I like Naruto. No. No, I love Naruto. I adore Naruto. I didn’t despise Chapter 700, nor do I believe almost half the “interviews” that fans/haters have claimed Kishimoto has done to degrade his own series. I’ve read all the chapters. And I’ve enjoyed almost all of the chapters. So when the series instantly jumped into the next generation, I started to sigh. I liked that Naruto ended where it should have, so having a sequel felt pointless. And now that it has officially begun in manga form, I can now say that “pointless” was not the right word. The word I would rather use is… painful.
Our chapter begins with a flash-forward, where a villain who is trying way too hard to look like a villain stands atop the ruined face of Naruto’s Hokage statue in the mountain. Boruto is wounded, but he refuses to fall to this “Kawaki”. Declaring the age of the ninja as over, Kawaki promises to send Boruto to meet his father. Boruto stands up and announces himself as a ninja proudly, before we go back in time to… well, to before this happened basically. It’s not made clear how far back this is.
Boruto is our narrator now, saying he hates ninjas and that includes his father, Naruto, who is known as the 7th Hokage. Boruto instantly endears himself as an annoying little shit by saying how this is his story and his dad is a part of it, whether he likes it or not. Boruto is rebelling against his father for not giving him enough attention, which he full-heartedly admits in his narration.
