>Series starts with Naruto wanting to become Hokage not because he actually wants the job, but so people will acknowledge and respect him>By the end of the Pain arc, he already has this, so he has no reason to care about becoming Hokage anymore>Fast forward to Boruto, Naruto's "job" consists of sitting at a desk doing paperwork all the time and barely getting to see his friends or familyNaruto really didn't need to become Hokage, it only happened to get him out of the way for Boruto. It would've been much better for him to realize that he already got what he wanted.
>>275016635No, it's cathartic when the MC actually achieves what he wanted in the first chapter. That's why FMA is so good, it starts with the brothers wanting their bodies back and it ends with them achieving it.
>>275016635Boruto is a shitty cashgrab that didn't factor into the plot developments of the original series, and you're retarded if you believe otherwise. And while it's true that a major plot point in Naruto wanting to be accepted by the village at large was resolved after the Pain arc, the relationship between him and Sasuke had overtaken that as Naruto's primary motivation by that point and concluding the series before resolving their differences would've been retarded. You can now delete your pointless, shitty thread.
>>275016635>Series starts with Sasuke wanting to become stronger not because he actually wants to kill Itachi and avenge his clan, but because he wants to kill elders who ordered Itachi to kill his clan.>By the end of the Danzo arc, he already has this, so he has no reason to care about becoming revenge anymore>Fast forward to Boruto, Sasuke's "job" consists of travelling the world doing shit all the time and barely getting to see his friends or familySasuke really didn't need to become an outcast, it only happened to get him out of the way for Boruto. It would've been much better for him to realize that he already got what he wanted.
>>275016719It's more cathartic seeing a main character develop and grow out of his childish dreams.
>>275018064 There is a reason why you are not a famous writer and, despite whatever you might tell yourself, your take on it is not that valuable or representative.
>>275016635>Fast forward to Boruto, Naruto's "job" consists of sitting at a desk doing paperwork all the time and barely getting to see his friends or familyI really dislike how being Hokage is framed in Boruto, with Naruto just seeming like an unfulfilled loser despite having the highest office in the land
>>275017932sasuke never gave a shit about his family, much less sakura
>>275018726I don't need to be a famous to see how Kishimoto mishandled his story
>>275019260Careful. You can't criticize Kishi around these threads. Too many anons think he's infallible despite evidence to the contrary.
>>275016719>>275018726If Kishimoto can't do a power fantasy right then he might as well not have Naruto get what he wants.Why write something if you don't have the intention to do it well?
>>275019364Just because you have good intentions doesn't mean they'll be good. Path paved to hell and why not. Silly anon.
>>275019386The problem is that Kishimoto had neither.
>>275019415Eh. I think he just lost his passion for the series. Explains why he gave Bort to Pedomoto.
>>275018914Eh, I like that Naruto became more mature instead of becoming a manchild like Goku.
>>275019673I think there's a middle ground there. Just have him be a responsible Hokage while still being a present fatherThen again Naruto appeals to a lot of people with no father figures, so maybe it was all deliberate
>>275016635all my friends who read that shit hate it. when i asked why are you still reading it, they just say "you wouldn't understand"
>>275016635Boruto is non canon
>>275020153Kishi...
>>275016635I've been ranting forever about this.Not only that is a letdown watching Naruto reaching his dream just to realize that>Oh surpriseBeing Hokage sucksBut also... It doesn't make sense the way it conflicts with his private life.I know Hokages have been shown to deal with a bunch of decisions and paperwork since the beginning of the series. But it always felt like a bunch of those responsibilities could be relegated to someone of trust. For example, one thing is military decisions, but stuff like business and trade, could be deal by some secretary. Instead, in Boruto it seems Naruto takes care of EVERYTHING.Also... Clones.Just clones.Naruto fucking main technique even before the Rasengan.Just with that he should be able to create a whole system to support himself so he can just spend his time fucking his wife and being a decent caring parent to his kids, while the clones deal with the tough and boring paperwork.There's no reason why he couldn't do that, considering the clones are just as intelligent (or dumb) as the original.It could look irresponsible to others. But the fact is that Naruto is pretty much the only person on the Ninja world that can allow himself to have hundreds or thousands of clones active doing menial work. So why don't do that?
>>275021589Boruto is just a cashgrabthey needed a reason to make naruto busy they also nerfed naruto and sasuke for same reason
>>275017932>but because he wants to kill elders who ordered Itachi to kill his clanHe didn't know that until much later. He thought Itachi just did it because he was a psycho who wanted to test himself.>By the end of the Danzo arc, he already has thisNo, because 2 of the elders were not only still installed behind the seat of the Hokage, but they continue to be even into Boruto's time somehow.
>>275018914>despite having the highest office in the landIt's really not though. He's the leader of a mercenary city that, admittedly, grew into a proper city over time. He's still basically just a mayor since the Land of Fire isn't ruled by the Hokage. The daimyo is still in charge of the country at large. Don't let the ninja politics district you from the fact that there is a world beyond the ninjas themselves.
>>275018064No, that's subversive nonsense.
>>275016635Sorry the whole manga devolved into “mhu spiral of hatred and violence” that slowy hijacked the whole story once it devolved from simple worldbuilding to “source of everything bad (and le evil alien gods)”.So naruto switched it in becoming an hokage also for stopping it.Be grateful tht at least naruto had some build up for that, or else you would get deku “i totally love being a teacher more than an hero” happening completely offscreen because of hack writting
>>275021589>Village retard becomes mayor>Has Shikamaru to help him with duties>And clones>Could also hire a bunch of people to further make things easier and free up time for your family>Still swamped with paperwork somehowHis retardedness is so limitless, he even infected the authors. Fucking artificial drama to make Boruto work.
>>275019308>Too many anons think he's infallibleSeriously? I drop in here once in a while and I see more plenty shitting on him...
