A.N. You guys can suggest digimon for other characters that are introduced. I only think about that part when it comes down to introducing their digimon so most characters are a blank. You can also suggest names for the digimon. I don't name any until it is time to say the name. One of the hardest things ever, giving names.
I use my personal experience with people and reality along with things I have learned over the year when writing.
The biggest reason why Adult Naruto in this story is so different from canon is because canon is how a little kid might see an adult. He doesn't show any maturity and acts like a teen.
From my personal experience when I grew up and participated in the workforce for just one year, my whole personality shifted and in another year it was almost completely different except some core values.
The way you talk and the way you think changes depending on your experiences and knowledge. Someone who is a top position and actually does their work can't act like a child no matter how much they want to. It just won't feel right anymore.
Yes, there are adults that are very immature but see those people are not in positions of power or they don't do their work first place.
If you establish that Naruto is a failed leader and just sits around office playing with his laptop. I got no complain, that establishes him as a bonafide retard and would make more sense that what is happening now.
The romance parts in a story aren't my favorite either. I write things that I think that fit into the story. My favorite parts are the world building, action, character building moments and the depressing moments, these are the best. I feel them touch my heart and I wish could convey them properly to make you guys cry. Alas, I am just not good enough.
Since most people don't like depression, I will avoid getting into it. I like long and slow, so remind me if I am going too slow for you guys.
Dropping Rika at her place, Naruto finally went back home around 10 P.M. It was a long day for every one as usual but there had been more excitement involved because of the digimon partners.
Watching his young friends grow and become happier was a happy thing for him, and this time his friends could stand beside him.
The gap in power was so huge last time that others had become sidelined and it kind of hurt their spirits even if they didn't show it.
Everyone's dream had been to grow up strong and fight together but the future hadn't been kind on them.
All of his friends were sidelined to mostly mundane jobs as there was nothing exciting anymore and they couldn't really participate in the exciting things.
Things like that made people think they were useless especially people who had been prideful in their skills and power.
Emotions were a complex thing and an incident that might seem insignificant someone, could be world changing for another.
"Yo! Heard my little grandson finally popped some cherry, and I arrived running through mountains and rivers just to give you a thumps up."
Just as Naruto parked his car, he was greeted by his very much loud and excited grandfather. Jiraiya Uzumaki was his name in this world but the personality and looks were exactly the same. At least in this world he had a happy ending just like the rest of his family and Naruto was very much attached to him, more than his new Parents.
Unlike Kushina and Minato, Jiraiya was the closest person to his heart beside Tsunade, Iruka, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura and his family.
He cried a lot when seeing all these people when he had born. It was from the happiness and the regrets.
Jiraiya had died because of Pain and it all could have been avoided if he had been trained properly. In a way his death was entirely his own fault for being reckless and being a terrible teacher but Naruto also felt the guilt for not pushing Jiraiya to train him.
He had lost himself in the happy time while they were moving around the Land of Fire. He had let the happiness mess with his head.
Whenever he got lost in happiness, reality stomped him into the ground.
It happened with Jiraiya.
It happened with Hinata.
It happened with Tsunade. She was a blood relative but he could never help her get out of the depression that she hid behind a mask.
Tragedy after tragedy was her life and she only had some people to keep her anchored to life or he felt that she might have offed herself long ago. Her reality was his regret that he was ashamed to call her granny or meet her after she retired.
Getting back to Jiraiya, he was generally light-hearted and gregarious, making jokes at his own expense and giving a mirthful laugh about it afterwards. In his interactions with others, he liked to pretend to be smug or selfish, upsetting them so that he could further rile them up with his humor. Even when entering combat he did not miss an opportunity to be flashy and over-the-top, striking kabuki poses and giving dramatic self-introductions; these intros were often interrupted in some way, and Jiraiya was quick to express his annoyance at whoever was responsible. Friends and foes alike were fond of Jiraiya for his eccentricities, admiring that somebody so seemingly irreverent could in actuality be an extremely competent fighter and leader.
While he rarely revealed it outwardly, Jiraiya was a great believer in peace and held a deep longing to change the hatred inherent in the world. While he desired to find an answer to the cycle of hatred that plagued the world, he was never been able to come up with a way to do so but he didn't let it depress him and did whatever he could to make the world a better place.
Other than his fighting prowess, most people knew him for his other personality trait. He was a self-proclaimed Super Pervert and his actions showed his lewd desires. He would watch beautiful girls in the gym, the pool or the park.
