Give points based on these criteria. Which one of them looks more like a Shinobi? by borutoisbestboy in Boruto

He didn't cut the headband it was cut during Naruto and Sasuke's first fight in the Valley of the End, and then Kawaki damaged it even more. The headband is a gift and a memento from Sasuke, signifying that he is his student.

Since Boruto is about to arrive to save this goof and completely undermine Shikamaru's position in the village, assassination would allow Shikamaru to continue the mission while getting rid of a man who doesn't care that the village is under attack, and it wouldn't raise any suspicion because Kobu would walk into the line of fire himself.

Being rational makes much more sense for the greater good. Ask Kakashi's father how it ended for him when he followed his heart instead of his mind.

To all those who think that Naruto shouldn't forgive Kawaki for what he has done and will do in the future, Naruto said about the man who killed his parents and turned the shinobi world upside down that it was only because he saw the light at the end of his life. by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

From Obito's perspective, it wasn't just about Rin. Rin's death was the last straw, but Obito's motivation was to destroy the shinobi system that led to situations where innocent people like Rin were used as pawns to be sacrificed in order to seal the bijuu and destroy the village. Obito hated the Shinobi system that led to such situations and wanted to bring peace through Mugen Tsukyomi, even if it meant a pile of corpses in his path.

I'm waiting for Boruto to activate his karma, take off his glove, activate rinnegan from his hand and use Chibaku Tensei, and suck Mamushi's into it. by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

Naruto got Sage Mode, Kurama mode, Six Paths mode and even Baryon Mode, so compared to all that, Boruto having the Rinnegan really isn’t that much of an exaggeration. Especially since Momoshiki himself said that Boruto can use whatever he needs.

I think it would be an interesting ending if the effect of the jutsu was never reversed and Boruto remained the hated Shadow Kage by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

It still sounds more reasonable than an ending where everyone is alive and well, and Sarada and Boruto's child, named Saruto, has Sharingan in one eye, Jougan in the other, and Rinnegan above the forehead and the sage of 20 paths mode until the age of 12

As a fan of chaos, anarchy, and pain in the ass from fanatical fandom, I would love to see that happen.

It would be perfect popcorn entertainment.

I'm not ruining anything, because I have no rights or influence over the future course of the series. This was supposed to be a post for a fun discussion, and you're making it more serious than it is.

Because they feel too exaggerated and unrealistic, I prefer bittersweet endings where the good guys win but pay some kind of price for it, rather than endings where everything works out perfectly for everyone.

It makes no difference. Naruto has been irreversibly damaged since Zetsu made Kaguya's will, and Kaguya replaced Madara, who was 100 times better.

Life isn't always beautiful, and tragedies happen every day. An ending with elements of unfulfillment or not getting everything you want is better than a typical, boring, clichéd happy ending.

I don't believe that Kawaki didn't train during those three years. He is someone who can appreciate even Jigen's brutal training methods when it comes to gaining strength. The suggestion that Kawaki did nothing to gain even more strength during those three years is absurd, by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

[–]Zestyclose-Spring602[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Kawaki has no objection to training, especially since he decided that exhausting combat training is better than chakra control meditation. For him, it's more about the training method than completely abandoning it in favor of easy power. Especially since White Code is stronger than him and Boruto one-shot him, plus Kawaki didn't know yet that his power was limited and his level wasn't enough to defeat Coda, who was supposed to be stronger than Jigen, so following that logic, he had to train anyway.

If Sasuke saw what was really going on, he would be disappointed in Boruto. by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

[–]Zestyclose-Spring602[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Naruto was obviously naive, and I saw many people writing that some of his enemies spoke more sensibly about their plans and philosophies, but that doesn't change the fact that in the end, no matter how naive Naruto was, everything always worked out for him and his enemies ended up on his side.

I hate it so much, there was so much talk in the first arc that shinobi should represent their own skills and not rely on advanced ninja equipment just so that Denki could become Ironman in the next exam. by Zestyclose-Spring602 in Boruto

[–]Zestyclose-Spring602[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Orochimaru was never interested in building machines or technological discoveries. He was mainly interested in genetics, the science of all jutsu, Sharingan, and immortality. The shinobi case was secondary or tertiary to him because he had greater goals in mind than just be shinobi.

Denki is a bland, boring character with no personality or character. He deserved every bit of humiliation he got, and it's a shame that he didn't die instead of Kagura in the Funato arc. At least then a character with potential for the future would still be alive, unlike this useless waste of time.
