This article contains spoilers for the Boruto series.
Naruto Uzumaki is the 7th Hokage of Konoha. naruto series and fans know that of all the Kage, he is the most important. Fans have followed Naruto's journey from his childhood when he was hated by the majority of his village until he saved the Earth against threats like Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki until he reached the top and captured the hearts of everyone in the world. It goes without saying that Naruto's journey to the top was truly amazing, and along the way, he established himself as one of the greatest protagonists in fiction.
Boruto: Why Naruto Uzumaki is stronger than ever after returning with two blue vortices
Naruto Uzumaki returns stronger than ever in Boruto. Fans are looking forward to his return to Stroy.
However, in the sequel series boruto, Naruto Uzumaki is actually a shadow of his former self.. There are many decisions he has made that either don't make much sense or have affected his reputation in a negative way. in fact, Naruto's greatest failure as the Seventh Hokage, highlighted several times in the Boruto series, is the fact that he is unprepared for Otsutsuki's attack.This has been clear for quite some time.
Naruto Uzumaki is Konoha's most legendary Hokage
-
Naruto Uzumaki is more important than anything else
-
He is the strongest shinobi in history
Naruto Uzumaki is the most legendary Hokage that Konoha has ever produced. There is an enemy. Although the foundations of Konoha were laid by the first Hokage, who teamed up with Madara Uchiha to create a place where children would not die or be sent to war, future Hokages took it as a model and contributed in various ways. Naruto Uzumaki became the greatest Hokage after the Fourth Ninja War, saving the world from the threat of Kaguya Otsutsuki and helping defeat Akatsuki once and for all.
When Naruto became more mature and Kakashi's reign ended, he became the Seventh Hokage. At this point, he became a legend known around the world. His power was unmatched, and he stood as a symbol of hope and peace throughout the world. Not only that, but Naruto's greatest achievement was actually uniting the entire world. Before the Fourth Ninja War, there were quarrels between villages, and small wars led to larger ninja wars that swept across many regions of the world. After the Fourth Ninja War, the five villages live together in peace, and there is no longer any threat to each other. This is quite easily Naruto's greatest achievement and one that should not be overlooked at all.
Naruto is still the most influential Kage in Boruto.. However, this does not mean that he is infallible. Naruto has made many mistakes in the Boruto series, but the biggest and most inexplicable of them all is the fact that he is incredibly unprepared for the Otsutsuki invasion that has been looming over the heads of the shinobi race for quite some time.
Naruto's biggest failure was not being prepared for the Otsutsuki invasion
-
Naruto Uzumaki never trained the new generation to fight Otsutsuki
-
Konoha's Shinobi are underutilized.
The last of the Naruto series, Otsutsuki's threat was all too clear.. Kaguya appeared at the end of the series and gave Naruto and Sasuke their biggest battle yet. Not long after, Toneri Otsutsuki appeared. During the hiatus, Naruto had to defeat him again to save the world from imminent destruction once again. Shortly thereafter, Sasuke discovered traces of the Otsutsuki while exploring Kaguya's dimension, and fans now knew the threat was upon them.
This power is enormous. You should definitely surpass him. But the drawbacks are too great. You see, the fact that it takes away our lives is the key here. Since the chakras are connected, when the power from a small part of our life comes into contact, it also cuts into his life. That is the power of baryon mode. — Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
At this point in Boruto, Naruto Uzumaki had enough information about the Otsutsuki and knew that they posed a serious threat to the world. However, the five Kages, especially Naruto Uzumaki, did not do enough to counter their threat and protect the world. When Momoshiki was attacked, Naruto had to sacrifice himself to save the village. later, Naruto was able to defeat Momoshiki and Kinshiki with Sasuke Uchiha..
Naruto should have better prepared the world to face its greatest threat.
Once again, after dealing with the threat of Otsutsuki, Naruto was unable to build a solid foundation to face future threats from Otsutsuki. Considering their power, this is difficult to explain. The Otsutsuki race could easily destroy the world, and at this point, Naruto must gather the strongest ninja at his side and even the Five Kage to raise the next generation of Right and train them in a way that could be useful in the battle against the Otsutsuki.
Boruto: Naruto Uzumaki's new powers have already been revealed and right in front of fans.
Naruto Uzumaki has lost his strength. His new powers have already been revealed in Boruto.
For some strange reason, Naruto's world is unprepared to face the threat of Otsutsuki. This is why people like Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki have to shoulder such a huge burden even though they are still young.
Naruto has become weak even as a ninja
Another big mistake of Naruto Uzumaki that can never be underestimated is the fact that he weakened himself as a ninja. As he became an adult, Naruto Uzumaki reached his peak. While sitting in the Hokage's office, Naruto grew rusty, which weakened him on several occasions. Sasuke was fighting a bigger threat, while Naruto was sitting in his office doing paperwork. For the strongest ninja and best hope against Otsutsuki, giving him this job is probably the worst thing any village could do.
You're rusty, Naruto. —Kurama to Naruto Uzumaki
of course, Naruto still stands tall in important moments, such as his battle with Isshiki Otsutsuki or when his battle with Momoshiki becomes serious.. But that shouldn't have happened. The villagers' first line of defense against the big enemy should be their cage, not their paperwork. Naruto himself should be smart enough to know that he needs to keep his body active and fresh in anticipation of a much bigger threat than Isshiki.
Of course, the fact that Boruto is the main character also comes into play here. But from a narrative perspective, when writing a soap opera, fans know this: Naruto Uzumaki disappointed many people with his decisions as the Seventh Hokage.. Fans can only hope that after Naruto's return, he will become smarter than he was at the beginning of the series and learn from his mistakes. He must stay in tip-top shape and keep his skills sharper than ever as the threat of Otsutsuki looms over Earth.
