History Headscratchers / BorutoNarutoTheMovie

*** Given that [[WordOfGod Kishimoto]] oversees both the manga AND anime of ''Manga/{{Boruto}}, it may be canon after all.

*** Like in modern times, paperwork still exists. The better question is, how much paperwork would Tsunade have handled in her less technologically advanced days as the hokage?
* How is it that Konoha has access to email and Game Boy like systems for its citizens and yet cars do not yet exist?
** 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.

* [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] is seen as a brief cameo at the end of the movie. Why? To watch over Mitsuki? Does he plan on attacking or scheming against Boruto and the rest? Did he truly change or will he go back to his old schemes again?

** 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.

** 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.

** The novel makes it clear that the device is only banned in the Chuunin Exams. The ninja tool is not currently used as a standard in platoons and so there won't be an examination for its use.

** The Koto is like a shinobi-world equivalent of a firearm. It's a shortcut to being powerful, which goes against Naruto's idea of what a shinobi is. As he said in the movie, the purpose of the Chuunin Exams is to nurture shinobi, not to make a performance (or market such a device).

** In ''Naruto Gaiden'' we saw that Naruto and Sasuke are on rather strangely good terms with [[spoiler:Orochimaru]], so they probably just didn't see an issue with it.
** 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.
* 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 Hokage wouldn't have any training to resist torture).
