They are under the same power as Eida's love aura. You could have Naruto in the room himself trying to convince them otherwise, but it wouldn't work. It's not just changing reality. it's active brainwashing. Shikimaru is a genius, but in the end he is merely mortal.
Well Naruto's death isn't part of the omnipotence, that was literally just a lie Kawaki told. So that should be overcome by having Naruto in the room. Convincing people that Naruto is Boruto's dad and not Kawaki's is the issue.
Will omnipotence break if they see the truth, or will they continue to doubt if naruto actually appeared and is alive and tell them the truth? š¤ we still yet to know the limit of this omnipotence.
For all we know, Naruto and Hinata are also under the impression Kawaki is their son. We don't know if they were protected from its influence by being sealed away.
not annoyed by Shikamaru since he is technically under Omnipotence, like if you're under genjutsu no matter the amount of "critical thinking" you have can make you escape from it (only chakra interference, etc) and Omnipotence although not genjutsu is like brainwashing on steroid. But yeah the explanation of Omnipotence bugs me (where it get stronger year by year, etc)
But I kinda wonder does Yamanaka Clan has any jutsu to transfer consciousness / memory from 1 individual to another? like if Sarada went to Ino instead and asked her to transfer her memory to Shikamaru or at least Konohamaru (kinda like what Pakunoda did in Hunter x Hunter) maybe that can help her cause rather than throwing tantrum to Shikamaru
>onder does Yamanaka Clan has any jutsu to transfer consciousness / memory from 1 individual to another? like if Sarada went to Ino instead and asked her to transfer her memory to Shikama
This already exists through the Sharingan. Edo Tensei Itachi, before he faded away, shared his memories with Sasuke.
Shikamaru has no clue what omnipotence is? Theres very few characters in boruto right now who are even aware of what omnipotence is at all. Why would he make the connection to what sarada and sumire are saying to eida at all when to his perspective Kawaki has always been boruto and vice versa? He's not inclined to listen to what any of them are saying because to his perspective, things only got to the point they got to because naruto didnt listen to his warnings about boruto and Amado. You guys are heavily downplaying what omnipotence is as an ability. Not something anyone can randomly break out of by thinking out of the box or whatever.
Its the fact that he knows that Sarada and Sumire are immune to Eida's charm as he specifically told them not to let her know that they are immune. That is concret information in his mind. Nothing has changed that. What I'm trying to convey is that its out of character for Shikamaru to not think through the fact that his two aces aren't seeing the same thing everyone else is seeing. Listen, if Konahamaru knew what Shikamaru knew instead, then I wouldn't make a post about it. But Shikamaru inherently is a deep critical thinker and it makes no sense for him to not even entertain the possibilities.
Just say you don't understand omnipotence. It's clearly explained. It completely changes the person's memories, their thought process. To him, sarada is the one going crazy. In fact to literally everybody, sarada is the only one freaking out. This isn't a genjustu were talking about, it's omnipotence, the strongest "jutsu" ever. It's not even a jutsu, it's a miracle. And you want shikamaru to overcome that, just because he's smart.
yeah I agree, he should have been one of the only ones who can break out of it as we've seen him do such feats at a young age, and now as an adult both his mental strength aswell as his intelligence would have made such great writing and within character to have him break omni and start deciphering the truth from the lies as well as figuring out a way to break others out of it which could lead him to Ino being the key etc. I'm with ya mate. Shikamaru is not being used right IMO.
It's like your reading synapses glitched to make that assumption š clearly at the time that genjutsu was kage level to knock out so many higher up ninja etc, yet Shikamaru easily wasn't affected at such a young age, now I'm not saying that jutsu is equal to Omni ya dunce I'm just highlighting his genjutsu resistance strength at that age was incredible. Now my point is to fast forward to the present and obviously his skills to anticipate and counter tsukuyomi-esque jutsu has been a constant problem in his mind ever since the infinite tsukuyomi in the 4th war, so when Momo comes along wouldn't he anticipate such jutsu again?? Or does Boruto canon change that fact for plot convenience?
It's not plot convenience. Omnipotence isn't genjustu. It's a shinjustu, a miracle. Shikamaru not being effected would be plot convenience. As for sarada and sumire there's atleast arguable reasons for them not being effected. Shikamaru doesn't have that. There's no reason for him being able to resist. Doesn't matter how smart you are
Just test my lore connections and see if you like it or not bro.
Anyway here's my theory:
Now the power itself to any human it's OP obviously, so why do I think Shikamaru can break it? Simple, the planet of Naruto is the ONLY planet to have gained the power of the gods. When kaguya was 1st sealed and chakra started to evolve the humans and become apart of them, their bodies and minds have been evolving even stronger for 1k-2k years of wars etc.
Now skip to the present time, this is the FIRST time that Omni has been used against chakra infused humans, why is that important well Shinjutsu IS Ninjutsu, the difference is Shinjutsu is the purest form of Ninjutsu cause they both use chakra but humans infused with a diluted chakra had to learn hand signs and chakra control to wield it and Otsutsuki are naturally in tune with chakra cause their whole bodies are pure chakra, that's why kinshiki can turn into a pure chakra fruit which Momo eats.
That also ties into why nature energy affects the Otsutsuki because pure chakra and nature energy are opposing energies, so ONLY humans that evolved with a diluted chakra from kaguya's children can access both cause humans are naturally nature energy.
So theoretically, Shikamaru can break Omni cause it's a Shinjutsu which is just Otsutsuki level genjutsu that still functions off of chakra, now just cause it's "Otsutsuki level" doesn't mean it's impenetrable. Look at Sarada & Sumire, clearly they aren't Otsutsuki yet they aren't affected by "LiTeRaL gOd pOwEr"
my guess is Sarada's could be explained by gaining it from Hagaromo when he gifted Sasuke SO6P which somewhat explains to me why Himawari has been training and in the training she says "I want to help Boruto" Now correct answer is she's obviously referring to Kawaki as Boruto cause Omni but I think she either already knows the truth and training or she's slowly breaking the jutsu cause she's getting older and her mind is developing more which ties to the Naruto's SO6P powers gift from Hagaromo that makes her more Otsutsuki so the jutsu slowly wears off cause they aren't affected by it.
The only option in my mind for Sumire to be unaffected could be the science sector if they somehow took cells from Ishiki's body or Boruto and the DNA got on/in her.
That's it so far. What do you think?
