Not really. Large chakra reserves are only needed if the Sharingan is not yours, which is why Kakashi often ended up overexerting himself, but neither Sasuke nor Madara were ever said to have anything but normal chakra reserves and look at all the $hit they pulled...

Itachi's issues were not about chakra, but because he was physically ill.

I remember early in the series when he used the Tsukuyomi on Kakashi, he became exhausted and had to escape alongside Kisame though. When Jiraiya later tried to trapped the two Akatsuki, Itachi was once again weakened for using the Amaterasu. I don't know about the illness, but Itachi really showed signs of it when he revealed Susanoo to Sasuke. I wonder if it was because he never obtained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

Eternal would have helped him, but look at the difference between Kakashi and Obito.

The first time we see Kakashi use Kamui in battle, it exhausted him so much he was paralyzed for days. Meanwhile, Obito has been able to freely use Kamui for at least 15 years without exhaustion or even showing signs of sight degradation.

Obito had Hashirama's cells though. I've always thought that's what helped him use his mangekyou without the side effects.

Look at Sasuke. His vision started going bad very fast.

Because he spammed it as soon as he got it, specially Susanoo which seems to be the most taxing of the MS abilities, but it had nothing to do with low chakra reserves which is the main argument right now.

Translation for the sharingan explanation: "The sharingan is the genetic mcguffin to make you into a gary stu/mary sue in every ninja skill".

Even though Kakashi failed miserably in being Gary Stue and was mere great character?

Even though Kakashi failed miserably in being Gary Stue and was mere great character?

That was only because after a while everyone was getting one which made Kakashi's character look irrelevant by comparison, so to make him stand out Kishimoto basically retconned his ability to copy ninja moves until it was mentioned this last episode. So much for the copy ninja that barely copied anyone almost all series long.

Also, there's a reason I called it a mcguffin, since merely having it seems to magically put you on par with whatever strong opponent appears, did you not hear that explanation? Merely unlocking it you are instantly destined to be that much better at being a ninja than everyone else.

For example, the emo formerly known as Sasuke fighting all the Kages and somehow owning them even though they were more skilled, experienced and were all in the same room and actively trying to kill him.:uhoh:

Owning them? Sasuke was losing badly and only managed to survive because Obito saved him at the last minute. The only lasting damage Sasuke left on them was costing A (the raikage) his arm and if it weren't for Gaara, he would have been killed in the process of doing that.

Mad Pierrot

2017-09-19, 21:41

From what I remember Gaara interrupted the fight between Sasuke and A but it Sasuke didn't suffer major damages there due to the Susanoo that protected him from any taijutsu. However, it kinda looked there he started suffering Itachi's illness when the other Kages appeared and got saved by Obito when the little Kage (can't remember his name) attacked him.

Random14

2017-09-20, 05:25

I think Sasuke was losing around then, especially once the Mizukage joined the fight too. I figure Uchihas had above-average chakra levels, its just that with Naruto around even Sasuke's chakra looks "average". Which is why if anyone else obtained a Sharingan eye the incompatibility would drain them even faster (though ninetails chakra near the end of the series helped mitigate that, and a few other people were obsessed with combining Senju power to balance out that drain).

I forgot the new opening/ending won't start until next month, this new arc seems like the perfect time but it'll probably only be another few weeks. Nice that Sumire has a speaking role again, and looks like Iwabe will have a big role in this arc. I forget if we heard much about his background (aside from being held back at the Academy).

In some ways Boruto is more of a loser than Naruto was, with him complaining about Naruto so much (and the expectations everyone has of him as the Hokage's son). Wow, the Hidden Mist sure rebuilt fast, but its never that simple. Huh, the previous and current Mizukage will be there, which makes sense for an important kind of diplomatic field trip like this.

I do wonder who is the economic planner behind the five main Hidden Villages to be the way they are now. Because it looks to me their growth is because of diversifying and trade. During Naruto Part 1 Sand Village got hit economically because their daimyo wasn't funding them. Missions were the life blood of villages as seen with the Land of the Waves arc.

There seems to be trouble there now too going by the news bite. We'll probably see a grown up Inari and the Great Naruto Bridge later.

Finally, I can get back into the Anime again now that the last arc is out of the way, sorry folks not a fan of her character like a lot of you are so I skipped it.

This arc looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, poor Boruto can't get away from being known as the 7th son in other villages, people know who he is in his own but LOL He's famous as the 7th son other placesXD

I personally am a fan of Boruto's character. Did any one get freaked out that the one guy at the end of the episode was going to kiss him? Pretty eyes? What? XD

Looking forward to the rest of the arc, next weeks looks like fun.

I rewatched the episode, I hope we get more episodes of Boruto traveling to other villages before the TV adapted episodes of the film.

I know no man's a hero to his valet, but I really don't get Boruto. If strength is a measure of a dad's quality, then it's not like Naruto will lose to Sasuke. If it's how much time he spends with his family, then even Naruto at his busiest blows Sasuke completely out of the water.

