at gunpoint to be nice to eachother wouldn't work in the long term
Terrified that one of his children will steal the other's eyes for power, which has happened with consistency so far among the Uchiha.
When Sarada asked her parents about the mangekyo they shat a brick.
She might get eyes from one of the Shin clones, although their powers aren't the best. She could also get Itachi's eye.
Most likely though she applies medical ninjutsu to keep her eyes working without trading them.
Sasuke doesn't have his original eyes, one of Itachi's became the rinnegan and the remaining one is EMS. Sarada is technically compatible by being part of the same clan, but her chakra reserves don't make it ideal for her.
doesn't matter, they will get sharingan at some point and just switch themselves to being called uchiha
naruto is supposed to be namikaze
... Now that I think about it, it's kinda fricked up that he hasn't met with any Namikaze family members. Uzumaki is understandable since they are all mostly scattered and/or dead.
I watched about half of the episodes. The first arcs have good moments but it turns to shit later. Essentially it is very different in many ways, I would almost think of it as fanfic tier.
People accept that Madara plotted an 500IQ plan that involved lots and lots of moronic coincidences and cooperation.
This is somehow good writing.
Meanwhile Boruto, actually has been planned throughout since the start, it doesn't have any moronic bottlenecks in the story like the one I just explained. But people consider this a bad manga.
>le sales le sales
The only sales you should care about is the money that falls in your personal savings.
I'm not here to discuss sales, just to point out you're a massive fricking hipocrite if you blame Boruto for something Naruto handled far fricking worse.
Madara put a brain washing tag inside Obito, for God sake. This entire plot was being held by duck tape.

I thought he was Boruto because
ボルト = Bolt (which he wears around his neck) which is a reference to Neji which is Japanese for Screw, and also like a thunder/lightning bolt for the Yellow Flash.

Naruto are those little swirly things in ramen, that would have been obvious to any Japanese kid. A lot of the names are kind of generic in the series. >Hatake Kakashi = Field Scarecrow >Haruno Sakura = Spring cherry blossom trees >Uchiha = Uchiwa fans >Sasuke = Sarutobi Sasuke, famed fictional ninja and also the namesake for the third Hokage >Orochimaru / Jiraiya / Tsunade = names of three famous fictional ninja
It would be like if Naruto was made in the US, but the main character was named Pickle and loved eating burgers. The setting would be fictional colonial America, Pickle's rival would be George Musket, his female friend Apple Pye, his teacher Horse Carriage, his town leader Washington, the three legendary soldiers Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams.
Remember that Naruto was serialized in Shonen Jump, a magazine for preteen boys.

Sandshrew's name in Japanese is Sando (サンド), literally the word for sandwich.
Naruto had a lot of meddling from editors
The reason half the cast does nothing for the second half of the series is because they were supposed to die during the Sasuke retrieval arc but kishimoto was told not to because all the characters were popular
I wouldn't be surprised if it was like when editors were telling toriyama to create new villains because the current one isn't marketable during the androids/buu arcs
>when editors were telling toriyama to create new villains because the current one isn't marketable during the androids/buu arcs
It wasn't even his editor, it was his former editor, who's been with Toriyama since the start, that told him 19&20 looked like shit as villains, and later that 17&18 look like shit too.
Toriyama wasn't forced to do anything, but he took the input to heart both times. One of the Cell transformations getting shafted was his then current editor telling him to get through it quicker, cause it looked like shit though.
Remember when the jougan was introduced in the manga and the (at the time) mangaka said he had no fricking clue what it does or why toei wanted it in the series
Gave his splooge to Orochimaru who fertilized Karin's Uzumaki egg, then Orochimaru implanted the zygote into Sakura so that she could be her legal parent.
>Sasuke wanted to frick Naruto so badly he settled for his clan member via stealth
Is this like that guy who married Elvis's daughter because he wanted to frick Elvis?
Best thing about Boruto were the threads on Ganker was when Sarada got the DNA results saying Karin was her mother. One of the funniest shitstorms I'd seen in a grip.
>a fricking decade of dry humping alien lore >we still don't know shit about their home planet
You could watch a snail go around the world in this time span.
Someone should make a hokage simulator where you sit there and do paper work, occasionally tell Sasuke to go kill himself on a suicide mission and get yelled at by your children
I know the cuck shit probably spawned from Naruto betting raikage to spare Sasuke but was there ever a SINGLE scene in which the raikage was in the same frame as Hinata?
All the cuck porn was a coordinated attack on Hinata's character by Sakura fans. They ended up commissioning so much of it that Hinata has become an NTR icon.
Both gone forever. They were both probably gods at the end of shipoodan. Needed a reset else it would be boring if hidden leaf had two unstoppable junk yard dogs at their disposal
How does kurama die? I thought the tailed beasts just regenerate since they're sentient chakra masses. Also can't Naruto just resurrect his dad and take his half of kurama
He adopts Kawaki
Kawaki realizes what it's like to be unconditionally loved and ends up developing a deep devotion to Naruto who he believes is worth giving his life to protect
He develops a brotherly bond with Boruto even though he still acts standoffish
Kawaki loses his Karma, but feels an emptiness like he lacks the power to change things
Boruto's ayylmao further continues to take over him and Kawaki manages to reactivate his Karma without the ayylmao
Boruto and Kawaki mutually decide it's better for Boruto to die to save Naruto and potentially everyone else
Ayylmao gives up his chance to take over in an attempt to keep Boruto alive
Kawaki is upset because he feels like he failed, he must eliminate all the ayys to protect Naruto
Disagrees with the lifestyle of ninja, thinks Naruto's personality along with his line of work means he's destined to die early even if it's by giving his own life to save others
Kawaki admits to Naruto and Hinata his regret over Boruto surviving, tells them he'll face and accept whatever consequences including death for when he does succeed, even if it means destroying his relationships with everyone else, all so Naruto can be safe from the ayys
He traps them in a pocket dimension and goes to kill Boruto
Sarada arrives to stop the fighting but her Sakura genes kick in and Boruto loses his right eye to Kawaki in an attempt to protect her
Ayy reappears, gives a hesitant Kawaki the chance to escape
Not saying Naruto was the best but Boruto has the biggest pile of shit successor series I've seen.
DBS
Star War
DBS is better than Z.
DBS was not nearly as bad a successor as Boruto was. Not even close.
Z > DBS > OG > GT
Z and DBS also have the best movies.
>OG DB not on top
have a nice day
OG DB is overrated and you'd know that if you read the fricking manga and not regurgitated reddit opinions.
The best arc in OG DB is the Piccolo Daimao arc has nothing on Freeza Saga which is not even the best Z arc - I obviously mean Saiyan Saga.
Sincerely have a nice day
It’s weird that you don’t like OG more if Saiyan saga is your favorite. Cell is better by a little bit anyway though
I’ve been introduced to Star Wars recently from a friend and we saw them in release order (IV, V, VI, I ,II, III). II has been the biggest piece of shit I’m debating not even finishing it. i was very tolerant of I despite all the jar jar shit. luke’s arc was just pure kino IV being my fav. Not even gonna think about the new ones post disney
If it helps Jar Jar was going to turn out to be a badass master evil sith pretending to be an annoying frick just to mess with everyone and hide in plain sight. I have no idea why they walked it back because he was super unpopular since making him incredibly annoying was the point. If they revealed he was actually suave and smart and sinister as shit it would have redeemed the character a lot.
OG > DBS/DBZ > Not canon
DBS has its moments Boruto has none. Can't speak on star wars because that shit is gay aside from some video games
DBS gave us one of the best DB movies ever so it gets a pass.
DBS is a lot worse.
The DBS and Boruto anime are pretty equal piles of shit
DBS manga mogs the boruto manga hard
>equal piles of shit
Nope, not even fricking close. I know how much people bought in into the Dragon Ball hype, but you legit don't have the same quality of story telling in DBS as you have in Boruto.
And the fact that you can flip both right now and tell right away which one has stakes and is trying to tell you a story and which one had another reset and you can't tell what the frick is going on, is a example of what I'm talking about.
>"quality storytelling"
>90% filler content
They're both shit.
>Filler
You can read the entire manga in one day. You don't have to suffer through the anime fillers.
But I'm not trying to sell you shit, if you endured Naruto to the end you've suffered enough.
If Naruto ended at Kaguya I would be too calling everything past Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi a dream.
Genuinely what the frick are you even trying to say, are you moronic?
You're clearly not a Naruto fan if you don't get what I'm saying.
I have a real concern for the state of this series and much like every normal joe out there, hated the guts of these Ootsutuski characters when they were first introduced. In fact, I think the entire ninja war is mediocre as frick and it made for bad videogames too.
