' now plans to destroy the Boruto world in a Yu-gi-oh! card duel with his Laval Triple Quasar deck of 1 turn destruction '

 

 

 

'summons all 3 quasars on first turn, proceeds to have them destroy everyone and turn the planet desolate, then goes to space to blow it up.'

Actually I'd welcome yugioh stuff at this point cause now yugioh is better than naruto at this point.

I'd summon the blue eyes white dragon and the god card to lay waste to the leaf village since I'm sure the god card are stronger than the tailed beasts and are huger in size.

You have to understand, this IS (well, WAS) Naruto's story. He's the titular character for crying out loud. That role, we NEEDED the background information so they can provide the audience, us, why he's the titular character in the first place.  Added that info and some relevance in the story, since we were spoon fed with a ton full of background for the secondary main character's family, we could've at least have some sort of balance. 

 

 

@nate
Clan matter for reader and story later, that's why naruto family name (uzumaki) become a big deal when it's turnout uzumaki is a not a regular family name but a powerful clan name which never brought up until pain invasion arc.

Oh that's why sakura getting hate and Hinata getting the love.

I agree with derok, naruto is a main character that thing should be revealed or kishi should never make that uzumaki is a special clan Eventhough sealing technique always a spiral(uzumaki). Turnout that naruto is a chosen one and neji is right

Anyway, how can I stop the notification to my email?

 

To elaborate on what Nate has said, it's irrelevant to Naruto's story.

 

If I can put it into context with a comparison, there are parallels to Superman. I've read a lot of Superman comics and consumed a lot of the other media. I can tell you that one of the ways you can tell whether a Superman writer is worth his or her salt is how much they want to bring up friggin' Krypton in relation to the character of Superman himself. Krypton is irrelevant to Supermans story, because he knows jack about it, or at least only knows what's been preserved and sent with him. Any decent portrayal of the character can get away with him maybe longing for and wishing he knew a heritage he'd lost a bit, but ultimately it doesn't play a huge role in his life. His parents sent him on a rocket, Krypton exploded, Superman was raised by human farmers, considers himself human and his fondest wish - the fondest wish of the strongest being in the universe - is to be one of us. He's the Last Son of Krypton, but that does not define him, because while he might be an alien, he doesn't even really think of himself as one.

 

Same for Naruto. What does knowing his family really add? Or focusing on it? He never knew his parents. Never knew a life before he was ostracized. It doesn't inform who he is, what he is or where he's going. He wants people to love him, like any lonely kid, and wants to be the big cheese of the village. Sure, knowing who his parents were is nice, but what does it do for him? He doesn't know better. For that matter, what does it tell us?

 

For contrast, Sasuke is f***ing defined by his past. There are so many flashbacks, so much backstory for the clan, he's so wrapped up in this dead thing he can never truly bring back. He left his friends over it, betrayed everyone, over the past.

 

Which is not to say you can't get interesting stories out of this stuff. There have been interesting Superman stories regarding Krypton. But they're usually side stories. I think the one that affected him directly was "For the Man Who Has Everything", which gets away with making Superman mad about Krypton because Mongol made him life a false life there that he had to tear himself from to escape the trap of the Black Mercy. You could probably get interesting stories out of Naruto's parents. But that's side story material, unless there's a pressing connection. I admit I raised an eyebrow when I heard that, at one point, Naruto got to talk to a vision of his mother, because why?

 

 

It pretty much destroyed the key dynamic of the series= Hard Work vs. Raw Talent.

 

The Superman Clan was always more Sasuke's thing. Naruto was just some idiot who didn't give up and learned by sheer perseverence.

 

Despite some lip service, the manga was never about that, at least not in the way you want. It's the same problem any Japanese anime or manga with a message of "hard work works" seems to have. They usually have some clutch technique or leg up no one else does. Naruto has a destructive fox spirit sealed inside him, which helped make him special, just the same as Sasuke has super special eyes. Sure, maybe he didn't have the same raw talent and had to work a little harder, but he was still special. Which, you know, is fine. It's something you just shrug your shoulders at and just accept without thinking too deeply on. It's not something you can take too seriously as a theme, though.

 

For Naruto to be an idiot who didn't give up and got by on sheer perseverance, he would have literally needed to be just some random joe in ninja training without a single notable thing about him who dragged himself up from the gutter. Not a lot of people want to write about that, especially in a big fantasy setting like this, so you don't see that much.

If they do that delaying for several days again I probably will.

[TouKen4Life3g]

This is the novel 2; meaning it's taking place in anime.

[gamma]

...she's 8 in the anime?

[Phantom_999]

Around that age, yeah

[T XD]

I'm lost. Isn't the manga after Gaiden and the anime before Gaiden ? Meaning she's younger in the anime and she's older in the manga ? In the anime she's 8 and in the manga she's 12 ?

The manga is after Gaiden. What I posted is from the next novel release. That one is before Gaiden. It takes place in current anime timeline.

This current timeliness is confusing than the X-Men timeliness before days came out.

Hmm................ I wonder? Is this a sign that Sarada is gonna be a satellite character? rule of thumb for this series, if a female is not interesting she will be a  bimbo ms. fanservice,or moe bait

Ya it was confusing til days undid everything but even with the retcon it's hard to know what's in canon or not. Cause with Jean at the end of days that means either x2 never happened or they saved her in that. Then either Logan is a alternate world or the future after apocalypse.

That seems to be the rule of thumb now, that would make total sense. What happened to this series it used be good but now it's like modern family Guy and sponge bob.

Is Logan movie canon ? Cause Wolverine dying doesn't make sense much especially since he healed himself from much worse attacks, right ?