No wonder the kage's worry for current generation. Old generation traveled to another country through dangerous forest or sailed the storm sea with wind powered wooden ship now current generation only need to enjoy the cruise on first class ship to travel to another country.

I get that, but you now, the peace should be peace, calm, only problems with criminals or other shit here and there. Naruto want to this generation have a better life and the shit of his age, and nobody is ready for Alien Invasion.

Well, I say this now, but in the past I complained about SS Omega where the Saint aspirants had a nice academy, a good environment, good beds and 3 meals for day where Tatsumi was beating the shit of the previous generation 24/7. Is a similar case.

I think it was a filler episode of shippuden where Naruto almost had to marry a Princess. I don't know if the writers of Boruto would remember stuff like that though, still I hope this they go on more trips like this. I want to see the other villages Naruto went to, how far they've come and Boruto interact with characters from there. I'm enjoying this one so far, next weeks looks like fun.

People sad about villages living in piece? Not every one feels like that though I guess if that helps. This is new to Boruto too, the village he lives in is so caulm and so far no ones felt different on this.

I'm wondering what Iwabe's beef with Kirigakure. Besides the well known graduation exam the village was notorious for several things in the past. The high number of Missing-Nin and the discrimination of Bloodline Limit users or clans. Theoretically Iwabe's folks came from Kirigakure defecting to Konoha.

It sad though, young Naruto promoted people to overcome the hardship by hardwork but the age he brought is to encourage people to life lazier and reluctant to overcome the obstacle.
"When I was your age, I had to walk through hordes of deadly ninjas whenever I wanted to go abroad! Yes, even to cross bodies of water. We had to walk on it. While fighting. In snow. Uphill. Both ways."

And Boruto only would say screw you dad.

Well it hasn't occurred to them to have a Hokage residence where the "First Family" is to reside where the Hokage can work too.

Heck you'd think a security detail should've been assigned to Boruto as there is a possibility he'll be kidnapped abroad. Not exactly a foreign concept as the Fire Daimyo has the Twelve Guardian Ninja that we can also see in the background in the last episode as a secret service. Mirai is part of Kakashi's security detail as a retire Hokage.

If you think about it Boruto and Himawari are kinda Main House Hyuuga. In the old days Branch House Hyuuga would protect the Main House.

Kanon

2017-09-27, 11:11

There we have it. Iwabe's parents were from the Mist, and his grandfather was killed by Yagura, the fourth Mizukage. I think that's the first time we heard Yagura's last name, and it's the same as Kagura's. Adding to that the physical resemblance, and these two are definitely related. It also explains why Kagura feels so uneasy about being given more responsibilities given that Yagura (manipulated by Obito) was responsible for the Bloody Mist. Or was it actually the Mizukage before him who was manipulated?

Random14

2017-09-27, 21:54

Lot of Hidden Mist history this time, including that their graduating class used to have to kill each other. So Boruto's gotten the hang of walking on water, and he is closer to a genius type since he didn't immediately charge in and attack. I wonder what Kagura's issue is.

This is probably why they need better security for this kind of thing, since a lot of them are kind of important (several of them are kids of high-ranking Konoha people, they've got Hyuga and Uchiha blood there, and Shikadai is related to the Kazekage too), but then there would be less of a plot. I like this series' focus on generational shift (like the mature Chojiro and the, erm, older Mei, glad they didn't drag out the marriage joke again).

So Kagura's in line for a lot of important things. Did they ever recover the rest of the swords? Last I remember they were used by zombies during the big war.

It was Yagura that was manipulated by Obito, though even before Yagura's reign the Hidden Mist was already known as the Bloody Mist.

*Sees Chojuro's spacious and uncluttered office.*

Naruto should really get a new office.

Iwabe's issue is that his grandpa he never met was killed by a Mist ninja. Dude your family is a bunch of ninjas it was business not personal. Remember you are hired mercs. Plus if grudges were kept ninja villages and the current alliance would not exist. Heck Nagato aka Pain started out because Konoha ninja mistakenly killed his parents and Danzou had to be an asshole.

A bunch of delinquents with nostalgia goggles because they never lived through it. The previous generation had reason to stop it and now the village isn't poor. You guys kidnapping a kid from another village means you are now Missing Nin. And do you know what Mist does to Missing Nin? They hunted by Hunter Nin.

On the shipping front even in Kirigakure Hiashi has an agent to push the plan. At least Sarada isn't like her dead uncle Itachi who didn't take a treat from his girlfriend.

On Kagura there is some trauma there relating to using a sword.

kampfer91

2017-09-28, 05:32

I think the problem with Kagura is that everyone expect him to become new Mizukage in time but really he just wants to support the Mizukage not become 1 >.< .

2017-09-28, 10:26

I'm liking this arc, I hope the next one focuses on taking another feild trip to another village, that'd be more fun to kill time till the film gets shown next.

Next weeks looks like fun. No girls get to show off fighting skills next week, guess writers felt they got that in the last arc LOL.

I'm liking Boruto's character this arc, it really shows his difference between him and Naruto, we all know how Naruto would have acted acted as a kid had that happened to him. Pretty good.