I was never into the idea that Naruto should've ended at Pain because obviously, there would be a ton of loosing ends, but this story is text book example of why authors need breaks to come up with good writing.
And yes, I think Boruto is better writen than most of what Shippuden was. I don't care what Swagkage thinks the dude is a powerscaler moron.
DBS is mediocre and flanderized many characters but it by no means as bad as of a continuation as Boruto.
It's much, much worse.
And it all fits into the space between Buu and EoZ.
>And it all fits into the space between Buu and EoZ.
Which is 10 years. DBS starts like 6 years after the Buu Arc though, or else Pan wouldn't be able to be 4 years old by the time in which the 23rd WT happens like she's supposed to.
It's a mess. You're supposed to believe that the entirety of DBS (5 arcs in the anime, DBSB, DBSSH and let's include the 2 manga original arcs for the heck of it) happened in the span of 4 years basically.
Doesn't One Piece happen over the span of maybe 2-3 years?
Who cares
Pre-timeskip takes place over several months. Post-timeskip so far is around 2 months (Luffy arriving on Sabaody and Fishman Island are all one day, Punk Hazard is day 2, Dressrosa is day 3, they leave on day 5, they arrive at Zou on day 10, WCI ends around 10 days later (maybe less, I forget the time it takes to travel there), the raid on Onigashima at Wano is 1 month after that due to the full moon, they stay in Wano for about a week after, and now they're on Egghead. Only about 2 months have passed in the past 13 years, and Luffy went from his training with Reyleigh to Emperor.
DBS permanently ruined Dragonball you homosexual.
Look up ANYTHING about DB in current year, you will literally only get DBS shit. It's ogre.
wait this is real? lmao i thought this was an edit
homie has a series named after some mexican food
it could be decent if it was released seasonally when they had something to show, but what the frick were they thinking making this a weakly anime where like fricking 90% of it is filler
DBGT was worse. Waaaaay worse.
And it's still better than Super by a wide margin.
Was doomed from the start.
End-game Naruto was casually better at unarmed than guy with all gates, better at healing than Tsunade (but who wasn't lmao, 'best' medical ninja in the world casually beaten by a dead guys cells), etc, you have to make really moronic asspulls to threaten someone that stupidly strong, guy healed a many years long missing eye with 1 touch
Naruto got a lot of toys to play with but he lost all of them. In Boruto he admits that he has absolutely no talent for healing jutsu. The 'healing' that he did for Guy and Kakashi was brute force reality warping via yang release.
>when I grow up I'm going to be a politician

Good shit Anons. There's no better way to start a day than to do so with a healthy chuckle.
Only read the manga why is Kawaki looking so fricking bratty
Wait so Naruto legit adopted someone? kek.
Isn't the point of Boruto that Boruto looks up to Sasuke as a role model because Naruto is such a shitty father due to being so busy as hokage?
That was only the first few chapters, though i guess the anime stretched the frick out of that
Seriously, what the actual frick is that about? Naruto was a fricking orphan living on the barest fricking stipend possible and acted out because it was the only way anyone would actually engage with him instead of just shunning him, even if they were pissed off. Meanwhile, Boruto has both parents, the wealth of the Hyuga clan, half a dozen secret techniques and bloodline powers that other ninja would literally kill for, and he feels like he got the short straw because his dad has to work late being the fricking President of Konoha?
Yes, children are brats. Him acting out is entirely realistic. Naruto not just sending in clones to do all the paper work, or maybe having any fricking employees, is the dumb part.
Why is the strongest ninja the one who does all the paperwork?
You're correct, but to be fair I'd get pissy too if I knew that my father could make a thousand copies of himself to do any job that the Hokage needed to do on the daily, but still claims that he doesn't have any time for his wife and children.
That is an entirely realistic way for a child to act. The things you mentioned really only come into play once you're a power hungry adult, as a kid he just wants to spend time with his dad. We as adults can't comprehend that and just look to the power afforded at him that we wish we had, and his child like priorities not reflecting ours makes him seem ungrateful.
No, it makes him seem like the fricking epitome of every douchebag rich kid who has literally everything and has never experienced anything even remotely considered a struggle his entire life, but acts like a complete wienerhole because his dad (who is not only still alive, but loves him dearly) can't come home from the office before nine.
A kid wants to piroritize spending time with his dad over using his inherited riches to buy expensive cars and frick b***hes. That doesn't make him a douchebag, it makes him a kid.
>kids are selfish and only see the small picture
Yes I take it you've never been around any.
It's almost as if people, especially children, don't act completely logically 100% of the time. Crazy I know.
I remember early Boruto material where his issue was that he received little personal recognition for his achievements, instead having most of it being attributed to being the child of his parents. Being able to use three elements wasn't because of his own skill and effort, it was because "He's the Hokage's son". But he is more naturally gifted than Naruto was, and because of this, things that do require a lot of effort he ends up giving up on and resorting to shortcuts. Konoha's science division creates technology that allows them to store jutsus, and Boruto figures "Why bother learning techniques myself when I can just use this?". But the villain, Momoshiki, ends up being a representation of this mindset, and even though he has pure godlike power, he ends up being defeated because he lacks the experience to deal with Boruto's vanishing Rasengan.
I actually really like a lot of the ideas used in Boruto. Kawaki as a character manages to hit all the right notes. He's a long term abuse victim who ends up recognizing and responding to Naruto's unconditional love. Knowing that Boruto is a ticking time bomb for a planet-harvesting demigod and that Naruto has been severely depowered, he ends up choosing to become the bad guy to save Naruto. I empathize with this character so much more than Sasuke and his edgelord "I'm ready to murder all my friends who like 8 year old me unknowingly benefited from my family being murdered by my brother so as to avert a world war". Like holy frick the Uchiha were bad. Kawaki on the other hand is just pragmatic and even somewhat justified in doing what he's doing, it's nothing personal to Boruto who he sees as a brother.
This is why i was never interested in watching this shit. Imagine Lion King where Mufasa doesn't die and you just watch Simba getting raised with all the friends and priveleges of the king with trivial threats from time to time.
Boruto is a massively ulikeable twat, he lacks the quality that made young Naruto fun and relateable and is instead a b***hy rich kid like Ino.
Bigger what. Boruto is the most miserable a character in this series has ever been. He's attempted suicide and even succeeded dying once, because of the alien downloading himself onto his body.
Goddamm. The alien shit really is awful. Oh uh poor Boruto I guess.
It's much better writen than the alien shit in Dragon Ball Super, that's for sure.
I maintain that introducing alien lifeforms like the Otsustsuki into the series was a dumb idea. Kind of a problem when introducing villains in a shonen series. You have to top the last villain in the series or they don't appear as a threat.
That was first few chapters. I think they fix that a little bit but not by much. Though, I think the anime was the first to start fixing that. That plot point doesn't make sense given who Naruto was. You'd think he'd learn to be their for his family given how he lost his but I guess they needed to force drama from somewhere.
>Naruto is such a shitty father due to being so busy as hokage
This is so stupid and artificial. In the Original Series he was shitting out Shadow Clones left and right. And in the 4th Ninja World War Naruto sent a bunch of clones to various fronts across the world to fight the strongest resurrected ninjas while the original was also fighting. One of the clones was also using Kurama Chakra Mode (pic related). And now in Boruto he can't sustain a single clone just because he was tired? It's bullshit. He did everything above at the same time and that is definitely more tiring than running around the village doing tasks or doing paper. The only did this because they wanted an early conflict between the new main character and the old one. This whole thing makes no fricking sense.
There’s a scene where they’re celebrating a birthday and boruto gets pissed off because naruto sends a shadow clone in his stead because he’s too busy at work. He ruins his little sister’s birthday celebration by dispelling it and making a huge b***h-out fuss over it
Kek I know. The clone shouldn't have disappeared like that anyway. It's fricking Naruto for fricksake.
This is the only thing I still remember about Boruto.
It was so fricking stupid and forced I immediately felt like dropping the series.
can shadow clones think and talk? They're always just doing predetermined actions
Remember the training that made Naruto know how to use shadow clones for intel gathering?
>can shadow clones think and talk?
Did you even watch or read Naruto?
>No one could guess that he was going to be revived
That was a plottwist and mystery. The whole "who is the man under the mask" was apart of this. It was 100% better than the Zetsu betraying Madara and having Kaguya show up. Another dumb thing was the Obito redemption thing.
>That was a plottwist and mystery. The whole "who is the man under the mask" was apart of this. It was 100% better than the Zetsu betraying Madara and having Kaguya show up. Another dumb thing was the Obito redemption thing.
To me the problem isn't him being a villain as much as it is how he got there. And I have no problem with his introduction as an Edo, that part was kino. Him being this much involved with the current events of the story he was inserted in was what I thought to be bad.