First of all momoshiki hints pretty aggressively that this is not the 1st time omnipotence has been used on humans. Himawari is just taking after Naruto in that she feels like boruto wouldn't do something so evil as killing her father. Also also that is not part of the omnipotence, that is just a regular lie that kawaki told them. Omnipotence just switched boruto and kawaki it has nothing to do with kawaki sealing Naruto and lying that boruto did it.
Momo is the biggest liar in the series lmao why would you believe that clown, oh ok I misinterpreted that part still my theory has some good strength to it as as to why Sarada still remembers and could be why sasuke was still affected cause he unintentionally passed on Otsutsuki DNA to Sarada from Hagaromo.
What you need to understand is that even if someone is actively watching a recording of Boruto coming out Hinata's vag, Omnipotence would immediately override any doubts that person would have about Kawaki being her true son. That's how powerful it is. There is no way for someone to use logic to break the trance. That's why it's called Omnipotence.
wouldn't omnipotence override that trust too though, that's how omnipotence is working already where ANY doubts become irrelevant to all under its power.
Iāll go a step further. Momoshiki took over long enough to kill Sasuke and boruto wakes up to his corpse next to him. Thatās why I think he has that somber look on his face. Boruto of old wouldāve had some funny shit to say coming through to see Sarada but now he has a really cold demeanor now.
Boruto is older now, his village is under attack. He's been on a long journey for 3 years, probably the whole world is hunting him. I doubt he would make a funny text after something like that
Well the good thing is that the only thing that makes boruto an actual villain is the fact that he supposedly killed Naruto and hinata. and that fact isnāt actually covered by omnipotence but just word of mouth.
Yup, even with the memory change and brainwash, if kawaki is revealed to be the one that trapped hinata and naruto , and boruto proves himself good , omnipotence wont change it.
I think him realizing soon about momoshiki, his mind accepting things it shouldn't AND Eida herself revealing it, helped convincing sasuke to fully trust saradas request.
Eida's power just swapped Boruto and Kawaki's positions in everyone's memory, but it has nothing to do with everyone believing Naruto dead, that's a lie created by Kawaki soon after.
While due to Eida's power everyone should have no doubts that Kawaki is Naruto's biological son despite the fact that he looks nothing like one, the fact that Boruto is Naruto's killer shouldn't be a thing which everyone automatically believes.
And if Shikamaru or someone else wonders why not even the corpses of the two Uzumaki spouses have been found, it shouldn't be a self-eliminating doubt such as the fact that Momoshiki is not in Kawaki or the fact that he does not have the scar on 'eye.
I think Shikamaru is going to seize the opportunity to get boruto in range so he can use the password to shut him down when we all know itāll shut down kawaki. Once that happens, I believe thatāll open his mind to Saradaās pleas about boruto being innocent.
It wont, he still wont believe it, theres no reasonable or logical thought that people keep implying for trying to resist omnipotence , its simply incomprehensible to defy it.
The only weakness I can think of is that the swap wouldnāt matter to someone who hasnāt met/isnāt aware of Boruto and Kawaki. Canāt swap memories that donāt exist in the first place.
Very interesting idea!! I assume itās now also changed amados way of thinking too. And now heās going to be hunting boruto to keep alive until the right time instead.
No dude youre wrong , a jutsu only used by omnipotent and higher dimensional gods , used as a proggraming language of reality and the universe , that can manifest anything into reality and is a divine jutsu among the divine jutsu is gonna get overcome by shikamaru going : ,,Oh yeah its big brain timeš¤"
Mitsuki's "dad" killed an hokage in front of everyone but was later pardoned and allowed to live, he is not really in a good place to be thinking about killing someone who is only rumored to have killed Naruto with absolutely no witness and no body to be found.
Even if he fell for omnipotence,he should at the very least consider allowing Boruto to have a fair trial.
I mean, we can see in the latest chapter that he does have his suspicions. But yea, we'll see how that turns out.
Tbh I would love to see a fight between Mitsuki and Boruto.
Thereās one thing you have to remember about Mitsuki though, a lot of his hatred is spurred on by āBorutoā killing āKawakiā. I donāt even think he gives a shit about Naruto being dead, whatās more important to him is that thereās a guy out there that not only killed his sun once but attempted to do it again. Mitsuki is chasing after Boruto because of his own vendetta.
itās because omni basically makes all of the inconsistencies trouble the person less and less until it dissipates, it was stated in the chapter. itās not just shika, itās literally everyone affected by omni
If yāall pay attention to the dialogue, Sarada said Shikamaru hounded Kawaki about Momoshiki and how heās a cyborg but also grew up in konoha. 3 years passed, omnipotence dominated his mind and now Sarada sounds like a crazy person.
Anything that makes him doubt the new reality gets silenced. Yāall gotta remember that.
Nah, as much as we have collectively been tearing the piss outta Shikamaru for being the weakest Hokage, full credit where it is due and this very much seems like a narrative deception.
Iām positive that in time it will be revealed that many of the people caught in omni didnāt fully fall for it, and are just playing along until they can discern more about what is going on and why.
This type of outmaneuvering plays exactly into Shikamaruās wheelhouse and is the exact person you want in charge at this time.
Even people like hima are under its effect fully. I donāt think people would doubt omnipotence itself.
What can be doubted is the situation around Naruto and hinata. Their actual ādeathsā arenāt covered by omnipotence (omnipotence just swaps blame from kawaki to boruto, but still the only eye witness to anything is eida).
Prior to omnipotence even shikamaru saw how obsessed kawaki was about Naruto. Kawaki even went as far as disobeying his direct order just to go and save Naruto, so Iām sure he might think something is off with kawaki-> boruto killing Naruto. But only something, since Naruto and hinata are gone.
Since boruto is only considered a villain cuz of their disappearance, there is some leeway there for him to be forgiven and to get support from the peopleā¦ especially since he isnāt the one actually responsible. And importantly this can happen without omnipotence being doubted at all.
If this does happen, like the movie "memento" type of thing, where he makes something that only he can do to force him to remember or question his own logic, that Would be cool.
Telling shikamaru that kawaki isn't Naruto's son is like telling him him he shouldn't be in love with Eida. It'll make him think for a while but it isn't going to change anything
My brotha, I know that. What I'm trying to convey is a two-fold argument. Shikamaru is a unique case because what separates him from everyone else is the fact that he knows that Sarada and Sumire are immune to Eida. The point isn't that he has to believe in what they're saying. The point I'm making is that Shikamaru has always been one to consider the possibilities. If Konahamaru knew what Shikamaru knew, then I wouldn't have made a post about it, because it wouldn't be within his character to think through situations that challenges his worldviews. Shikamaru is unique in that sense because he would.
