Sorry for being vague but the subreddit wouldn’t let me use shinjutsu in the title. I know that Shibai could use shinjutsu once he reached a certain level but can lower lever Ōtsutsuki that are consuming chakra fruit and growing their power level use shinjutsu? Is shinjutsu exclusive to him because he transcended? More specifically, can Momoshiki use shinjutsu? He has consumed chakra fruit and has merged with other Ōtsutsuki (Kinshiki). I know he has some sort of foresight from NNG but they haven’t fully explained that ability yet. Is it shinjutsu or just some base Ōtsutsuki ability?

The story is clearly set between Shippuden and nng, and will likely show Naruto and Sasuke fight in between the two. I have no idea how Narutostans are coming up with the Boruto is decanonised story. From the looks of it shadow Rising won’t last too long either, it seems like a mini series akin to jjk modulo.

Boruto is here to stay, it’s successful, and was actively being advertised in shibuya the other day, if it were unsucceaful they wouldnt be advertising in goddamn shibuya would they, right before a Naruto even alas. Pull yourselves together Narustans, stop being a hive mind of misinformation and pure toxicity.

Mine are:

1. Boruto

2. Kushina

I originally read the series but dropped it because nothing was really happening. I picked it back up later and it still felt like every chapter was teasing some major event that never actually happened.

Last I remember, they revealed Jiraiya had a clone, Kawaki was hanging out with that hot girl and her little brother who can’t get hurt. I dropped it and when I picked it up again there was a bunch of new villains who looked like the previous main villain showed up and started bullying the old villain.

Has anything significant happened since then, or is it still just endless teasing with no real payoff?

Naruto and Sasuke will encounter them in Shadow Rising and they will be the great threat of this manga

I don't support ai art I did this cuz lowkey I suck at drawing

Momoshiki must remain a villain until the end.

Like, can we please just appreciate that we're getting new Naruto content, instead of turning it into a pissing contest? Why are we arguing about whether Boruto is being "decanonized"? (Spoiler: it's not.)

boruto will die and put karma and resurrect inside jura body, so there will be no more momoshiki when boruto revive

Arent the aliens immortal or have long life spans?

Since boruto is 100% otsuski now down to his very dna even if you somehow remove momo from him

Oh god he getting the modulo yuji treatment

Yep she is useless like her momma . Inherited nothing from Sasuke. Atleast Sakura came from nothing ,worked hard to become what she is . And what does this bum do? Being overconfident and getting beat down . She's just like code .

Have a bloodline advantage ,still do nothing . Her character is just being obsessed with Boruto ,nothing else . I wonder if she will ever get a sussanoo at this point . She's definitely weaker than Shippuden Sasuke lol . And this is coming from her fan , I'm starting to hate her .

I wanna hear your thoughts on this. I wanna assume Naruto and Hinata haven't been effected by the mind control/perception alteration that effected everyone else.

So part of me wonders, is it possible that as soon as they're freed, they're gonna catatonic for a while but then after some recovery, find out what's happened, perhaps even being furious? Or do you think they as soon as they get freed, they're back to where they left off and they're gonna be shocked about how much time has changed and what happened to Boruto.

In fact, let's say the perception alteration is undone, everyone sees Boruto as an ally again, Kawakii is enemy number 1 or at some point, AT LEAST viewed as a suspecting ally, and he let's Naruto and Hinatta out of the dimension he kept them in, and they're tired but regain consciousness....how angry/forgiving do you think they will be?

Personally, I feel like in canon/in the story, Naruto will be furious at Kawakii and hell, even though it's not the village's fault really, might hold some annoyance and anger for the hidden leaf, but ultimately, Naruto is too grown and too forgiving of a person to hold a grudge. So much to everyone's begrudging, I can see 2 possibilities.

1. Naruto, despite his grievance with Kawakii lying, betraying Boruto and trying to kill him again, he'll probably still forgive him and try to welcome him back, but Kawakii with immeasurable guilt, can't go back and refuses.

2. Kawaki ends up dying near the end of the series, and he releases Naruto and Hinata, as a last act of kindness or an attempt to make up for what he did, and doesn't want Boruto making up any excuses for him.

What do you think will happen?

Simple question, is it by design that on Boruto, young Narutos hair is super short and way less spikey. Is this by design? Or just a silly design mistake

My favorite parts are visits to the shop keeper, I hope when they launch the anime we will get a slice of life from Jura just shopping and visiting cat cafe

I came across a post discussing how Boruto might live much longer than ordinary humans because he is now 100% Ōtsutsuki biologically, and it got me thinking about an interesting hypothetical possibility.

We know that Boruto has become a complete Ōtsutsuki in terms of his biology, following the events involving Karma and Momoshiki. Despite this, he still retains his human appearance, carrying the physical traits he inherited from Naruto and Hinata.

But what if this were precisely what made his future so interesting?

If Boruto really does have a much longer lifespan than ordinary humans, wouldn't it be interesting to imagine his future wife being an Ōtsutsuki as well?