Mad Pierrot

2017-09-28, 19:18

Boruto's character must be really hard to write considering he needs to be entertaining and a bit immature due to his family issues. I wonder if the anime staff will change more stuff for him when he becomes a shinobi

Random14

2017-10-04, 09:36

Well, that kidnapping was over fast. Yeah, a bunch of punks fighting in the mist isn't exactly the best strategy. And at least Denki did escape on his own when he had a chance, so he's not completely helpless. So Kagura is Yagura's grandson, to no one's surprise. Not much happened aside from Kagura making friends and possibly moving forward from his trauma. The bigger reveal is that other ninja has shark gills, wonder if he's any relation to Kisame then.

New opening and closing this week, though neither song really struck me as great. Looks like Kagura might stick around longer than this arc given his appearance in both (unless they just adjust it to whoever the current arc's guest character is). Looks like next week is when this arc might get more serious. Although the teachers probably should keep a closer eye on the kids, but they cover the geopolitical situation a bit too.

Gintokifan22

2017-10-04, 11:04

LOL Those idiots, barking off more than they can chew. I laughed seeing them get wrecked hard, the kids didn't even have to use there ability's to fight these guys, that's just sad. Let me say, I didn't care about the guy who died in the end.

I hope Kagura does stick around longer, he'd be a great rival for Boruto.

Next episode looks more fun.

The OP seems to focus on Boruto and friends graduating and becoming genins. No hints regarding the movie arc, unless I missed them. I was surprised to see Kagura in it, but I guess they can always replace that short sequence later.

Kagura is Yagura's grandson, I thought he might have been his grand nephew instead, but I guess they wanted a stronger parallel with Boruto and Iwabe. He's a pretty nice guy, just has some issues he needs to deal with.

Boruto uses raiton in the preview, so he already knows two chakra natures, though he can't really use big jutsus yet. The most impressive part is that it seems nobody taught them to him, he learned by watching. He's way ahead of his father at his age.

Well, early promotional material for the movie showed Boruto using a Raiton jutsu, and tricking us into believing it was the Chidori with the sound effect, so it could be a hint to the movie plot.

Other than that, the fact that he throws the Raiton makes me think it could be "Jinraisen" jutsu he used in the latest chapter of the manga.

On the subject of the opening, I like the glimpse to Older!Boruto in the middle.

I'm disappointed at Konoha leadership. Seems they never told Kirigakure Yagura was controlled by Madara and later Obito.

Mitsuki certainly knows what happened and made a guess somebody is pulling the same thing.

Not only is the punk a wannabee that is pathetic he gets killed by his boss.

Oh Sarada won't be a submissive wife like her mom as she'll never let Boruto slack or run off like her father.

While the five main ninja villages are committed to peace some countries are still jockeying for territory and influence. Which puts Kirigakure in a hard position as its home country and main sponsor the Land of Water is one of them.

Fire country may be dragged into it due to alliances it has.

As an academy student, Boruto can already freely walk on water, use two type of nature chakra (Wind and Lightning), and can infuse weapons with nature chakra.

The best part is that, while Boruto is a prodigy himself, the rest of main cast is not that far behind him. This generation kicks all kinds of a$$. :heh:

Shizuma did turn out to be related to Kisame, although his actual relationship to him is unclear.

New seven swordsmen formed. Suigetsu will most likely get involved and defeat one or perhaps several of them. Mitsuki seems to have already noticed his presence.

2017-10-11, 15:28

I'm starting to wonder if Kagura's bloodlust is natural or if Shizuma did something to him (which would be another parallel to Yagura, being a puppet for someone else). Its Kagura feeling indebted to him more than anything else driving the plot at the moment.

Boruto is still as headstrong as his dad, most people would be more worried about being outnumbered six to one (and Boruto doesn't have the chakra for unlimited shadow clones). Still, he's much more skilled than Naruto was at that age, using elements and weapons at once.

Konoha needs better chaperones. Looks like next week will be the climax of this arc. Wonder what Suigetsu and Mitsuki are up to (they're definitely not working together at the moment).

ReddyRedWolf

2017-10-12, 05:39

I can see Chojuro's point during the kage meeting the next generation quality is left to be desired. To be a Seven Swordsman needs qualifications that these six never intend top do so thinking the power is in the swords not skill. Shizuma is just using Kagura because he knows they do not have either the political capital nor the strength to survive if the villages became serious. He is sorely underestimating the previous generation.

Boruto is a bit of an idiot. Still anti-authoritarian that he won't seek help even if it warrants to do so. Sarada goes along to watch over him.

I wonder if it would be revealed that Sarada has Sharingan in this arc. She is keeping it secret for now.

Of course Suigetsu is involved as he dreamed in his youth to rebuild the Seven Swordsmen but these brats won't be up to his standards. Mitsuki can sense him. I guess Boruto's team would be equivalent of Hinata's team in this generation.

Over a month and a half ago, I watched and finished the first arc of Boruto in its entirety.