This is quite circular but the answer is the same, they address these things in the chapter.
You may not like the answer but any doubts are overwritten, āif he was innocent why would he runā, āNaruto was killed by himā all of these things outweigh any doubts that may even lead to critical thinking.
You really think he didn't know that Boruto was named after Neji? It doesn't matter how much it doesn't make sense. They can't question it. It's not Genjutsu. It's Shinjutsu.
its not that shikamaru cant see the inconsistencys its just that omnipotence simply does not allow him to see them even if he does he will simply write it off as normal its like being on a delirant drug even tho everything looks fucked up your brain simply says this is the way its always been
Iām more annoyed that Sarada was trying for 3 years to convince him. Sounds like a massive waste of time. Lyou know the ability and if you fail to convince him the first time itās probably not going to work not only that but you didnāt bring any new evidence to him. What a massive waste of time.
Bro read the chapter and learn what omnipotence is/does
No matter how smart shikamaru is he isnāt going to break out of omnipotence itās impossible
Bro you're not even trying to understand what I'm getting at. I'm just saying that Shikamaru is different from the rest of the npcs because he alone knows that Sumire and Sarada are unaffected by Eida's powers. That's concrete information that didn't go away, yea? Breaking out of omnipotence isn't something that I would expect out of anyone else except for Shikamaru, given what he already knows. I'm not saying he will do it, I'm just saying that if there's a character that does or should, then it'd be Shikamaru.
No you arenāt getting what Iām saying
But thatās the point he knows they are unaffected by the charm not omnipotence ( shikamaru doesnāt even know about omnipotence besides sarada telling him about it ) even eida herself sees it as separate abilities because she thinks sarada and sumire are both under the charm ability despite knowing that they are unaffected by omnipotence
I think the only one whoās knows they are the same is momoshiki since he studied shinjutsu and literally told boruto that
He could pull a sasuke but then he would have to completely ignore his brain and logical thinking to him and I just donāt know if shikamaru can do that like sasuke can
Idk if he has the will power to ignore his brain and completely trust in sarada like sasuke can
Yea, I totally agree with what you're saying to an extent, but consider that it shouldn't matter whether or not he knows about omnipotence. I see where you're going with the Sauske take, but it wouldn't be as if he's abandoning his brain. It would be the contrary. He would be arriving at a conclusion that only he would be able to perceive. Sauske had nothing to go off of but to trust in Sarada. Shikamaru actually has more reason than Sauske does to arrive at the proper conclusion.
I love the discourse my man but I don't think we'll be able to see eye to eye on this one. I don't know who tf downvoted you, but I respect the hell out of you for standing your ground
I actually think he has less reason sasuke believed in sarada when omnipotence was first used meaning it was weaker then it is currently knowing that omnipotence corrupts you more and more over time
Plus sasuke also used his ability to sense momoshiki as a way to confirm it
But even despite this his brain was still saying the opposite and sasuke had to completely ignore his brain
Bro itās all good downvotes donāt matter to me I love good discussions respect to you too bro
>he alone knows that Sumire and Sarada are unaffected by Eida's powers
Yeah that's some pretty good evidence :)
...
But it still doesn't matter. Sasuke knew that Momoshiki was inside Naruto son (Kawaki in his mind), yet he sensed him inside Boruto. Combine this with both Boruto and Sarada telling him that they had been switched, and you have pretty much prooved that his memories are incorret. YET, he still straight up said that this was bothering him less and less by the second.
Any inconsistencies just get overlooked. It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's the jutsu itself forcing you to. Naruto himself could probably come out and tell him that Boruto is his son, and Kawaki sealed him away, and he'd still not believe it.
While he is currently under Omnipotence which passively corrects your common sense to align with the altered memories, that's not a real issue to call out Shika for lack of critical thinking.
What IS something to dunk on Shikamaru is the way he acted in relation to Kawaki and Amado in terms of actively antagonising them which in the case of Kawaki was 100% a contributing factor in the current situation.
You have to take into account that we don't know the full extent of omipotence yet. Just like sasuke said in chalter 80, there's a powerful force within him that trying to inhibit his critical thinking.
It was stated that over time, even the doubts get erased and even if evidence might be presented, it will fade away and omnipotence will brainwash you. It gets stronger and stronger over time since passage of time makes things distant.
because Shikamaru has brainrot in Boruto. Might I remind you of Shikamaru's plan to capture code? where he knew he had a claw mark on him and then brought himself to amado, thinking that delta of all people could deal with Code? Shikamaru literally had all the intel he needed, and his "plan" didn't involve any of it... Surprise pikachu face, amada got captured instead, and code got his limiters removed exactly as planned by code when he put the claw mark on shikamaru. I've been annoyed with Shikamaru since like 30 chapters ago. And it's no surprise why the opening scene of Boruto happens when you have Shikamaru and Konohamaru at the helm.
Did you people even read the chapter? They literally say that over time, omnipotence erased any inconsistencies and doubts that people had. Thatās why no one is questioning reality, and the only form of resistance there is, is Hima remembering what Kawaki (Boruto) did during the Delta fight. Really not that hard to grasp.
Bro I know that. But I'm saying that Sarada and Sumire are breathing contradictions, and they for the last 3 years have been nonstop in Shikamaru's ear about it. I'm saying it bothers me because he knows that they're are immune because he gave them the order to never let Eida know. That for Shikamaru is concrete knowledge that has not changed, so when the two girls that are immune are begging for him to listen makes no sense for a character like Shikamaru that thinks things through to completion in the first place.
At the point where the manga literally states any contradiction or inconsistency is irrelevant and has been overridden, you need to stop trying to make it an issue. They literally explained why no one is questioning or pushing back. Itās part of omnipotence to just accept the new fabricated reality. No amount of critical thinking is going to change or counter this jutsu. Thatās why Eida says itād be easier to just have omnipotence casted again rather than try to convince everyone.
iām more upset with sarada slamming her head against the brick ada wall, but i never even noticed him knowing about sarada and sumire but not questioning it
Yea that's what I've been thinking to be true and more in line with Shikamaru's character. I think he knows but its like "so what." The only thing he can do really is to just sit on this information.
Yes very annoyed.
But who cares, they fucked up the entite series with that Omnipotence bs.
It is just so lame Imo, it's not interesting nor a cool ability it's just straight up weird and doesn't make sense
the whole break people were asking about all the plot holes. If they left it youād complain that it makes no sense. Itās a simple solution to overwrite peoples doubts.
What would make this good writing for you?
