Naruto just wanted everyone to stop hating him and ended up having everyone accidentally love him because if his natural idiot hero charisma.

Boruto is That Guy, the one who knows everyone's phone number and birthday off the top of his head and will be the first person to notice your new haircut or shoes.

Mitsuki's arc was quicker than expected, at least as someone who hasn't read the manga. I was hoping for a bit more of Mitsuki's older brother or finding out what happened when he met with Orochimaru and the older Mitsuki (does he have his own name?) again after that. Still, seeing him go Super Snake Saiyan was pretty fun at least and it did make me more interested in his background and character. So job done I guess. It's also pretty consistently funny that Orochimaru probably took Naruto's friendship and forgiveness more to heart than anyone.

Mitsuki is open about his feelings for Boruto. Sarada is tsundere.

Boruto will end up marrying Class Rep.
Mitsuki will end up making his own children.
Sarada will end up forever alone with only her edge to keep her company.

At best, she might finally achieve her dream of becoming Hokage (making her the first Uchiha to ever be considered for the position). Speaking of which, hope she doesn't wind up going nuts or something later down the line (or at the very least, she winds up taking after her late uncle more than her dad).

Rock Lee is married to the fountain of youth and taijutsu.

But in reality, Kishimoto said in an interview that they haven't drawn her / come up with who it is, so it's probably some random person made.

I hope she has an inverted bowl cut, and there's literally just a bowl of hair sitting face up on her head. And that she stores some stuff in it, because gently caress it, why not. Make it Ten-Ten, and have her store scrolls there now.

Oh come the gently caress on. Did Kishi seriously think everyone wouldn't rabidly be wondering who was actually crazy enough to bang Rock Lee the moment they saw he had a kid?

Rock Lee is incredibly confident, and chicks love confidence. Plus he's a goddamn war hero.

I think the hilarious part is Metal Lee is neither of these things (yet).

My honest feeling is that Rock Lee is an orphan, with his parents possibly killed in the 9 tails attack. When he's hospitalized after Gaara nearly kills him, no one shows up. The fact that he looks up to Might Gai like a dad seems to validate this.

I enjoy the gatling gun versus power armor poo poo the manga is currently dealing with. The only thing is the dumb future opening thing we must inevitably lead to cuz otherwise it'd be cool if the age of the ninja really was gradually phased out and eventually it's just a series with people shooting ninja RPGs at each other and poo poo. until it's finally the stealth Mario continuation everyone really wants.

I don't read the manga, but does the use of guns have anything to do with why ninjas are being phased out?(besides all the peacetime)

Who could've seen this coming. A giant gatling gun was used for shooting. Oddly, it shoots chakra, seems like loading kunai would've been a better idea...or you know bullets.

IIRC there's a flashback to when they first met although I don't know if it's anime only or not - Gai takes him on as a student after being inspired by his desire to keep training without chakra.

I don't see why it would be, given the speed that characters often act and react within the manga as well as the quality and nature of defenses even kids only really started their training can achieve. Chakra seems like it'd have a greater effect on that magic shielding than a kunai or bullet.

With chakra you don't have to worry about lugging ammo around or running out of it. Granted you'd need to be careful of how much chakra you're using, but as an expert ninja Ao can probably control the amount he puts in.

I was thinking that too, but then I remembered that a ninja could feasibly store all their ammo in scroll ammo "clips". Just summon each projectile the moment before it's fired.

I'd still love to see Tenten having got the opportunity to cut loose, and just unleash the most improbable and silly things from scrolls. Gatling guns, tanks, skyscrapers, showers of thousands of needles at once, whatever. Especially if she appears in the background Prince from Katamari Damaci style, picking up random objects for dozens of episodes before hand.

chakra gatling guns are basically mass-produced narutos. it's not like naruto ever used stealth, so the world is just following his lead and focusing on brute force instead of traditional ninja poo poo.

I suppose that's true, but scrolls of holding exist.

Fun part is that if they would combine those it would make Tenten even more useless. Great, you can throw weapons really accurate, let me just try this minigun.

Tenten is genuinely in love with weapons of all types, I wouldn't be surprised to find out she's a master of all guns.

But given how guns in shounen work--and since in the flashfoward Boruto is still using a dinky little sword--all of Tenten's fights are like that scene in every Schwarzenegger movie where he stands still as dozens of men fire wildly at him and miss while he shoots back with pintpoint accuracy.

Except here Tenten is the army of goons and Schwarzenegger is an alien god.

God, it just occurs to me that Boruto is an alien invasion story.