They even got as far as telling he was controlling Rin iirc. Madara had no business being this evil.
Fair enough
Madara was not evil and there were plenty of hints that he somehow is relevant to the events of the story.
>Did you even watch or read Naruto?
Bahahahahaha no. I'm not a loser, anon. Shounen is all the same predictable garbage with cringe annoying loudmouth protagonist.
>can shadow clones think and talk?
Yes, but all intents and purposes, they are exactly like the original. When dispelled, all the chakra flows back to you with all the memories the clone had.
Its explained in the very start of Shippuden. Naruto used this to learn Rasenshuriken in record speed as he had thousands of clones training at the same time. Itachi also used shadow clones during his time in the academy while the real was training somewhere else.
Regardless, Boruto shits on all of that and Naruto suddenly can't be at 2 places at once.
He doesn't use the clones to do all his work because he thinks it would be cheating and he wouldn't actually deserve to be hokage. Which is why sending a clone to his kids birthday is even more fricked up since he views his family as a lesser job that he can just half ass
Pretty sure that Naruto doesn't use shadow clones while outside his house is so that no leaf ninja throw their lives away mistakenly to protect a shadow clone hokage, since people did die for his clones in the fourth ninja war.
Why only one arm and also isnt Naruto a lefty? Why the right arm?
the point of the series is Boruto is being an unreasonable brat and Naruto is having difficulty connecting with him during it. The movie, the series, and the manga are all pretty clear that Boruto is being childish and unreasonable in his treatment of Naruto and it's just basic rebellion. the point of the opening arc is Boruto discovering just how hard his dad had it and accepting that hes been a prick to his dad for no reason.
I thought that part was actually very well written, all leading to him cheating in the exams by using ninja tools.
The one thing I agreed on with Boruto was that it was a shit move to send a clone to Himawari's birthday.
And while you're right that Boruto was being unreasonable it wasnt entirely unfounded. Naruto did have to make a little time for his family (which he did)
In the end, all Boruto really wanted was for Naruto to play the ninja equivalent of catch with him, and maybe have lunch once in a while. The opening arc was a lesson for both of them.
From the outside it def looks insensitive for naruto to send a clone, but it's important to remember when a clone pops all that experience and memory returns to the original. from naruto's perspective he was genuinely there, and most of the time he doesn't seem to differentiate himself from the other clones outside of tactics. Himawari seems more disappointed about the party being ruined than naruto not being there.
Considering Konoha won the ninja world war and all the villages are in peace with each other Naruto can simply appoint some bureaucrat to rubber stamp whatever stupid papers he needs to be signing all day and go frick around and spend time with friends and family.
Like what the frick is he even working on all day? I haven't seen the other hokage do any kind of actual office work at any time or the other kage either.
Point is, he promised to be there. Yes, i know how his clones work but its not the same.
Also, just how is Naruto so damn busy? Sarutobi was strolling around the village half of the time.
It's a stretch but maybe the point is to highlight that even though he's got the power to be capable of being hokage, he's still just as bad at paperwork as when he was a kid.
But that doesn't really work because he has Shikamaru as his right hand man and he excels at things like that AND Naruto is pretty clever when it comes to utilizing his clones but all of a sudden he doesn't use them for every day life in which they would be incredibly useful, not to mention give him more time to do other things, but maybe that would make his title feel pointless as he would just have the title but shy away from all the administrative responsibilities of it.
>he's still just as bad at paperwork as when he was a kid.
Perhaps having the strongest ninja be the head of the village instead of a proper administrator is a bad idea?
the village grew a lot due to globalization. Its literally at the center. So hes definitely busy as frick.
To be honest it doesnt even fricking make any sense because theres a daimyo. The kages/hidden villages are only supposed to be there for military reasons
Kawaki is x10 cooler than Naruto's CHEATING SHIT son
I want to frick Salad
sauce for the salad?!
She is made for adult hokage wiener but get those gross hairs out of here
They tried so hard with gaiden to flush out the last of hte OP shit and set up the next generation for a bit lower stakes.
And then wouldn't you know it, they just reneg on the whole thing and we're right back to powerlevel nonsense. I hate it.
I liked that arc about the evil businessman, that was exactly what I was hoping for more of. LOW Stakes.
It's amazing that this series is still going. I can only imagine how far the power creep has gotten.
In the manga they had a good 3 arcs of just expositiondump, basically kaguya, the surprise villain from the end of the original series was an alien, and now her race are the bigbads but they're all like ghosts or some shit so they infect you like a parasite and turn the person into one of them over time. That's where we are now. Boruto just got the gash over his eye that we saw in the chapter 1 flash forward.
I wonder if the end game of Boruto is going to be an inter-cosmic war between the Earth ninjas and moon ninjas ending in a peace treaty where they all live happily ever after immediately following the death of Naruto and Sasuke.
No because they're not even just from the moon, they're literally intergalactic.
kishi is still. STILL asspained that samurai 8 fricking flopped, so he's trying to less than subtly incorporate elements from it like the space garbage.
Endgame is just going to depend on if they continue on with the otsutsuki bullshit, or the CODE bullshit. Or, god forbid, they introduce ANOTHER bigbad that supercedes both of them.
Right now it's looking like boruto is about to build up to a fight with kawaki, we see what happens in the first chapter, naruto (probably) gets released from spacejail, then boruto loses himself to the otsutsuki, but somehow they find a cure to relieve him of their influence but he keeps all of their power because lmao, then another otsutsuki slides in from the intergalactic outer rim or some shit.
They'll always find some other way to increase the power level shit.
Just like at Dragon Ball Z. They went from fighting space alien conquerors, to super powered androids, to whatever Majin Buu is, to now literal gods. Naruto could pull the same shit.
Obviously, but my point is, they can increase it because we STILL don't know what the frick code is, it's just a group of people who wanted to transfer the power of one otsutsuki over, they failed, but whatever his name is, smokerman, found a way to revive his daughter and use human sacrifices as vessels for revival with the otsutsuki process.
We don't know what the frick the otsutsuki want besides to eat the planet and take back the chakra they put into it. But neither of those are anything they've explored beyond having filler characters die to exposit them. I mean, they're clearly leaning more on code, we have the teleportation man with his edgelord claws, and then highschool girl who wants to frick kawaki.
Dragonball gets a new "literal god" every other arc, Kami was the original top god
They've set up Ascended God Ootsuki as the final boss at this point.
>the true enemy all along was the Scientology alien ghosts
Jesus fricking Christ, and here I thought the original series was hackneyed.
I just found out the other week that 80% of the series is filler. So theres like 280 episodes and only like 70 are canon. They also fight dinosaurs which I thought wasn't canon but I just saw a manga page of so that might be canon
No, the filler is actually canon
An anime-only character has appeared in the manga
Why didn’t they just go back to being ninas. Go on missions, strategize with teams, explore the lands, avoid conflicts, learn new jutsus. It was that simple. Just give me the game where I can do all that with my donut steel
have a nice day Narutards.
No.
Is this Kishimotos doing for more money or the publisher wringing this shit for all its worth?
It's Kishimoto trying hard to be the next Toriyama
Can't it be both?
Salad should be main char instead of Boruto
She will probably take charge of the story if Boruto becomes a villain.
Her or Kawaki.
I want to lick her armpits.
Literally all I know about this show is that Sasuke is still just kind of a shitty guy and that makes me laugh a lot for some reason
Japs love him for this
Baka gaijins don't get it.
There is a reason why Sassgay always places on top of popularity polls.
Nips have abominably bad taste in popularity polls.
That is universal.
Can you blame a Japanese mangaka for catering towards those morons?
I mean it became popular in the West because of those morons.
I bet there is a ton of manga in Japan that gets it right at the cost of getting no spotlight
Yet you love your edgy Rance characters? Women like the edgy emo Twilight characters
>Rance
>edgy
The only thing that's edgy about Rance is his teeth.
>Rance
I don't know what that is
Salad is savage af and it's always hilarious. She makes the series worth reading honestly.
"b***h you barely even have a husband shut the frick up"
>the publisher wringing this shit for all its worth?
It started as this and then turned into the former. Kishimoto wasn't even involved with Boruto at first besides being a supervisor. He took over as the writer after he realized he was a one hit wonder when his next series, Samurai 8, flopped and didn't even make it a full year before getting cancelled.
Kishimoto didn't pick up the Boruto manga until chapter 50something
was this the most moronic shit kishimoto has pulled out of his ass?
The only moronic shits are the failed abortions that don't understand sasuke is literally moronic and the only reason he wasn't fricking lynched was naruto's gay love for him.
It's meant to piss you off at sasuke's expense. Everything he does is to piss you off. EVERY other uchiha did everything they could to set him up for success in the face of literal genocide, and he STILL fricked it up. Itachi was literally a better saviour of the clan from beyond his god damned grave.
