Differences between Naruto - Boruto: "Prodigy"

[lndra]

Just going to run through a small comparison of Boruto and Naruto at the exact same age. Nothing major. Also before someone says "Naruto wasn't trying" - Of course he wasn't, much like how Kakashi wasn't trying against Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke in the bell test. Yet, Naruto barely landed a hit on Kakashi anyway.

It should be obvious by now that the only reason Boruto got to spend time with his father is because he painted the stone

. It seems that Boruto genuinely enjoys spending time with his father, despite the actions that he has to do to grab his attention.

At this point it is clearly evident that both Naruto and Boruto are different in terms of ability/skill. When Naruto

who even though Naruto is not taking seriously, mind you that Kakashi did not take Team 7 seriously either, but he still had time to read his book until Sasuke came into the picture.

Not only did Boruto outsmart his father, he was only joking. He even gives away his location because both him and father are "playing"

Conclusion:

Boruto has displayed a minimal amount of feats, some of these are not even feats, and should not be taken that seriously. Though it should be clear that these two people are different - Naruto who would use the multiple shadow clone jutsu to trick the opponent, while Boruto only used one.

My theory is that Boruto is pushing himself back by wanting to play around with his father, instead of focusing on training, because he has the susceptible skills for being a shinobi. Which also causes a conflict between Naruto, Boruto, and the village itself.

Now we know that Sasuke is going to be his "Master" in the same sense Tsunade/Jiraiya were to Sakura/Naruto, which means this: Naruto is going to ask Sasuke to take Boruto under his wing to improve his capabilities, and unleash the potential he wastes on playing pranks and bothering him.

Future Threads:
Next one - Sarada Uchiha - I'm going to wait for the next chapter, I'm sure we'll see Sarada v. Sasuke

Note though that some of this was just for fun, we barely have information but I wanted to make a theory so bad ... We literally have nothing still.;

 

[Alt of the wraith]

Naruto was a prodigy as a child only difference it took a long time before anyone taught him how to use his power correctly

 

[Ken Kaneki]

He is obviously a prodigy, but he requires to be so since his chakra < Naruto's. Son he won't be able to spam :naruto:

 

[BenjerminGaye]

It's sad that the only way he gets time of day from his dad is through pranks. And even then his dad sends a clone.

Ppl called him a brat because of it but all he really wants is attention.

If Naruto did not have the Kyuubi boosting his power, he would not have been considered a shinobi. Most of his abilities relied on the shadow clone early in the manga.

 

[UzumakiWade]

New generation always surpass the old one. Bolt might not completely surpass Naruto, but if he is able to give a holding back Naruto a run for his money now, imagine how fast he would actually be able to fight on par with a serious Naruto.

 

[Sentinel of Light Style]

Bolt had no idea Naruto was going to use Shunshin in chapter 700, that's why he said it "wasn't fair" when he did. Also, Naruto barely landing a hit on Kakashi: there is a difference between the bell test and a trainig session. To avoid them taking the bells, it was in Kakashi's best interest to dodge everything, whereas in training, the teacher letting himself get hit is a good way to show the student the impact of his punches.

 

[Retsu]

He definitely seems like he's smarter than Naruto was around that age. I can't wait to see what signature moves will be. And I wonder who's gonna be with him and sarada for the new team 7.

He knew Naruto was going to come at him directly, but in Viz Boruto says: "Using the Teleportation jutsu is cheating, no fair!" - Signifying that he is just playing around to get his father's attention. Though you would be correct on that, I'll fix it.

That does not really change what I said at all though. Their clash was nothing to be taken seriously, but I was focusing more on the attitude of how they are portrayed, rather than the outcome. Despite Kakashi dodging his attacks, he did not do the same for Sasuke.

I think you are thinking through this waaay too much. Bolt knowing Naruto would be able to find him with SM is not an intelligence feat at the age of 12. He had previous counters with Naruto so he guessed over experience that he would come with shunshin, dogs can give reactions based on experience in famous Pavlov's dog test for example. Kiba(he has nothing to do with my previous dog point) around that age displayed far better intelligence feats against Sakon-Ukon yet he is far off from an intellectual prodigy.

Yeah he can be a prodigy but tbh this chapter did not give much hints at all. And prodigy does not have to be intellectual. Suigetsu was referred as a prodigy but he is not an intellectual one.

That's the problem - I'm merely playing around with some of the examples I listed, not calling them feats at all in the Opening Post if you decided to read it through.

I never said Boruto knowing Naruto could use Sm was an intelligence feat, I look it more as a feat of progress. Some kids know things, some kids don't.

His chapter has not come out yet, so in terms of what kind of Prodigy he is, is ambiguous, though but to say he won't be intellectual is sort of fallacious too. He has not shown to be an idiot, he is only a kid who plays pranks and causes trouble to be with his father. That's were their comparisons lie, but in actual intelligence nothing has been shown thus far, especially in battle.

I don't know you that well but dude, you're an awesome guy.

Keep it up

They weren't training though. Naruto wanted to catch Bolt because he humiliated Naruto by painting over his face again. That's why Bolt was playing hide and seek. Naruto might have let Bolt hit him so that he could catch Bolt, but it turned out to be a shadow clone that disappeared after one hit.

Everything you said was rufted in the opening post, I never said they were training. I'm pretty sure I laid out the facts that they were "playing" - Quite some time. This is just a fun thread, not to be taken that seriously. I don't know why people are. I know I mentioned that these "feats" are not really feats themselves. :c

 

[Stxluciferr]

I'm liking the kid, his skill seems a little more honed than Naruto's were at that age

I did read it but as you said those "feats" do not hold weight. So they do not bring much to the table. Kids from other clans seem to be aware of their parents' capabilities too Naruto having SM can be learnt by a 12 year old comfortably.

I did not say he won't be an intellectual prodigy i said a prodigy is not suppose to be intellectual one. So he might be or might not be my post was mainly stating this chapter did not give anything to find out what kind of talent he has.

Exactly, which is why I listed it as an honorable mention. Naruto's SM is not really a KKG, and Naruto himself does not have time to spend with Boruto. I thought it was a nice for knowledge sake. Wouldn't you agree?

I concur completely.

 

[SenseiSama]

Not feats ? Already mastered multiple Kage Bunshin jutsu and outwitted the master prankster. His unpredictability has already been proven to be superior to Naruto's. U_U

 

[Char Aznable]

Granted this was a game and not a serious spar. Naruto is of course going to give his son a fighting chance to win at hide and seek of course. Does anyone seriously believe Naruto wouldn't find Boruto hiding behind that sign?

You compared it with the bell test which means you think it's the same thing as training. Naruto was just trying to catch Bolt, while Bolt was the one goofing around. Naruto thought he had Bolt at first, but it turned out to be a shadow clone and then Naruto wanted to end it with multi-shadow clones, but Sai told him he was being petty, so he thought that he shouldn't get serious against a kid.
