a possible clash between the two? I can't help but believe that KK has seen a possible death of a person Boruto loves and is withholding that information from Boruto.

I know that Boruto can be a hot-head and I don't think that has changed just because he became more mature,wiser and collected. He is still Boruto after all...

...so what would you say if the two got into a conflict of interest and clashed/fought each other?

Would you approve of such a scenario or not?

Opinion on 2nd to last sentence. I feel like eida would be a fucking problem if she knew more than basic taijutsu coupled with her senrigan who can see live actions or past events

Let’s talk about Sakumo Hatake’s suicide. On the surface, it’s a gut-wrenching moment that shapes Kakashi’s entire worldview. But when you dig into the cultural context behind his choice—specifically Japanese concepts of honor and shame—it becomes even more emotionally complex.

https://preview.redd.it/4e41kdmaeqge1.png?width=1340&format=png&auto=webp&s=01ac4f02ea5175d8fca0de08d1aed7b84236eaf7

The core of Sakumo’s decision lies in the weight of family honor. In feudal Japan (and by extension, the Naruto world), a single failure could stain an entire lineage, dooming descendants to lifelong prejudice. Sakumo’s mission failure didn’t just hurt his reputation—it meant Kakashi, and any future Hatake generations, would’ve faced scorn and abandonment in Konoha. This mirrors the historical purpose of seppuku (ritual suicide), which was seen as a way to atone for failure and symbolically "cleanse" a family’s dishonor.

Was Sakumo’s suicide noble? Not exactly. But culturally, it makes sense:

• Erasing the Hatake Clan’s Shame: By taking responsibility through death, Sakumo hoped to reset his clan’s standing. In a society where reputation meant survival, this was his last-ditch effort to shield Kakashi from a lifetime of being ostracized as "the son of a failure."
• The "Ie" System: Japanese culture prioritized the family unit (ie) over the individual. Sakumo’s choice reflects this—he sacrificed himself to protect the collective, even if it meant traumatizing Kakashi in the short term.
• Konoha’s Ruthless Shinobi Culture: The village’s obsession with mission success mirrors real-world samurai codes. Choosing comrades over duty was unforgivable, and Sakumo’s shame became a societal death sentence for his family.

But here’s the kicker: The story doesn’t frame this as a heroic act. Kakashi’s childhood suffering—internalizing his father’s "weakness"—shows the dark side of rigid honor systems. Sakumo’s death wasn’t a clean solution; it was a tragic, flawed gesture born of desperation. He believed ending his life would spare Kakashi from enduring the same prejudice, but in reality, it left Kakashi isolated and grappling with guilt.

Why does this hit harder with cultural context?
Because it’s not just “Dad couldn’t handle the pressure.” It’s about a man trapped between love for his son and a society that equates honor with survival. When you realize Sakumo likely saw suicide as the only way to give Kakashi a fighting chance in a world that would’ve otherwise shunned him, his choice becomes heartbreaking, not cowardly.

Final Thoughts
Sakumo’s arc isn’t just a plot device—it’s a critique of systems that prioritize duty over humanity. The series shows how these expectations destroy lives, even as characters like Kakashi learn to reject them (e.g., prioritizing teammates over rules). Understanding seppuku and family honor doesn’t justify Sakumo’s choice, but it transforms his death from a random tragedy into a culturally resonant moment of sacrifice, shame, and impossible love.

TL;DR: Sakumo’s suicide hits different when you see it as a parent’s doomed attempt to fight societal prejudice through a culturally coded “honorable death.” It’s not right, but it’s human—and that’s what makes it so devastating.

Guys can someone tell me what's happening with Boruto anime? Why wasn't omnipotence arc animated and if it comes back will they animate it or will they jump right in to the time

I want Garaga in the manga.😆

Shinki used to use puppets along with his black iron sands during the chunnin exams against Metal Lee, in early days of Boruto Manga.

So, could Ryu theoretically use Shinki's puppets as well?

I’m kinda annoyed that Kishimoto et al felt the need to introduce Kawaki into the mix in order to get the story rolling. Obviously, we know from chapter one that it was always their intention to have the conflict be between Boruto and Kawaki, but i can’t help feeling frustrated about it. Sarada is such a cool character with so much potential, yet it’s starting to feel like she’s simply being turned into a potential love interest for Boruto. Of course, we already had the Sasuke/Naruto rivalry and they probably don’t want to repeat that, but why couldn’t it have been Boruto and Sarada? She’s a ninja too.

Can’t post on the Naruto sub for some reason so I’ll ask here.

If the Juubi were to be extracted from Juubidara (same thing that happened to Obito) after he awakened the rinnesharingan would he keep it or lose it?

Kawaki being forgiven. I don't care if he gets forgiven then dies sacrificing himself or gets forgiven by the family but banished out of the leaf. Whatever way they do it, it will NOT end with naruto or boruto killing kawaki out of vengence like you some of you want

Naruto and Boruto are written to be inspirational characters, so yea as corny as some of their actions can be, it's meant to be that way to symbolize a good character trait, no matter how life does them. Naruto is not hashirama and Boruto is not shippuden sasuke, give up on thinking they are. Boruto takes after adult sasuke, not shippuden

Himawari in chapter 1 said that she doesn't believe boruto (referring to kawaki) is as bad as everyone makes it and that there must be something going on.

Boruto we all know doesn't want to kill kawaki, i don't need to give an example

Naruto saw kawaki kill his own son but still forgave him and said that if nobody will have his back then his family must or who else will, also officially called kawaki his son

It would also backstab naruto's character. Im not saying he should just prepare a meal for kawaki like nothing happened, but for his character to do a 180 and just attack kawaki with intent to kill would be character assassination. Naruto would never do something like that to somebody who he understands on a deeper level. Are we forgetting the kawaki arc where he originally took him in because he reminded him of himself?

Naruto and Boruto also know kawaki is not doing what he's doing with evil intent. He has a saviour mindset but he's beyond to extreme with his actions. Boruto knows kawaki isn't doing what he's doing becasue he hates him or wanted his life. He knows its all because of momoshiki at the end of the day. Momoshiki disappears magically next chapter, kawaki gives up on trying to kill boruto, simple as that

The faster those who want him gone out of vengence accept its just not gonna happen, the easier it's gonna be to read when he gets rather forgiven or at the very least redeemed.

Can someone please explain the deal about the whole series as being a flashback to someone who hasn't read two blue vortex?

And why does he have the same ability as Kinshiki ?

Question in the title.

After the recent mission, do you think konohamaru should ever become hokage?

For everybody (including me) who hates kawaki and think that narutos gonna be mad at him, there are some points to remember:

1.Obito killed his PARENTS, yet he forgave him in the end😑

2. Obito killed neji infront of him ,yet he forgave him😑

3. Nagato killed hi 2nd father (jiraiya),yet he forgave him 😑

4. Nagato killed his 3rd father (kakashi), yet ....😑

5. Sasuke almost killed EVERYONE, 😑

Edit: 6. How can forget about orochimaru, bro killed 3rd hokage( who was the only person naruto had any contact in his childhood) Naruto let him roam around the village☠️

And its somewhat obvious that kawaki will be redeemed beacuse villains in naruto are supposed to be forgiven .

And u think hes gonna kill kawkai who just swapped identity with his son , he could have asked eida to request daemon to kill boruto yet he didnt . Narutos gonna hug him for sure 😑😑😑. And there is also boruto who will take side of his BroTHer.