Sasuke got SO much more exposure and attention early on in the series that kishimoto literally wrote him into being an irredeemable c**t shortly thereafter
I think if that were the case, then Kishimoto wouldn't have made every girl that Sasuke betrayed and/or tried to kill at some point still blindly love him. Sakura should have told him to frick off years ago.
>just learned the slaughter of his clan was not by his brother like he thought but was actually ordered by the government as a way to prevent a civil war to which his brother was used as a scapegoat
>brother was ordered to enact genocide on their clan on the sole condition he was allowed to live to which the entire blame was placed on his brother just so the government could save face
>"nooooo, why didn’t he just follow Itachi’s wishes and go back crawling to Konoha?"
morons like you never cease to surprise me, especially given how Itachi was more than willing to brainwash his little bro to protect the village against his will.
Tell me WHAT Sasuke did wrong apart from killing a single fricking samurai at Five Kage summit.
All he did was leave the village, SPARED everyone who tried to stop him, kill THREE S-rank criminals Konoha was already hunting. He was a fricking hero at that point in time and he canonically didn't kill a single person under Orochimaru. After that he learned Konoha tricked him and his entire family so he got pissed off and seeked revenge. After that he calmed down, talked with the Hokages, chilled the frick down, killed ANOTHER S-rank criminal helping the war effort and stopped Madara and Obito from winning the war. Absolutely nobody knew of Sasuke's plan other than Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi and none of them snitched on him. His actual list of crimes is just that one fricking samurai and crashing the Five Kage Summit and even that is vindicated by the circumstances. Absolute peanuts compared to helping the Alliance win the war and hunting multiple uber dangerous criminals that were on the run for years.
>inb4 hurr durr he killed 6th Hokage candidate Danzo
I'm surprised Tsunade didn't personally thank him for ridding the village of that fricking idiot who alongside Hiruzen turned the ninja world into the shithole it was before actual competent leaders turned the entire ninja world into a tech utopia where children didn't have to randomly die during chuunin exams.
Even fricking Tobirama, literally the CEO of uchiha racism in Naruto world, has taken Sasuke's side.
>Tobirama, literally the CEO of uchiha racism
kek
I remember some leaf ninjas calling Saskue a hero for killing Itachi. It's really after Obito gets a hold of him that Saskue becomes a schizo.
>Tell me WHAT Sasuke did wrong
He had already redeemed himself by helping to beat Madara in the ninja war. And then, when it is finally over he becomes a sperg again and literally wants to take over the world himself. That was moronic and ruined his character.
And all that just so we could have a Naruto vs Sasuke final fight.
Attempted assassination of the Raikage. Even in the best light, it's assault on the world leader at a peace summit.
>the only reason he wasn't fricking lynched was naruto's gay love for him
Which is why Orochimaru being forgiven is 100x more moronic.
>Hey Orochimaru, you're looking weirdly young
>Haha yeah, you know why
>Oh yeah. Well anyway can you help us?
Fricking lmao
it closely mirrors real life, they are too valuable as a resource/tool to fall into the hands of another village/country. see operation paperclip and the us' dealings with japan's section 731
>Implying I need a lecture on the permitted amorality of fated individuals
>Lynched
Other than Naruto (who won't do it) literally who had the power to kill Sasuke? Nobody
Killer Bee killed Sasuke, but THE PLOT wouldn't let him stay dead.
That was before he got eye hax even more stupidly moronic than pain. Post Madara there is nobody who had the power to hold Sasuke accountable for his crimes
Sasuke did nothing wrong. Frick Konoha.
Sasuke apologists (self-inserters) are a sad bunch. As if he and his homosexual clan weren't the cancer that completely destroyed the series.
>he says as if the Uchiha weren’t carrying Naruto
Reading through the storytime made me realize that a lot of Naruto is really fricking boring without someone like Sasuke to drive the plot forward.
>[headcanon]
>[out of universe argument]
Pathetic.
Tobirama really fricked over the Leaf in the long run. They were a great military asset. They also got unlucky. Minato probably would have easied the situation but he died so early on. It was pretty much over by than.
An absolute classic. Sits in my book collection next to the one about the hyuga eugenics guy.
I like how this perspective makes out Naruto to be a fricking monster and honestly, when you consider the shit he does, it’s not wrong.
Daily reminder that Hiruzen was the worst Hokage.
>The Uchiha Clan were massacred. Hiruzen did nothing to stop the primary instigator who made peace impossible (Danzo)
>The Hygua-Kumo affair, wherein a Kumo nin came into the village and attempted to kidnap Hinata. Her father protected her by killing the kidnapper. Hiruzen responded by sacrificing a Hinata's uncle to Kumo, even though Kumo was 100% in the wrong
>Hiruzen allowed Orochimaru, the human experimenting, child murdering, unit 741 tier monster to escape
>Hiruzen allowed Danzo to get away with attempting to assassinate him
>Hiruzen did nothing as the Uchiha were moved to the ghetto and spied on by Danzo
>Hiruzen allowed Sasuke to grow up in his home. The same home where his family and the other fricking hundred Uchiha were murdered
>Hiruzen let Naruto, a CHILD, raise himself
>Hiruzen allowed Konoha to psychologically, verbally, and mentally abuse Naruto
>Hiruzen allowed his two best ninja (Jiraya and Tsunade) to go AWOL
Well letting Orochimaru do what he wants is kinda just a thing everyone does.
Orochimaru is a very weird villain. Every one knows he is evil and immortal. Every one knows he eats children, steals corpses, creates criminal organizations and use forbidden spells, but literally NO ONE gets rid of him.
Even Kishimoto's self-insert couldn't get rid of him so not like other characters have a choice.
he stopped doing that, for the most part
he's a scientist now, experimenting on creating artificial life forms
This doesn't excuse anything though. It's criminally moronic that no one hasn't murdered him yet or atleast sealed his shit and kept him in a 24/7 isolatated cell. No I don't give a shit if they employ someone to keep track of him.
Dude is straight up Mengele.
He's kept around as insurance so they can throw him out to die against a threat. I hope he actually dies like that at some point.
>Orochimaru is an evil super scientist in case they need an evil super scientist for something
>Otosuki show up
>suddenly there's ANOTHER evil super scientist handling everything and Orochimaru doesn't even show up
i mean america had operation paperclip bro
When Naruto was rewriting the history books to make sure all Uchihas were remembered as the coolest guys he also went and changed Orochimaru.
He is now a hero of the leaf village and got his own ninja trading card before Shino or Rock Lee
>all Uchihas were remembered as the coolest guys
To be fair the village was the bad guy for giving out the order to murder them all. And they were the founder clan too.
They provoked the genocide
Bullshit excuse. He went low because there was 2 semi-gods roaming the world and now immortal god-aliens are also attacking the planet.
He turned into a average Joe, but he is still pretty much full blown evil and would return to his evil ways given the chance
He was evil because he was not immortal. Once he stacked enough death-defying contingencies that he could persist in the physical world no matter what he chilled out and pursues his passion of knowledge. Definitely one of the best character growths in the series.
Are characters like Orochimaru just an unintentionally fricked up allegory for people casually excusing war crimes as long as some half decent medical research comes out of it? Is it a matter of cultural differences?
Bleach did the same thing, introducing cartoonishly monstrous people, and then just sort of ignoring their horrible crimes and letting them go because they do something useful every now and then.

>Hiruzen let the ninja world fall into TWO world wars
After this post I think Hiruzen was clinically moronic and suddenly has a likeness to Dumbledore.
The aliens. It singlehandedly kneecaped the war arc and the ending. It's the worst thing in the series.
No, the most moronic shit was not pulling the trigger and making Karin Sarada's mother.

>Talk about Naruto games you like then dumbass
NTA, but I wish there was something to talk about.
I wish the trailer for Storm Connections was juicier, that it showed tasty stuff that actually invites you to hope and dream about the things that maybe CC2 will do this time and that while they should have, didn't do back in Storm 3 and later.
But the trailer was trash, plain and simple. A mishmash of cutscenes and shots from the 4 mainline Storm games, and 5 seconds of footage of the original Hashirama/Naruto and Madara/Sasuke that no one really asked for instead of updates to existing characters or anyone that is more interesting like the 7SM who, again, we should have gotten all the way back in Storm 3 but did not.
Frick CC2 to be tbh.
CC2 is a washed out company, they can't do better.
Asura's Wrath was the last time they put any effort into a game.
I guess, those games with the dogs count too but they were far too indie to be called effort.
Does anyone have to the "Hyuuga chakra master race" schizotheory?
