Boruto: Two Blue After a long wait, fans were certainly excited to read one of their favorite series again as Vortex finally released the first chapter this morning. Previously, Boruto took a break to prepare for the second part of the story.
Although it was finally confirmed that Boruto Part 2 would be a completely separate series, fans initially thought that Boruto: Naruto Next Generations would continue with chapter 81. A lot has changed in the ninja world in the three years since the start of the current arc. series.
Since Naruto Uzumaki, the world's savior, was no longer alive, Konoha was definitely unstable. It is predicted that Konoha will appoint a new Hokage to control the situation. Fans know that Shikamaru was appointed the eighth Hokage in chapter one of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex.
The death of the Seventh Hokage
After the main story ended, Naruto Uzumaki became the seventh Hokage of Konoha, and he is certainly the most recognizable character in the entire series, including Boruto. From the beginning of his ninja career, he wanted to become Hokage and he succeeded later in the series as he gained the respect of everyone around him.
During the 4th Great Ninja War, Naruto became a hero and prevented the destruction of the entire world. After the conflict, Kakashi took over as the village's Sixth Hokage and a few years later, Naruto Uzumaki did the same.
Naruto is depicted as Hokage during the Boruto era, and it doesn't seem like he particularly enjoys his life as that. However, supporters were able to witness Naruto realize his ambitions. The presence of the Otsutsuki Clan in the story marked a significant change.
Now, Naruto Uzumaki has to fight much more formidable enemies, and to make matters worse, the writers chose to strip him of his position so that Boruto Uzumaki can take center stage. heart. Kawaki took away Naruto's greatest source of power, Kurama, and sealed him into a completely different dimension.
In addition, Ada's use of her Omnipotence ability made the whole world believe that Kawaki was Naruto's biological son and that Boruto Uzumaki was the murderer of the Seventh Hokage. In the end, Boruto left the community because their lives had almost changed locations.
Konoha's 8th Hokage
The world was warned of Naruto Uzumaki's passing as soon as the Omnipotence took effect. The world believes that Naruto is dead and that Boruto Uzumaki killed him, despite the fact that he is still safe and alive inside the Daikokuten reality.
Maybe the world also sees Sasuke Sasuke as a traitor because he and Boruto managed to escape the town. Under normal circumstances, Sasuke would be appointed Hokage of the town; But when Sasuke also left the village, Konoha's situation changed very strangely. Since the Seventh Hokage was now dead, they felt an Eighth Hokage was needed.
There are many characters who can do this job effectively. Sakura Haruno is the ideal character for the position of 8th Hokage from the beginning. A long time ago, Tsunade, her mentor, excelled in this role.
Sakura has no reason not to become Hokage. Kakashi is definitely a replacement, even if Sakura isn't ready to take on that role just yet. Since Kakashi was still quite young, he could have served in this capacity for several years until someone younger—like Konohamaru—became worthy of the title. Ironically, Shikamaru was chosen by the village to be the 8th Hokage.
The reason why Shikamaru became the Eighth Hokage
Although Shikamaru's appointment as the Eighth Hokage did not have a clear explanation, there were several benefits to him holding this role. First, Konoha desperately needs Shikamaru, one of the village's sharpest residents.
His advice was initially ignored as Naruto had his own methods, even though he initially only held the position of advisor. He could protect the village better as Hokage. Indeed, even Asuma thought Shikamaru would make an excellent Hokage, and that's exactly what happened.
Shikamaru's exceptional balance as a ninja is another factor that may have led to his appointment as the Eighth Hokage. Although he is not the strongest, he has previously proven that enemies can be defeated without strength.
With all his power at hand, Shikamaru can solve problems much more effectively and perhaps that's why the creators made this choice. It's also possible that all the other candidates for Hokage are either disinterested or have other obligations.
For example, assuming the position of Hokage would require Sakura to give up her position as head of Konoha's medical team. Likewise, Kakashi has retired and may not want to take on the role of Hokage anymore.
Shikamaru was forced to take on the job of Eighth Hokage because Konohamaru seemed unprepared to serve in this capacity.
What does Naruto's future hold?
Fans believe that Naruto Uzumaki is still alive. Countless characters in the Naruto universe also know this secret. But to the residents of Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki was no longer alive. This raises an important issue for the future of the series.
Naruto Uzumaki will return at some point. He cannot be permanently imprisoned in the pocket dimension by Kawaki. Naruto Uzumaki will likely be released and allowed to return to the village after Boruto and Kawaki reach an agreement.
When that happens, supporters will face a strange dilemma: Shikamaru will replace Naruto in his ideal role. Naruto would no longer be able to take on this role with the Eighth Hokage. This implies that Naruto must become a ninja when he retires or take on the same role as Sasuke for the rest of his life.
While this may seem ineffective at first, Uzumaki Naruto's character can actually benefit from it. First, he will be allowed to spend more time with his family. His relationship with his family has been severely damaged by the responsibility of becoming Hokage.
Naruto will have more time to spend with his family when Shikamaru becomes Hokage. Additionally, this will help Naruto further develop his skills. Naruto was definitely depressed after spending so much time in the Hokage's office, and Kurama had commented on it.
Naruto had to go back to training on the battlefield. Given that he's no longer the superhero he once was, this is more true than ever. Perhaps appointing Shikamaru as the Eighth Hokage wasn't so terrible after all.