Just think about it: hypothetically, what if Boruto's love interest were an Ōtsutsuki princess? A girl with a calm, gentle, kind, and understanding personality, someone who could see beyond his human appearance and truly understand his nature.

I'm not saying this needs to happen in canon, but I think it's an interesting possibility to explore.

After all, if Boruto ends up living for centuries or even longer, while his human partner has a very different life expectancy, that could create a complicated situation for them emotionally. It wouldn't necessarily make a relationship between them impossible, but the difference in their lifespans could have significant consequences for their future together.

That's why I find the idea of an Ōtsutsuki partner for Boruto so interesting. Someone who could share not only his biological nature but also a potentially much longer existence.

And this wouldn't mean Boruto would have to abandon his human roots or stop being Naruto's son. His appearance, values, memories, and personality would still be part of who he is.

In fact, it would be interesting to see a character who also has an extraordinary nature but is emotionally warm and understanding, someone who could help Boruto find his place in the world.

And what about Sarada in this hypothetical scenario?

I can also imagine a future where Sarada finds someone human with whom she can share her life and grow old. Someone who understands her ambitions, respects her dream of becoming Hokage, and walks alongside her as she builds the future she wants.

This doesn't mean Boruto and Sarada couldn't work out. It's simply a hypothetical reflection on how his potentially extended lifespan could influence his romantic choices.

Ultimately, I think it would be interesting to explore this possibility: Boruto ending up with an Ōtsutsuki woman who could accompany him throughout his long existence, while Sarada finds her own path and someone compatible with the life she wants to build.

What do you guys think? Would an Ōtsutsuki princess as Boruto's love interest be an interesting idea to explore?

How old are they and what is there role ?

Let’s say we are in an alternative reality where the story ended with Naruto and Sasuke vs. Juubi-Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki was never introduced.

After the final fight Hagoromo took back the Indra and Ashura chakras from Naruto and Sasuke. Leaving them respectively with KCM2 and EMS. The rest goes all the same.

Fast forward to Boruto’s times. Who would be the next villains? What threat would you create for Boruto’s world? You can invent anything you want as long as you think it would make a good story to be told in the Naruto universe.

Shonen protagonists are often viewed in a way that they always have a personal goal, have their happy ending and "yaaay".

Like Naruto becoming Hokage and having a family of his own.

Boruto used to have the goal to become a Shinobi like Sasuke and now,he is literally already living this goal,but I feel like the older he gets, the more I think he doesn't see a future for himself and that his life as a "Shinobi in the shadow" is gonna end pretty "quickly" for him.

His goal is to "restore the Uzumaki family."

However, does he include himself when he is just called Boruto Otsustuki now?

Do you also think that Boruto has become someone who absolutely doesn't care about himself anymore?

And if so, what do you think about this?

I know you thing you misread that, but I mean it.

I really wanna get into Boruto! but i dont wanna watch Naruto which is just filled with way too much chapters and bad pacing and is very bloated, also i heard the storytelling gets very weak later in the story.. I dont want any Part in that!

Im not saying that i beleive boruto is better than naruto by any means.. Im sure naruto is better,

ive been a one piece fan for like a long time, and my freind has been Consistently BEGGING me to read boruto.. Even he Says that i can read it without having any knowledge of what happens in naruto.

I know its Ironic... "you dont want to read all of naruto because its long, but you Read one piece!?" Yea i know its kind of dumb, but i read one piece back in Covid Quarantine in 2020, so i had a lot more time in my hands then, but not now.

Boruto seems like a really interesting story with a cool main character, ive been seeing the tiktok edits and it looks so damn cool.

i dont want to suffer and read like 700 chapters of naruto before i can get into boruto.

So i geuss my question is,

Can i Read Boruto Without Reading Naruto?

And if not, can i just watch a quick recap of naruto or do i have to actually suffer and put myself through 700 chapters?

Obviously, Chapter 700 puts Boruto and Sarada in the canon. They were introduced by Kishimoto himself in the final chapter of Naruto.

The current cope being spread around is that all the content produced thereafter (Boruto NNG + Two Blue Vortex) is not considered canon since "Kishimoto didn't write it/it's not his manga".

This is completely false.

Kishimoto has always been overseeing the series. To begin with, Kishimoto was the editorial supervisor of the series, while starting from Chapter 52, Kishimoto was officially credited for the story drafts. When Kishimoto says "this is Ikemoto's manga", he means the day-to-day routine – Ikemoto makes detailed scripts and draws it; however, Kishimoto has the last word, reviews every single chapter and used to provide the basic story outline for the series up until then.

Kishimoto literally stated:

• He goes through every single chapter because he's still a part of the team.
• He created the major points for the story draft as a template up to the end.
• He and Ikemoto discuss changes and proceed accordingly.
• Kishimoto would never have done Boruto if Ikemoto had not agreed to take it up.

It's not a pointless side project. It is the creator granting the permission and supervision for the official sequel. It IS canon. You can dislike it all you want but don't be pathetic about "it is non-canon."

In the flash forward we see Kawaki wearing a scarf to cover his neck. But I do feel like this clothing is taken and somehow similar to Codes clothes under garments.