I hope so
i thought this shit took place hundreds of years ago
In a world where people use ninja magic to fight each other, technology actually advances faster on times of peace
You though wrong. It was a fictional steampunk world since the beginning.
they had video recordings and electric power lines from the start of naruto
It's consistent
Its just Current technology but without Automobiles
Kishimoto already stated this before
globalization happened
Naruto literally had a psx in his room in the old anime.
seriously wtf. why use ninja powers when you can have... i dont fricking know.... a GUN?!
https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Water_Gun_Technique
why develop the technology for a gun when throwing a literal toothpick can puncture steel panels, or throwing a knife can split a tree in half, or some kid can generate a fricking explosive magic ball that teleports forward and then fricking explodes
Naruto timeline is FRICKED. Think for a second, Tsunade is granddaughter to the FIRST hokage. The Madara shit and the village wars is barely 100 years old.
>Hashirama actually knew Tsunade when she was a kid
How the frick did he even die?
Hashirama used his stupidly powerful regeneration until his telomeres ran out and his body frayed at the cellular level. No specific enemy took him out, it was accelerated aging.
I don't consider myself racist, but it's amazing how one clan can be so overwhelmingly superior in every single way
Uchiha is literally a cursed clan. They are genetically made to be emotional little b***hes until they go blind and die, Tobirama was right.
>Believing Tobirama's headcanon.
No Uchiha caused trouble besides Madara and those manipulated by Madara.
if I recall correctly the first naruto season had those fat tvs and security cameras

Was there really a scene in the manga where Naruto did shadow clone jutsu while taking a shit or was that just anime filler?

Naruto was getting his dick sucked and Sarada went a bit too far!

That was so moronic.
Holy shit did Naruto die!?
Imagine a scenario where he did though, remotely, and it would play out very much like that.
lel, didn't read
Boruto filler is somehow better than the canon shit. That's unbelievable. SoL kino
Filler lets other characters exist and isn't just focused entirely on Boruto and aliens.
Instead we get hardcore motherfrickers like Houki beating the shit out of his teachers kid.

This was the team I was most looking forward to, but they got the least development out of ALL of them.

>Boruto
Kek good one. Boruto is a spin off.
Nope, it's a direct sequel.
I'm sorry that you hated the shit Kishimoto introduced by the end of his manga.
No it isn't. And if it is the hiatus is gonna tank the already abysmal manga sales. That leads to cancelation and Pierrot is stuck with an unfinshed series until they decide to end it as well.
>No it isn't
Up to this point, it's objectively is. Until they confirm otherwise there's really nothing to debate here.
Also the series has a whole has been profitable.
Also sales are meaningless.
One Piece is a garbage manga with no redeeming qualities.
Both Luffy and Boruto died around the same time. One was to introduce what is easily the most disgusting retcon One Piece had, and the other was just to show you Boruto had a strong resolve and trust towards his adopted brother.
Bro, if low sales are a parameter to bring quality to a series then by all fricking means, One Piece needs to start to tank hard.
>One Piece is a garbage manga with no redeeming qualities.
Im not the biggest One Piece fan but that's bullshit.
Also sales are meaningless
No, they're important. Especially for manga. Boruto (at least the manga) simply isn't good. Sales reflect that.
>Im not the biggest One Piece fan but that's bullshit.
The art is too busy.
The story is bloated and incomprehensible.
It has way too many characters.
Luffy is now some God being and is dragging other fruit users to also somehow have new unlocked power ups in their fruits.
At least Kishi had the balls to remove Sasuke and Naruto's God powers out of the story. If this happened to Goku the fans would disown him and wank the next strongest character.
>That leads to cancelation and Pierrot is stuck with an unfinshed series until they decide to end it as well
Why? Boruto was an original work started by SP, the manga was just a lazy cash grab follow up to the story.
This is why. He was involved with film. Than left. Than came back semi-recently.
He came back the moment Samurai 8 was finished, 3 years ago.
And he's trying to make Samurai 8 canon to Boruto if you're paying attention to all the connections.
>finished
more like cancelled lmao
Well, he was able to finish that manga so for all the intention and purpose it was finished.
He's boruto cuz he's named after Neji
tworuto
I'm hoping it features some Sarada thighs
Boruto ain't Part 3 so you're wrong.
>Also the series has a whole has been profitable.
digital sales and foreign sales and merch are why. The manga is has flopped already. And the hiatus will just make it worse.
I'm terribly sorry that you think this low about the latest part of Shippuden.
Again, sorry!
>It was all aliens from the moon clan
Oof.... Sorry!
Do you know who you have to blame for that? CC2. That last hour introduction was pretty much ripped out of Asura's Wrath.
Oh and feminists telling Kishi he couldn't write female characters for shit.
>CC2
Why would they be involved in the making of the Naruto manga?
Oh so you weren't alive back then or not paying attention?
Kishi would often visit CC2's studios to check on their projects. And if you can't see Asura's Wrath in Kaguya, I'm also sorry you're blind.
>Asura's Wrath
I haven't played it. And now I blame Kishi. It was up to him to add all that.
Also if you want to understand what made him introduce the tree, look up Kakashi's pet tree and you'll understand the symbology behind it.
Actually, my bad. That's a difficult google search.
Look up "Kakashi Mr ukki" instead.
Notice that small tree is the exact same shape has the juubi tree.
That's all well and good but the alien shit is the issue. Nothing you say will convince me that's it was a good idea or that it made sense.
I'm trying to convince you that it was hamfisted IN NARUTO.
When I started reading Boruto I was also hopping all of it was just a part of Madara's infinite tsukuyomi along with Kaguya.
Then I actually got into Boruto and started to understand that there, at least is an attempt to tell a story that makes sense. Especially coming from the bundled mess Kishi created at the end of Naruto.
>I'm trying to convince you that it was hamfisted IN NARUTO
EVERYONE FRICKING KNOWS THAT. IT'S AGREED THAT IT TANKED THE WAR ARC AND ENDING AND THAT IT WAS THE WORST THING KISHIMOTO DID ANHHHHHHHHHHH
Boruto shouldn't have used it.
The problem is that even Madara, and Zetsu, don't make any sense.
Madara is just what Kaguya is on a smaller scale. It's a stupid retconning villain that is only brought up to life to show you someone else other than Obito was pulling the strings. It's exactly like that meme pic with all the Naruto villains puppeteering each others.
I don't care is Boruto gets canceled or retconned into just being a spinoff, nothing will change the fact that Naruto's EoS made all the damage to the series.
>The problem is that even Madara, and Zetsu, don't make any sense.
Please don't remind me. And still, I'd say a retcon is preferable, even if it's a big one.
>Oh and feminists telling Kishi he couldn't write female characters for shit.
Does it count as culture war outrage if they're actually right?
Right about what? Sakura was an actual character compared to Nami or Orihime.
Not being able to write female characters was a code phrase for "character with no booba".
Bro if you think Sakura was well written or well used you might actually be moronic
He's saying in comparison you stupid dumb dumb
They're all shit though? Nami started out decent but got worse and worse as time went on and Orihime was never anything but an actual moron that was just meant to be saved and maybe a heal bawd sometimes
Sarada being Karen's and Sakura still raising her was the only genuinely interesting thing Baruto had going for it and they killed it dead to appease shippers and fanservice gays
I would have preferred Saskue meeting some lady on his travels. Getting with Sakura was dumb.
>Naruto Shippuden
>"Well, it was all alien(s) with Buddha robes. All of it. From part 1 to now. You rike?"
Fans lapped it up.
>Boruto
"Well, it's aliens but there's more to it and they aren't just some china shit, there's an actual biological reason behind them."
Fans somehow hate this.
Hagoromo shouldn't have been an alien he SHOULD have been like the Buddha. The alien shit was dumb and everyone agrees.
The chuunin exams ended like 5 years ago. Hell the Boruto movie was years earlier than that. But a lot of people still believe Boruto is still a spoiled brat who hates his dad.
He never even hated Naruto which he made clear in a talk he had with Mitsuki. He's just pissed at him that, after being Hokage, he suddenly stopped spending time with his kids especially with Himawari. It's a very realistic problem of a kid not understanding what his dad is going through and rebelling because of it and a dad who focuses too much on his job and failing to understand what his child is going through because he never had parents who raised him.
The chuunin exam arc ended with both of them having a meaningful talk and resolving their issues. Boruto learns to appreciate Naruto and is content with watching him and learning more from his past while Naruto tries to to spend more with his family realizing that he doesn't need to help the village 24/7.
Totally artificial. Naruto has done more tiring things and he didn't collapse from exhaustion. That "conflict" doesn't make any sense.
>The chuunin exams ended like 5 years ago. Hell the Boruto movie was years earlier than that. But a lot of people still believe Boruto is still a spoiled brat who hates his dad.
