Summary
WhileBorutois a tale about the current generation of Konoha ’s shinobi , it is also a sequel toNaruto- and like all sequels , there were severalconnections and overlapsbetween the stories . Being a sequel also brings preconceived notion thatBorutowould be similar toNaruto- and it ’s upsetting when that August 15 is perceived as inaccurate . However , a deeper flavor reveals that the narrative was never about a boy following in his father ’s footsteps , but rather a son dealing with the legacy inherited from his father .
The reveal really hap inNarutoChapter # 700 - the saga ’s concluding chapter . There , Naruto explains to a untried Boruto thatto become a ninja one must master the power to endure . Unsurprisingly , with all that Naruto had to last on his journey from ostracized orphan to Hokage , it ’s natural that he ’d declare oneself such advice to his son . However , when examined in twinkle of a comment Boruto wee-wee later on , it exposes a more heavy understanding .
InBoruto : Naruto Next GenerationsChapter # 1 , during the opening vista of Boruto organize to fight Kawaki atop Mount Hokage , Boruto declares , " I ’m still a ninja " . Without a better understanding of the circumstances that led Boruto to that point in his living , and without keeping in mindNaruto ’s last chapter , it is almost impossible to grasp the full meaning of the gossip as it apply the nucleus theme of the saga .

Boruto’s Hero Journey Is Different From Naruto’s
In addition to exposing the genuine core theme of Boruto , the liaison between Naruto ’s advice at the close of his narrative and Boruto ’s statement at the first of his one also suggests thatBorutois so much more than a poorly done , recycledNarutostory .

It especially is not the case inTwo Blue Vortex .
