Boruto: Naruto next Generation
Konnichiwa Minna San, it feels good to be back at the anime realm community once again. This places always feels like home because it is the one place I get to express my love for anime with like-minded individuals and also interact with them as well. Today I'll be focusing on the son of the seventh hokage Boruto Uzumaki, a young boy with a dream to surpass his own father by becoming everything he isn't
News about the release of a new anime spin-off series after the end of Shippuden felt like Christmas came early to a lot Naruto fans. Apparently it will focus on life after the 4th great ninja war, a new set of young aspiring ninjas (predominantly the children of the previous generation) at a time of peace with Naruto's 12 year old son - Boruto Uzumaki as its new protagonist. As the son of my childhood hero, I immediately assumed he would be a replicate of his father , I thought wrong. Boruto as a kid starts off as a very annoying character and being the son of the Hokage attention is always on him. Boruto hates his father because he is barely at home choosing to work extra hours to ensure the entire village is safe creating little to no time for his family.
The resentment for his dad is understandable but whenever I remember what Naruto had to grow as a kid, no family to call his own and how the entire village hated him, I just can't help but dislike Boruto for not seeing the things his father sacrifices just say he can enjoy these privileges but in the end he is still just a kid. Boruto idolizes Sasuke Uchiha tagging his job as cool and wishes to be like him which is ironic considering the fact that Sasuke is barely ever available in the village entirely and only pops in when he has useful information to for the leaders of the village.
Boruto is a very skillful and talented young Shinobi possessing the wind style chakra nature just like his father. He also has a lightening style nature which he asks Sasuke to train him under going as far as asking to become his student. Unlike his father Boruto is intellectually proficient being one of the top students in ninja academy. He goes as far as taking the Chunin exam early which he cheats his way into the final until he is caught by his disappointed dad.
During this period Naruto is kidnapped by two members of the otsutski clan hoping to create a new ten tails which would mark the end of Naruto's life. With help from the other four Kages and Boruto, they are able to put stop momoshiki otsutski's plan.
Boruto acquired a spot on his palm called karma after delivering the winning Rasengan punch and this very seal becomes the beginning of his problem. It turns out the karma mark is a tool used the otsutski to take control of people's body with or without their consent. Now Boruto has to learn how to control consciousness within so he doesn't become a vessel for destruction.
After the battle with momoshiki, Boruto begins to understand his father gradually. His development skyrockets when he encounters kawaki, a boy who is a rest subject for a mysterious evil group out to cause harm to the peace of the entire Ninja world.
Naruto ends up adopting kawaki to protect him from the dangerous life he lived having personally understood what it felt like to be alone. Boruto bonds with Kawasaki and the two friends along with help from the adults work hard to stop the threats lurking in the dark.
The story of Boruto starts off with the protagonist being an arrogant and unlikeable character that slowly continues to grow, maturing into a protagonist the audience can truly get behind. I still don't like his story the way I do his father but one thing I know for sure is I do understand him better now and I hope there are more opportunities for him to evolve continuously
Thank you.

Sadly, it's a story that I think shouldn't exist. Naruto is much better, I think the prioritization to Boruto is bad. Also, the decomposition of the ninja world is really bad. I don't like Boruto, it makes you lose the essence and how relevant Naruto was. I don't understand how he tries to give protagonism to such a poorly crafted character. Pierrot and his stuff :P
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't you think that's a bit too harsh, I know the story is kinda poor but saying it shouldn't exist is wild. Never the less I understand what you mean, it is very very to like any character in the series and most of the previous heros were given a massive downgrade so I can understand
I always found its inclusion a bit forced, though, I like Boruto's character, truth be told. Good post!
Thanks a lot
I won't say I like the character, I tolerate it. Truth be told I watch it to see original characters again
I think Boruto isn't a series made for Naruto fans. Either that, or the creator himself is trying to give us that impression, even though he sometimes portrays it the opposite. This school never caught my attention, not only because of the enormous criticism it has received, but because it seems like they are trying to tell almost the same story, but with aliens and mutant ninjas.
Good review.
Hahahaha mutants and aliens. Well you not wrong, the series lost the flare of what it should really be about which is a story about ninjas
Thanks for stopping by I truly appreciate

STOPWoooooah that's great news
I'll be keeping this achievement close to my heart
That spoiled-brain attitude he has toward Naruto, complaining that he's not home, also really jarred me. Seeing everything Naruto went through to become Hokage and the sacrifice it entailed, Boruto didn't seem to appreciate it. But I agree with you. The development they give him later, especially when the Otsutsuki and Karma issues appear, and then with Kawaki, is what really gives the story a twist.
The introduction of kawaki added more depth to the series. The fact that he was just as lonely as Naruto when he was a kid made me love him even more. Boruto do have his moments too as well
Thanks for coming through
empecé a verla pero en un punto la deje, no se sentí que no era la misma esencia que transmitía naruto, lo cual parte de ahí, no se faltaron ciertos puntos jeje, igual buen post!
I started watching it but at one point I stopped, I felt that it wasn't the same essence that naruto transmitted, which starts from there, I didn't miss certain points hehe, same good post!
Try giving it one more shot
You might see something you like later on
Once again I appreciate you stopping by
I really enjoyed reading your reflections! 🧡 You captured so well the contrast between Naruto’s painful childhood and Boruto’s privileged yet emotionally distant experience. I felt the same frustration with Boruto at first, but over time, his growth really became something admirable. His bond with Kawaki adds a lot of depth to the story, and it’s fascinating to see how the new generation faces challenges so different yet just as intense as their parents'. Great post and amazing insights—can't wait to see how the story continues to unfold! 💥🍥✨