I can be honest to say that the first fourteen episodes kept me not only entertained but interested with the plot. Moreover, they did a good job at making me care for many of the new generation characters as well as reintroducing the old, familiar characters from the previous Naruto era. Furthermore, it truly helped a lot that the animation staff avoided remaking and/or retelling the story of the Boruto film and then inserting into this new anime's storyline, at least that would seem to me for the time being.

Now, it's time to check out the second story arc.

Kanon

2017-10-18, 11:00

So we have Chojuro, Boruto, Sarada, Inojin, Shikadai, Mitsuki and possibly Suigetsu on the good guys' side, though the last four haven't made it yet. Kagura will most likely switch sides and defeat Shizuma at some point.

Chojuro's showing is rather poor so far, I really hope they'll have him defeat his three opponents on his own to prove he isn't the Mizukage for nothing.

Mad Pierrot

2017-10-18, 18:17

Guess this big battle will last several episodes (Sarada will get the focus next week while Boruto tries talk no jutsu on Kagura). I hope Chojuro actually does more things, the experience gap between him and these upstarts should be huge. I wonder if Shikadai and Inojin will just be forced to stay quiet or their memories will be erased somehow.

Nah I get what you saying, but if Boruto's confidence solving issue turn to be founded there will be no war AND no canceling school trip.

So the majority of the beef of five of the six wannabees is that their parents or folks weren't included in the war memorial.

Okay this like if Japan went the way of Germany by not putting war criminals on Yasukuni Shrine.

I find it sad that Kirigakure leadership never found out who placed Genjutsu on Yagura and can't set the historical record straight that they had been all been played because of politics. Ao with the Byakugan found out Yagura was under control. Of course Konoha and Oto knows who did it.

I enjoyed Sarada's fight. Reminded us just how hax the sharingan is even with just one tomoe. How long had it been since we last saw a sharingan user copy their opponents' jutsu?

Good to see Choujurou schooling those three too. Although in the end, Iwabe actually made a bigger impression than him by effortlessly dispatching one of them despite being an academy student.

2017-10-25, 14:31

It is nostalgic to see the Sharingan actually copy jutsu. For so long its only been about Mangekyou superpowers and Rinnegan evolution and all that. Not sure if its me, but maybe a few parallels to the Zabuza fight, with that copying? And Sarada definitely inherited her parents' intelligence.

Zabuza would be rolling in his grave to see that idiot who got his Executioner's Blade. Nice to see Chojuro take out three of them, its not a surprise that they talk big but they're not actually ready for how tough actual battle can be. I wonder if Chojuro will save Iwabe from that explosion (is that the first time we've seen his sword?).

Boruto hasn't done much yet, I hope to see him get the spotlight next week. Along with whatever help Mitsuki will offer. Still surprised Suigetsu isn't trying to get that weapon back, but guess he's keeping a low profile. I wonder if Samehada still misses Killer Bee.

It was one of the Sharingan's original abilities, but it was quickly thrown aside in exchange for all the bs powers Kishimoto gave it.

As far as I can remember, the last time the copy ability was used was when Sasuke partially copied Lee's Front Lotus set up all the way back in the chunin exam.

I liked the genjutsu aspect of the fight more than the copy. I don't really "buy" that knowing how to execute a technique is the same as knowing how to use it in combat as well as someone who's actually experienced with it. Or that every technique is an adequate defense against itself.

I'm not saying there aren't credible ways to use the sharingan's sight, but if you add the increased chakra consumption, I don't think it's that great an idea to play the mirror.

Found the Boruto OVA but subbed in Spanish

It uses music from Chikayo Fukuda who made the tracks for the CyberConnect Naruto games. All appearing characters are shinobis. Team Konohamaru is on a mission to stop a thief. Boruto uses a yellow Ransengan (?) to stop the thief. He is then saved by Choji. The whole thing turns out to be a misunderstanding and sadly the animation wasn't that good.

So lightning girl has father issues as she never got to know her dad and her mother was bitter about him but takes it out on her daughter. Yeah it sounds like Raiga impregnated a girl before going rogue without knowing he had a child. He had an adopted son in Ranmaru. Given that lightning girl thinks Naruto killed her father she doesn't really know what happened.

Comparatively Sarada is luckier than her. It just so happen her mother was devoted to her husband even if he doesn't spend time with her and their daughter.

Even if they could prove it decisively, there seems to be a lot of information control going on when it comes to the history and current disposition of the Uchiha clan. It's kind of funny, though; with all this talk of being slaves to cursed blood/destiny/daddy issues/etc., anyone who has the slightest clue of what they're talking about should immediately look to Sarada, and then need to dodge a kunai for their trouble.

I forgot Samehada could do that. But then Shizuma definitely isn’t at Kisame’s or Killer Bee’s level.

And so ends that fight. Pretty good action, and while its not a Rasengan, Boruto is already getting good with the elements. And Hiramekarei’s double handles come in handy. So next week will probably be the epilogue. Wonder how regular a character Kagura might become.

Sai tried to tell Inojin but decided to let him figure it out for himself. Ino prefers not this roundabout way.