He would take many days off to just enjoy sexual adventures.
In this world he had gained the Uzumaki Stamina and with his power as an A Rank Tamer, he was granted a further boost. His mutation was the pervert touch and another life; during battle he could get one last breath to finish the fight.
His partner main partner was Samudramon called Musashi and his other digimon was Tylomon called Bunta.
Samudramon appeared to be a samurai version of BlackWarGreymon. It was a muscular black reptilian humanoid with orange eyes, silver spiky hair, three fingers on each foot, and bronzed claws on its hands and feet. It wore black tattered hakama, a bronze helmet with three white horns, bronze chest plate and leg armor, black and red layered shoulder, thigh, and groin armor, bronze leg armor, bronze and black gauntlets with a red wrist, and black fingerless gloves with an armored back.
The back part of the gloves was black with a red outline with two bronze spikes on them. The shoulder and groin armors had a bronze spike on each side of the top of each layer, and each shoulder had a large white blade on its top. Each gauntlet also had a blade on the elbow. The helmet had red borders on the back and near the mouth and red stripe near each eye. The chest plate was connected to the shoulder plates through bronze track-like links, and to the thigh plates through red ropes. Samudramon's Kikurin swords had blades curved inward near the hilt and outward near the top, and had brown hilts with another small, claw-like edge on its bottom. The Kikurin swords could be combined into a bow.
It was a digimon that was stronger than Wargreymon and it had taken Jiraiya almost three decades to reach this stage unlike Tai's ten years.
This monster was extremely powerful as it increased its own strength as it won battles, and was a subspecies of the Greymon-species. It was discovered within the dark reaches of the digital world, the Underworld Swamp. Its uniquely shaped "Kikurin" swords, which it acquired due to its combat experience, left behind eerie tracks of light that could cut to pieces everything in their path.
Jiraiya was a tall and well-built man in adulthood with fair skin. He had waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There were red lines under his eyes which extended further down his face.
For an old man in his sixties, he didn't look older than someone in his peak of power. He was fit and muscular just like the Ninja world.
Just like the previous world, Jiraiya loved Naruto a lot in this world, even more than his son in law Minato or his daughter Kushina.
Looking at the man giving him a happy smile and thumps up, Naruto couldn't help but feel happy. He always wanted to make him happier.
"Grandpa, that is rude. I made love is the right expression. Also, weren't you deep in the Net Ocean?" Naruto walked closer to him and Jiraiya ended up catching him in a bear hug.
"Well, it doesn't change the meaning. I am so proud of you, getting two high class beauties like that. You got balls of steel and even I wouldn't dare do that." Jiraiya laughed happily as he patted his back with excitement.
He now had new stories to share about how his grandson walked up to the Nonaka clan to demand their daughter before visiting the Digi-destined. Oh Man, this was going to be a riot.
"Thanks for the compliment, Grandpa. But, please don't spread it and brag about it. I don't want to ruin our relationship like that." Naruto knew that Jiraiya had the tendency to have fun like that but not everyone had a similar sense of humor. He would definitely offend Riruka and Tai with his words.
They had just barely allowed him so he didn't want them to get angry.
Looking at his serious expression, Jiraiya sighed, "Fine, be a party pooper. I don't know where I went wrong with you. Don't you trust my skills?"
"Grandpa, you get drunk on happiness easily and make mistakes. It might not be a big problem but it is still a problem that can be easily avoided. I know it's a thing you want to brag about, but I gave them an oath."
Once those words were uttered, Jiraiya lost the smile.
"What did you do?"
"I put 10 years of my freedom on the line for this relationship. I am confident in it, so there is no need to worry."
"You are lucky that you made a deal with trust worthy people or I would have beaten you for such an irresponsible action. What were you even thinking?" He could be friendly and funny but when he was serious, he was serious.
This issue had deeply annoyed him and ruined his mood.
He was someone that valued freedom very highly. His motto was live freely and enjoy.
"I needed to show that I could put my life for them. There was nothing else to prove my point. I was asking for a lot, so this was the price for that request. I told them that I would sleep with others as well."
"Get Out! How the hell are you alive after saying that to their faces? Oh man, I want to share that with my guys so much. They are gonna burst a gut hearing this master piece. I forgive you. That was definitely the price for that bullshit and I am so proud of you. You don't have to do anything in your life, because just this is enough for a life time." Jiraiya once again entered an excitement of new a level as he spun Naruto around.
