Recently came across a reddit topic that was pretty funny.
It had an old picture from one of the Naruto OVAs where all characters were lined up, and the text claimed this was the line to sign a petition to save Naruto's legacy by cancelling Boruto.
The text went something like this:
Boruto: What's this?
"This is the line to sign the petition to cancel Boruto"
Boruto: I-Is that my dad in the back!?
The comments weren't speaking very favorably of Boruto either. One said he dropped Boruto after episode 25, and asked if it was worth getting back into. One responded "Only if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing else to do".
Yeah, it seems even pro-enders are getting fed up with arcs that lead to nowhere.
I think I'd rather DO NOTHING.
The problem with every NS moment is , it's always happen when the other didn't notice OR there's an interruption. Like the bench scene , Sakura didn't know and the CPR , Naruto is unconscious. The hand feed after Naruto injured his hand , Sai and Kakashi interrupt it. As far as i remember the hug after pain defeated is the only legit that both party know and no interruption , but to be honest as sweet as it looks , i somehow feel like that is more like celebration than a romantic moment. I saw this sign .... danger sign back then when i watch the anime and the manga is still on kage summit arc. I wonder why their moment is always interrupt or one of them didn't notice/know ... it feel ... unfinished , as it seems like the author be like "JUST A LITTLE ... NO MORE" , maybe teasing is a correct word. I know now that's the way the author said "ENOUGH , THAT IS IT FOR NOW" , but why ??
The interruptions are typical romance writing fare, especially in anime or any other media where they tease at a couple but want nothing resolved. the reason for Sakura not knowing it was Naruto disguised as Sasuke is simple. that would have been too easy. That'd be no different than a tsundere or insecure type of girl (one way or another) straight up confessing to the guy they like and the guy DOES NOT misunderstand her or vice versa in another anime or manga series. The idea was to drag the romance on and on until it felt appropriate to resolve it like it always has. As for Naruto not remembering Sakura saved his life. Well that is true but the intention was still there right? the MC being on the verge of death and his/her love interest swoops in desperate to save him/her and/or is completely frantic about losing their "love".
Those are not danger signs, they are the typical type of romance writing you see all the time. Where the LACK OF JUSTICE to those scenes is done is that they were NEVER addressed nor had their purpose acknowledged or fulfilled because everyone just wanted the end of Naruto's era out of the way so they can focus on "Brato Trash's" time to shine, therefore they just rushed and resolved the two main couples they THOUGHT fans wanted to see and the rest was mix and match just for baby making to pop up peers for Brato trash's "social circle" so that the next gen project can get underway. That what is so infuriating.
The ending did not get the love and attention it deserves (Same as Bleach, actually), and Naruto's love for Sakura was resolved in a half assed, lazy, out of nowhere excuse where Sakura said "you only loved me because you did not want to lose to Sasuke-kun", and fans would think to themselves "okay sure, say that to the guy that suffered years of EMOTIONAL AGONY to make you happy, to the point where you found out, you broke down crying you hypocrite. (What was your rivalry with Ino then, huh?)

Which, by the way is not even special. Even Naruto does that, when you think about it.
