Ryu catches Code off guard so Ryu > Code. Now Code is able to beat Hidari off guard, so is he stronger than Hidari ?

Sarada is stronger than Code because she beat Ryu 😂😂. Ohirume merchant gets humbled twice.

So what is it ? Hidari > Sarada > Ryu > Code ? Or is it Code > Hidari > Sarada > Ryu ? Or is something else. Where are the chain scalers now ?

Code himself says he only needs ONE HIT for Hidari. That is a statement. So where are the statement merchants now ? Who disregard feats because of some statements ?

I want to know what this community's minor pet peeves are for this series. I'm talking petty, small, and not even worth a second thought, but it still eats away at you. I want some real pet peeves, not some major, overly done complaints like how Kakashi got DMS or Sarada's MS. Give me some actual pet peeves

For me, I'd have to say that my main pet peeve is the fact that Mei's main style is water rather than fire. I get that affinities aren't a point system but instead your natural preference, but with two whole Kekkei Genkai revolving around fire, you'd think that her go to style would be fire, right? I get that culturally speaking, it would make sense for Mei to use water style since she was raised in the Hidden Mist, but like, realistically speaking, she should be the most comfortable with fire style. You literally need to make fire style chakra to use your damn Kekkei Genkai! If she actually trained to use fire style specifically on top of training her Kekkei Genkai, then she would be getting like 3 times the amount of training in fire style when compared to the other two base types! Dare I say, she'd be high tier Uchiha level in terms of fire usage!

So this is something that can easily be lost in translation, but in the latest chapter in Japanese, Kawaki has started speaking using the kanji for Otsutsuki but with two different furigana pronunciations.

Sometimes he uses 大筒木 (おおつつき, Otsutsuki) and sometimes he uses 大筒木 (ヤツら, yatsura). Yatsura means, roughly, "those lowlifes," though it's often translated as "bastards" just like every other vulgar version of "those guys" in Japanese, and he's now grouping in not just the Otsutsuki, but every threat associated with them.

In other words, "Ohtsutsuki" is becoming the word he thinks of in his mind when referring to any of those whose existence threaten the peace Naruto built, include Code, the Divine Tree Beings, and both Boruto and himself.

My translation for his monologue, trying to keep to official Viz style, would be something like:

Kawaki: "There are still so many jerks I need to kill."

Kawaki: "The Ohtsutsuki, and..."

Kawaki: "...that whole pack of animals tied to 'em..."

Kawaki: "The peace you tried to build from the ground up..."

Kawaki: "...and the ruin that could tear it down..."

Kawaki: "Momoshiki, Code."

Kawaki: "The Divine Tree Beings..."

Kawaki: "Those [Ohtsutsuki] lowlifes keep bringing ruin to our doorstep."

Kawaki: "That's just what the Ohtsutsuki are."

Kawaki: "Until we wipe out every last one of those [Ohtsutsuki] lowlifes..."

Kawaki: "...this world will never know true peace."

Kawaki: "That's why I'll kill 'em."

Kawaki: "They all need to be wiped out."

Kawaki: "Anyone who's already turned into an Ohtsutsuki..."

Kawaki: "...including Boruto and me."

I've managed crews for years and the guys who never take lunch, who skip sleep to finish a job, who treat rest like weakness, they burn out hard. Sometimes they collapse on site. Sometimes they just slow down until someone notices they're not pulling weight anymore.

It is common knowledge that if you write something on a block of papers, you will leave marks on the page immediately under it.

One would think that a ninja is automatically aware of that and have a more discreet way of writing down a secret message.

Not this ninja though. This ninja asked a notebook, wrote the message on in, ripped the piece of paper, then returned the notebook to its owner.

This ninja left a huge incriminating evidence around and forgot about it FOR DAYS.

Even if this ninja has the advantage of the all-seeing Kashin Koji warning him in advance that the higher-ups want to interrogate him and fire his ass, this ninja still did NOTHING to help his case.

And now this "little" mistake is going to cost him, the village and the whole nation a lot.

I see readers everywhere pointing out Code taking Ls all the time, or Sarada being a damsel in distress, but the real failure of a ninja is this ninja. And it's about time you all open your eyes and admit it.

In response to recent announcement of Kishimoto-san's new Naruto Manga, there were recent discussions about how Boruto would become a non-canon. I hope it won't be true. I believe they won't just threw out years of story building for few inconsistencies and disappointments.

There was an old post here few months ago asking how would we write if we're writing Boruto and this was my Outline of the entire project and beyond. I had this idea immediately when Kaguya was introduced.

Given the timing of all this, I thought I would share my expectations and my fan-fic outline of the entire Naruto/Rasengan project.

Personally, I want Naruto to be just the First Act of a much larger saga. Then Boruto and finally Saruto.

How would you do it?

Ever since late Next Generations, the idea of budget cuts has been mentioned a couple of times, and in Two Blue Vortex, we get to see a lot more of the internal political forces that seem to be pushing for the end of the Ninja village system.

Kawaki himself doesn't understand what it means to be a shinobi, takes shortcuts, and relies on scientific ninja tools openly tells Naruto that a Shinobi is just someone who dies needlessly, which is part of the reason he seals him away.

