Naruto went too far / Boruto Double Standards

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

So Naruto clocks that Boruto is cheating right? Obviously, yeah disqualify him. But Naruto...the most understanding person in the NV who considered Obito the coolest guy, redeemed Nagato and let Sasuke off with god knows what IMMEDIATELY strips him of his ninja headband and embarrasses him in public. Hurting Boruto in the worst way imaginable for him.

It's so out of character and so messed up, especially when you realise that in his early days- Naruto was just looking for attention and other people's admiration too. So much so that he stole an ancient relic which gave him his main technique he uses to do EVERYTHING from saving the ninja world to half-assing his daughter's birthday party.
So...cheating in an exam with an iffy ninja tool is worse than theft of an ancient artefact to cheat the graduation exam?

Talk about double standards. This film made me finally realise that Naruto can be interesting...but I don't like him anymore. He's lost his spark and from the way he was going on about 'teamwork & perseverance". Clearly his ideology has gone stale as he's very soullessly spouting it as if it's a catchphase.

He's not a hero to me anymore, just an old man prattling on- as if he doesn't understand it himself anymore. This makes sense when you look at Sasuke & Naruto's final lines to each other and that theme of the film about 'the soul of the shinobi stays the same" Naruto isn't a hero anymore. Officially a hero of the past, a relic like Hashirama.

In summary, Naruto even in his ideology has officially died and even though it took Naruto and everyone he knows a little while to find theirway, he expects his son to be there already. Not okay. I can't relate to Naruto Uzumaki more. Interesting twist though.​

If u get caught cheating in Chunin exam then u are disqualified. It was told in part 1.Naruto had to disqualify Boruto. He was caught infront of everyone.

 

[Defence]

Naruto's views on justice have always been inconsistent

 

[lndra]

It's easy to understand why Naruto reprimanded Boruto. The issue is his laziness which was facilitated by the use of the device; rather than train, when hitting a dead wall, he ran to the devices.

He has a responsibility to ensure that Boruto, and the other genin, grow into competent adults which wouldn't happen if they relied too heavily on a device that gave them all the skills they needed.

---
It's his job to run the village, and produce better shinobi, not make more Boruto's.

 

[TenseiganFTW]

Naruto changed over time just like we all do...
It makes no sense to blame him.
So many haters going all out
He realized cheating is not good so he gave everyone a fair chance

Yup. That's not my point, disqualifying him is fine but personally demoting him instantly and having his role model publicly shame him in front of an audience is too far for somebody who Naruto basically put in this position.

Even for the blame he does have to take on himself, Boruto isn't a bad kid and Naruto has let people off from killing his parents, attacking world leaders & murdering his sensei. He's meant to be understanding and this is something that he himself has done before.

That pic of Naruto really gives off a Pro Pedo fell. The similarities to Obito don't help his case either.

Naruto also used Kurama in his Chunin Exams and Boruto is a cheater because he used a device.. :bdpf:

They repeatedly call it a Ninja Tool as well? Like I get that Naruto said no to it being advertised during the exams but if people can bring puppets, sacred ninja tools, summonings and dog partners then....this seems like a technical rule wording issue more than anything.

Naruto stole his first tech and used Kurama against Neji. That's how he graduated and won the first round. Such double standards.

 

[Dark Sonic]

Naruto was tricked into stealing the scroll so that nullifies the argument. I would say Kyuubi but Naruto didn't want to rely on him. Bolt was lazy and not that hard-working so he just cheated through. I really thought he learned Chidori but he does have 3 elements I guess.

 

[King of the Heavens]

The rules were that the device was not allowed in the exam. Boruto the little cheat broke that rule hence him being disqualified. Naruto stealing the the scroll can't be called cheating because there was no rule you can't and even if there was no-one would have believed that he could learn anything from it. His ideologies haven't changed the only thing that has is him being the Hokage becuase he's already achieved that dream.

 

[Gerkak]

That's not hypocrisy bolt was wrong to cheat, it doesn't mean it is ok just because naruto did before.

Even a former killer has the right to stop another killer from killing.

That's a good point there. I guess Naruto wants everyone solo cuz he didn't his solo fight on Kiba lol

 

[Masterpiece7]

Where exactly did you watch the movie..?

My point is Naruto's character has become inconsistent.

-Nobody scolded Naruto for his cheating and theft.

-Naruto shouldn't be so immediate & public with the punishment.

-It is hypocrisy and I don't think Boruto should've gotten off punishment-free but Naruto of all people should understand

-Naruto has condoned far FAR worse

-It's too small a technical rule issue for this level of punishment

-It's 50% Naruto's fault he's there doing it in the first place.

 

[The Demon Hawk]

If he didn't do that, you people and the other people in NV would be crying about Naruto being sympathetic with his child and allowing him to cheat. This is an exam for heavens sake. This isn't something in which Naruto could just show off his forgiveness attribute. He has to be just and fair. He has to maintain his reputation. He has to hold on to the responsibility of producing better shinobi. He banned those devices in the exams in the first place and for a reason i.e. to grow shinobi with their own potential instead of relying on external aids. You can't be facilitated in exams.

What Naruto did with Obito and Nagato was a test of his forgiveness which he passed with flying colors. What Naruto did with Boruto was a test of his justness which he again passed with flying colors. There are no double standards here, TBH.

There was no rule against NOT stealing a sacred artifact? I personally disagree. It's called the law.

Also Naruto used it to instantly get a Kage level tech & graduate his exam. Kurama's chakra added to that and boom- he put in no effort. He cheated the graduation exam.

It's the rules though.

1. No one said he couldn't use kurama so him using it's chakra doesn't matter.

2. Ninja tools were allowed because that's how some ninja's fight.

3. Naruto disallowed that device seeing as how anyone can use (non-ninja's), and Boruto broke that one rule so yeah he's got no-one to blame but himself.

 

[Melanin]

Bolt isn't really interested in being a shinobi anyway.

I fail to see how a summoning or a ninja animal/elaborate tool is 'your own strength' or 'determines the power of genin'

Shuriken, puppets, kunai, swords- obviously. A seperate entity (be it Gamabunta, Kurama chakra, or any summoning actually) is IMO way worse & contradictory than the device.