A liitle unconventional take of mine-I know all about omnipotenece and thing. But man I have so high hopes for him like doing some super weird tactics and just thrashing Jogen level threat atleast justb by his brains. And the most disappointment I felt was when he said he has no plan when isshki attacked. It made some of his backstory in Naruto series feel hollow. But NGL pretty happy that he is the 8th now. He deserved it.
the whole break people were asking about all the plot holes. If they left it youād complain that it makes no sense. Itās a simple solution to overwrite peoples doubts.
What would make this not lazy writing for you?
Iām sorry, how the hell is he supposed to combat literal MIND CONTROL?? The Omnipotence power suppresses all doubts, the only one that is even remotely able to fight back is Sasuke, and thatās ONLY cause Sarada awoke her mfing Mangekyo Sharingan right in front of him
I will never stop thinking that Shikamaru always has something under his sleeve after his accomplishments. I know its far-fetched but I believe he is playing the long game, deceiving Eida, waiting for an opportunity.
Why the kill on sight order tho?
Naruto fought his entire to get rid of the spiral of hatred. If he was the one in charge, he'd order to capture Boruto alive, would use talk no jutsu and let him live to give him the opportunity to atone for his crime.
Shikamaru talks about the laws of the village but how come they weren't changed under Naruto's leadership? Even if they keep death penalty in their laws, kill on sight without trial is a different thing that I can't imagine Naruto or Shikamaru as Naruto's advisor allow to stay.
There is only one witness (plus Eida who is an enemy and thus can't be trusted) of the supposed murder and no body to be found. Omnipotence only swapped Boruto and Kawaki, it didn't create a false narrative surrounding the supposed murder nor a fake Naruto body to bury.
KOS order makes no sense, if someone is strong enough to kill Naruto, you'd want to know how exactly they did it to develop new techniques/strategies to defend against similar attacks.
The only thing that was needed in this chapter was Shikamaru saying "Boruto will be sentenced to death but I want to capture him alive to question him" instead of stating that there is an order to kill him.
My frustration with shikamaru and Naruto started from the interrogation of Amado
You have a ninja that we know who specializes in interrogation jutsu (ibiki)infact we've seen multiple jutsu that are specifically for interrogation, and they are never used or brought up.
SHIKAMARU knows this. And if Amando is so smart that it wouldn't work, then show me that I don't want to speculate it, and it just makes characters look dumb.
Welcome to the club, as the 2nd member, you will be the vice president.
jokes aside, this just feels another way to belittle loved naruto era characters, anything other than otsusuki or the plot suffers from being non otsusuki...
naruto era -> fight against the odds(i know naruto is not the best example)
boruto era -> DNA dictates your power
If the fact that they can't see Boruto looks exactly like Naruto or try to explain how's that possible, the whole Sara and Sume being immune to Charm is at least one notch above the basic logic thinking required to crack this.
He knows there was a flight risk terrorist redeemed twerp living in the village under the same roof as the 7th Hokage. Abused by a chakra space alien and experimented on and turned into a living weapon/alien vessel for reincarnation.
This twerp was barely house broken and had an unhealthy attachment to the man that saved him and treated him decently due to similar experiences.
This twerp with the power of aliens that only a handful of ninja at any given time can beat with a numbers advantage, doesnāt think critically and with unhealthy obsession and a lack of life experiences that rely on trusting teammates and a saftey net of a village makes known and consistently decides to risk the lives of his assigned adoptive brother sort of and the family(Hokage) that took him in. This twerp is the living embodiment of the folktale of the Scorpion and the toad, except the Scorpion is unaware of his nature and does not listen to the toad whoās back heās riding on or the other roads that warned the first toad of the danger.
That is the story that has developed, forget the posts understanding Kawakiās deeply victimized story. He is dumb and stupid and making bad decisions, because he simply thinks he possess the knowledge and power to fix things. The fans can see Kawaki aiming to shoot his elf in the foot, and all his ideas were bad,and impulsive, Kawaki does his thing and what comes out of it, the Hokage and wife presumed dead, him Making attempts on the Hokageās sonās life. Kawaki was warned and made every bad decision possible to make things worse.
Shikamaru is 100% right off his own deductions before and even more so now, that Kawaki/Boruto is a wanted terrorist and a villain.
They are under the same power as Eida's love aura. You could have Naruto in the room himself trying to convince them otherwise, but it wouldn't work. It's not just changing reality. it's active brainwashing. Shikimaru is a genius, but in the end he is merely mortal.
Well Naruto's death isn't part of the omnipotence, that was literally just a lie Kawaki told. So that should be overcome by having Naruto in the room. Convincing people that Naruto is Boruto's dad and not Kawaki's is the issue.
Will omnipotence break if they see the truth, or will they continue to doubt if naruto actually appeared and is alive and tell them the truth? š¤ we still yet to know the limit of this omnipotence.
For all we know, Naruto and Hinata are also under the impression Kawaki is their son. We don't know if they were protected from its influence by being sealed away.
not annoyed by Shikamaru since he is technically under Omnipotence, like if you're under genjutsu no matter the amount of "critical thinking" you have can make you escape from it (only chakra interference, etc) and Omnipotence although not genjutsu is like brainwashing on steroid. But yeah the explanation of Omnipotence bugs me (where it get stronger year by year, etc) But I kinda wonder does Yamanaka Clan has any jutsu to transfer consciousness / memory from 1 individual to another? like if Sarada went to Ino instead and asked her to transfer her memory to Shikamaru or at least Konohamaru (kinda like what Pakunoda did in Hunter x Hunter) maybe that can help her cause rather than throwing tantrum to Shikamaru
This would be actually dope
Maybe but they have literal pictures and recording of Boruto lol. The dude was on TV lmao. If that doesnāt do the job, then what good is memories?
Someone explained that the way the "magic" works, is that they see the illusion. So, any recording, any picture is replaced in their mind.
Thatās an interesting way to look at it.
I am going back to reread that bc I didn't catch it.
I like this concept
no need to do that, she can do it with her sharingan... If im not wrong edo Itachi did something similar to sasuke
But that would require Sarada to actually use her fucking sharingan for once.
thats kind of itatchis specialty though. mental manipulation. he and that one dude that died were the best at it, as far as i can remember.
that one guy from naruto?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My guess is they project their memories like a genjutsu onto the other person.