He had been whispering things into his ear for a long time but Naruto hadn't looked at girls. Jiraiya had been worried that his younger grandson lacked the mental and physical capacity for sex. That would have been a tragedy.
Naruto knew he was just exaggerating, Jiraiya was looking forward his grandson's could achieve especially the youngest.
Menma was part of his team so he always knew how the big guy was doing but Naruto was walking an independent path.
"Ignoring that, how did you get back so quickly?" Naruto asked again since the Net Ocean was bigger than the whole planet and was filled with insane amount of digimon.
Jiraiya had gone on an exploration with the Uzumaki family squad called The Whirlpool, The Nonaka Force and the App Divers.
He was leading the quest to locate some ruins or an underwater mine.
Jiraiya smiled and patted his back as they both started walking, "Well, life was telling is to get out of here if you don't want to die. At first we came across Metal Seadramon of the Dark Masters fighting against one of the masters of the sea, Regalecusmon. It was fortunate for us or most of us would have died in a conflict with either of them.
The fight gave us the chance to slip away and only hours later we came across a swarm of MetalPiranimon eating a group of Whamon. If these nasty little bastards weren't enough, a bloody BltizGreymon was hunting in the area.
With such terrible luck, I showed the world a middle finger. Seriously, why not just kill us personally if you were gonna make so many preparations.
Fortunately, this old man still had some life left in him and we met a couple of MarineAngemon. With cute things on our side we managed to escape the danger zone and make like the cowards we were."
All of this was said in a joking tone but Naruto could tell none of it was funny. Just from these words he could imagine the horrifying situation.
Fuck, he hated feeling powerless. Even his Prime would have died in that situation, as all of those digimon were Mega Level.
Net Ocean was one of the worst places to explore because of its higher population of Mega. It was a lot dangerous than the surface since aquatic species fought continuously and evolved to their potential faster.
"Relax kiddo, I am not going to die. I still need to see your kids grow up. There is no way a persistent bastard like me is going croak, Tsunade would pull me out of the grave and kill me again." Jiriaya was happy to see him care so much as he brushed his hair affectionately but deep inside he had been deeply concerned.
He had almost led most of his people in to a watery grave. He had felt fear for the first time in years that he had rushed back home and hugged Tsunade without letting go for hours.
He had hugged everyone that he cared about and finally met Naruto who had been out.
He was just one step from becoming a memory.
But he could never act weak in front of his kids, as that's not how a father or grandfather acts.
Naruto understood him completely, as it was a lot similar to his feelings when he had fought against Momoshiki and then Ishiki.
He had felt fear for what he would leave and he had gone back to his family after the encounter with Momoshiki.
Almost dying had reminded of what was really important to him.
"Grandpa, why did you go there? That's not a place you can go with such a small group." Naruto asked as he knew they weren't reckless so why.
"We didn't plan to go deep into the Net Ocean. We were just going to explore a section that was the territory of few Mega for the ruin from ancient times that could help our survival. This was information from the App Diver's Poseidomon, so you can say that it was trustworthy data. But, everything went wrong when the Akatsuki attacked us.
We had a battle and were pushed deep into the ocean, leading to further unlucky encounters. Let's end that conversation here, okay." Jiraiya answered Naruto's query but told him to stop that line of thought. He didn't feel like talking about it.
Some of their digimon had been killed during this escape and even he had lost two of his weaker digimon. They were like his children. He had taught them from a baby stage and he had lost them. In a few years they would have become Ultimate with their progress but the sea ate them up.
"Grandpa, I am always there if you need to talk." Naruto offered as felt deep pain from him when he talked about it.
"Haha, there is no need. Your grandpa is awesome, there is no such thing as weakness in this stud body." Jiraiya patted his chest with a thud and didn't open up about his pain.
Just like the other Jiraiya, this Jiraiya also never really liked to share his pain with others. It was a quality that he shared with his mentor. Taking others pain was easier than sharing it.
Naruto decided to follow up with his actions, since he didn't want to speak then he wouldn't ask as it would make him depressed. He just needed some time to get over his pain before he gets geared up for some old fashioned revenge, burning down hideouts, torturing the info from criminals about your target and all that usual stuff.
Naruto would love to participate but he needed some time to get to that level.
This was why he felt like life was just playing with him. He almost lost Jiraiya again and this he would have needed to wait for two years to get his revenge.
