Boruto (New Naruto Era - sequel anime and manga)

All these people who could have taken care of him, but didn't step up the place. It smells like retcons.

Kakashi I understand, because of the PTSD. But yes, the rest had some really Skewed Priorities, neither showing gratitude for Minato's sacrifice, nor any concern for making sure that the walking nuclear weapon doesn't go crazy.

I mean Kakashi was like a child, so it really shouldn't have been his responsibility.

It makes everyone seem lazy or inconsiderate. Like was whoring after women more important than looking after his Godson and the Hokage could have at least taken him in. It just doesn't make any darn sense, why no one could have been a surrogate parent.

He wasn't doing that. He was keeping tabs on orochimaru and other threats to the village.

Granted he did a lot of that stuff during that, but...

As people have said, it really seems like a weak excuse just like how Sasuke is always away from his family for no real good reason.

Yet he couldn’t keep tabs on his own damn village.

Some spymaster he is.

Not that I like Sasuke, but he was away from his family cuz he was travelling in other dimensions though? After the Momoshiki stuff is settled he seems to be back with his wife and daughter permanently.

I don't know about you, but even if he's back with his family I really can never buy his and Sakura's relationship due to the past crappy stuff he pulled. As always he never gets really called on for his actions and people act like he's done nothing wrong.

Yes his marriage with Sakura is pretty crap but he did have a fairly good excuse for not being present.

I really feels it's flimsy, especially when he could have kept in tabs with his family.

He completly cut off all contact all from them for over a decade yet maintained consistant communication with Naruto.

That's pretty much abandonment.

I don't care what jackass ya have to kill, the least you can do is send a fucking letter asking "How you doing?"

Sorry, wrong area.

I have no idea how one can read the gaiden and feel it concluded Sasuke did nothing wrong or that the story was wholly on his side.

Seeing Boruto wearing Sasuke's cloak and using his sword reminds me of so many fanfics where Naruto acts like Sasuke or Kakashi and even uses their fighting styles.

So Mitsuki casually reveals he's an Artificial Human to Bolt and Salad, Kawaki became a Godslayer Vessel because Kara has replaced his blood vessels and Nervous system with artificial Ninja Tech. Kobuto makes it clear that this is the future Ninjas will soon be forced to face.

I'm willing to buy Jiraya's excuse more than I am Sasuke's because the Leaf had major, major enemies during that time whereas now it really doesn't. In addition Hiruzen gave Naruto to what turned out to be an outstanding choice of foster parent which was really the only way to keep him safe (Hinata nearly got kidnapped and she's got probably the strongest clan in the village protecting her, the best way to keep Naruto safe would be to keep him secret).

No matter who you gave him to foster, none of them would have an impact on what the populace thought of him though. That was something Naruto had to overcome by himself.

I do think that having so many of the people who would later be his friends know Minato intimately is a problem (since it throws doubts on whether they would have been so well disposed to him if he hadn't been the child of Minato; Kakashi I still definitely think Naruto had to win over, but Jiraya is debatable.)

When Hiruzen died the Leaf was left with no really good Hokage candidates in the village. The strongest people left when Jiraya went off to fetch Tsunade were probably Might Guy, Kakashi and Asuna (and Danzo but Danzo's unreliable at best) and Itachi's attack showed that that just wasn't enough. The Leaf's lack of real resources was a major problem till the Pain Arc when Naruto finally became a big deal.

Sasuke is in the opposite position - not only does the Leaf have no serious enemies since the wars have all ended, it has multiple seriously powerful people.Even if only Sasuke can research Momoshiki, there's no way that should take literal years.

Pretty good episode this week. Lots of action and the bad guy's butt is officially kicked. Also, some Foreshadowing no Jutsu.

Of the three battles with Momoshiki this is probably the most spectacular. Momoshiki's taijutsu was really cool to watch.

They changed the element of the Vanishing Rasengan from Wind to Lightning, but I suppose Sasuke sort of foreshadowed that change earlier.

Probably not going to go directly into the Mujina Bandit arc.

Probably not since they'd catch up with the manga pretty fast if they did that. At least from what I'm seeing on the wiki since I don't read the manga and apparently that arc is only five chapters with the following being seven.

Web generation animators made this ep look so good.

Chocho filler arc. I can dig it.

Godslayer Kawaki now living with the Uzumakis.

Jigen is likely the Fourth Jigen and Kawaki is the Ninth based on the numbers.

So does Boruto have some special ability I don't know about? What was that Curse Mark thing toward the end?

Karma The power born from killing a God(Okutsuki) and a special Byakugan.