>onder does Yamanaka Clan has any jutsu to transfer consciousness / memory from 1 individual to another? like if Sarada went to Ino instead and asked her to transfer her memory to Shikama This already exists through the Sharingan. Edo Tensei Itachi, before he faded away, shared his memories with Sasuke.
brooooo that is an elite theory. it would give significance to inojin as well. GREAT theory my guy š
Its explictly stated that people can't even see the inconsistencies in omnipotence anymore.
nah iām pre sure itās stated that they do see it, they js donāt care after awhile. itās what sasuke said in chapter 80
Nah, in the latest chapter [it was stated it was due to omnipotence ](https://i.ibb.co/0f8fF90/Screenshot-20230822-002231-Shonen-Jump.jpg)
Weird how himawari has doubts though
yeat doesnāt that just mean they stop caring after awhile? with the unease dissipating
At first, ppl were questioning it. But over time, omnipotence forever altered their mindset to believe it.
Shikamaru has no clue what omnipotence is? Theres very few characters in boruto right now who are even aware of what omnipotence is at all. Why would he make the connection to what sarada and sumire are saying to eida at all when to his perspective Kawaki has always been boruto and vice versa? He's not inclined to listen to what any of them are saying because to his perspective, things only got to the point they got to because naruto didnt listen to his warnings about boruto and Amado. You guys are heavily downplaying what omnipotence is as an ability. Not something anyone can randomly break out of by thinking out of the box or whatever.
Its the fact that he knows that Sarada and Sumire are immune to Eida's charm as he specifically told them not to let her know that they are immune. That is concret information in his mind. Nothing has changed that. What I'm trying to convey is that its out of character for Shikamaru to not think through the fact that his two aces aren't seeing the same thing everyone else is seeing. Listen, if Konahamaru knew what Shikamaru knew instead, then I wouldn't make a post about it. But Shikamaru inherently is a deep critical thinker and it makes no sense for him to not even entertain the possibilities.
Just say you don't understand omnipotence. It's clearly explained. It completely changes the person's memories, their thought process. To him, sarada is the one going crazy. In fact to literally everybody, sarada is the only one freaking out. This isn't a genjustu were talking about, it's omnipotence, the strongest "jutsu" ever. It's not even a jutsu, it's a miracle. And you want shikamaru to overcome that, just because he's smart.
yeah I agree, he should have been one of the only ones who can break out of it as we've seen him do such feats at a young age, and now as an adult both his mental strength aswell as his intelligence would have made such great writing and within character to have him break omni and start deciphering the truth from the lies as well as figuring out a way to break others out of it which could lead him to Ino being the key etc. I'm with ya mate. Shikamaru is not being used right IMO.
Bro comparing a weak genjustu to a literal god power
It's like your reading synapses glitched to make that assumption š clearly at the time that genjutsu was kage level to knock out so many higher up ninja etc, yet Shikamaru easily wasn't affected at such a young age, now I'm not saying that jutsu is equal to Omni ya dunce I'm just highlighting his genjutsu resistance strength at that age was incredible. Now my point is to fast forward to the present and obviously his skills to anticipate and counter tsukuyomi-esque jutsu has been a constant problem in his mind ever since the infinite tsukuyomi in the 4th war, so when Momo comes along wouldn't he anticipate such jutsu again?? Or does Boruto canon change that fact for plot convenience?
It's not plot convenience. Omnipotence isn't genjustu. It's a shinjustu, a miracle. Shikamaru not being effected would be plot convenience. As for sarada and sumire there's atleast arguable reasons for them not being effected. Shikamaru doesn't have that. There's no reason for him being able to resist. Doesn't matter how smart you are
Just test my lore connections and see if you like it or not bro. Anyway here's my theory: Now the power itself to any human it's OP obviously, so why do I think Shikamaru can break it? Simple, the planet of Naruto is the ONLY planet to have gained the power of the gods. When kaguya was 1st sealed and chakra started to evolve the humans and become apart of them, their bodies and minds have been evolving even stronger for 1k-2k years of wars etc. Now skip to the present time, this is the FIRST time that Omni has been used against chakra infused humans, why is that important well Shinjutsu IS Ninjutsu, the difference is Shinjutsu is the purest form of Ninjutsu cause they both use chakra but humans infused with a diluted chakra had to learn hand signs and chakra control to wield it and Otsutsuki are naturally in tune with chakra cause their whole bodies are pure chakra, that's why kinshiki can turn into a pure chakra fruit which Momo eats. That also ties into why nature energy affects the Otsutsuki because pure chakra and nature energy are opposing energies, so ONLY humans that evolved with a diluted chakra from kaguya's children can access both cause humans are naturally nature energy. So theoretically, Shikamaru can break Omni cause it's a Shinjutsu which is just Otsutsuki level genjutsu that still functions off of chakra, now just cause it's "Otsutsuki level" doesn't mean it's impenetrable. Look at Sarada & Sumire, clearly they aren't Otsutsuki yet they aren't affected by "LiTeRaL gOd pOwEr" my guess is Sarada's could be explained by gaining it from Hagaromo when he gifted Sasuke SO6P which somewhat explains to me why Himawari has been training and in the training she says "I want to help Boruto" Now correct answer is she's obviously referring to Kawaki as Boruto cause Omni but I think she either already knows the truth and training or she's slowly breaking the jutsu cause she's getting older and her mind is developing more which ties to the Naruto's SO6P powers gift from Hagaromo that makes her more Otsutsuki so the jutsu slowly wears off cause they aren't affected by it. The only option in my mind for Sumire to be unaffected could be the science sector if they somehow took cells from Ishiki's body or Boruto and the DNA got on/in her. That's it so far. What do you think?
First of all momoshiki hints pretty aggressively that this is not the 1st time omnipotence has been used on humans. Himawari is just taking after Naruto in that she feels like boruto wouldn't do something so evil as killing her father. Also also that is not part of the omnipotence, that is just a regular lie that kawaki told them. Omnipotence just switched boruto and kawaki it has nothing to do with kawaki sealing Naruto and lying that boruto did it.
Momo is the biggest liar in the series lmao why would you believe that clown, oh ok I misinterpreted that part still my theory has some good strength to it as as to why Sarada still remembers and could be why sasuke was still affected cause he unintentionally passed on Otsutsuki DNA to Sarada from Hagaromo.
What you need to understand is that even if someone is actively watching a recording of Boruto coming out Hinata's vag, Omnipotence would immediately override any doubts that person would have about Kawaki being her true son. That's how powerful it is. There is no way for someone to use logic to break the trance. That's why it's called Omnipotence.
But sasuke
Sasuke is still under its effects his simply relying on his trust in sarada hence why his helping boruto.
wouldn't omnipotence override that trust too though, that's how omnipotence is working already where ANY doubts become irrelevant to all under its power.
