** Similarly, [[spoiler:Kurama's death not killing Naruto, even though it's a known fact that removing Kurama would've killed him, makes more sense than it first appears. Namely, it makes perfect sense if we assume that the thing that kills the jinchuriki isn't the removal itself, but the damage to their chakra network. Long story short, for the tailed beast to be able to seamlessly share chakra with their host, their chakra networks need to be connected, yet distinct. They're not fully united, but they're connected enough that the host becomes used to having the tailed beast's massive chakra pool within it, and used to relying on the beast's chakra whenever they're in sync. And unfortunately, removing the biju doesn't carefully sever that connection first. Instead, it just rips the tailed beast out, damaging the host's chakra network, and maybe even pulling a few nodes with it; now, they not only have a lot less chakra than their body is accustomed to, possibly sending them into shock, there's also a big gaping hole in their network, and/or part of their network is outright ''missing''. And since we know that using up too much chakra can be dangerous, from way back when Kakashi was teaching Sasuke the Chidori early on in ''Anime/{{Naruto}}'', it starts to make a lot of sense; they just "used up" a '''ton''' of chakra, and also have to deal with internal injuries that may require healing. This also explains why putting the tailed beast back in can save the host's life despite the damage, with a bit of thought: Since the biju's chakra network is connected to the jinchuriki's network, the jinchuriki can use the biju's network as a substitute/backup network while their own network heals, and also isn't dangerously low on chakra anymore, taking a lot of stress off of their body. Similarly, giving them some of their tailed beast's chakra can save the host's life, even after the beast is removed, because it works like a blood transfusion to stabilise them after nearly bleeding out. Meanwhile, Kurama's natural death avoids all of that. Rather than being a sudden loss of chakra, his chakra is gradually used up, allowing Naruto's body to become accustomed to it so he won't go into shock. And depending on the specifics of how his death worked, his chakra network was either left behind in Naruto's body or safely disconnected without being ripped away, either of which prevented damage to Naruto's chakra network. It all adds up!]]

* The reveal of the Karma casts both Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation and Cursed Seal techniques in a new light, respectively being a technique that allows the use of another person as a vessel, and one that leaves a mark on their body that can, under certain circumstances, allow the user to reincarnate through it. Either both could be the results of failed attempts to duplicate the Karma for Orochimaru's own use, or he has unknowingly discovered some of the mechanics of the Otsusuki clan's technique on his own, though not perfected them. The pale skin he shares with the clan could further hint at this connection.

* [[spoiler:Kurama dying seemingly for good at first may seem like it breaks the lore of tailed beasts ResurrectiveImmortality. However, at the end of the previous series Sasuke certainly seemed to think it was possible to kill a tailed beast permanently as he twice states he intends to do just that (the first time when he asserts they will burn up along with ten tails, and the second when he states it as part of his plan for revolution once he is done using their chakra to undo the infinite tsukyomi). Further, the only time tailed beasts resurrecting is known to have happened is when the jinchuruki dies with the tailed beast inside them. This is not how Kurama died. As for baryon mode, there are many reasons even beyond "there was never a situation where they needed it" that could potentially explain why it hadn't been used before. Kurama may well have invented it, and thus no other tailed beast knew about it. It could even be only Kurama was physically powerful enough to use it. At the same time, the mysteries surrounding baryon mode allow for the potential for Kurama to resurrect should the story go that direct. Baryon mode had never been used before, so Kurama may well have had to guess at just what would happen to him after his "death." But as it stands, there are logical explanations for him staying dead, i.e. the previous series implying tailed beasts could die and stay dead, and the explanation that baryon mode changes Kurama's chakra into a entirely different kind of energy that is burned away, leaving nothing for him to resurrect with. He'd become a soul with no chakra left in it to link him to the living world, and thus stay in the afterlife.]]

* The Field Trip Arc takes place right after the 5 Kage Summit where Gaara and Naruto remind all the kages of the new generation's potential to surpass the previous one. The arc has Boruto's class involved in a problem with Hidden Mist shinobi, similar to one of Team 7's first big missions. The difference here is that unlike Team 7, Boruto's class have yet to graduate to being genin. Also, while Naruto and Team 7 had to deal with one member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Boruto's class have to deal with opponents holding all seven swords. Surpass the previous generation, indeed.

* While this troper understands banning the use of the kote from the Chunin Exam finals (The ''ninja'' is supposed to be on display after all, not any particular tool), likening it to doping (with all the stigma that implies) leaves this troper scratching his head. The power it confers is no greater than that of Akimichi Clan soldier and food pills, which Naruto and Sasuke were seen popping in ''their'' Chunin Exam finals, just before their matches. For that matter, if Chouchou or Wasabi had made the finals, it would have broken the Aesop of the ills of "instant, effortless power" to smithereens were either to have been permitted the use of her personal schtick (Akimichi Clan Special Food Pills and Cat Cloak Scroll Seals, respectively), and Boruto would have been the first to call this double standard out.
** The main issue with the above comparison is that they're not the same, the Akimichi Clan's Special Food Pills are designed to enhance the clan's chakra and techniques, and are known to cause a huge strain on the user's body (even after eating just the first pill Chouji said how his body was hurting too much) as such, training is required to get used to their effects. Wasabi's Cat Cloak Seals would be comparable to Sai's and Inojin's Beast Scroll Techniques in that they require to be prepared beforehand with the user's own chakra. One better argument against the ban of the Kote Ninja Tool is that it could be considered as a tool, like a kunai or a puppet or a dog, but even then there's the fact that it gives a ridiculous advantage to the user, making it the equivalent of a gun in the Naruto universe.

* During the second ending, a scene has two strings, one purple and one pink, intertwining with one another before creating a ball that begins to divide itself. It's actually meant to serve as a representation of the union between Sasuke (purple) and Sakura (pink) and how they created Sarada. And the "ball" is actually a ''zygote'', which is the creation of new life. See it [[http://the-sasuke-sama.tumblr.com/post/162906331257/this-is-the-best-part-you-know-it-shows-the here]].