Yeah, he changed his mind about not killing people that killed his loved ones. Screw everything, he was going to rip and tear everyone involved in that crime.
When he was young, he had told Pain that he wouldn't kill people and rehabilitate them. He had said such words in honor of Jiraiya. Pain had killed his mentor and majority of the Village, so pretty much all the people he cared for were dead.
But, he didn't decide to kill Pain. He was angry and wanted to, but he decided not to. Seeing that, Pain brought everyone back and gave him that he was looking forward to his future.
There was a smile on his face. No matter how you look at it, he was being sarcastic. He knew he was gonna mess up.
After the war, Naruto was the strongest being and he had Sasuke who was his almost equal. Pretty much everyone else was fodder and he could become the Overlord without a squeak if he so wanted. Sasuke had wanted that but Naruto beat him up until he decided to go on a journey. Coming back, he suggested, "Naruto, take over as the ruler. People don't deserve this much freedom."
Yeah, that journey to find his path ended up only making him feel worse about humans.
Naruto was the type that gave people total freedom so he never really took over any territory or the world. He let the leaders stay leaders and did things diplomatically.
That means, he followed rules of international borders and allowed criminal acts to continue. His soft approach meant that other nations could greedy all they want and not worry about him interfering.
With international borders in mind, he couldn't even visit places without notice. People didn't want him coming without notice.
He allowed it by following the rules because if he didn't, it meant he was following the path he had denied everyone else.
Sasuke had wanted to rule with fear.
Pain had wanted to rule with fear.
If he used his power, it was the same thing.
He continued to try using his words and actions to invite people to change and allow a better world to exist.
He made rehabilitation centers for criminals and only executed the most severe ones.
The world he left wasn't perfect but he had worked really hard on it, and it was safest and cleanest it had ever been.
There were no wars. There were no skirmishes taking place. There was no hatred between nations or groups.
There were just some criminal groups and general human greed at work.
In a way, he had made it that difficult. He could have always taken the easy way out.
One of his options was to let the people choose, if they wanted him as their Leader. If he had done that, he wouldn't be breaking any rules.
But he had been mired in the normal patterns and never really thought about it until arriving in the current world. He had enough time to just wonder where he went wrong.
He was a baby for a time so he couldn't do anything else but think for a year.
After having a talk with Jiraiya about casual things and how to treat girls, Naruto retired to his room while Asura was asleep since the team spar ended. The day was too tiring.
Entering the room, he was tackled by Ruri against the door. She was always so forceful.
Her eyes were twinkling as she looked at him with a smile.
"See, you finally came back to me." Ruri teased as she placed her fingers on his lips, she was strong enough to keep him in check unless he used chakra.
Ruri wasn't a surprise.
"I guess you were right. I am sorry that I kept you waiting for so long." Naruto replied in a gentle tone as he gave her a hug.
She was small compared to him and the rest of the girls, and she just fit into his arms.
It was a nice feeling.
Ruri had said that he would come back to her with his own legs. At that time, he had denied it. But here they were with his mind changed on the topic.
Taking care of people he loved in a way was nice and feeling their affection made him happy. It was less than what they wanted but he would make them happy.
"Hehe, I am just happy that you came back this early. The game would have gone boring if you continued longer." Ruri rubbed her head on his body as she stuck to him, enjoying the contact.
Naruto decided to walk forward and looked at the other participants, ignoring Ruri's dark implications. The girl was very much dangerous when she didn't get what she wanted.
Rika would have been dangerous in a way and it would have taken some time, while Ruri here was extremely dangerous in the present.
There was a high chance that she would have kidnapped him and brainwashed him.
Moving on, the most surprising guest was Roberta. The head maid of the Uzumaki Residence was standing there as she greeted him with courtesy of a maid beside her stood Hilda while Morrigan sat beside Eve.
Roberta was pale-skinned young woman with waist-length black hair that was tied in low pigtail braids with square bangs hanging over her eyebrows, blue eyes that could sometimes turn dull purple, sharp canine teeth and large, thick and overly round glasses.
She was wearing a long maid uniform and a cross necklace.
She was the daughter of Myotismon, just a normal one and not one of the Vampire Lords under the Vampire King.
This means she had vampire powers and needed to drink blood or humans or digimon. She always acted cold and professional.
She had huge arsenal of weapons and utilized them with skill to destroy all her targets with utmost certainty.
She didn't care if her target was a child, woman or elderly or whatever, she would kill it. She reminded Naruto of the ANBU and their cold dead looks.