It is Toneri, the villain from The Last. It's not the first time he appears in Boruto. He's had his eyes on Boruto for a while (pun non intended). He was reformed at the end of the movie and is apparently trying to prevent Momoshiki and Kinshiki from entering this dimension.

Well ain't that interesting... Boruto seems to be a lady killer as he has both the affections of Sarada and Sumire.

In the anime and movies at least Naruto's girls are outside the village which is why Hinata is undisputed. Hinata's AU self is in another reality and has her own version of Naruto, Menma.

Sarada's griping over Boruto Sakura reminisces back in the old days when Naruto gives her a headache. Of course she won't elaborate beyond that. That is the Black History of her youth. Naruto like her, she and Ino likes Sasuke, Sasuke is obsessed with revenge. Sasuke left her when he ran away to Orochimaru. Sakura faked confessed to Naruto to manipulate him into not being obsessed in bringing Sasuke back for her... Sasuke's first kiss is Naruto, Sakura's first CPR/Kiss is Naruto.

Parent teacher conferences weren't too bad. I wish we could have heard Mitsuki's conference, that sure would have been... different. Still a bit annoyed they let Orochimaru wander around so much, not to mention having him analyze Danzou's data, but guess he's too useful to avoid. And alien invasion is something Orochimaru would be against too.

So Kakashi is going to supervise Boruto's exam. I think this is the first we've heard of that? Yeah, Boruto is going to wish he just had to do a transformation jutsu. But I always like it when the series focuses on the post-war changes. Like Naruto and Hinata didn't really have any choice about their life paths (she had the Byakugan and that was one of the few ways for Naruto to even try to get friends). I don't think all kids were enrolled as ninjas but with how unstable things were it was one of the better choices.

I laughed when I saw that face. He doesn't even have to cover up the Sharingan anymore. Kakashi is sure enjoying his retirement.

I reminded of My Hero Academia since it looks like the kids will have to take on the teachers. Boruto's POV is kind of understandable, but also a bit hard to sympathize with him, as he's kind of the lazy genius, even moreso than Shikamaru was. But then that's graduation and life choices for you. And it helps develop the Sarada relationship as she's the only one who knows what Boruto did to help (but to everyone else it helps make Sarada look more like future Hokage).

ReddyRedWolf

Not all the kids want to be a ninja all their lives is an effect of ninja villages diversifying their economy. Back in the old days you lose the support of your Daimyo lord it means poverty for the village. Hidden Villages were after all mercenary towns. Those who were not ninjas were few like old man Ichikaru and his daughter Ayame. I remember back on the old days we were hoping Ayame don a kunoichi outfit during the Sasuke retrieval arc.

Too bad we never got to know the rest of the class like doll girl and bear paw girl. The little blonde shorty got to speak the first time. She wants to continue to middle school.

Strange that ninja education is now just one year. When it took years during Naruto's days with exception of geniuses like Itachi. This seems a bit unfair to me as those in ninja clans would get a leg up over others.

Unknown to Iwabe Naruto is a repeater but only because it seems he entered early. This is why despite being a repeater he graduated in his age group.

I havenÂ’t posted in a awhile.

I am still enjoying the series despite that some critics despised the show for being slow paced, and
uninterested plots ( I canÂ’t blame them itÂ’s not a life to death mission after all). I am glad that after all the hard work of Naruto and his generations to save the world it shows us some prosperity. I think thatÂ’s a good thing.

In the last episode, it shows that not all students were obliged to be a shinobi. They have a choice, but back in the days, it was different. I am impressed that the anime has used some filler episodes from the Shippuden. I hope that it continues using some ideas from the past for us Naruto die hard fans to enjoy.

I actually like BorutoÂ’s character development. He is confused about what path he wanted to take and I think this will foreshadow the future episodes to come. He is still immature in some ways, and his ideology in life is different. He does, however, inspired a lot of characters in the series without knowing it. And, the anime uses The Â“awkwardÂ” Mitsuki to explain it. Haha. Kudos writers.

Boruto cares to be with his classmates, but he did eventually realized that they have all different interest in life. I think he is much different from Naruto when they were a kid. And, it shows in school works, and also in handling situations like being with friends and graduating with his classmates. He is selfless and has more empathy than Naruto was because he wanted everyone to succeed with him, but at the same time he tried to understand them as well. I think that he will be more serious because he gets heartbreaks a lot from dissapointments in his life. Now, I know why Sasuke said he was a bigger loser than Naruto was. He does really care for everyone.

For the future episodes, IÂ’m excited to see old Kakashi in action. He does care about the future of the village. He still wanted the future generation to have a will of Fire. LetÂ’s the bell grabbing begins!

Boruto is a real genius yet still takes after Naruto. He missed the hint to steal the exam questions but got a perfect score anyway. Kakashi's going to do his best to deal with that attitude. Boruto treating this like its just school rather than training for warfare is annoying, but it was fun to see Kakashi pop that balloon- they've got plenty of veterans, who needs them?

Well, guess they never heard all the details about Naruto's bell test, no way are they going to fail most of the class. The teachers will probably judge based on competence, and so far Boruto's handily failing in that category. Though power-wise even Kakashi notes he's at chuunin level already.