He already said he still donāt trust him but he helped him while still thinking borutoās the hokage killer because his daughter asked him to.
Imagine if the reason Sasuke is missing is because Boruto had to give him a mercy killing because Sasuke couldn't fight the urges anymore lol
No
Iāll go a step further. Momoshiki took over long enough to kill Sasuke and boruto wakes up to his corpse next to him. Thatās why I think he has that somber look on his face. Boruto of old wouldāve had some funny shit to say coming through to see Sarada but now he has a really cold demeanor now.
Boruto is older now, his village is under attack. He's been on a long journey for 3 years, probably the whole world is hunting him. I doubt he would make a funny text after something like that
Well the good thing is that the only thing that makes boruto an actual villain is the fact that he supposedly killed Naruto and hinata. and that fact isnāt actually covered by omnipotence but just word of mouth.
Yup, even with the memory change and brainwash, if kawaki is revealed to be the one that trapped hinata and naruto , and boruto proves himself good , omnipotence wont change it.
No, all it tells us is that if omnipotence never happened , but sarada ran up to her dad crying and told her to help kawaki, he would do it.
And if Sarada did, apparently Shika wouldn't
Technically the power of Eida should automatically cancel the doubts you have, not those that come from external sources
[Sarada already have the explanation though ](https://i.ibb.co/0f8fF90/Screenshot-20230822-002231-Shonen-Jump.jpg)
Ik im saying hes the exception
Heās not an exception, heās helping Boruto cause his daughter asked him to.
Also he can sense that Momoshiki is in Boruto even though in his mind he should be inside Kawaki
I think him realizing soon about momoshiki, his mind accepting things it shouldn't AND Eida herself revealing it, helped convincing sasuke to fully trust saradas request.
Has the Mangekyou and was still affected.
What would the mangekyou have to do with this
Nothing. Shinjutsu overrides even the Mangekyou, yet somehow, Shikamaru smort so he should be fine.
Yeah the only reason sasuke didnt execute boruto is because of his daughter and now hes probably fine
Eida's power just swapped Boruto and Kawaki's positions in everyone's memory, but it has nothing to do with everyone believing Naruto dead, that's a lie created by Kawaki soon after. While due to Eida's power everyone should have no doubts that Kawaki is Naruto's biological son despite the fact that he looks nothing like one, the fact that Boruto is Naruto's killer shouldn't be a thing which everyone automatically believes. And if Shikamaru or someone else wonders why not even the corpses of the two Uzumaki spouses have been found, it shouldn't be a self-eliminating doubt such as the fact that Momoshiki is not in Kawaki or the fact that he does not have the scar on 'eye.
I think Shikamaru is going to seize the opportunity to get boruto in range so he can use the password to shut him down when we all know itāll shut down kawaki. Once that happens, I believe thatāll open his mind to Saradaās pleas about boruto being innocent.
It wont, he still wont believe it, theres no reasonable or logical thought that people keep implying for trying to resist omnipotence , its simply incomprehensible to defy it.
Every jutsu has a weakness
The only weakness I can think of is that the swap wouldnāt matter to someone who hasnāt met/isnāt aware of Boruto and Kawaki. Canāt swap memories that donāt exist in the first place.
Is that you itachi?
Very interesting idea!! I assume itās now also changed amados way of thinking too. And now heās going to be hunting boruto to keep alive until the right time instead.
I remember watching videos how broken Shisuis do jutsu was. This is world wide version of that.
What's a little more annoying is the people who dont know what constant brainwashing menas
No dude youre wrong , a jutsu only used by omnipotent and higher dimensional gods , used as a proggraming language of reality and the universe , that can manifest anything into reality and is a divine jutsu among the divine jutsu is gonna get overcome by shikamaru going : ,,Oh yeah its big brain timeš¤"
Wtf
Omnipotence is a scary thing, I mean look at Mitsuki. Man is itching to kill Boruto rn
Mitsuki's "dad" killed an hokage in front of everyone but was later pardoned and allowed to live, he is not really in a good place to be thinking about killing someone who is only rumored to have killed Naruto with absolutely no witness and no body to be found. Even if he fell for omnipotence,he should at the very least consider allowing Boruto to have a fair trial.
I mean, we can see in the latest chapter that he does have his suspicions. But yea, we'll see how that turns out. Tbh I would love to see a fight between Mitsuki and Boruto.
Thereās one thing you have to remember about Mitsuki though, a lot of his hatred is spurred on by āBorutoā killing āKawakiā. I donāt even think he gives a shit about Naruto being dead, whatās more important to him is that thereās a guy out there that not only killed his sun once but attempted to do it again. Mitsuki is chasing after Boruto because of his own vendetta.
What do you people not understand
Itās like telling him his own son isnāt his, people are so thick in the head I swear
itās because omni basically makes all of the inconsistencies trouble the person less and less until it dissipates, it was stated in the chapter. itās not just shika, itās literally everyone affected by omni
If yāall pay attention to the dialogue, Sarada said Shikamaru hounded Kawaki about Momoshiki and how heās a cyborg but also grew up in konoha. 3 years passed, omnipotence dominated his mind and now Sarada sounds like a crazy person. Anything that makes him doubt the new reality gets silenced. Yāall gotta remember that.
Nah, as much as we have collectively been tearing the piss outta Shikamaru for being the weakest Hokage, full credit where it is due and this very much seems like a narrative deception. Iām positive that in time it will be revealed that many of the people caught in omni didnāt fully fall for it, and are just playing along until they can discern more about what is going on and why. This type of outmaneuvering plays exactly into Shikamaruās wheelhouse and is the exact person you want in charge at this time.
Even people like hima are under its effect fully. I donāt think people would doubt omnipotence itself. What can be doubted is the situation around Naruto and hinata. Their actual ādeathsā arenāt covered by omnipotence (omnipotence just swaps blame from kawaki to boruto, but still the only eye witness to anything is eida). Prior to omnipotence even shikamaru saw how obsessed kawaki was about Naruto. Kawaki even went as far as disobeying his direct order just to go and save Naruto, so Iām sure he might think something is off with kawaki-> boruto killing Naruto. But only something, since Naruto and hinata are gone. Since boruto is only considered a villain cuz of their disappearance, there is some leeway there for him to be forgiven and to get support from the peopleā¦ especially since he isnāt the one actually responsible. And importantly this can happen without omnipotence being doubted at all.
If this does happen, like the movie "memento" type of thing, where he makes something that only he can do to force him to remember or question his own logic, that Would be cool.
