Naruto manga made alot of contradictions but the contradictions all happen within manga. But if Manga move this way while anime move that way or manga never show/have this character but anime made this character happen while he/she is absent in entirety of manga, this what I meant by contradiction. The anime story line contradict Manga story line. We only can see that when Anime catch up to manga story.Naruto manga made alot of contradiction before so it doesn't hold much merit to what you are saying regarding the status of the anime. In fact the anime so far have atleast been consistently in the writing than most og-shippuden fillers episode.
I'm not arguein whether that its likely to be canon but we do know both Kodachi and kishimoto are contributing to both the anime and manga as well as the novel.
Kishimoto was also noted by the director that he regularly check up in the anime and worked behind the scene but we cannot be certain which ep or how much he was involved in.
Therefore there is no telling what is canon or what is filler. Frankly speaking I don't think it matters anymore as much as it used to because unlike naruto, boruto has many sources outlet to go through.
So next time before countering my post think first the objective of my post or what my post meant to say.
You said by yurself that Anime from SP made the story less contradicting as possible by changing or adding their own ideas to the story when Manga stays with the contradictions and telling different story going forward. Therefore it creates contradiction of story telling. Manga tells like this but anime tells like this.
Its not about which story is better but if one story flow differently to the canon story thats manga.
We read a Shonen story. Shonen is a genre of manga from Japan like Comic in USA. Its not a work of creating anime but a work of writing a story book.
One example: Digimon is a loose case, it can go both way be it manga or anime and its a Shonen type. But the story in anime happen in its own verse with its own story. There is no manga adaptation of Digimon advantures. It stayed as anime story. Digimon story also came in manga form but it not related to Digimon adventures or Frontier but it stands inside its own universe like Digimon Universe: Appli Monstar etc as Digimon verse contain multiverse, many universes.
So here manga never met with anime story vice versa or in other word 'adaptation'. If one Digimon series told this story it will not contradict any other Digimon story bcus each of it standing alone. Thus everything is canon or true story.
Cant say the same about Naruto/Boruto. Its a clutter. Its like Rosario Vampire but RV is not a clutter fuk. Manga told different story while anime told different story but with same characters, just different story flow. In Manga they fought with Alucard before the end of the story while in Anime Tsukune fought with Moka's father.
Boruto is a clutter fuk bcus writer needs different kind of materials just to tell a single story(Novel, Manga, Anime). Its not better either.
So for a story that originated in the same universe both Manga and Anime contradiction will happen. One cant be its own story above the other one as they never established any multi-universe/parallel Universe story. So which is Canon story determines by which one started first, manga or anime. In Naruto case its manga first published in 1997. In Boruto it just a continuity of Naruto manga. It begin from Gaiden manga so Manga takes precedent. Happen in one universe thus if anime takes different route manga will always be a conan story no matter how involve is Kishi, Kodachi and Ikimoto in all story tellings(Manga, anime and novel).
And if people justify all the works that happen for Boruto story thus it justify this story as a shit story.
OP, Bleach, DB, Toriko, FT never suffer this Clutter Fuk.
OP stays strong with Manga verse, it fart on Naruto story. Bleach is the same. HxH stop and continue and stop again bcus Togashi had a life problem and not bcus he took time off to focus on writing a novel or directing the anime.
