Naruto to Boruto Discussion Thread

[SlendVeny]

Spoiler: Another wack analysis: Blue eyes edition

One thing that still confuses me to this day:

Assuming the translations are correct, I'm not sure that this has come to fruition yet.

There are a couple of popular theories on the net:
1. The statement refers to Jougan
2. The statement refers to Senrigan
Both of these can't be true since the word used in the statement was plural. Also Senrigan is obviously out because they don't belong to Boruto. So most likely these blue eyes of Boruto refer to the natural eyes of Boruto.

Another popular opinion is that the statement refers to the Omnipotence switch event as taking everything from Boruto. Which might make sense for 2 reasons:
1. Momoshiki had been hyping up this event for a long time.
2. Momoshiki's reactions before, during, and after the switch happened seem to suggest that this is what he was hyping up.

But I would like to present another theory now. The reasons why I am presenting an alternate theory:
1. Boruto's eyes weren't the focal point or cause of the switch happening. In fact the entire event was pretty much out of his control. If anything Naruto was more at fault for it happening than Boruto.
2. Momoshiki hasn't appeared yet in TBV.
3. Two Blue Vortex seem to refer to Boruto's blue eyes and so there is a good chance that they might become more relevant now.

What if Momoshiki was just acting to throw Boruto off? Maybe he was acting to make Boruto think he had hit rock bottom and then went into hiding so that he can strike at an oppurtunity in the future and truly take everything from him. Boruto's blue eyes obviously have no powers so maybe they signify a trait of Boruto's that would lead to this downfall. Maybe the eyes signify Boruto's hope/optimism or trusting nature (maybe towards Kawaki or sumn else). Both of these qualities weren't instrumental during the Omnipotence event since Naruto is the reason Kawaki stayed in the village in the first place. But TBV really makes it a point to portray and question Boruto's loyalty towards Kawaki.

Or, Momoshiki did mean the Omnipotence switch, and Boruto was responsible for it (Which would be lame but aight).

You draw the comparison to Naruto, but that's exactly what the blue eyes represent. They are his connection to his father, who was known for having bright blue eyes like the men of the Namikaze line presumably had for generations.

100k shot directly into your bank account, but you gotta spend a week locked in a big ol' house with 3 random characters from Naruto. You taking the offer?

I'm starting to think it's referring to both Boruto's and Himawari's blue eyes.
The "vortex" is likely a reference to the Uzumaki theme of spirals and helices, which would make some sense since they're both Uzumaki.
I really think Hima will be playing a pivotal role in TBV.

Would rather not take the risk of death, make it 10 million and I'd consider it

While this is true, I sincerely doubt the message is about Naruto causing Boruto to lose everything. Momoshiki's statement seems to refer to Boruto specifically.

I think so too.

On second thought yes. The verse is fodder tbh.

 

[SlendVeny]

Memes aside, I want a Teuchi oneshot. This guy is awesome. I know it's anime only, but there was that one time Naruto lost his free coupon and Teuchi gave him a free meal and seconds anyway because he looked stressed. And then, in what I think might be originally from a novel, Teuchi gave my man free Ramen for LIFE even though he thought he might go out of business from a month's worth of free meals for Naruto. And then, because Naruto is his friend and probably talks about Ichiraku every day, he has to build a second story onto his building because he has so many customers.

I ******* love Teuchi, he deserves all the Sage of 6 Bowls memes.

 

[SlendVeny]

You got Jiraiya, Konohamaru(New Era), and Shikaku.

 

[SlendVeny]

That's a shame, because your group would have been Anko(New Era), Himuka(a random novel genin who was on Itachi's team and did nothing), and Gaara(Sasuke Retrieval Arc)

 

[HelloThere1089]

It's chill cuz they don't seem like the type to attack me. I'd be chilling with Shikaku most of the time playing chess.

Edit: If I got to choose tho....

sure

most naruto characters arnt gonna care enough about you to kill you.

its also unlikely to get 3 people who collectively agree to jump you, theres likely gonna be more infighting between those 3, even if they all villains

worse case would be like Orochimaru,Kabuto and another sound member or Jugo and 2 fodders.