Yea because a lot of folks dropped Boruto not long afterwards.
What Naruto needs is a spiritual successor to those Xbox games where you could explore the ninja world. Go on missions, visit the 5 nations, etc.
>Naruto: Ninja World
AHHHHHHH KINOOOOOOOO
But WHO would make it?
We can't get that until Bandai either makes one or sells the rights to this franchise to someone else.
It's not like Kishimoto/Shueisha would say no to if someone asked for the license. Bamco is being lazy as frick with this latest game as well. CC2 needs to make an anime crossover fighting game and not let the homosexuals at Spike Chudsoft make it again and fail for the 3rd time in a row.
You'll just have to make do with emulating it on PC or Xbox Series.
nothing bort can ever do will top pic related. the biggest walk back in all the big shounen manga. at least dbz has undo bad thing mechanics tied to the name of the fricking series so you can expect them. nardo has no excuse, especially when the get out of death card has only been used twice for equally fan serviced reasons
The fact that people dan disupte whether or not it's canon is proof he can shitcan the whole thing any time he wants. He only get involved after the film because his pet project bombed.
To shitcan Boruto he also has to do the same to Kaguya.
And to me it seems kind of obvious that there has been an attempt to connect Boruto to Samurai 8. That's another thing you can connect by reading Boruto.
>To shitcan Boruto he also has to do the same to Kaguya.
Sounds good to me. Retcon all of it. It's not like Boruto, Sarada etc as person can't exist or anything.
Sure, if you're willing to accept that then, Naruto was canceled in 2011/12. Making everything from the past decade just a waste of everyone's time and effort.
But then what, would you trust them to write something better? What exactly would be better, Sasuke going Eren Yeager at Konoha? You're just going to uncover more flaws in this story lmao
I rather have Boruto, thanks.
>Sasuke going Eren Yeager at Konoha?
Kek no. Madara as the final boss is enough. That was supposed to happen until Kaguya popped outta nowhere. Retcon can only happen if Kishimoto continues the original manga and starts part 3. As much as I'd like that it'll probably never happen. So we're stuck with Boruto. Well, maybe not for long.
>Madara as the final boss is enough
A dead guy from 100 years ago should be the final villain?
Want me to tell you that Kishi only thought of that because he made Nagato revive everyone because his editors wanted those characters alive so now he has to explain why the Rinnegan can revive people?
Does this make sense to you?
>A dead guy from 100 years ago should be the final villain?
Madara was built up for ages. Literally everyone thought it was gonna happen. What, are you saying you actually LIKE the Kaguya asspull? If something similar happens in Boruto you'll eat that shit up too?
Not as a villain!
No one could guess that he was going to be revived, let alone that he was banking on Obito to do it through a series of complicated hoops.
I'm sorry, not even that. He planted a seal in Obito's heart to do it and.... Yeah time to turn your brain off because this part is moronic. If anything this was a character assassination because Madara's era was great. imo
Now the world shall know pain.
pain?
Damn, Naruto aged like shit.
Obito was always going to be Kakashi's lost friend from the start. That is the only bit of the story that was planned ahead and made sense.
Madara and Zetsu are almost just as much last hour introductions as Kaguya was.
I bet Zetsu was just going to be a regular Akatsuki member at some point.
Madara's first mention was during the valley fight and then he was namedropped several times after - how the frick is this last minute?
Zetsu was originally from the Grass village. He had their headband when he first appeared in the manga.
Why do you people still care about the cartoons when you watched when you were little kids?
shut up pussy
I wasn't little when Naruto was released, kiddo.
>hype up Sumire as a core character
>goes nowhere
>hype up Mizuki, give him sage mode, an interesting backstory and connection to Orochimaru
>gets shafted like a MOTHERFRICKER
>sort of have Sarada linger around cause muh sharingan
>do fricking nothing with her
>introduce Kawaki as Sasuke 2
>tease a very interesting shift in dynamic where Boruto fears his power the same way the villagers feared Naruto in his youth, and Kawaki the son Naruto never knew he wanted
>shaft it, now they're both best friends
Every time the show has something interesting going for it, it self-destructs. Truly Narutos sequel.
>Naruto will never train Sarada
Fricking hell
Oh hes training her alright
Sarada only exists to justify there being blonde Uchiha's in the future.
You can tell Kishi had fun playing eugenics with his characters.
It's really just Naruto 2.0 but worse somehow.
The only characters who matter are Boruto(Naruto) and Kawaki (Sasuke), and everyone else just falls to the wayside while they fight over ideals but eventually Kawaki gives up because Boruto won't leave him alone.
>zoomer hair
jfc what happened to this dumb series
Did they have to make Boruto's adopted brother be the most zoomer looking fricker imaginable
oh?
I got kicked. It's OVER
The manga would be the kinoest if Kishi just said
"Yeah, that part where Madara activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Everything past that is a dream".
But life is made of small concessions, so I just embraced Boruto for what it is and tried to enjoy the series on it's own.
The generals they have on Ganker are extremely welcoming, I loved visiting those threads.
Where the frick are Lee's parents, are they still alive? Is Lee an orphan? Who the frick is the mother of his child? Why does he look so much like Guy if they aren't even related?
He's actually Guy's son.
So who's his mum and who's the mother of his child?
Naruto is the most Lame Anime ever
Did they really have to name him Boruto? I would've gotten it if Minato was named Miruto or something.
It's the japanese way of saying Bolt so there's at least that.
Ah, makes more sense. I thought they were going for it for the sole reason of marketing.
Boruto(Bolt) because his uncle is Neji(screw).
Minato did it worse since Naruto is just a ramen topping.
Neji sure got screwed.
He literally could not be allowed to live or else he would have saw that he was 100% right that hard work does not matter you are either a chosen one or you are useless.
Carlos!
Probably but hopefully not.
I hate that piece of shit.
I really don't like Boruto as a character.
He's about the blandest and safest choice they could've possibly have made.
Should've made his hair red, longer (kind of like a little Jiraiya) with a more unique personality.
Sarada and Kawaki are infinitely more interesting.
i wonder at what point kishimoto decided to go "yeah you know what actually the ninja world we see in the series was founded by aliens and chakra is an alien invention that was spread around the world by the son of the alien b***h who tried to destroy the world"
Literally everything in Naruto is based on some japanese historical fact or myth. All the names and references are from japanese history.
Kaguya is as well so it's not outside of reason he would've had it in mind as he was figuring out what the overall arc was.
what japanese myth has outer beings who travel the galaxy in search of planets to grow a murdertree that consooms all of the life on the planet to make an extra tasty delicious fruit full of chakra?
The story of shut the FRICK up
Not that specifically you autist, he just adapted the tale of Kaguya to fit the setting just like he adapted all the other names, concepts and terms to fit the setting.
but was anyone asking what the origin of what ninjutsu and chakra was? it takes the magic away when you explain it like midichlorians
People wanted to know more about tailed beasts
I agree. I've no idea why so many shows/games feel the need to explain everything.
The tailed beasts being good guys was the gaygiest shit ever. Shoulda kept them in a state where they could begrudgingly aid the jinchugays.
>feel the need to explain everything.
I digress. Naruto was always a world of hard magic and there is nothing wrong with that.
Since the very beginning they explained that chakra was some kind of energy that ran through your veins and you manipulated it somehow.
The Chinese called Japan The Land of Fusang (the sun's god tree) back then.
>the Japanese were aliens all along
So deep
Apparently the story has been inspired by Code Vein. Or at least that's what an autist on Ganker keeps telling us.
And I only meant the recent development of the Ootsutsuki lore. Kaguya is just from the Japanese myths.
taking this opportunity to point out that is hilarious how boruto fans are geeking over one decent arc thats going to get animated to prove a point that their series isnt complete garbage
Aren't they like 200 episodes in? Even though shit poo damn wasn't great there was still a handful of excellent arcs/fights right from the beginning like the sasori fight, the fights with hidan and kakuzu. Fricking Boruto still has nothing.
boruto fans are literally clinging on to this code arc to prove that their series isnt a complete failure
Remember the time travel arc when Jiraiya got his ass kicked multiple times and only used like 1 rasengan and some stupid fireball-like jutsu. Not to mention the terrible animation.
It's worse than I remember
Wow he's so fast my eyes can't keep up.
>chance for a sneak attack
>goes for the front anyway
literally naruto's child
I hate burrito like you wouldn't believe, I hope it gets GT'd at some point so we can have actual naruto stories back.
>please buy my wife's son's game
>boruto episode 250
>just getting the 'cycle of hatred' lesson that naruto got in the land of waves arc
>250 episodes
Jesus. What episode did Naruto start fighting pain?
380 or so
It was actually 168 episodes in
>casually forgets about naruto part 1 with 220 episodes
Well then should we consider Boruto to be on episode 800 instead of 250, homosexual?
