Alright guys i agree the Boruto series needs work due to some of the fundamentals and "illogical" things we have witnessed.

However, thinking more into it can we really blame Boruto?

Think about it, Kishi ultimately broke the series after Pain arc and essentially went the DBZ route which ultimately lead to the Kaguya fiasco. While one could argue Boruto and Naruto are different series we must remember Boruto is a continuation of Naruto AFTER Kaguya arc which means:


All the broken fundamentals at the END of Naruto. Were carried on into the Boruto series.

Part of the reason I believe people are so upset is due to them using Naruto Part 1 (Genin,Chuunin exam) and comparing it directly to Boruto Part 1 (Genin,chuunin exams).

Naruto Part 1 Children were bound by Kishi's original fundamentals
Boruto Part 1 children are bound by War-arc Kaguya fundamentals

War-Arc / Kaguya fundamentals when:

People could simply LEARN a new affinity jutsu.
Chakra Reserves super inconsistent.
Chakra control is perfect for everyone.
People could go from no chakra to full chakra constantly.
Perfect Chakra control = Riku level chakra (Sakura healing Obito)




Time-Line:

Part 1 Naruto
Part 2 Naruto
War Arc Naruto
Kaguya Arc Naruto
Boruto Part 1


So with all this said. Let's give Boruto some slack in reference to the "unexplained"

I don't think Naruto Shippuden was
so bad after the Pain Arc. There were still a lot of things that needed to be explained, and a lost of loose ends to be tied. I think Naruto Shippuden should have ended after the Pain Arc, and Naruto Gaiden should have been the events following. If it had ended after the Pain Arc, there would have been so many questions. What happened to Sasuke? Who is Tobi really? Who are the other Kage? And a whole lot of other questions I just don't feel like typing. I feel like it was necessary, and they didn't do the story too bad. I think it should have ended with Juubito being defeated, cause everything after that was a hot mess.

OT: Wrong section, I think you meant to put this in Naruto Discussion.
