sasuke-diaries:

so according to the Boruto manga:

• the same bandits that got destroyed by 12 year olds were able to impersonate the Daimyo’s most trusted servant and kidnap his son, with the entire shinobi world being extremely lucky they just wanted money otherwise the Daimyo would probably be dead by now.
• a new group that I affectionately refer to as the “Akatsuki Lite” has been formed that was able to raise, in their own words, enough money to buy an entire country for a “vessel” of some sort. said vessel has now been lost by these idiots, and I don’t think I need to explain why something so expensive being let loose is going to end up killing a bunch of people.
• i’m also 99% sure that this “vessel” is Kawaki, because the Akatsuki Lite members have similar tattoos & stuff but he wasn’t present at the meeting. Kawaki is the gentleman that, according to the first chapter, will destroy the Leaf village in about 3 years (because that’s what’s trendy these days) and will “send Boruto to the place he sent the Hokage.” it also looks as though Boruto is the only person that can stop him because 100 Healings Sakura, Eight Gates Lee, and fucking Sasuke (?????) are all just absent for whatever reason or possibly dead/in the same place as Naruto.
• and from Sasuke’s own words, we know that “the crisis in this world” still isn’t over.

all of this has happened in 16 chapters or arguably 6 considering how about 10 of those chapters were just retelling events from the movie.

this isn’t even some alien nonsense that these guys understandably can’t control. these are ninja, participants of the shinobi system causing chaos in whatever way they can, on a way larger scale than some petty bandit, pretty much restarting the “Cycle of Hatred” Naruto swore he’d end by making some important friends. this is the Naruto world on the same bullshit they said wouldn’t happen ever again.

none of this even addresses what’s been going on in the Boruto anime because I honestly don’t watch it, but considering how they apparently had a 7/8 year old also try to destroy the village (yeah that was a thing for a while) I doubt things are any better over there.

all I’m trying to say is Boruto’s dad flopped and lied to Nagato and all of the other people he promised world peace to.
