I'll start through the episodes. Mind you that this is the next generation's first year at the academy:

Episode 2 starts off with which overall tests the classes strength and weaknesses[/URL] at the start of their Academy Years. Out of all the rookies, Boruto scored the highest. Iwabe the repeater, scored number one overall.

Later that day, Boruto actually manages to land a hit and win the Though clearly Iwabe with his staff is a force to reckon with, especially when he's at full strength. With that staff there's no doubt in my mind that Boruto would get wrecked in probably like five seconds lmao.

Ont-op of his other accomplishments, Boruto seems to already have a grasp of the before his classmates as well. He definitely has a better grasp of Ninjutsu better than his father did.


Next let's move onto Shikidai. In episode two, it was pretty clear that Shikadai eclipses most of his generation in pure strategy and intelligence. He came up with a battle plan which utilized Boruto's , and Inojin's , to capture Metal Lee.

I think his most impressive feat after that, is when he was up against the main girl team and captured them all in a single unsuspecting ambush.

He definitely has larger reserves than Shikamaru at his age.

Inojin. Although we haven't seen much of his performance yet, he does seem to have a good grasp of the beast imitation technique already. Despite the fact that he confirmed in Episode 3, that he hasn't quite mastered it like his father yet, he's still able to produce creations of this .

Metal Lee. Honestly I think Metal Lee has shown quite the performance these last two episodes. When Shikadai was dodging his attacks, he made a mental note that if he actually got hit with Metal Lee's kick, he would of been seriously injured (probably because his kick literally made concrete break). After Metal Lee got captured, the purple chakra that consumed him was forcing his true powers out: . It's unclear how many Gates he can open, or if he can actually utilize it yet, but it does prove that Lee has been teaching Metal Lee. He's a force to be reckon with, easily the strongest right now. I say this with certainty because later we see him stopping (she's the only one who was carrying shurikens -- You see this image after Metal Lee stops the attack) ambush .

I just think overall based on these episodes that the boys have shown a decent amount of skill, at least when compared to the girls.

Excluding: Denki aka Foddernki


Lastly on the boy's side we have to talk about Iwabe. Despite the fact that he repeated the academy for two years, because he disliked studying. I think so far he has the greatest potential in Ninjutsu for his age. We already know based on episode 2 that Iwabe had the best ninjutsu scores when he attended in his regular year, and he obviously has great physical assets too, gaining number one in the year. Although he's much older, you can't excuse his potential overall:

During the flag test, Iwabe managed to utilize the B-Rank Ninjutsu: If you are not familiar with this technique, it's the same one against Orochimaru and the Edo-Hokage.

This kid is going places, of course if he stays in the series. B-Rank before the Academy ... wow :lol

Alright enough testosterone.


Thus far without a doubt, Cho-Cho is definitely the strongest in her generation when it comes to just overall raw power and strength. She easily tore through Iwabe's Mud Wall with her , overall causing him to get knocked out when he stood there unexpectedly. Despite the fact that Cho-Cho isn't easily motivated, even Shino admitted that she has great ability for her age.

Lastly, we'll move onto Sarada Uchiha. Overall she ranked number two in her entire class during the physical assessment for the rookie year, and number number if we include Iwabe. She's clearly one of the most polished girls of the academy year, and most likely the most intelligent of the group, as seen when she was leading the team during the Flag Test. Her most impressive feat thus with Shuriken Jutsu, which she precisely aimed accordingly to not hit Lee, but to restrain him:

To make note for Metal Lee's potential, he got easily nervous around the girls which messed his performance. Although, we still have to give it to Sarada who immediately noticed that Metal was out of commission.


Anyway in conclusion ...

I think that for their first year at the academy, the next generation definitely have potential. Although they aren't perfect ninja yet, and probably won't be until many years to come (pointing at the obvious mistakes, and/or maturity they lack because they are children). They definitely have the potential to one day become great ninja. A year of prodigies.

S/O to Mitsuki -

> Despite the fact that we don't see him until next week, I'll go over his feats really quickly. In his first day of the academy, like Boruto, he defeats Iwabe in a sparring match. However, unlike Boruto, he most likely will defeat Iwabe rather quickly. Showing that Mitsuki is clearly the best in his class in close quarters combat (probably a tie between him and a serious Metal Lee?)

The episode summary goes into detail on how Mitsuki will show just how talented and intelligent he is. These next two episodes will probably show just how much of a gap there is between Mitsuki and the rest of the next generation already. This isn't even counting the fact that Mitsuki already thanks to Orochimaru's lab genius.





What do you think of next generation thus far? Who are you most interested in for the future? Do you think they are stronger than Naruto's generation at this point of time?

The potential is definitely there for them all.. The problem with ME is they're not following the movie's original content of these characters at all.. From the movie to manga to anime, it's all a cluster of different things going on with how they develop these characters are playin out..

It all seems "Filler" (if you will) because it's not following Boruto's movie script at all so that's why I'm up an down on this series.. BUT!, buuut I will enjoy the show even if it's all screwy at the moment with all the content being scattered in different directions.

Boruto movie was initially suppose to be the finale but since the fandom can't bring themselves to ask more with how popular it gotten to the point that Kishi is willing to pass on his torch to his close worker who assisted in the Naruto manga for 15 years then of course they had to reboot it.

Manga, Anime, Movie, and even Novel have their own original story-line, likewise with Dragon Ball Super, each one of them serve as its own continuity and all of them can be classified as canon.

Nice fanfic.

Generalizing what Toriyama has done, he was somewhat involved with the anime and manga so of course the whole notion of canon/fillers become a non-factor so given what I just said, Boruto is clearly taken the same route as DBS. Boruto anime can be completely different compare to the manga and make some tweak on the movie like say if Boruto never cheated or when the 3 ootsutski appear that supposed to show up in the movie, the anime would still follow their own guideline and meet the standard of Kishi approval who oversees the anime. Both Anime and Manga don't mix well, both have it's own interpretation to be canon.

The boruto anime or at least the current arc is supposed to be connected to the boruto manga. Nothing has been said officially that there's two or multiple continuities. Your argument has alot of assumptions.

Yet the current arc completely left out chapter 700 and went straight ahead to Mitsuki for next week episode. I have alot of "baseless" assumption because we don't know the direction the anime is taking...

I don't think that means it's been retconned or changed in the story. I do wonder why did they didn't animate it though or yet. Fine then, what would the manga be? The main canon?

Enough derailing the thread.
OT. Yeah, alot of them do have great potential. Tbh i'm looking forward the most to boruto, like you already pointed out in the OP, he won a match against an experienced opponent on his first damn day! Yeah, i have no doubt the next episodes will have mitsuki leaving everyone(or most) in the dust.

Well the manga manage to stick the root with the movie and hasn't made any major retcon except the ending so if you look at the bigger picture, perhaps the manga is more canon than the anime. However the Anime haven't gotten to gaiden or the movie yet so unless they don't make any contradiction to the original source then the anime would hold more weight as well. If they show ch700 ova or with flashback later down the road then I don't think its much of a big deal for ex Kakashi gaiden.

After the Academy arc things will become clear. They'll start animating the Gaiden's, and possibly move onto the Boruto Movie (sigh).

I agree they are very talented. I'm actually interested in and watching all of them rather than labeling them as side characters. Even Denki and his technology jutsu foreshadow. & I'm real anxious to see them against the other villages new generation & future villians
