Can we talk about Boruto's skill set alone by TRAILER facts?

All I need to see now is that Kishimoto actually made him a strategic thinker and he hit all the good points for this character by leaps and bounds.

Think about his current skill set from the trailers alone.

>Shadow Clone jutsu with the limit being 2. Meaning he won't be able to spam the technique, nor have we seen him spamming this technique at all.

>Rasengan. Not at the same size as Naruto's, he is at least able to make it without the clones at his age, which is seemingly impressive. This is my take on actually:

We don't know what he does with it in the trailer. He is in Sasuke's Susano'o, and I'm pretty sure he isn't hitting Sasuke. So that leaves:

I. Does he throw it?
II. If so who can't dodge a mini rasengan coming at you? Does that mean it moves incredibly fast? <--- Maybe something Hyuuga related which is why he is able to throw it efficiently?

>Lightning Release (not even the technique itself). He has been confirmed to be a lightning release user, meaning his door is open to many, many, many techniques. Even if he can't use Chidori without the Sharingan that doesn't stop him from creating variants. It could be a Rasegan with Lightning Affinity but that just proves the point that his kid pulled something off that Naruto needed a horde of clones to do, and that Minato//Kakashi couldn't do/failed as Adults.

>Hyuuga Taijutsu. You can see from the trailers that this boy isn't like Naruto in the sense of just throwing moderate punches and kicks at people, he actually as a defined style of martial arts that he uses.

>Proficient in Shuriken usage. The trailer peaked this in the first teaser, and in the 3rd trailer we see him throwing Shuriken around in a pose. This proves that he at least has an understanding of the weapon itself and must be moderate it the art. Considering that the boy is hailed as Prodigy, it might even be more than "moderate"

(For those who don't know what I'm referring to I put the gif in a spoiler^)

Let's put power levels aside for a moment. The kid's fighting style is so entertaining to watch. He is not a spammer and loves learning new stuff. With every new trailer, he pulled something new.

That's so refreshing honestly.

I've been guessing that if he can throw it it may be him using gentle fist behind it

His limited skill set we've seen so far already overwhelms the other kids in his generation

Wait. He has a limit to how many Shadow Clones he can use, wow that is a new innovative idea from Kishi. If he is proficient in Shuriken Ninjutsu will we get to see Bolt using Itachi's signature technique with the Kunai's. I think the smaller the Rasengan the harder it is to see so maybe it comes at the speed of light, so no escaping it.

Can't wait to see him in action or use him in the upcoming storm game.
He has the best fighting style I can imagine. Gentle fist, rasengan, Chidori. Come on Kishi
:sweat:

In the Chunin Exams? Shikidai

So far. I'm not confirming it but he has only made two clones (manga and the movie trailer).

Funny enough Boruto's spin in first teaser trailer is the same as Itachi's in the flash back :lol

We haven't seen anyone from his generation who is so versatile. Funny thing is we haven't seen anything yet I bet!

I think Boruto right now is starting to become my #1 favorite for this new generation. Bolt getting Hyuga gentle fist was totally surprising considering in the past track record, the Hyuga have always been treated like shit knowing how much Kishi didn't care, I thought Boruto would instead have Naruto regular taijutsu in the promo His gentlefist feels new and refreshing because that makes bolt a unique character and his genius feels alot of hype right now.

Bolt solos. He is more exciting than a cotton candy haired fodder.

I don't know if anyone noticed but Bolt has lavender eyes when fighting Shikadai. I think he has a partial Byakugan which can be activated and deactivated represented by shifting eyes from blue to white and white to blue respectively. White eyes means partial Byakugan is activated.

I'm just glad that he won't be spamming the same techniques like his father. It's great that Boruto has a diverse arsenal.

Bruh....If Boruto really did combine Lighting with Rasengan....then the true extent of his prodigy status would instantly be confirmed. Something Kakashi and Minato failed to do...man.

Dat Boruto.

Of course he will , his father is no joke. If Naruto can do it so can Boruto.

Judging from the sound, it sounds a lot like Chidori. What if he combined both the Rasengan and the Chidori?

All that truly matters is that Mitsuki has been ruined :'(
What do you mean?

Agreed. He is the shit.

I think Boruto right now is starting to become my #1 favorite for this new generation.

I'm glad that the Hyuuga fan's are getting what they deserve. You guys were left in the cold for a long time. I guess all that ranting hit Kishimoto when everyone made threads about how lame Boruto/Himawari were for not having the Hyuuga clan Dojutsu XD

Can't wait to see him in action or use him in the upcoming storm game.
He has the best fighting style I can imagine. Gentle fist, rasengan, Chidori. Come on Kishi
:sweat:
Bro imagine if he gets a Hyuuga clan combo :c

He will be one of the best players in that game because he is too freaking diverse! Unless they mess up his skill set.

I don't know if anyone noticed but Bolt has lavender eyes when fighting Shikadai. I think he has a partial Byakugan which can be activated and deactivated represented by shifting eyes from blue to white and white to blue respectively. White eyes means partial Byakugan is activated.
