calibanite sword swinger How do you figure that? At what point did I bash the manga? Better yet when did I bash the other guy? I have not bashed anything or anyone.

Yet another emerges who is cherry picking from my comment...

But hey! You like the other guy apparently know what I am thinking better than I do.

I said "Saying that kind of stuff just short changes Boruto's journey, and the decisions he makes moving forward"

RocksDMadara Boruto is actually my favorite of the new generation, so rather than come up with lame ways to make yourself laugh read the whole comment rather than cherry pick from what I said, I can tell you what I do like about Boruto but why bother? Really? You seem to have made your mind up about me.

You say I have an agenda yes? Couldn't I say you do too? Can't i say you are a gatekeeper? And run with that? No... I'm not going to say so because I don't jump to half measured conclusions.

So I have to ask... What is my agenda? Because apparently you know what I am thinking more so than I do...

If you asked why I said what I did I would have had no reason to not answer. I wouldn't mind a conversation with a fellow fan.

Boruto is his own person carving his own path. Are there a few similarities to others? Sure. He is not the next this or successor to whoever. Saying that kind of stuff just short changes Boruto's journey and the decisions he makes moving forward for more than a few reasons.

I don't get how he is Minato's successor when his shnobi path is entirely different. So because he uses a space/time technique that is similar to that of his grandfather and has in his arsenal a variation of the Rasengan, that makes him the Minato successor?

Ability -wise having little in common in the form of 3 techniques makes him as you say? This article and the last Itachi article and those before show you guys just do not get the story on a strictly narrative perspective.

Boruto in the first manga showed he wanted to follow a different shinobi path and not of his father or grandfather, but go his own way. Now he is living it and the sacrifice that comes along with it too.

Minato was a golden child in every sense of the word, he was unrivaled in his era also. Which is precisely why he had to die when he did as he served a specific narrative function with the only character similar to this function being Itachi albeit with some differences.

Then we have Boruto who is a complete Otsutsuki with techniques from various potential futures of himself and being trained by one of the 2 most skilled and powerful shinobi of all time? And then go on to be given aid by someone who can see various futures.

Boruto had advantages working for him stacked on top of his genius however that does not mean he didn't work for them as in my opinion he is the only person who could do what he did in just 3 years, Naruto too was similar in that he was the only person that could train with his shadow clone technique the way he did.

Boruto is his own person. Are there similarities he has with others? Of course, but the thing is they are just that, similarities no more. His decisions, motivations and chosen path will lead him to very different places in accordance to his circumstances.

Boruto did not master 3 forms of chakra nature's, that information is clearly noted earlier in the manga. Also to say he "learned" the Uzuhiko is a stretch along with his "version" of the flying thunder god. The kid had a partner who could look into the future of his, all its variations unless of course Kashin hasn't told him everything who knows? With Kashin Koji granting him all the info he would need. Kashin himself pointed out it was not The Flying Thunder technique, though there are similarities. However if he does get his hands on whatever information or some scroll of how to actually perform the technique on top of his understanding of space/time function? Then the question becomes what will his version will look like 🤔

Itachi mastered everything he knew without ever reaching his prime, while Boruto may very well do so... Beyond that every character has their own way of learning. Aside from that Minato was the same way in that he too never reached his prime yet despite that these two were likely the most powerful shinobi of their respective timelines. Itachis greatest strength was his wisdom not his powers.

Also Sasuke served his time post war in this same way itachi had done, from the shadows. Itachii managed all what he did in his last years still alive while knocking on deaths door. And to top it off he didnt have the tremedous advantage of Kashin granting him knowledge of variuos roads his life could take with how he would develop.

Why not try comparing their growth instead? Then the answer will become apparent.

This doesn't make any sense Naruto is no longer just a warrior but a leader and has been that since he took the Hokage mantle upon his shoulders which is why he got so rusty in the first place.

Yes he could get greater strength after release from the Diakokuten but it would not matter as the threats have reached levels he would not be able to keep up with anyway. By the time he does get out possibly all the most important characters whose powers are spotlighted will quite likely have surpassed him.

At this point in his life he is a leader not just a warrior, more than anything though in Naruto's case in particular he is beyond that as well.

He is a symbol, the herald of this new era and all that comes with that position in the shinobi world.

His days of just being a warrior are long gone, and that chapter of his life isn't coming back.

What is the most important about him now? Is what he does with his status as a symbol, his ability to lead, to guide.

When he gets freed of course.
