Here is a summary I have found of the latest Boruto novel. It seems it has a lot of content from the latest Mist arc that was kept out of the anime. It seems crazy to think Sarada and Buntan know about Obito.
If anything knowing this should have allowed Sarada to call Kagura the heck out. I mean she could say, "why are you so buthurt about the bad past of your grandfather when it was literally an Uchiha that made him act that way and screwed up the whole mist village. She should be like the Uchiha almost destroyed the whole world and my dad was a criminal against all the great nations at one time. If anyone has a bad legacy to live up to it is me and you don't see me being whiney little baby about it like you are so man the heck up".
Kiri Boruto Arc Novelisation
The novelisation of the Kiri Field Trip arc just arrived, so did a quick skim to try and find out which extra bits that aren’t in the anime I should translate first!
So far, it looks like
- There’s a coloured anime concept art poster for the New Swordsmen, and a couple of illustrations throughout the book
- Sarada and Buntan meet earlier on the field trip near the end of chapter 2 as she’s leaving Kirigakure tower, taking place the day before the fight. Buntan seems to grab a handkerchief Sarada is buying, and then Buntan is curious about her being an Uchiha
- Sumire seems to appear much more in the early chapters
- I swear someone grins or laughs on every page the Kiri nin appear on
- Shizuma and Buntan love their double exclamation marks and I am not surprised
- Kagura and Yagura’s names are written in phonetically in hiragana instead of phonetic katakana as per Naruto norm or kanji as per Kirigakure norm. The only other clan to do this is the Yamanaka who they look a bit like
- Characters change pronouns a bit, possibly putting on an act. Kagura starts off using the formal watashi, making him one of very few male Naruto characters to do so (also includes Iruka, Ebisu, Orochimaru and Kisame), before switching to the rough, macho ore that is the standard Naruto guy pronoun when he joins Shizuma’s gang, but still otherwise speaks very formally. Buntan also starts with watashi when she meets Sarada, before switching to the more tomboyish/casual/confident atashi for the rest of the novel (also used by Ino, Tenten, Tsunade and Guren). She also uses omae for you (instead of the usual anata) which is normally used by men who use ore - as far as I can remember she is the only female character in the series to do so - more assertive, and in the context of using it on an opponent, insulting.
- Kisame is mentioned in regards to Shizuma twice, once over about a page. The Akatsuki are also mentioned a lot
-Early in their fight, Sarada and Buntan have a long conversation about Obito Uchiha, both in relation to Yagura and Madara
- Sarada repeats Itachi’s catchphrase (‘iya, chigau’ - 'no, incorrect/it’s different’) during this discussion
- It seems like Buntan’s mother has also died by the time of the arc
- Sasuke’s jutsu, Kirin, is mentioned at the end of Sarada’s fight with Buntan ('In other words, Kirin’)
- The kanji 敵, 'opponent/rival/enemy’ appears a lot as a concept in Sarada’s thoughts in the last couple of chapters (eg 'She’d been her enemy…..Kurosuki Buntan?’ as she’s traveling home)