NTA, but Boruto is not Naruto Part 3, it's Boruto.
Boruto absolutely is Naruto part 3.
You don't understand. It's not a continuation of the story... Well it is but like it's not so even though it is, it isn't.
if you're gonna use that logic, then no
boruto is part 2 of the naruto storyline, as naruto is 1 whole thing, they just split anime for marketing purpose
>Shippuden is part 2 of Naruto so add the episodes together
>Boruto is part 2 of Naruto, but don't add the episodes together
You guys are a weird breed of autist
Look at the name of the series you low iq mongrel.
naruto/shippuuden is the same series, boruto is a sequel in the same franchize.
Yes, Naruto, and Naruto Shippuden
If it was the same it would still just be called Naruto
Dumb moron
guess what? you moron
https://myanimelist.net/manga/11/Naruto
mouthbreathers
I accept your concession. Dipshit
>acts like a moron
>gets treated as such
>"ehehe I win"
not even worth continuing when you're gonna be a disingenuous moron
kys dumbass
That doesn't mention anything about episode numbers.
boruto is a sequel you moron
shippuuden wasn't a sequel, it was part 2; just split for marketing purpose. Manga is all in 1.
studio itself counts naruto as having 720 episodes
NTA, but that's just counting Shippuden/Part 2 alone.
Counting it as a whole, the fight starts in Episode 163 of Shippuden, so 383 episodes overall.
>it's not part 3 it's a sequel
Kek, what kind of moronic logic is this
Oops didn't mean to quote anyone.
>Big brother is aloof for most of your childhood
>Winds up murdering not just your family but clan as well
>Repeatedly mind rapes you to try and get you to become stronger
>Turns out it's because the village basically ordered him to do it
>haha bro why do u hate the leaf lmao
He didn't have to mind rape Sasuke
Itachi didnt need to mind rape Sasuke but he needed him to be stronger. The village military would never provide him the tools to do so.
And Itachi wanted to die anyway so that Sasuke could have his eyes.
>but he needed him to be stronger
why?
>short term
To kill Orochimaru, who wanted the sharingan to experiment on after letting the rinnegan slip away years ago.
>long term
To deal with the akatsuki since they were accruing vast power that would crush the leaf village.
i could understand wanting to purge the government that allowed this to happen but wiping the slate clean and holding the world at gunpoint to be nice to eachother wouldn't work in the long term
Has naruto ever told boruta about any of his "good friends"?
>we beat you in a 1v4 Sasuke. Now do you realize how powerful orochimaru is?
Sometimes I wonder why I fapped so much to that redhead. She was completely irrelevant and barely even had any screen time.
Because she's vulgar and looks like the type to step and spit on your wiener, perhaps even peg you with no lube.
I'm guessing you have a thing for cold b***hes, and she was the only character who fit the bill
Raikage was made for Hinata's 12 inch futa wiener
Yo that Hinata video from mycherrycrush though god damn muh dick.
Why isn't Sasuke having more children? His clan is dying and It's only heir will take another mans name when she's older.
Terrified that one of his children will steal the other's eyes for power, which has happened with consistency so far among the Uchiha.
When Sarada asked her parents about the mangekyo they shat a brick.
>Terrified that one of his children will steal the other's eyes for power
Doesn't that mean Sarada will go blind at some point?
She might get eyes from one of the Shin clones, although their powers aren't the best. She could also get Itachi's eye.
Most likely though she applies medical ninjutsu to keep her eyes working without trading them.
>She could also get Itachi's eye.
aren't those Sasuke's? And I mean, one eye got transformed into the Rinnesharingan version, is that transferable?
Sasuke doesn't have his original eyes, one of Itachi's became the rinnegan and the remaining one is EMS. Sarada is technically compatible by being part of the same clan, but her chakra reserves don't make it ideal for her.
That only happens to mangekyo when overusing the special powers. Uchihas dont lose eyesight just by using the normal sharingan.
The easy solution is just to frick like rabbits and to have Sasuke frick multiple women
doesn't matter, they will get sharingan at some point and just switch themselves to being called uchiha
naruto is supposed to be namikaze
... Now that I think about it, it's kinda fricked up that he hasn't met with any Namikaze family members. Uzumaki is understandable since they are all mostly scattered and/or dead.
Minato is the child that Tsunade gave up for adoption when Dan died. The Namikaze is his adoptive family.
nice headcanon
God, on top of being garbage in general, I hate Boruto designs so fricking much, it tries soooooo hard to pander to zoomers
"Boruto is bad" is a brainlet take. Especially when it comes from Naruto fans that have no problems with the writing in Shippuden.
>whataboutism
Yes, whataboutism, let's just ignore that most of the criticism comes from things that were introduced in Naruto and were far worse there.
Shippuden good
Bort bad
Simple as
>bu-
Cope
its so cringe, the only way they could have saved it was killing off naruto at the beginning and leaving boruto alone in the wilderness.
Is it true Boruto is complete fricking trash that i should ignore completely as it will retroactively destroy characters and story?
No it's great. You have wonderful fights like um...
Jigen vs Naruto and Sasuke was a LOT better than Kaguya vs Naruto and Sasuke.
I recommend it if you like incredibly attractive children.
>Only 2 of these characters get porn
Chocho deserves better
best girl isn't even among them
I watched about half of the episodes. The first arcs have good moments but it turns to shit later. Essentially it is very different in many ways, I would almost think of it as fanfic tier.
People accept that Madara plotted an 500IQ plan that involved lots and lots of moronic coincidences and cooperation.
This is somehow good writing.
Meanwhile Boruto, actually has been planned throughout since the start, it doesn't have any moronic bottlenecks in the story like the one I just explained. But people consider this a bad manga.
Just kek
>bad manga
no we consider it a godawful garbage manga
And yet, it's in Naruto that the author gave up and straight up told you it was all aliens and left it like that.
Again, at least In Boruto they are trying to explain you what these aliens do.
i really dont care for your zoomer cope
bort is garbage, sales are declining and rightfully so
>le sales le sales
The only sales you should care about is the money that falls in your personal savings.
I'm not here to discuss sales, just to point out you're a massive fricking hipocrite if you blame Boruto for something Naruto handled far fricking worse.
Madara put a brain washing tag inside Obito, for God sake. This entire plot was being held by duck tape.
naruto's filler arcs that i never saw are better than the entirety of burrito by a mile
not even close
boruto anime canon episodes are million times better than any non comedy filler naruto ever had
actually watchable and enjoyable, unlike 99% of naruto fillers
even flashback episodes are better than anything in bort
>Oh are they?
yes, by a mile
>yes, by a mile
Fricking assbreathing OGtard. I will shit every Naruto thread on Ganker is Boruto gets canceled because of the original series.
I don't want to go back to magical plug in eyes.
eek ook la
Oh are they? It doesn't matter, Kishimoto told you it all traces back to aliens that wear pijamas. That's super fun Eh?
Meanwhile Ikemoto is actually telling you these aliens are body parasites. That ain't the best plot ever, but it's something if the guy has to come up with something better than aliens in pajamas.
>burrito
Naruto catch phrase
>BEEEEE-LEAVE IT!!
Burrito catch phrase
>BUUUUUR-EAT IT!!
10/10 Japanese writing.
Btw, him calling his kid boruto is the equivalent of a guy called Jason calling his son Gason - just moronic and all of Japan should hang their head in shame that they love in a country where this was ever approved and given millions of dollars to proceed with.
I thought he was Boruto because
ボルト = Bolt (which he wears around his neck) which is a reference to Neji which is Japanese for Screw, and also like a thunder/lightning bolt for the Yellow Flash.
What's truly unforgivable is Sarada, who in Japanese is straight up the word for salad.
>bolto and salad
Sounds like what a low IQ soi couple could call their dog and cat.
They can't make it any more obvious they are making they shownfor kids
>hey, let's call him BOLT, like LIGHTING BOLT! Because he's cool and fast!
Only a 12 year old wouldn't have their eyes roll out of their head from cringe at that.
If you are over the age of 15 and watch this shit, I'm sorry but it's over for you.
bro you know every japanese name is also a word right...kakashi literally means scarecrow, ino means boar, tobi means kite
You can't put a couple of kana together without accidentally stumbling on a word.
their names are represented by kanji in japan, its a conscious decision not a coincidence
you are beyond moron
>guy who likes a kids show calling others moronic
Let me guess, you're also a brony.
no i just know how japanese names work...
Apparently not, you think anime is real life.
Wait until this guy realizes that 90% of the characters in dragon ball are named after food
And the rest are named after underwear.
>every japanese name
No, just names in your gay baby show. Go have your bottle, baby.
