** Knowing Sasuke's own background with seeking power, it's possible he approves of Boruto's willingness to go around the rules to become stronger even if he knows Naruto disapproves of it, and hey, he managed to do it without joining forces with a crazy scientist terrorist who is likely a pedophile, so he is doing better than Sasuke at his age.

Added DiffLines:

** While filler and likely shouldn't be considered canon, the anime shows Boruto awakening his Byakugan before he started on Ninja Academy, though only in one eye, he just has poor control over it and can't activate it at will, the thing comes and goes as if it had a mind on its own.


Added DiffLines:

** Boruto is young and likely doesn't realize how powerful his father trully is, he may know that Naruto has a demon fox (willingly, at this point) sealed inside of him, but the true power behind a tailed beast may be too large for Boruto to even process at this point in his life.

Added DiffLines:

** We don't know if Naruto knows that Mitsuki is Orichimaru's offspring, like said above, Orochimaru is in oddly good terms with Naruto, Oro could have just claimed Mitsuki is the child of Sound ninjas under his command that wanted their son to have a less bizarre life in Konoha, and given how much of an excessively good guy Naruto is, he would welcome the kid with open arms, even if he knows about Mitsuki's origins, it still stands that as far as Naruto knows, Mitsuki is an innocent that happens to be blood related to a terrorist, and he wouldn't allow any child to be treated differently due to their origins given his own background.

* Why didn't Sasuke call Boruto out for using the Kote to make a bigger Rasengan? Could've saved the kid and Naruto (who is Sasuke's best friend at this point) the embarresment of being caught cheating at an international event like the Chunin Exam.

* Since the main villain was shown absorbing chakra directly from Naruto, why doesn't Naruto just go into sage mode to turn his enemy to stone, the exact same way he defeated one of the paths of Pein/Pain? If he was in too much pain to do a full transformation he should still have enough presence of mind to gather enough nature chakra to make the villain back off for a bit (as it is doubtful the the Hokage wouldn't have any training to resist torture).

Why would they even let him train in the Leaf Village in the first place? Even if it's not necessarily public knowledge one would assume that as Hokage, Naruto would at least be privy to the knowledge of his origins.

* The Nara family jutsu is supposed to rely on the size of the user’s shadow for area of effect. So how the heck did Shikadai extend it in a solid circle like 20 feet?

** Possibly for the same reason standard firearms (the ones used in filler episodes do not count) will never appear in Naruto. There are just some technologies the series will and won't have access to. Besides, considering most shinobi are capable of running long distances without tiring, and the average citizen rarely seems to leave their village/country, automobiles seem a tad superfluous.

** More than likely the latter; Hyuga half-breeds seem to require emotional duress to awaken their Byakugan, similar to how an Uchiha awakens the Sharingan.

** The attack most likely requires chakra to cremate its target. Chances are that Kaguya wanted a White Zetsu army to serve as CannonFodder in the event that they absorb her attacks (especially the All-Killing Ash Bones) and attempt to use them against her. Also Kinshiki and Momoshiki are more battle-oriented than Kaguya was.

* Why exactly would Kaguya Ootsutsuki have needed a White Zetsu army to deal with Momoshiki and Kinshiki? Momoshiki's ability to absorb ninjutsu wouldn't have been any defense against Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones, since those are a direct physical attack and not a mass of chakra.

Several moments:



* The way that Boruto lights up with happiness when it comes to ensuring his little sister's happiness and his warning against Naruto not to screw up her special day. [[spoiler:Can't really blame Boruto for reacting with anger when Naruto blows off attending his daughter's birthday party for the sake of his job.]]
** Vice-versa, Himawari's adoration towards Boruto, cheering him on in all his matches and becoming sad whenever something bad happens to her brother.
* Himawari finding Naruto's old Genin suit and Hinata smiles in nostalgia.

* Sarada noting how happy Sakura is due to Sasuke being back in the village. Sakura says its the same with Sarada.
* Konohamaru, rather than get angry at Boruto for waking him up in the middle of the night, gladly accepts Boruto's request to teach him the Rasengan.
* Naruto worrying and reacting with happiness over Boruto's progress during the Chunnin Exam. The same goes for Boruto's reactions when he receives such praise, as that was really all he wanted.
* Sarada noting how blue Boruto's eyes are compared to his father, causing Boruto to blush. Even when arguing, these two are pretty close.
* Hinata calling Naruto "anata" which in Japanese can mean an endearing form of the word "you" or in the case of married couples, "honey".
* Boruto seeing how scared Sarada became in [[spoiler:Momoshiki's presence]] and puts aside his own fear in order to protect her.
* Naruto doing his best to protect the citizens of Konoha and his son from danger.
* Sasuke smiling warmly a lot more often in this movie, particularly when it comes to Boruto's progress as his student. He even treats his relationship with Naruto with a lot more care and respect.
* Hinata, Sakura and Sasuke smiling with warmth and pride after seeing Boruto [[spoiler:don his father's old clothes and teacher's old forehead protector before voicing his intent to save his father from Momoshiki and Kinshiki.]]

* Boruto mimics his father's penchant for sending shadow clones for menial tasks at the end of the movie.
