The creative dyad behindBoruto : Two Blue Vortex , Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto , were recently ask for to the annual event held in France forNaruto ’s franchise , ' Nuit à Konoha ' , where they were question about the sequel and their mindsets as creators . During the interview , the manga artists not only deal the fact thatMasashi Kishimoto ’s initial ending forBorutochangedbut also hinted at the probable reason that inspired this rescript andwas holding back the potential of the series ; Boruto as friend .

Boruto ’s ninja agency is completely unlike from the one followed by his father . Boruto had the endowment to transcend , but he lacked the determination that fan roll in the hay in Naruto . In this way , the most bright thing about Boruto at the beginning of the story isthe future anticipated in the fanfare - forward , his confrontation with Kawaki , which showed how he exchange wholly as a character .

The interviews cite below have been translated by fans of the series , so there may be some inaccuracy .

Boruto and Koji looking determined, standing side by side. They are standing outside of one of Orochimaru’s former lairs.

Kashin Koji ’s newly revealed ability , Prescience , is the perfect explanation as to how Boruto became so powerful in such a short time .

Boruto’s Struggle To Regain His Life Makes Him a Better Protagonist

Boruto’s Character Was Designed To Represent Both Naruto and Sasuke.

The primary difference between Boruto and his founding father as protagonists is their background . Unlike Boruto , who maturate up in a caring family , it ’s easy for sports fan to settle for Naruto , who was alone , eject , and ignoring his lineage as the son of the Fourth Hokage . Naruto ’s determination to attain his aspiration led him to build his legend through effort , managing to commute his billet and become a fighter and the most influential Shinobi while also forming the family he yearn for . However , Boruto had n’t break through anything comparableto the personal cataclysm his father experienced and that helped influence his fiber .

How their situation line so deeply was addressed by Ikemoto when ask about Boruto ’s phylogenesis as a independent type in comparing with the development of his forefather , Naruto .

Naruto is a character who has nothing at the start and gains everything by the end . Boruto , on the other hand , is a character who possess everything from the start , lose it all , and then struggles to deplume through . So , Boruto resembles Sasuke in terms of ‘ passing ’ and Naruto in terms of ‘ clear ’ - Mikio Ikemoto .

Ikemoto ’s reply indicates thatBoruto ’s character at the beginning of the narrative was incomplete;he needed to turn a loss something to develop himself . This manner , Boruto is designed not as a written matter of his father , but rather as a miscellanea of Naruto and Sasuke . Boruto becomes someone who knows what it ’s like to have something worthful and then lose it like Sasuke , but who does n’t allow himself to be consume by darkness despite his post , and instead strain to change his biography and bring back his rival like Naruto .

As Boruto experiences this appendage , he becomes a better protagonist . This was excogitate in the reception for the first chapter ofBoruto : Two Blue Vortex , where the admirer comes back as a granulose , no - nonsense shinobi with great powers and unbreakable determination . rooter and critics were both positively impressed , particularly by the development of the protagonist .

Boruto Switching Positions With Kawaki Was Needed for Him To Reach His Potential

The Rivalry inBorutoIs Still a Main Point, Like It Was inNaruto’s Story.

It was clear-cut that Boruto needed a personal outcome that motivate him to grow and develop as a ninja . This was explain by Ikemoto in an interview with the Gallic manga publisher Kana , which was translated and station by the userYagami1211 on the Fanverse website , where the writer were expect about the reason behind Boruto becoming a renegade of Konoha .

It ’s not that Boruto is really a traitor . When his adventure get down , he had a situation diametric to that of Naruto in the past . He had admirer and a family , his master job being an absent sire . So , he did n’t have any particular reason to surpass himself . But since he is the main case , we had to find a way to make him act . For his part , Kawaki has a standardised situation to Naruto . I think that swapping the positions between Boruto and Kawaki would allow for a better progress of the story . It ’s an idea I had comparatively early on . - Mikio Ikemoto

The motivation of Naruto , not fighting for childlike recognition nor defeating the foe physically but ideologically , is one of the unspoiled aspects of the serial . So , Boruto being in a situation where he has to meliorate himself and become strong , not only to regain his identity but also to reach Kawaki , who he still considers his friend and a penis of his family , was necessary for him to achieve his potency . Also , Boruto ’s competition with Kawaki disagree fromNaruto and Sasukeas it has its own meaning ; this was discussed in the Nuit à Konoha ’s consultation .

Jujutsu Kaisen - Gojo and Geto

Masashi Kishimoto : In fact , Naruto and Sasuke are very similar . They are n’t that intelligent ; both have a go - getter side , and they ’ve both lost something of import . So , even if they ’re in opposition , these characters are likewise in their pith .

As for Boruto and Kawaki , however , their very existence is completely opposite . Boruto ’s a character who does n’t realize how favorable he is , despite having a lot from the start . Kawaki ’s a theatrical role who has lost everything and does n’t realize his own note value . Naruto and Sasuke , and Boruto and Kawaki are rivals in the narrative . But I opine their relationships are middling different in Naruto and Boruto .

Mikio Ikemoto : In the Naruto - Sasuke and Boruto - Kawaki family relationship , each one is a competitor to the other to aver their worth . However , their opposition is very different . In Naruto , the protagonist is constantly in opposition in which he expresses and carry what he feels to Sasuke . By doing this , he evolves as a protagonist .

On the other hand , in Boruto , it ’s Kawaki who ’s in the emplacement of someone who demo a strong attachment to the master character , Boruto . Boruto , having become a young man , is a character who ’s amply evolved at once from the get-go . He is insightful and with great undefendable - mindedness . Compared to Kawaki , the grandness of what he carries on his shoulders is different . It will be more like Kawaki point evolution as a character . Besides that , I reckon there are numerous contrasts between Naruto ’s scheme and that of Boruto .

Boruto germinate thanks to Kawaki and now understands his error and has to fight with more things at stake , as he had his village turn against him . This makes Boruto not only a more relatable and charismatic agonist but also someone who has motivation and knows the path he will follow .

So , even if he may have failed to gain the respect of the readers duringBoruto : Naruto Next Generations , the current outcome ofTwo Blue Vortex’sstory have cementedBoruto as a double-dyed protagonistwho honor the radical determination that his father demonstrate in the original serial .