Same for western names, cept they are mostly latin or greek, so people don't know their meaning. There are even surnames like Smith and Archer.
Naruto are those little swirly things in ramen, that would have been obvious to any Japanese kid. A lot of the names are kind of generic in the series.
>Hatake Kakashi = Field Scarecrow
>Haruno Sakura = Spring cherry blossom trees
>Uchiha = Uchiwa fans
>Sasuke = Sarutobi Sasuke, famed fictional ninja and also the namesake for the third Hokage
>Orochimaru / Jiraiya / Tsunade = names of three famous fictional ninja
It would be like if Naruto was made in the US, but the main character was named Pickle and loved eating burgers. The setting would be fictional colonial America, Pickle's rival would be George Musket, his female friend Apple Pye, his teacher Horse Carriage, his town leader Washington, the three legendary soldiers Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams.
Remember that Naruto was serialized in Shonen Jump, a magazine for preteen boys.
>The setting would be fictional colonial America, Pickle's rival would be George Musket, his female friend Apple Pye, his teacher Horse Carriage, his town leader Washington, the three legendary soldiers Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams.
Would dig that.
>his female friend Apple Pye
Best girl.
Musket is cool
Sandshrew's name in Japanese is Sando (サンド), literally the word for sandwich.
No his name is Bort which is short for Abortion
Naruto had a lot of meddling from editors
The reason half the cast does nothing for the second half of the series is because they were supposed to die during the Sasuke retrieval arc but kishimoto was told not to because all the characters were popular
I wouldn't be surprised if it was like when editors were telling toriyama to create new villains because the current one isn't marketable during the androids/buu arcs
In all fairness editors saved Naruto from being full on furgay shit
>when editors were telling toriyama to create new villains because the current one isn't marketable during the androids/buu arcs
It wasn't even his editor, it was his former editor, who's been with Toriyama since the start, that told him 19&20 looked like shit as villains, and later that 17&18 look like shit too.
Toriyama wasn't forced to do anything, but he took the input to heart both times. One of the Cell transformations getting shafted was his then current editor telling him to get through it quicker, cause it looked like shit though.
Remember when the jougan was introduced in the manga and the (at the time) mangaka said he had no fricking clue what it does or why toei wanted it in the series
Kek, source? It's like the Walter White machine gun lol.
No it wasn't and the jogan is child of prophecy BS.
Boruto is merging his consciousness with Momoshiki, he's getting his power.
The jougan hasn't appeared in the manga at all stop making up bullshit.
>the bortschizo from Ganker obsessively posts here too
Kek, bort is shit you Black person, just like your opinion.
kys Narutard
Kawaki>>any Naruto villain
Imagine being married to the fricking titty queen of your class and only having two kids. I'd keep pumping her until they started coming out moronic.
who did sasuke end up impregnating?
karin
>ends up with the chick everyone literally had a piece of
kek
i guess you could say everyone had a bite
Gave his splooge to Orochimaru who fertilized Karin's Uzumaki egg, then Orochimaru implanted the zygote into Sakura so that she could be her legal parent.
>Sasuke wanted to frick Naruto so badly he settled for his clan member via stealth
Is this like that guy who married Elvis's daughter because he wanted to frick Elvis?
What the hell is even the power level in this?
Isn't Naruto by himself already obscenely powerful anyways?
it's random shit, literally
sasuke loses his rinnegan because bort stabs him
It varies pretty wildly by the arc. Sometimes the villains are rogue jonin level and other times are planet busters.
>its another kawaki sleeps with hinata episode
Nope, he respects Naruto too much to do that.
To be more accurate, it would be an episode where Kawaki sleeps with Naruto.
Best thing about Boruto were the threads on Ganker was when Sarada got the DNA results saying Karin was her mother. One of the funniest shitstorms I'd seen in a grip.
I will destroy you all with my Queen.
Why do OGtards mald so much at Boruto's success? What makes them be like this?
>Boruto's success?
>literally about to go on hiatus because its flopping so bad
LOL
Mald more OG-kun. Sasuke's manga was a bigger flop and so is going to be Minato's manga.
That remake is never going to happen, Boruto will come back in 3 months. Eat shit.
>mfw seeing sasuke and sakura punching literal dinosaurs during sasuke retsuden arc
Imagine as a kid someone telling you that in the future Sasuke will fight aliens and dinosaurs
You'd call him a total dumbass
Sasuke is my spiritual anime character. He loves reptiles just like I do.
The best scenes in Boruto are always with the old characters
QRD on the dinosaurs? Why Sasuke is attached on some lizard?
Is there a boy in the world who doesn't love dinosaurs?
Fair enough.
frick me
QRD on the lore?
Some Evil filler dude used a reanimation jutsu to turns chickens into dinos for some war. Sasuke tamed one and now he has to say goodbye.
>my dream is to restore my clan
>only has one fricking kid
God I hate how moronic the characters have become.
Sakura cannot handle having more children so Meno will have to take her place.
>a fricking decade of dry humping alien lore
>we still don't know shit about their home planet
You could watch a snail go around the world in this time span.
Someone should make a hokage simulator where you sit there and do paper work, occasionally tell Sasuke to go kill himself on a suicide mission and get yelled at by your children
Naruto adopted the child Hinata had with Raikage??
Worst girl won in Naruto. Sakura is best, Hinata is an unfaithful prostitute.
Literally and objectively proven to be the opposite.
I know the cuck shit probably spawned from Naruto betting raikage to spare Sasuke but was there ever a SINGLE scene in which the raikage was in the same frame as Hinata?
It's just american mentall illness spreads to their homosexual satellite states like worst Korea.
Japan is obsessed in shipping Hinata with Raikage in the doujins so there must be some truth to that
>japan
seems you're confusing asiatics and japs, but I don't blame you
>japan
its one schizo ns
All the cuck porn was a coordinated attack on Hinata's character by Sakura fans. They ended up commissioning so much of it that Hinata has become an NTR icon.
How the frick is Hanabi still single at 26?!
I'm single at 36
I'm single at 35. When it will end??
You already know the answer.
Yeah, but are you a sexy woman?
Sex with salads feet
qrd on burrito
Hebes
Imagine still liking this series, or shonen, past the year 2010.
Can Sauce get his teleport eyehax back? Or are they gone for good?
Is Kurama coming back? Or is Nardo permanently nerfed?
Both gone forever. They were both probably gods at the end of shipoodan. Needed a reset else it would be boring if hidden leaf had two unstoppable junk yard dogs at their disposal
ahh I guess that makes sense. It has been nice to see Naruto go back to his OG Sage Mode shenanigans
Nardo is permanently stuck inside a frozen time dimension with his wife.
If you ever had a case that Naruto had infinite speed or what have you (power level moronation), then here's your proof that he doesn't.
Whose idea was it to use fricking Asura and Indra to promote the new content in the game?
>adopted kawaki
Hmm, that might actually be worth coming back to the series.
Stopped around episode 30 or something.
Jigen gets his ass kicked, kurama died, and Sasuke loses the rinnegan. I just saved you like 70 hours of your time
>kurama died
Still mad
How does kurama die? I thought the tailed beasts just regenerate since they're sentient chakra masses. Also can't Naruto just resurrect his dad and take his half of kurama
He already took that kurama half and kurama used up 100% of his chakra fighting jigen so there was nothing to come back from
Cringe
He adopts Kawaki
Kawaki realizes what it's like to be unconditionally loved and ends up developing a deep devotion to Naruto who he believes is worth giving his life to protect
He develops a brotherly bond with Boruto even though he still acts standoffish
Kawaki loses his Karma, but feels an emptiness like he lacks the power to change things
Boruto's ayylmao further continues to take over him and Kawaki manages to reactivate his Karma without the ayylmao
Boruto and Kawaki mutually decide it's better for Boruto to die to save Naruto and potentially everyone else
Ayylmao gives up his chance to take over in an attempt to keep Boruto alive
Kawaki is upset because he feels like he failed, he must eliminate all the ayys to protect Naruto
Disagrees with the lifestyle of ninja, thinks Naruto's personality along with his line of work means he's destined to die early even if it's by giving his own life to save others
Kawaki admits to Naruto and Hinata his regret over Boruto surviving, tells them he'll face and accept whatever consequences including death for when he does succeed, even if it means destroying his relationships with everyone else, all so Naruto can be safe from the ayys
He traps them in a pocket dimension and goes to kill Boruto
Sarada arrives to stop the fighting but her Sakura genes kick in and Boruto loses his right eye to Kawaki in an attempt to protect her
Ayy reappears, gives a hesitant Kawaki the chance to escape
>Anbu are the top tier black ops Black folk from their village
>whenever they show it they get BTFO
Imagine the power level of the ninja police officer when the Anbu is considered trash
What was his problem?