But under that entire cold exterior, Roberta cared deeply for her family and would do anything to protect them. She had no concern for her life and would kill herself if it meant that the family would be saved.
While she greeted him, her partner BelleStarmon called Grace sat casually on the sofa like she owned the place.
BelleStarmon was a female Beelzemon that was more on the human side than the demon side. She was beautiful woman with long blonde hair and three eyes like Beelzemon. She had gorgeous form that was covered in black leather pants and a leather bikini top. She also had a muffler that could change shape, allowing her to attack and defend.
Unlike Beelzemon, she used twin pistols.
She was a very outgoing person unlike her master. She liked to party and socialize. She could be found riding around in the night and was a friend with Jack.
Other the Grace there was also the lower form of Hilda's partner, Dobermon called Oga. It was smaller than usual so it looked cute instead of a ferocious beast.
Dobermon was a dog Digimon who resembled the Doberman pinscher. It had piercing red eyes and a metal collar with spikes around its neck. Its main coat was black, but the fur around its muzzle, paws, and inner body was brown. It had three toes on each paw with a claw on each toe, and from the back of each foot jutted a blade. It had gear-like protrusions on its spine and knees, and in each thigh was a red gem.
Dobermon was a Demon Beast Digimon. It was a Hunter Digimon that was originally a Virus Digimon, but was converted to a Vaccine by a mutation. Similar to Snimon, despite being called a Vaccine, it was a ferocious Digimon that existed solely for hunting Virus Digimon, and it couldn't be controlled by an ordinary Tamer.
This was the lower form of Cerberumon and one of the followers of Plutomon.
It was also the Digimon partner of the famous young witch, Alice McCoy. Magic was a thing since mutations and there were many magical Digimon.
One of the Digimon Universes specialized in magic and magic Knights.
"I didn't expect you to be here, Roberta." Naruto voiced his surprise as he stood in front of the girls.
This was a necessary talk to get the smaller details out of the way as he didn't want them causing him issues or becoming depressed when he wasn't looking.
"Apologies Young Master, it is a calculated move. I wish to stand by your side so that this family can keep rising. Master Menma can't satisfy those conditions." Unlike the other three, she didn't love him or desire him for sex.
She was logical and wanted to keep him tied to the family, and make sure he didn't die.
She was vampire so the only thing she needed was blood.
Naruto's blood was the one she enjoyed the most because of its high life force.
She also wanted to birth a powerful child and Naruto wasn't the ideal partner for such an act. If he was going to sleep around, she might as well act and get what her goals fulfilled.
She was a thirty years old now and she hadn't experienced any love or sexual experience.
She lived a life of work and enjoyed the simple things.
"What are these conditions?"
"Providing me with the appropriate meal and granting me a powerful child to pass my mission." Roberta answered in a calm tone and in her presence the rest didn't make noise.
She was the most powerful person in the room and even Jiraiya would get destroyed if he fought her alone.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, that is enough."
Naruto could tell she wasn't lying but he didn't like such a thing. He would have to light up her life somehow, now that she was going to be attached to him.
Her wanting a child to pass her mission was also a cause of concern. She would have done that with someone else if he wasn't available.
The kid's life would have been set from the beginning with her mindset.
"I will allow it, but you have to learn a few things before I give you a child." Naruto answered as he walked up to his bookshelf and took out the books on children. He had read a lot on these things to understand things for his new life.
He wanted to be a better father this time. The children were the greatest joy of his life, but he really had let himself go on the wrong path.
Roberta got the books and looked at them curiously, "Understood, and is there anything else I can do? Would you like me to accompany you for the night or are these three enough?"
"Four" Eve chimed in and gave him a wink.
"I want to watch, if you wouldn't mind." Grace asked as she took out a beer bottle but didn't open it and just played around with it using her muffler.
Roberta would give her the killer gaze if she drank while everyone was not.
"Didn't know you were such a perv, Grace." Eve laughed at her words but didn't go too far with her comments. Grace could one shot her and torture her if she wanted. The difference between an Ultimate and a Mega of the highest ranks was huge.
Grace was stronger than Ryu and Jack that they would need to double team her for a proper fight.
The real BelleStarmon was Beelzemon's woman.
"I believe you aren't someone that should be calling me that, Eve. You are such a slut and a massive pervert. Giving people golden showers, having people lick your feet and whatnot, I am pretty normal by those standards." Grace denied it with an amused smile as her eyes watched Naruto's reaction. She was playing around and wanted to see what Naruto would feel about one of his partners being such a woman.
