ive only read like half the chapters of boruto but i can't imagine them coming up w/ a plausible storyline that involves naruto losing any fight ever given that he and sasuke were so ludicrously more powerful than literally any other ninja, alive or dead at the end of the story.

too bad ninja magic is so simplistic. otherwise, they could force sasuke to be a decent human being or die, which would guarantee his death.

Why is this so bad when the anime is so good?

Also seriously how old is she supposed to be, because that was just bizarre. I get this "I am reading a knock off" sort of feeling, it's just so offputting.

You could do a storyline where a bit before the flashforward they send out emissaries to chakra using ... We'll say Cowboys, or whatever ... and the other guy in the flashforward ends up convincing these massed armies that ninja jesus (jesii? does sasuke count?) is actually some sort of ninja tyrant and they send in massive waves of chakra gatlings guns that eventually just defeat Naruto via attrition. And then all that devastation is actually post-world war etc

Or in an ideal world that flash forward was all a fake out and Boruto doesn't turn into a dogshit emofest.

Eh. Sasuke cares about people.

Also Death would be a pretty surefire way to avoid having to be a father to his daughter and wife.

Sad thing is he's probably making the right decision knowing how bad Uchiha's gently caress up at everything.

even though it is absolutely true that his presence would gently caress everything up, he could still write letters, send gifts, maybe even arrange to meet them outside of konoha once in a while. if a guy ditches his family and cuts off all contact it isn't because he cares about them too much.

That sexy Sarada bullshit is a shame, because I like the things Boruto is doing. And the interaction with Sarada is actually nice. "I understand, Boruto. Do your thing, Mitsuki and I will handle the mission. You can count on us!" That's a much better team dynamic than Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura had at the start of the series.

Of yourse the flashforward means that the manga story will turn to poo poo eventually, I just hope it won't happen anytime soon.

Sasuke wannabe, with a side order of Danzo (even if Boruto might not know about Danzo). Boruto wants to be that top ninja who goes out on the dangerous, can't tell anyone about it missions and do the things the hokage can't or won't do.

Boruto turning into Danzo would be loving awesome. Starts injecting himself with Hashirama cells to power up his weird rear end hybrid eyehax and sprouting eyeballs all over while brainwashing children on loan from Kabuto. Maybe he could get some puntastic catchphrases like I SEE WHAT THE HOKAGE DOES NOT while his 17 eyeballs all open to start at his opponent.

Boruto will not be that interesting.

sasuke really didnt do THAT much evil poo poo in naruto. like if u just list off his accomplishments its a lot of killing guys the leaf otherwise also wanted dead, and then bringing the hokages to save the world, and then directly fighting madara/the rabbit lady to save the world.

We're talking about a series that people are choosing to read/watch after the prior series ended with the final boss being the author's misogyny made manifest out of nowhere.
Like, the bar for how bad something can be and still get an audience seems to be pretty low here.

i still cannot fully wrap my head around how that was considered an even remotely appropriate ending. like, for all its faults, madara was perfectly set up to be the final boss and yet

kishi wrote himself into a corner with madara, who had gotten so ridiculous that kishi couldn't think up a way for him to be beaten. then he was encouraged to stretch it out a bit longer, so in comes a mute moon lady out of nowhere. i mind the moon lady a lot less than i do obito's 20 consecutive heroic sacrifices, though.

I readily admit for me that Naruto is something I read because I love trainwrecks. It filled a Dominic Deegan shaped hole in my heart. The ending was truly one of the most amazingly awful things I've ever seen.
I loved every second.

Seriously, read it. It is oddly fitting. Like, she's not even allowed to trash talk and has to have a man do even that for her. Like I know we joke about Kishi's issues with women, but Jesus Christ the ending is like a cry for help.

He's not even a man. Well, he's male, but he's a black blob, and I'm not sure what he's a metaphor for, but a carrion eating blob was the big bad behind the series. I was flipping through the wiki while trying to figure out some crap from Boruto that doesn't make sense and he was even loving with the sage of six paths' sons.

Disagree, Danzo had some interesting stuff at work. That crazy body horror stuff being injected in Boruto would be novel.
