Today's episode got me thinking, when Boruto basically told Naruto that him cheating in the Chuunin Exams was Naruto's fault.
I do not condone Boruto's behavior in any way, shape or form. However, Boruto does make a valid point. Regardless if Boruto was right or wrong in this situation, Naruto was still indirectly at fault. This whole thing branched out from Naruto's lack of attention to his family. Naruto just hasn't given his family enough attention, and for that I feel bad for Boruto. Naruto is rarely there for Boruto. I mean, how hard is it to designate one evening for family time? Surely Shikamaru can take over for Naruto in the office for one evening a week, and even Shikamaru would be fully willing to do so. I think even Shikamaru mentioned once that Naruto hasn't been giving his family enough attention, Iruka told Naruto that in the movie. If Naruto gave his family enough attention, Boruto never would have gone this far.
And i'll say it again: Although I agree with Boruto that it is indeed Naruto's fault this happened, I do not support his cheating.
With that being said, now I wonder. What in the world could Naruto possibly be so busy with. So busy that he has used up the thousands of clones he's capable of using to the point of exhaustion (even if its only hundreds now for whatever reason) that he couldn't leave one clone at home. Tsunade and Kakashi definitely cannot produce and use nearly as many clones as Naruto is shown using so what could possibly have happened to make him literally 100's of times more busy than they were?? Technological advances would NOT make him work 100's times more, if anything it should lessen his workload. All the other Hokages had so much bigger tasks, like FIGHTING THE AKATSUKI or COORDINATING A GREAT NINJA WAR. And they still had time to do normal stuff. I feel like the producers artificially created this problem in order for Boruto to have a reason to act like this, but it's not very believable.
