Aside from TenTen will we get a ninja tool user in the future?

I know the Narutoverse is getting overshadowed by kkg's and clans but will ninja tools ever make a come back? Top tier shinobis used them so i dont see why not i just would love to see someone who can stay revelant and use them on a high level to compete with those same shinobi

No, because Naruto became all about big-ass explosions and new rasengan variants.

Tenten could've been so much better had Kishi paid attention to her. I hope Metal Lee or whatever his name is a weapons + taijutsu specialist.

Sarada is already a weapon specialist and she has the adequate amount of chakra so Sarada FTW!

Going by the Storm series I already picture Sarada as Kage ninja who uses ninja tools to bounce her lightning/fire styles off of.

Apart from that there's Ginkaku/Kinkaku and Tenten but the Base didn't give these characters a fair shot so why would they for new ones?

As cools as ninja tools were back in part 1, they pretty useless compared to shooting fireballs, controlling the very earth or using lightning to slice things.

Nah, if Sasuke can find a way to incorporate a sword into his jutsu-based fighting style then so should his daughter with her fuma shuriken. It's just a creative means of using chakra/jutsu.

The moment the moon got split in half though a lot of things in the NV became obsolete.

Oh, no doubt someone like sarada will use weapons enhanced by lightning or whatever. It's just that using only ninja tools like tenten seems kinda weak, don't you think?

Even before that, once energy balls were capable of destroying mountains, alot of things seemed fodder to it.

Using weapons doesn't make you a ninja tool user like Ten-Ten.

Doesn't that infer that the person only uses weapons, or their main skills are weapons? In the case of the arguments above, Sarada's core strength is her Chakra Enhanced Strength, that's her forte. Probably link it to Chakra Control, but it is a ninjutsu ability correct?

From what I can see, no one in this next generation specializes in just weapons. We have many ninjutsu users though.

sadly the only thing you'll probably see is swords being used by a few characters, hagoromo's tools are out of the story

I just think you could say the same about Samurai and their swords.

Samurai enhance their blades with chakra though.

But still on the same fodder level as most people rate Tenten.

(also this tenten hate this threads inciting suuuuucks, she's a great support ninja, saved them loads through the Sand chunnin exams and kept up with Team Guy.

That because people compared them to top tiers, ofc they'll seem fodder to them.

There was so much potential for ninja tools wasted, Uzumaki being natural sealing jutsu prodigies most likely had a ton of enchanted weapons like Minato's kunai or Hagoromo's fan.

Author should've made Boruto a fuin jutsu prodigy and have him make weapons as OP as kusanagi. Either that or have Sasuke make spirit weapons for Sarada or Naruto make a seal containing his power for future generations to use.
