Boruto Novel Chapter 3

“No, that’s not it! What I want to know are my dad’s weak spots and shortcomings, stuff like that…”

“…..weak spots…?” Sasuke looked a little stunned. It was as if his face was saying, Do you even need to ask about Naruto’s shortcomings?
That made me chuckle at least.

Behind Shikamaru who was giving the opening speech, there sat the Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi, and legendary ninja such as Might Guy and Mitarashi Anko, revealing just how special this Chuunin Exam was. They were all Living Legends who the people claimed could take on whole nations as opponents.
And that made me laugh out loud because what is this guy smoking, seriously? Not even taking into account the fact that Anko is fat now too.

Metal Lee was the young genius of the Lee Clan that had now become renowned for Taijutsu.
The what clan now?
 
My god the sexual tension between Bolt and Salada!

Edit: also, everything is Naruto's fault for hiding his past as a failure from Bolt, leaving him with no "hard work works" example except weirdos

Did Sasuke forget that he also has a rinnegan? Why doesn't he use any of the Paths?

Dat Majestic Attire: Susanoo though. That was badass.

Boruto is supposed to be the protagonist of this movie right?

Did Naruto heal Sasuke's burns? One second half of his face is charred and then next he's fine.

I'm...kinda mesmerized by how well they fight together now. They both play on their strengths and back up each other really well. Though Naruto seems like the frontliner since he's a lot more durable than Sasuke.

Also, It seems like Naruto may have some training with swords now. That's cool.
 
I think neither of them was going all out. They weren't playing like with Shin Sr., but totally not using their fullest abilities. And still won without exerting too much effort.

Is it true that the movie confirms that Mitsuki is Orochimaru's child?

If so, why they hell did Konoha allow him to become a Konoha shinobi? And why did they put him on the same team as Sarada, considering Orochimaru's nasty history with Sasuke?

For fuck's sake, Orochimaru's invasion killed thousands of Konoha shinobi. They'd have to be insane to let anything remotely related to that man inside the village. I'm still astonished that Sasuke and Naruto haven't killed the fucker. What the hell did he do during the Gaiden timeskip to earn Konoha's trust again? I can't imagine any feat that could possibly have redeemed him, yet everybody acts surprisingly friendly to him like they've all forgotten that he's a warmongering, mass-murdering psychopath who has a history of usurping control of entire nations and kidnapped and performed sadistic, highly lethal experiments upon thousands of innocent people.

It wasn't an explicit statement but it was all but confirmed at the end. The topic comes up and then an image of Orochimaru or something.

I can't even work up the energy to give a damn because we literally know fuck all about this kid and his circumstances. For all we know, the kid just strolled into Konoha one day and no-one has a clue who he actually is.

That's somehow even worse. Yeah let's just take this kid that no one knows who he is or where he's from and put him on the same team as the Hokage's son and one of the only two living people remaining with the Sharingan. Background checks? What are those? We'll just take the kid's word for it that's he's totally loyal and trustworthy.

You really shouldn't be that surprised nova they let Orochimaru wander around basically unsupervised because.... Naruto's an idiot I guess.

Eh, blame Kakashi and Tsunade. Naruto only came into power a few years ago after Orochimaru had been doing whatever for over a decade.

Well, Naruto's Hokage now he could change orochimaru's status with a word.

Not without provocation. All those years without getting on Konoha's bad side and his predeccesors not feeling that it's necessary would count in Orochimaru's favour. Naruto wouldn't just turn around and hand out an execution order. Hell, he would have done that himself before ever becoming Hokage if he actually wanted to get rid of Orochimaru.

He seems to be a part of the status quo now until he crosses a line. :sweat2:

It just seems stupid to give ninja mengele a pass.

Too true. At least if he'd gone into hiding all this time I could have excused it but...¯\(°_o)/¯

I mean, I know everyone's all for that "breaking the cycle of revenge"bullshit or whatever but I think there should be some kind middle ground where we don't let psychopathic mass murders roam free,ya know?

Well, He did help save the world at the end of the manga. If he hadn't brought the Hokage back the life the Alliance would have died in a ball of fiery death. Then there was the time he healed all the Kage back to full health, and he and his team kind of knocked down Zetsu Tobi for a while when it was kicking ass and taking names.

That stuff is bound to earn you some leeway.

Plus, killing him is hard.

isnt Rochi under house arrest pretty much? My understanding was they'd rather let him do what he wants where they can find him instead of trying to kill him and risk letting him get away.
 
I realized a while ago but keep forgetting to mention: Orochimaru tells Naruto he should know about his new look because of MITSUKI

If so, why they hell did Konoha allow him to become a Konoha shinobi? And why did they put him on the same team as Sarada, considering Orochimaru's nasty history with Sasuke?
Because Mitsuki is not Orochimaru, and children shouldn't bear any responsibility for the actions of their parents.

Also, from outside the story, to further show the new era of peace and how the circle of hatred has been broken by having Konohamaru teaching the child of his grandfathers murder without any prejudice.


EDIT: also, I wonder: what if the Lee clan was founded by Rock Lee?

.... You know, the cycle of hatred everyone keeps pushing strikes me as kind of a broken Aesop.

Plus, Naruto can sense evil. Literally. If Mitsuki was bad news he would know about it.

I don't care if Orochimaru did help save the world, it was his apprentice and his stolen zombie jutsu that put it in so much danger in the first dang place! He still deserves to die for all the evil he did.

...But yeah I guess Tsunade didn't really have a choice but to pardon him. If you mortal enemy switches sides and saves your life, you can't just kill him after that no matter how much you want to. That would just convince all your other enemies that burying the hatchet with you is impossible and you'll stab them in the back if they reach out with a peace offering. If you want to create an era of lasting peace you have to include even Orochimaru in that peace.

...Oh, right. I forgot Naruto could do that. I guess that objection is withdrawn then. Doesn't matter how shady the kid is, if Naruto says he's cool then he must be cool. There's no fooling a guy who can sense malicious thoughts.

...wow, Naruto must be a nightmare to negotiate with for anyone who doesn't know about his sensing ability. It's literally impossible to negotiate with him in bad faith no matter how smooth and charismatic you are.

But why would Lee create a new clan named after his own first name? Why wouldn't he just continue the Rock clan?

That'd be like Naruto naming his kids Boruto Naruto and Himawari Naruto. It would be bizarre.