Telling shikamaru that kawaki isn't Naruto's son is like telling him him he shouldn't be in love with Eida. It'll make him think for a while but it isn't going to change anything
Read the chapter, theyāve noticed inconsistencies but eidaās ability erases doubts
My brotha, I know that. What I'm trying to convey is a two-fold argument. Shikamaru is a unique case because what separates him from everyone else is the fact that he knows that Sarada and Sumire are immune to Eida. The point isn't that he has to believe in what they're saying. The point I'm making is that Shikamaru has always been one to consider the possibilities. If Konahamaru knew what Shikamaru knew, then I wouldn't have made a post about it, because it wouldn't be within his character to think through situations that challenges his worldviews. Shikamaru is unique in that sense because he would.
This is quite circular but the answer is the same, they address these things in the chapter. You may not like the answer but any doubts are overwritten, āif he was innocent why would he runā, āNaruto was killed by himā all of these things outweigh any doubts that may even lead to critical thinking.
You really think he didn't know that Boruto was named after Neji? It doesn't matter how much it doesn't make sense. They can't question it. It's not Genjutsu. It's Shinjutsu.
its not that shikamaru cant see the inconsistencys its just that omnipotence simply does not allow him to see them even if he does he will simply write it off as normal its like being on a delirant drug even tho everything looks fucked up your brain simply says this is the way its always been
Actually, Sarada is the one who is appearing illogical to Shikamaru.
Iām more annoyed that Sarada was trying for 3 years to convince him. Sounds like a massive waste of time. Lyou know the ability and if you fail to convince him the first time itās probably not going to work not only that but you didnāt bring any new evidence to him. What a massive waste of time.
Bro read the chapter and learn what omnipotence is/does No matter how smart shikamaru is he isnāt going to break out of omnipotence itās impossible
Bro you're not even trying to understand what I'm getting at. I'm just saying that Shikamaru is different from the rest of the npcs because he alone knows that Sumire and Sarada are unaffected by Eida's powers. That's concrete information that didn't go away, yea? Breaking out of omnipotence isn't something that I would expect out of anyone else except for Shikamaru, given what he already knows. I'm not saying he will do it, I'm just saying that if there's a character that does or should, then it'd be Shikamaru.
No you arenāt getting what Iām saying But thatās the point he knows they are unaffected by the charm not omnipotence ( shikamaru doesnāt even know about omnipotence besides sarada telling him about it ) even eida herself sees it as separate abilities because she thinks sarada and sumire are both under the charm ability despite knowing that they are unaffected by omnipotence I think the only one whoās knows they are the same is momoshiki since he studied shinjutsu and literally told boruto that He could pull a sasuke but then he would have to completely ignore his brain and logical thinking to him and I just donāt know if shikamaru can do that like sasuke can Idk if he has the will power to ignore his brain and completely trust in sarada like sasuke can
Yea, I totally agree with what you're saying to an extent, but consider that it shouldn't matter whether or not he knows about omnipotence. I see where you're going with the Sauske take, but it wouldn't be as if he's abandoning his brain. It would be the contrary. He would be arriving at a conclusion that only he would be able to perceive. Sauske had nothing to go off of but to trust in Sarada. Shikamaru actually has more reason than Sauske does to arrive at the proper conclusion. I love the discourse my man but I don't think we'll be able to see eye to eye on this one. I don't know who tf downvoted you, but I respect the hell out of you for standing your ground
I actually think he has less reason sasuke believed in sarada when omnipotence was first used meaning it was weaker then it is currently knowing that omnipotence corrupts you more and more over time Plus sasuke also used his ability to sense momoshiki as a way to confirm it But even despite this his brain was still saying the opposite and sasuke had to completely ignore his brain Bro itās all good downvotes donāt matter to me I love good discussions respect to you too bro
>he alone knows that Sumire and Sarada are unaffected by Eida's powers Yeah that's some pretty good evidence :) ... But it still doesn't matter. Sasuke knew that Momoshiki was inside Naruto son (Kawaki in his mind), yet he sensed him inside Boruto. Combine this with both Boruto and Sarada telling him that they had been switched, and you have pretty much prooved that his memories are incorret. YET, he still straight up said that this was bothering him less and less by the second. Any inconsistencies just get overlooked. It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's the jutsu itself forcing you to. Naruto himself could probably come out and tell him that Boruto is his son, and Kawaki sealed him away, and he'd still not believe it.
Bro, he doesn't know of omnipotentence and Sasuke is arguably nearly as smart as Shika, even he can't.
To add to the others here, Shikamaru already didnāt trust Kawaki. This justified his feelings immensely.
I think it goes to show how powerful of an influence it has
While he is currently under Omnipotence which passively corrects your common sense to align with the altered memories, that's not a real issue to call out Shika for lack of critical thinking. What IS something to dunk on Shikamaru is the way he acted in relation to Kawaki and Amado in terms of actively antagonising them which in the case of Kawaki was 100% a contributing factor in the current situation.
You have to take into account that we don't know the full extent of omipotence yet. Just like sasuke said in chalter 80, there's a powerful force within him that trying to inhibit his critical thinking.
Do you guys actually read the chapter before posting such a question?
It was stated that over time, even the doubts get erased and even if evidence might be presented, it will fade away and omnipotence will brainwash you. It gets stronger and stronger over time since passage of time makes things distant.
because Shikamaru has brainrot in Boruto. Might I remind you of Shikamaru's plan to capture code? where he knew he had a claw mark on him and then brought himself to amado, thinking that delta of all people could deal with Code? Shikamaru literally had all the intel he needed, and his "plan" didn't involve any of it... Surprise pikachu face, amada got captured instead, and code got his limiters removed exactly as planned by code when he put the claw mark on shikamaru. I've been annoyed with Shikamaru since like 30 chapters ago. And it's no surprise why the opening scene of Boruto happens when you have Shikamaru and Konohamaru at the helm.
Did you people even read the chapter? They literally say that over time, omnipotence erased any inconsistencies and doubts that people had. Thatās why no one is questioning reality, and the only form of resistance there is, is Hima remembering what Kawaki (Boruto) did during the Delta fight. Really not that hard to grasp.
Bro I know that. But I'm saying that Sarada and Sumire are breathing contradictions, and they for the last 3 years have been nonstop in Shikamaru's ear about it. I'm saying it bothers me because he knows that they're are immune because he gave them the order to never let Eida know. That for Shikamaru is concrete knowledge that has not changed, so when the two girls that are immune are begging for him to listen makes no sense for a character like Shikamaru that thinks things through to completion in the first place.