Poor Shino, knocked out by Mitsuki already, even if he was holding back. Nice to see Anko in a battle again after all these years. Boruto's got to look underneath the underneath if he's going to pass.

Too bad Boruto can't try to use spoilers against Kakashi, but his mother would kill him if he looked at that kind of stuff. :p

Really curious about the results between Kakashi and Boruto more than anything, I'm hoping no one comes to his aid and he deals with this on his own.

How long till they officially choose teams and graduate? Sandra still isn't apart of Boruto's.

Back on Naruto generations the kids really being individual under their own clique. Sasuke being emo, Sakura and Ino being rival, Hinata the shy, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji being the guys and Shino...yeah...
Boruto generations actually has been united before them set off become genin themselves. I hope this exam can deliver a devastate strike to Boruto ego, it is good to see Boruto overconfidence get cut down by Kakashi.

Anko still has despite being older and gaining some pounds. I guess her being a tomboy licking the blood off Naruto's cheek is part of the black history of Konoha. She can't do that anymore with these kids.

As for the Sarada-Sumire team up it is interesting for now as these two has the highest affection for Boruto. Besides Mitsuki but he is a guy.

Speaking of our boy Mitsuki yeah there is something about this kid that makes him a match for Shino.

As for Boruto Kakashi is maybe expecting something more from the son of Naruto. However while Boruto is Naruto's son he isn't Naruto as a stark difference between them is that the elder is dumb academically but a hard worker and the son is a genius but lax. It didn't even occur to either of them to cheat.

The Boruto anime is being directed by Hiroyuki Yamashita (alongside Abe) who also directed the movie. According to Yamashita, there were mutliple scenes that had to be removed from the original movie because of the length. The two most notable examples are how Sasuke found Kinshiki and why the Ino Shika Cho got so few lines. That's why I think this movie would be better seen in tv especially considering Pierrot didn't do padding to Sarada's story arc.

Its nostalgic to hear that line of Kakashi's again, but then that was always the point of the bell test. I wonder if Boruto really could have broken his own arm (not like he has Naruto's crazy healing factor), but then its more the idea of causing the others to fail because of him that hurts more.

Iwabe looks so happy to finally pass the final exam and become an official genin. As well as seeing a few of the side characters' powers (I hope they stay as recurring roles). Nice touch with the headbands too. So another test next time and huh, will this be the first time Mirai has had a speaking role? Wait, has she appeared in the anime before even? Looking forward to the cell assignments (I just hope Naruto has time to show up for the celebration).

From what I get, Boruto is acting like a teenager before graduating from high school. He feels bad from separating from his friends, but the pride he has over them still gave Kakashi a strong support to pass the test so I'm a bit confused. Still, he will remain with Sarada and Mitsuki for the following episodes so he won't feel that lonely.

That's a good question. It's true they weren't married, but I think Kurenai could have had her take her father's name regardless, as a way to honor him and his lineage. In any case, it sure isn't a secret, since the first thing Konohamaru said when he introduced her is that she is the third hokage's granddaughter and his cousin.

I find it funny that Sarada wants to change teams due to compatibility. Does she even know how they did it during Naruto's days?

The three man formation was set up as between high tier, middle tier and low tier members so they can help each other's growth. A combo of an honor student with Sharingan, a prodigy and the spawn of Orochimaru are placing too many high tiers on one team.

I still don't understand what the charade was about. Or what Mitsuki saw in Boruto's file.

Me neither but from what I gather Orochimaru himself expected Mitsuki to follow a third option rather than recover his original memories. The fact there is Boruto info in Orochimaru's research must be still hiding about this guy.

This is just a theory but I think Orochimaru developed an interest in Naruto after war's end as he appears in the wedding epilogue. The fact that Naruto received the Six Paths Sage Mode might have caught his attention which resulted in Mitsuki also receiving Sage Mode. However, according to the wiki Orochimaru expected to Mitsuki form his own identity by meeting Naruto's son.

Random14

2017-12-27, 17:39

My best guess for the various attempts is that Orochimaru created Mitsuki with the potential to achieve Sage Mode (which I think we saw Kabuto did, but not sure we ever saw Orochimaru in sage mode), but it required a certain amount of pressure to activate it, which is why they probably redid that stand-off over and over.

Its a bit annoying seeing Orochimaru do so much when Konoha is supposed to be keeping an eye on him, but whatever, too late to change that by now. And ever since Orochimaru was revived by Sasuke, he's decided to watch others change the world rather than knocking things over himself, and creating an independent-minded child is part of that, rather than just another minion.

Seeing Mitsuki so chummy with his parent in series is a bit odd, compared to how this background was originally presented with only the Boruto movie and gaiden as background. I kind of wish the series had added a few more scenes to help adapt it better, but guess its better to just have the Mitsuki background finished in one episode, then back to the Team 7 stuff.

I kind of hope for more Naruto reminiscing next time, with Boruto demanding higher ranked missions. Though theirs probably won't turn out as badly as the bridge mission did.