In the post-war society that Naruto helped bring about, the lords of these nations don't have any use for keeping around ninja, which is obviously foolish, but since they can't wage war against each other for greedy reasons, they can't just be funding them that much either. Naruto, as the world's hero, probably kept their ambitions in check, and the balance of power between the Daimyo lord and him was pretty balanced.

Now that Naruto is gone, they see an opportunity to replace the villages with Scientific Ninja tools, and since Shikamaru understands that there is still a very real threat from the Shinju and Otsutsuki, they want to replace him with Konohamaru too, leaving the village unstable. Part of the blame also lies with Shikamaru for not taking the 9th Hokage title officially.

What if what Koji said about Momo coming out happens during or maybe after the fact that Boruto has to choose between saving Sarada or Sasuke?

I doubt saving Sarada (again) will be a piece of cake this time. I feel like after Hidaris thorn bulb is up for grabs, Jura takes it and on the other hand, Code kidnaps Sarada. Which leads Boruto to decide who to save, Sarada or Sasuke..

At this point, he’s The Immortal (Invincible) of the Boruto series

I made it in flipaclip and chose to keep it messy.

Obviously a joke. Disclaimer: Nishio is a very elite artist, animator, and character designer. His current designs just are bad for Boruto.

he looks so happy that he gets a chance to take over LOl

Being Hyuuga & Uzumaki, what abilities should we hope to see either posses/unlock?

What would Himawari pull from Minato?

How these modes work:

Naruto converts that chakra into his own:

Why Minato has the same thing because they are father and son:

Naruto chakra has been described as Yellow from the beginning:

Same thing with KCM 2 it still Naruto's chakra just more of it this weird avatar has nothing to do with Yin or Yang Kurama:

Same thing with Minato, people miscontrue this moment as representative of Yin and Yang Kurama:

When here is Naruto recieving chakra from Yin Kurama to form the Avatar shouldn't his Avatar be dark if it had anything to do Yin or Yang Kurama???

Final nail is after extraction and he has Yin Kurama this is how his Avatar still looks like:

For any copers that "Kishi forgo he had Yin Kurama" No he didn't forget anything. The Kurama after extraction being depicted in a darker shade check:

He said he felt bad for Sarada . It's actually interesting that he's having character development, I hope he delivers a good fight also .

All he does is appear on screen to take an L, goes back in hiding to scheme some more then comes back to take another

He does it in like every arc of NNG that he's in, and he's not even speaking to anyone most of the time, just rambling to himself. Code's honestly one of the few villains that would do stuff like this in Boruto, that's why I love him.

I’ve been thinking recently about the defining moments in OG Naruto and Shippuden. I’m talking Garra vs. Lee, final Naruto vs. Sasuke or Hidan vs. Shikamaru, Sasuke vs. Itachi. Scenes that carry a lot of narrative weight as well as being absolute bangers to watch.

For you what’s your equivalent in Boruto? Which scenes are you replaying over and over? For me it’s Kawaki vs. Garo.

Which Boruto manga do you prefer and why? I know there's a bit of bias comparing a completed series to an ongoing one, so feel free to judge NNG off of its first half or so. I personally prefer NNG but I think TBV will come out on top when everything Ikemoto is building up pays off

We all know that momoshiki has some form of future sight, and that Boruto is now 100% otsutsuki. I feel like there’s a chance that Boruto himself has some kind of future sight he’s hiding and he’s playing 4d chess along with Amado and kashin koji, an example being he somehow knew that Kawaki had limiters on and that he could get Kawaki to help him even when kashin koji himself had no idea Even with his 10 paths. I think this would be a crazy plot twist, and fits very well in the current story, and if he makes mistakes we can attribute it to the fact that momoshiki himself could accurately see the future only glimpses, and boruto therfor could only see glimpses but use that to piece together a plan that lets him win everything.

what do you guys think? Just popped randomly into my mind

I just gotta know, there’s no way the rest of the clan doesn’t show up and slide back on the people on Earth. Kaguya, Isshiki, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Toneri, Urashiki (anime), all got cooked. (Don’t mind the bad wording on the title lol)

In my personal opinion, I just don’t see the clan letting any of that slide, and then you’ve just got abominations like Boruto running around as a full Otsutsuki that doesn’t even resemble the rest of the clan, utilizing Momoshiki’s full power, and Amado tampering with the powers of their clan on Kawaki and various other cyborgs like Eida, Daemon, and Kashin Koji having high powered Shinjutsu. Divine Tree creatures running around, Code with a white Karma, they probably would want to shut that all down.

Then the fact that there’s still the mysterious statues, the lore about Shibai, the depiction of the Otsutsuki God, I genuinely think there could be an all out Otsutsuki war between this clan and the people on Earth. Magically everyone that gets sent out to that planet just goes missing? If I was a member of that clan I’m not letting that slide at all. Though, I don’t believe every Otsutsuki would be evil.

There probably would be some members that would aid our characters because they don’t completely agree with the clan, just wanna know what y’all think. I don’t think it’s an if, I really think it’s a when.”