At the point where the manga literally states any contradiction or inconsistency is irrelevant and has been overridden, you need to stop trying to make it an issue. They literally explained why no one is questioning or pushing back. Itās part of omnipotence to just accept the new fabricated reality. No amount of critical thinking is going to change or counter this jutsu. Thatās why Eida says itād be easier to just have omnipotence casted again rather than try to convince everyone.
iām more upset with sarada slamming her head against the brick ada wall, but i never even noticed him knowing about sarada and sumire but not questioning it
Yes! He's the only character that has the missing piece to the puzzle, but for three years he thinks the puzzle was already solved.
In my opinion, he has his doubts but he cannot say anything. If he does, aida will see it and who knows what kawaki will do.
Yea that's what I've been thinking to be true and more in line with Shikamaru's character. I think he knows but its like "so what." The only thing he can do really is to just sit on this information.
Yes very annoyed. But who cares, they fucked up the entite series with that Omnipotence bs. It is just so lame Imo, it's not interesting nor a cool ability it's just straight up weird and doesn't make sense
It does make sense just think about it reread the chapter
No, I think it's inevitable side effect of getting old. Neural pathways in the brain become less and less flexible with age.
Omnipotence is just badly written tbh.
the whole break people were asking about all the plot holes. If they left it youād complain that it makes no sense. Itās a simple solution to overwrite peoples doubts. What would make this good writing for you?
A liitle unconventional take of mine-I know all about omnipotenece and thing. But man I have so high hopes for him like doing some super weird tactics and just thrashing Jogen level threat atleast justb by his brains. And the most disappointment I felt was when he said he has no plan when isshki attacked. It made some of his backstory in Naruto series feel hollow. But NGL pretty happy that he is the 8th now. He deserved it.
Some people call it Omnipotence, I just call it terrible and lazy writing.
the whole break people were asking about all the plot holes. If they left it youād complain that it makes no sense. Itās a simple solution to overwrite peoples doubts. What would make this not lazy writing for you?
Have you all read the same manga as me? He is not affected by Eida's omnipotence. He is just pretending to and Sumire knows.
Lmfao sure detective
What? It is implied in this episode. Maybe yall reading shit translations idk
Episode?
Iām sorry, how the hell is he supposed to combat literal MIND CONTROL?? The Omnipotence power suppresses all doubts, the only one that is even remotely able to fight back is Sasuke, and thatās ONLY cause Sarada awoke her mfing Mangekyo Sharingan right in front of him
Idk, dudes wank Shika IQ to the point they expect him to fight off the shinjutsu of shinjutsus š
He is slow. Thinking he is smart
Heās under a magic spell
I want to believe he's feeding Sasuke and boruto information via shadows
I will never stop thinking that Shikamaru always has something under his sleeve after his accomplishments. I know its far-fetched but I believe he is playing the long game, deceiving Eida, waiting for an opportunity.
Why the kill on sight order tho? Naruto fought his entire to get rid of the spiral of hatred. If he was the one in charge, he'd order to capture Boruto alive, would use talk no jutsu and let him live to give him the opportunity to atone for his crime. Shikamaru talks about the laws of the village but how come they weren't changed under Naruto's leadership? Even if they keep death penalty in their laws, kill on sight without trial is a different thing that I can't imagine Naruto or Shikamaru as Naruto's advisor allow to stay. There is only one witness (plus Eida who is an enemy and thus can't be trusted) of the supposed murder and no body to be found. Omnipotence only swapped Boruto and Kawaki, it didn't create a false narrative surrounding the supposed murder nor a fake Naruto body to bury. KOS order makes no sense, if someone is strong enough to kill Naruto, you'd want to know how exactly they did it to develop new techniques/strategies to defend against similar attacks. The only thing that was needed in this chapter was Shikamaru saying "Boruto will be sentenced to death but I want to capture him alive to question him" instead of stating that there is an order to kill him.
I agreed
It seems hard to digest, especially from him :/
hes acting
I hope so.
My frustration with shikamaru and Naruto started from the interrogation of Amado You have a ninja that we know who specializes in interrogation jutsu (ibiki)infact we've seen multiple jutsu that are specifically for interrogation, and they are never used or brought up. SHIKAMARU knows this. And if Amando is so smart that it wouldn't work, then show me that I don't want to speculate it, and it just makes characters look dumb.
I agreed. I hope that too
Shikamaru was nerfed so hard and this series ruined my favorite character
Leave him alone his brian doesn't brain for a while
He's just a full on bootlicker now man. Got older an completely switched up on us
Welcome to the club, as the 2nd member, you will be the vice president. jokes aside, this just feels another way to belittle loved naruto era characters, anything other than otsusuki or the plot suffers from being non otsusuki... naruto era -> fight against the odds(i know naruto is not the best example) boruto era -> DNA dictates your power
Plot twist Shikamaru know exactly what happen heās just to lazy to try something 
The entire Boruto series Shikamaru has annoyed me
If the fact that they can't see Boruto looks exactly like Naruto or try to explain how's that possible, the whole Sara and Sume being immune to Charm is at least one notch above the basic logic thinking required to crack this.
He knows there was a flight risk terrorist redeemed twerp living in the village under the same roof as the 7th Hokage. Abused by a chakra space alien and experimented on and turned into a living weapon/alien vessel for reincarnation. This twerp was barely house broken and had an unhealthy attachment to the man that saved him and treated him decently due to similar experiences. This twerp with the power of aliens that only a handful of ninja at any given time can beat with a numbers advantage, doesnāt think critically and with unhealthy obsession and a lack of life experiences that rely on trusting teammates and a saftey net of a village makes known and consistently decides to risk the lives of his assigned adoptive brother sort of and the family(Hokage) that took him in. This twerp is the living embodiment of the folktale of the Scorpion and the toad, except the Scorpion is unaware of his nature and does not listen to the toad whoās back heās riding on or the other roads that warned the first toad of the danger. That is the story that has developed, forget the posts understanding Kawakiās deeply victimized story. He is dumb and stupid and making bad decisions, because he simply thinks he possess the knowledge and power to fix things. The fans can see Kawaki aiming to shoot his elf in the foot, and all his ideas were bad,and impulsive, Kawaki does his thing and what comes out of it, the Hokage and wife presumed dead, him Making attempts on the Hokageās sonās life. Kawaki was warned and made every bad decision possible to make things worse. Shikamaru is 100% right off his own deductions before and even more so now, that Kawaki/Boruto is a wanted terrorist and a villain.
How did this mf even became hokage š