Tenzen12

First of all, anime is superior to gaiden and movie (with exceptions of part that overlap), and as far as I am concerned in case is of any discrepancy it's mistake on part of later two. As for Orochimaru, I don't see why should Konoha interfere with little family trip Orochimaru make as long as he doesn't do anything shady.

Naruto is right no mission is easy. His first mission was chasing the cat of the daimyo's wife and got scratches for it.

It makes sense Hinata was worried for her first mission as back then other villages aren't above kidnapping genin. Kumo attempted to kidnap her when she was younger during a treaty. Kumo also tried to kidnap Kushina when she was a genin as she was Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.

The new Team 7 is certainly talented for their age but what they lack is experience.

Ok there is no ninja village conflict but rogue ninja are about. This one is smart not wanting conflict with one of the big villages. Just his bad luck these are the children of Naruto, Sasuke and Orochimaru. Damn if you do damn if you don't.

I think the village head should be black listed for hiring a mission on false pretenses. There is a reason for these mission rankings.

The whole bridge thing seems to be a call back to the Land of Waves arc. Wonder if Boruto knows a bridge is named after his dad.

Oh yes Mitsuki seems to have shipping glasses on for those two.

I think they flipped the archetypes from the previous generation. What if Naruto and Sasuke weren't orphans we get Boruto and Sarada. Only with some family drama. Again we have an Uchiha since innocent Obito that wants to be Hokage. inspired by Naruto. Boruto doesn't want to be Hokage and he has the eye hax. Finally what if Orochimaru wasn't a dick but a bro we get Mitsuki.

At least it was a short arc, back in Naruto a filler arc like this would have taken at least four episodes. And Sarada toned down the nagging a bit, not to mention both her and Mitsuki make fun of Boruto's father issues.

So Konohamaru can fire off his (Wind?) Rasengan? Well, not like these guys would ever last long once he got serious (surprised he held back even after they brutally killed that traitor), as well as showing another effect of the current peace time. And nice callback with the name at the end.

Steal from the rich give to the poor cause the rich steal from the poor... Wut? Noble thief himself has a skewed Black and White view.

I know they are world building with the poverty gap portraying Konoha as an uncaring bunch outside their village but the economic welfare of other villages isn't their scope. It is the local village leadership and the Daimyos. Heck we saw that in the previous arc with Green Banks village surviving because of their late village leader's foresight.

Remember these Ninja villages are autonomous from the Daimyos government while receiving funding to be their army essentially. This era however the main five villages as far as we can tell diversified their economies bringing it investments for their prosperity. This is to avoid cases like Wind Country withdrawing support for Suna. In fact we see Kiri not follow the Land of Water government pushing for a territory grab that would lead to war with its allies as it is detrimental to their interests.

Konoha rebuilt their village from scratch and like other allies lost a number of ninja in the great war. Their success now as a modern city wasn't because they stole from from others but a testament to their own industry.

Given this kid is likely from the same clan as Haku he is probably doing this to find acceptance even in a gang or as a criminal hero. Haku was persecuted in the Land of Water as villagers blames Blood Limit users for the wars. However it is an interesting trivia the clan is said to have its origin in the Land of Snow. The first place we saw trains and the like in the first Naruto movie.

Of course the thief would clash with village ninjas as now they are more than just mercenaries but act as civil servants in a way.

Both Boruto and Sarada are impulsive doing things on their own unsanctioned. It'll bite them in the ass one day.

So besides something like Chinatown which products from other villages and countries are imported Konoha also has a bad side of town where there is black market illegal stuff. Weird under Naruto's administration but it is a ninja village.

Speaking of being a ninja village I know kids are exposed to weapons at an early age but it doesn't excuse securing them particularly explosive tags.

Too bad it'll probably take nearly decade to reach this point, unless the manga suddenly picks up the pace.

I don't know. I mean Boruto seems more like a multimedia franchise rather than a single manga considering it is connected with all the novels, anime while the movie will be definitive version of the Momoshiki arc considering they are adding stuff that not even manga had. At least this is what I understand. Still, it would be too early for the manga to reach the future stuff considering it's barely 5 volumes long

Well shit, talking about being a dick.

Btw, stop with the shipping theories and let's do another theory:

How many friends Boruto needs to see die to become in this?

According to Kishimoto, he let Kodachi have the liberty to kill Naruto if he wanted to cause a major impact on Boruto with the flashforward from episode 1 indicating his possible death. Still, Studio Pierrot must already know considering they got Kawaki has a voice actor which means they know even information about him.

Other than that, it kind of looks like Boruto will receive a major wound similar to Kakashi based on the scar. The blue marks though, seem like an extension of what happened to Boruto's hand in the manga during the battle against Momoshiki.

However, according to the wikia, Boruto is 16 in that scene so we'll have to wait (how old is he in this series now?)

Boruto just graduated the academy so... 12 years old?

Liked this one more. Especially with the whole ambushes and the fact a lot of characters (even Katasuke) joined forces to track the Byakuyas. Now I guess the next episode will be climax.

So the Jonin sensei of Sumire's team is Hanabi huh?