Just like Eve, her personality was geared heavily towards mischief especially since she was a digimon close to a Demon Lord.
She had fought against the Original BelleStarmon and that woman was quite playful, and made jokes. She never took her seriously while Beelzemon just sat on his bike and cleaned his gun.
Among the Demon Lords, he was the most neutral person anyone could meet. He just became dangerous when his greed flared up. Never deny him what he desired or nothing would be left you, the warning about him from the Association.
"And, I am proud of it. It is fun degrading people and treating them like animals." Eve wasn't some girl in love, so she had no desire to hide her desires.
Naruto ignored both of them.
"I will need your help tonight. I will have one on one session with all of you except Morrigan as Eve would join us." Naruto replied to Roberta's question.
He didn't feel right treating these girls in the same manner as Morrigan. She was a pervert while these three were not.
It was also their first time. It would be completely wrong of him to do such a thing.
He didn't want them to feel uncomfortable. He wanted them to feel like he cared for their emotions and wellbeing.
"Thank you for your time Master, I will be waiting in my room." Roberta bowed gracefully and excused herself.
"What about me?" Grace asked as she stood up and walked behind her master.
"You can watch when I am with Morrigan." Naruto answered as he looked at her, the woman reminded him of Ino.
Good looking, dressed up sexily with great confidence but not slutty, just a tease.
"You are not so bad, Master." Grace slapped his ass and whispered into his ears.
Well she wanted to slap his ass but Ruri caught her arm and gave her a glare.
Grace gave a chuckle and left the room.
"Did this disappoint you?" Naruto asked as he looked at Ruri and brushed her, giving her a kiss on the head.
"Nah, I always imagined sharing you with Hilda. The only thing I care about is being with you. I will pretty much outlive any of the other girls, so I will get you alone someday."
"You are a weird girl, Ruri."
"Better than being a depressed or angry girl."
"Well, you are not wrong." Naruto smiled as he walked to the sofa and placed her on it before turning to Hilda.
Looking at her sitting there calmly, Naruto was amazed at the situation. He had been in a position where many women came to him but it was the first time powerful women came to him and they were all lovely.
"Are you really fine with me, Hilda? You can choose a better partner, you know. I know that Sentry has shown an interest. He is a good man."
"You are right. You are bad man, master. You are playing with my maiden heart and now trying to shift me to someone else. What am I supposed to do with such a cruel master?" Hilda was being sarcastic with him now, as even he wasn't spared from it.
"Haha, you can only continue loving this cruel master then." Naruto picked up Hilda and showed a happy expression because it was the only appropriate expression.
They deserved the best and he would grant them their wishes. He would make them the happiest, this time he will work hard on his relationship and never let it cool down.
A.N. Hope you enjoyed
Oh my God, it took so long to finish this. I wish I could write thousand words in ten minutes, life would be so much easier and fun.
I didn't think I would write so much. Never planned most of it, just wanted some normal interactions and this came out.
I really get annoyed when I have to give excuses for the canon setting. It is the one of the worst things about using Naruto from canon. You have to make excuses for the dumb world setting and plot.
I don't know what the writers were smoking but the whole world setting and plot of Boruto makes Naruto worthless and the same goes for Sasuke since he also wanted to change the world.
There is actually zero reason for that in canon.
The writers are just too lazy to make a proper conflict and are too scared to kill the important characters.
The plot in Boruto makes Konoha look worse than Konoha under third Hokage. I am serious. Bandits attacked Konoha and stole things under Naruto's nose.
People almost actually revolted against him.
Some little Kids calling themselves New Seven Swordsman thought that they were enough to wage war against Konoha.
The other villages actually threatened Konoha.
No criminal was afraid of Naruto, just Sasuke.
Boruto and the Fire Lord's son almost died in the Village at the hands of a criminal. Naruto never appeared, his team saved him.
There is no sign of Naruto keeping his promise with Jiraiya or Pain. Literally forgotten and no mention of it.
The series isn't fun in the first place and even Naruto itself didn't make any sense but it never made a character feel worthless as Boruto has done.
I don't know how Naruto fans actually watch this but I just consider those guys twelve year olds that can't keep complex thoughts in their mind and just follow what the plot feeds them.
I mean only people that don't think for themselves, can eat up all this nonsense.
Even DBZ was smarter than this and let's be honest that's something.
