The next arc in the anime is Boruto and Sasuke traveling to pre-shippuden

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Ended up watching the recent episodes. 127 is Boruto and Sarada on a quest to buy Make-Out Tactics since Jiraiya wrote that book and they want to learn about him. 128 kicks off the arc proper, so i skipped 'till near the end and saw Boruto and Sasuke get transported and realize when they are.

This looks like a fun arc so far, and it’s nice to see Jiraiya and Tsunade again at any rate.

Yeah, I’ve kind of been enjoying this arc so far (even if the plot seems like it’d be a better fit for a movie rather than just a series of episodes), hopefully that’ll last all the way through.

Speaking of which, aside from the initial one that’s already been redone in a much better way by the series itself why haven’t there been any Boruto movies as of yet?

Am I just completely off, or did he already figure out exactly what's going on? The way he started looking at Boruto and Sasuke after he was being told the situation was really suspicious

I'd say he knows exactly who Bort is, but might not know exactly who Sasuke is (beyond very clued in). Sasuke hasn't been showing off his Sharingan and he and Jiraya didn't interact much in the anime IIRC.

Kakashi OTOH, were he present, would know Sasuke by sight, and infer the identity of Bort about five seconds later.

Also Boruto kind of gave himself away the second he used the Rasengan (if I recall correctly only a handful of ninja at the time actually knew that technique and one of them was dead), Jiraiya certainly seemed to take notice of it at any rate.

That said, I’m curious if Kakashi’s going to show up at some point though.

I was thinking they might genjutsu Sakura into forgetting the picture. Dunno if that’ll work on Jiraiya though.

Sarada's design alone ensures that, if at some point the mangaka gets caught for child porn, my response will be either a surprised pikachu meme or a Fry shocked meme.

God the art style is so bad. I've learned to ignore it and just enjoy the story, but the front page is so bad.
I don't know why, but Mitsuki being acknowledged as the son of Orochimaru makes me chuckle a little. Probably because I love Orochimaru.

Catched up on the manga and well, there's just ohtsuki's popping up all over now huh. One being there in the movie was bad enough but now the manga has its own one. Power levels are already hosed.

I do wonder what was wrong with her Sakura Lite outfit. Pants (or at least shorts, I guess) are cool and good, Son of Naruto manga maker.

You don't throw down a question like that and not know the answer. Especially when the guy you ask jumps three feet in the air and then freezes like a deer caught in the headlights.

Jiraya knows it's time travel fuckery. He won't dig for paradox-creating info, though, so long as cards are on the table about Urashiki.

It's like that arc where Spidey has to test out a prison filled with his super villains, only instead of him getting egged on my JJJ to do it, it's the equivalent of Uncle Ben going "do it for your allowance."

Mitsuki I can see, just tell everyone he's Orochimaru's wayward son and all the inmates will probably just nod sagely and try to avoid shanking him or anything else that would piss off the snake guy too hard for the Akatsuki.

Bort? Prison bitch on day one.

e. Problem solves itself, Mitsuki tells the general population Bort is his prison bitch, thank you very much, take up any question and concerns with this highly venomous snake up his sleeve. Bort laughs it off, Mitsuki gets to publicly feel Bort up to enforce his claim, gay snake is quietly excited to spend quality time with his boycrush.
