Boruto never stood a chance against Shikadai without cheating.

[lndra]

I think it was 6 vs 5 in the novel, he got beaten and had no choice but to use the device
Was he alone in the movie? He didn't make kagebushin?

In the Movie Boruto sensed that someone surrounded him so he used kunai to throw in different directions, then they brothers came out of their hiding spots which he pinpointed by sense alone (Idk what it is called, ninja sense or some shit?).

The brothers came out (3 of them) and Boruto created 3 or 4 clones. It was either 3 vs 3, or 3 vs 4 (four being Boruto).

Then the brothers each used the shadow clone jutsu making 3 each resulting in 9. So it was basically 2 vs 1 for each clone adding a few that ganged around.

In the novel it was 6 vs 5, that's even worse than the movie

In the movie 9 vs 4 or 9 vs 5, basiclly a 2 vs 1 or 3 vs 1,
even so he didn't beat 1 clone, then his CQC is lacking

Gonna PM you, moving laptops to phone so it's better for me this way.

Compared to all the wanking you fanboys did prior to the movie's release? :lol He's looking pretty ordinary right now.

I will admit that I was dubious regarding Boruto's status as a prodigy upon viewing the film's synopsis. But, he is truly a prodigy as he learned to utilize Lightning Release, Water Release, and Wind Release sans training. Furthermore, he is intelligent, unlike Naruto in his youth. Boruto was merely not confident in his abilities. For example, Sasuke and Neji were hailed as brilliant prodigies but they had their errors as well.

Shikadai is the shit. Best looking of the new gen. Eyebrows on fleek.

Actually Boruto's Data Book page for the movie listed him as smart and intelligent.

So it's actually true.

Uzumaki Boruto - [Genin]

“I’m different from my dad! Our abilities are different!”

He aims to surpass his father! The smart, mischievous running youngster!!

With an outstanding talent in ninjutsu, Boruto has quickly acquired the Jounin class technique ‘Kage Bunshin no Jutsu’ since his days in the Ninja Academy. Both his father and grandfather were Hokage, and his surroundings are filled with expectations for him. However, Boruto himself is sceptical of the Hokage position, and frequently quarrels with his father, Naruto…!


I'll go look for the other post now

Let's not misconstrue my statement. I said this:

Is he a prodigy? That much is obvious, hell it was even stated in writing. It has jack shit to do with my point. An exceptional shinobi like Itachi can be still be overhyped/overwanked, right? :lol

Already explained my reasoning to Indra.

Boruto solos Shikadia

All hate no love.

Congratulations. :T

Sorry, but i cant accept databook words if they doesnt have canon proof. From all what ive read about movie. Bolt is nowhere close to kid Naruto in terms of battlesmart.

That's strange considering that is canon proof.

Anyway when you say that, it sort of holds stability and then it doesn't. Because most of the next generation have limited feats. From what Boruto has shown in battle, he certainly does.

He uses shadow clones in battle different form his father, for instance he would lure Shikidai into a trap with his shadow clone by creating it before the shadow would come and he would hop off from the clone while the clone ran into the shadow and trapped himself in it so he could move closer.

Then you have instances where Boruto just seemed more highly intelligent when it came to understanding things, and he did replicate Naruto's ability against Zabuza where he created a transformation of himself with Sasuke which happened at the same rate.

But if you want to compare Part 1 Naruto's feats to someone with half the screen time than that isn't fair, but overall Boruto isn't stupid like Naruto was. He was just dumb in his early years, Boruto isn't like that.

I suppose so, the majority of databook statistics are quite erroneous. Naruto was attributed a 1/5 for intelligence in the first databook but he was creative in his strategies. Furthermore, Shino and Sakura recieved 3/5 and 3.5/5, respectively, for intelligence in the first databook but they were not recognized as geniuses. Unlike Sasuke and Neji who received 2/5 and 2.5/5, respectively.

I'm not really sure about DB stats, though his DB Movie page did say he was smart. If you wanted to use that as a source. I linked it above.

I think the worst thing about the comments is a large part of the downplay in the mindset of those who posted.

I guess either they are ignorant or don't have enough information but both Boruto and Shikidai fought each other with enough intel, as they are friends. I'm sure Boruto knows of the Shadow Possession Jutsu (as Shikamaru used it on him in Chapter 1 of the Gaiden), and obviously Shikidai would know of his shadow clone jutsu.

So they both fought each other with this in mind, but the biggest contributing factor to the win of this fight was that Shikidai used something that Boruto didn't know he possessed (the expanding shadow technique). He had an ace-in-the-hole when Boruto turned the tides of the fight, and flipped it against him.

So I'm kind of confused on how everyone can downplay his battle when Boruto didn't use anything but the technique Shikidai knew he had in his possession; Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Furthermore, Boruto is still intelligent. He utilized his Kote to perform a Water Release technique and subsequently utilized Chidori via the Kote to electrocute defeat his opponent from the Water Village.

You'll also see in the movie that Boruto utilizes the shadow clones differently than his father. He doesn't quite spam the target, in fact each clone that he creates has an exact purpose.

For instance he created three clones in the beginning of the movie, one to restrict Sarada so she wouldn't hurt the Panda Bear out of the 'norm' (with her CES), and the other two striked different vitals of the bear so that they could bring it down easily without damage.

In the exams he would create clones when the opponent out numbered him, and in regular fights he would fight with himself rather than relying on the technique. The only time where I saw him attack someone with a barrage (3-5) clones was Shikidai, it was only because Boruto had the match in his favor and he decided to end it there.

He obviously see's the strategic use for these clones, at least from my viewpoint he is very talented with them.

Limited feats doesnt matter because in more or less similar scenario/battle Naruto showed more tactic than Bolt. Where was his smart on second stage chuunin exam ? In similar situation Naruto was able to create plan how to save his teammates without cheating.

From what Boruto has shown in battle, he certainly does.

He uses shadow clones in battle different form his father, for instance he would lure Shikidai into a trap with his shadow clone by creating it before the shadow would come and he would hop off from the clone while the clone ran into the shadow and trapped himself in it so he could move closer.

All what i can say on that is that different opponents requires different tactic.

Then you have instances where Boruto just seemed more highly intelligent when it came to understanding things, and he did replicate Naruto's ability against Zabuza where he created a transformation of himself with Sasuke which happened at the same rate.

Thats was real feat cant say anything against.

I dont compare all Narutos feats, just some of them. While Bolt can be smarter than part 1 Naruto overall, Naruto is smarter than him in terms of battlesmart.