In the old days it was just Forbidden Scrolls now they have hard drives with Jutsu data. Bet that isn't Ninjutsu data but games.

I definitely against killing Naruto as that really insult for what Naruto manga has established to us so far.
But for some reason i have uneasy feeling Kishimoto / Kodachi going to pull some time travel shit for deus ex machina solution.

For some reason I didn't make the connection. Maybe because Hanabi was still wearing the same outfit and not a jounin outfit. I thought she was just there to help.

If she's really their sensei, we can name that team "team best girls".

I was wondering about that, seeing Hanabi standing behind Sumire's team. Was never sure what her role was, as we only saw her at the Hyuga place, compared to Konhamaru's group being seen as active teachers.

Well, that was careless, leaving the research center unguarded (though they're probably still a bit away from ninja tools). Still, nice to see Naruto give a leadership speech. A corny speech, but that's the right thing for these kinds of moments. I hope this arc ends in two more episodes. So Boruto will fight the boss, Shikadai his friend, we'll probably find out the boss killed the parents, and then one episode of wrap-up.

I kinda want an arc focused on that team.

I guess this was more of an arc about Ryogi than Byakuya in general considering the large focus on this. Still, in the end Ryogi was a good guy who crossed between shades of grey to survive. He accepted his criminal actions but I don't know if it's too much.

Also, they are already building up the Momoshiki arc with the last minutes of the episode.

Kanon

2018-02-28, 17:41

Seems unfair to punish Ryogi when he was just being manipulated, by his parents' killer to boot!

I liked that Shikadai was resistant to genjutsu because Mirai used him as a guinea pig all the time. Makes sense for Asuma's daughter to be close to Shikamaru's family.

Mad Pierrot

2018-02-28, 18:12

Ryogi clearly said he knew Gekko's self from the very beginning but he still found him like a reason to live. It kind of reminded me of Kimimaro. The guy also suffered a tragic life but he still decided to work for Orochimaru's as that was his only will to live. I think Gaara clearly said that. Still, Naruto caught Gekko, so I doubt Konohagakure will give Ryogi a big imprisonment.

ReddyRedWolf

2018-03-02, 09:52

Did Gekko really think he could pull a fast one with one of the major ninja villages with the over powered Hokage leading it?

Gekko was sweating there at the end. You have to wonder if Konoha still has its interrogation and torture division. He did try to steal military secrets.

So far the antagonists has been low level crook ninjas that think they can one up shinobi from the villages where there are still a ton of great ninja war veterans around.

As for Ryogi being in jail it is probably temporary as under Naruto's administration both Sumire and the Shins got a second chance at life.

What the I don't even... Mirai has been using Shikadai as a guinea pig for her genjutsu practice?! That is totally abuse-able. The Nara line is cursed to be dominated by tomboys.

That was probably what I'd call this series' weakest arc so far. It had some setup, but especially for this last episode, a lot of it was just "undo genjutsu". The bad guy turned out to be just as mean and shallow as we expected, and then Naruto showed up to stop him. Maybe he was out of their league, maybe not, he didn't do much fighting since he just used Ryogi (and everyone else) as living shields.

I doubt Ryogi will be stuck in jail that long, since he's somewhat sorry about the whole thing. And looks like its already almost time for the chuunin exams, with the focus on Team Repeater, er, Team 5. Wonder how Iwabe will make up for his earlier mistake.

Huh, so Naruto is still a genin even after all these years. I wondered if he had gotten around to the chunin exams during the time skip, but guess not. Well, when he's quite probably the most powerful ninja in the world (with only a little competition) guess the rank thing slipped his mind. :heh:

I liked seeing Udon get the spotlight for once, since usually Konohamaru is the only one to get screentime from that trio. Next week looks fun, with the focus on the girls and Hanabi as their teacher. I'm interested to see what her teaching style is.

Hanabi uniform is totally mismatched, she should wears Shinobi jacket and Konoha headband that symbolize she is Konoha shinobi. I do not recall Hinata and Neji wears striking clothe like that she is the only Hyuuga being different.

Now I think neither Naruto or Sasuke ever took another exam. The latter sounds believable considering he left the village but I wonder about the former considering he kept doing missions.

Maybe it's because she's the heiress of the Hyuuga family?

Hinata is the princess too but she wore normal gears, heck most Hyuuga members has introduced wears standard Konoha gear including Hiashi.

Maybe it's a result of the world not being as dangerous as it was in the past. The nations arenot constantly looking to screw each other over anymore and Hanabi is only teaching a genin team, which means that she shouldn't be going on dangerous missions that much. Also Kurenai and Anko didn't wear the standard Konoha gear either.

That Naruto is still a genin is hard to believe, since years passed between the end of the war and the day he was appointed Hokage. Hell, he should have been made an honorary jounin as soon as the war ended. I know we're not supposed to think about this seriously, but Naruto never moving past genin in the manga has always been a disappointment to me. I always wanted him to take the exam again and pass the same way Killua did in Hunter x Hunter.

Good point about Kurenai and Anko.