 

[HelloThere1089]

Also most Naruto/Boruto villains are interested in kids. So I'm safe.

Now, I say I'd do it, and looking at my 3 randoms, it's Temujin(Post-movie), Naruto(Post-Baryon Mode), and one of those filler kids from Himawari's class. Easy W.

Wire that cash to my bank account NOW.

 

[HelloThere1089]

If we're being real tho, only case where this would be a bad deal is if one or more of those people are psychopaths. Which statistically speaking, has a very slim chance.

 

[SlendVeny]

Well, that's only if you can last a week with:
-The dead dad from the Land of Snow movie, but alive now
-Chunin Exams Kankuro
-Gengetsu Hozuki

Gengetsu and I will be buddies FOR SURE, and he'll protect me from the other two if need be. Although it probably won't even be necessary tbh.

Easy 100k.

 

[HelloThere1089]

Ngl I'd be happy to be locked up for a month for free if I could choose my characters.

 

[SlendVeny]

He doesn't need to protect you from the first guy, that dude's only motivations are to take care of his daughter and melt snow. He's also just a normal human.

 

[SlendVeny]

Me too, but preferably characters from earlier on, like Jonin Minato or young Tobirama, so that I could lay out some plans for them.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

Was mainly thinking of Kankuro, but tbh on second thought he's a pretty chill guy. He was only a bit of a menace during the CE cause he was acting on orders and scared to death of Gaara.
I think as long as I don't piss him off, all will be well.

 

[HelloThere1089]

Draw the characters again for me. Maybe this time I'll get someone interesting.

 

[KaydeeX]

You got Jiraiya, Konohamaru(New Era), and Shikaku.

These are easy ones, i would be more privileged than it being an actual task tbh.
Thought you were gonna say Orochimaru or sumn

 

[SlendVeny]

Oh, shit, going back for another 100k?

You got:
-That genie from the OVA(Holy hell this is the best one you could've got)
-Baki(From Sunagakure, not from the Hanma family. Also, it's Part 2 Baki.)
-One of the academy teachers from Konoha Hiden


So, unless Baki decides he'd rather kill you than compromise, this might be the best possible outcome.

It's fully random, that's what makes it risky.

With luck like this I should start gambling ngl. It's just a game of probability and memorization right?

Also, yet again I got no women. Why is this getting so real (I know the probability is less cuz less female characters but still)

Oh, the teacher character was a woman. Her name is Sadoru, and she's a Kunoichi.

She just doesn't ever do anything.

Doesn't matter. We can just do nothing.... together.

So… In your Approximations, who is winning between Early EMS Sasuke (Kabuto Fight) and Early KCM Naruto (Pre-Ch.571).

I actually think Naruto loses this candidly.

If you mean Early Kabuto fight, probably Naruto, if end of Kabuto fight, it depends on if Sasuke got hatred amps after the fight or not. If yes, then still Naruto, if not or if the hatred amps were miniscule, then Sasuke as he's equal to MKCM Naruto (I don't really think there's a significant difference other than genjutsu resistance and mini Bijuudama though).

It's pretty close imo, but Naruto still having no answer to genjutsu is pretty rough. Early KCM also didn't last quite as long as it did later on (especially if he wastes chakra on clones, which let's be real, he definitely will), so that's another big disadvantage. Overall I got Sasuke edging it out. One could argue that Kurama's gonna bail Naruto out, but that's lame so I'm ignoring it.

I mean maintaining KCM clones for hours is pretty much the whole reason which wouldn't apply in a single fight

 

[Kayzz]

Which Otsutsuki (Sans Shibai) has the best arsenal, all things considered?

1. Kaguya
2. Momoshiki
3. Isshiki
4. Kinshiki
5. Urashiki
6. Hagoromo
7. Hamura
8. Indra (Game)
9. Ashura (Game)
10. Toneri

Kaguya
Isshiki

He did gas out (ch.552) after just one real fight since he made his clones at the end of chapter 545. The Itachi/Nagato fight wasn't even that long, really.
I mean, I guess you could count his encounters with the Raikage and White Zetsu prior to making the clones, but those were pretty short skirmishes as well.
His stamina is obviously not bad by any means, but it's not super great either imo. At least when he makes clones.
