Good ep , but it seems like Shikadai Nara is so weak ,don't u think so , he didn't use much chakra he was not able to help someone from drowning , wasn't that weird ?! and what about this strange shadow !! does mitsuki have something with it ?!?! what did he mean by saying that he wanted to give them a push ?!? is it by saying that they must kill him , and finally is mitsuki bad or good < being a main character means that he's 70% good > but would it still like that ? or are we upping to the sec sasuke

The problem with Boruto Next G so far is that the kids are to strong. Naruto and co could only perform substitue jutsus at the end of their academy years but these kids know full fledged typing jutsus with a huge variety.


Their dads and moms are jonin and they have "peace", not like the naruto's era. So they may have spent more time with them. And it doesn't seem like naruto can do anything more than shadow clones and little Shikamaru shadow paralysis. The one that is OP is Mitsuki, but it's not so surprising, considering that he... You know ;)

What I'm really surprised is how they portray Shino vs how he was in both Narutos. He's changed 180°

that is so true. im crying inside


I had such a huge crush on her omg still do I guess, I mean she had always been a foodie lol we can see as much back then. Her metabolism is probably just weaker now, hence why she became fat

This ghost thing can really make the user very strong. Shino was no exception. All the three could do was run. But they came up with a good plan. They did good. Shino got to save Boruto and Mitsuki from drowning. It pains me to see Anko how she is now.

That's actually not the case. The ghost thing just seems to be amplifying people's rage. Some become more powerful when angry, while some like Shino did not. As Naruto said, good thing Shino wasn't himself otherwise Boruto and the others would have been so dead.

Damn, it's crazy to think how this could have turned out if Shino was actually himself and not possessed. I'm glad they threw that line in though, Shino to me has been a pretty underrated and underused character that didn't get much spotlight in the original series, so I'm glad they, at the very least, acknowledged just how strong he really is, even if we didn't get to actually see his strength. It was also nice to see the teamwork between Boruto, Shikadai, and Mitsuki.

This "ghost" amplifies raw power of people it possesses. Shino doesn't use brute strength to fight. He relies on strategy and thinking, while this "ghost" made him lose his mind. Basically, Shino is different type of fighter, he's like Shikamaru, Sai, Ino, etc. so this ghost actually made him weaker than he is supposed to be because he lost his intelligence and ability to plan/think properly. His techniques require thinking.

No, I think it's completely natural that Shikadai was not of much use here, as Shino's jutsu is a natural enemy of Shikadai's jutsu.
As far as swimming goes, he WAS exhausted of his chakra, and also is physically below-average like all the Naras.

I wouldn't say that Shino changed at all. He always tried to leave an impression of a cool guy, while in reality being a bit insecure. It's just that now it's more prominent now due to being both stressed and because his old behavior isn't as fitting for times of peace. I think he is one of those guys who is happiest on the battlefield or on the missions.

Intresting episode, finally some of the show potential has been spotlighted. Sadly though , we haven't seen any clues for where the show is going. Don't get me wrong, the show was intresting up to this point. But this episode shows how big of the threat main heroes encountred and how relatively strong they are comparing with academy students from the Naruto.So the episode leaves me confused ,is this an all new story with references to the original(which means condescending attitude to all of this "establishing character of the main " thing , or is this a sequel just like Shippuden was. Then I have my right to complain boring,unrealistic and self-condradictory series has become.

Pretty good episode, lots of fighting which we've all been waiting for. I'm surprised Shino didn't realize Mitsuki using the same arm extending jutsu that Orochimaru uses as well.

Ending was nice as well with Naruto and Shikamaru not blaming Shino.

Also that bug summon jutsu was really nice, I don't remember we ever saw that in original Naruto.

I can not think that Shikadai and Boruto are a copy of their fathers, they're just exactly the same. Shino didn't give a beat down to those three and they're still giving like clues in every episode, but it all fell like useless. I think that I'm not liking this show.

This was an alright episode and the action with Shino was meh at best plus we didn't really learn anything new about this nefarious plot involving the purple shadowy thing so that sucks! Mitsuki is for sure involved in some way or knows something that he's not speaking up about!

Boruto every episode seems more his father Naruto.

It was a nice episode, and they finally start some sort of investigation. Though the preview seems such a let down for me. I understand they can do whatever they want with their series, it doesn't have a clear path, but I'd like the story to advance faster. The next episode seems way too random for me.

That's not true though. Shikadai is nowhere as apathetic or lazy as Shikamaru and actually has shown more enthusiasm than his father with the tests in the ninja academy. Sure he resembles his father and has some of his mannerisms like using his father's phrase but that's where the similarity ends.

Nice episode.

So let me get this straight, unlike the others who were possessed before, Shino becoming possessed actually limited his ability to use his full power? Cause Naruto and Shikamaru both state that if Shino was going all out and in full control he would've wrecked Boruto and co.

To be honest, I couldn't accept how a Jounin like Shino could be outsmarted by a couple of kids even if they're pretty good. At his level he should've taken them down in seconds. The whole thing felt pretty contrived to me but this explanation at the end is good enough reason as to why the kids were able to take down Shino.

The teamwork was pretty cool and Mitsuki's abilities are great, I hope we see more of his abilities.
The drowning scene was a little on the melodramatic side but okay. XD


maybe it's because being possessed made him go all out in using his chakra instead of strategically preserving it

Mitsuki got the ninjutsu wind skills and even lightning jutsu.
On a side note...Anko is sure fat ugly!

My to have the presence possess Shino though lol
This will be a interesting fight
Guess it took advantage of Shino getting fed up of being not taken seriously by his students. Since it's boruto who does this the most guess who he is most angry at. Man the presence sure has made Shino a much darker person than before. Hmm's Mitsuki is able to use that kind of ability eh. Hmm of the original cast Shino is one of the few that have Jonin level abilities. The advantage that Shino's insects have is speed and as Boruto and the others are still in the middle of the forest getting out without being detected will be hard. Lol Anko really has got into eating in this era of peace lol. But its nice to see Iruka again though. Boruto and Shikadai's expressions as they ran in the tall grass though lol. Its nice that Boruto is with someone cautious like Shikadai though else he will get into more trouble lol. Don't speak of someone when you are running from them lol. Literally running from a tidal wave of insects lol. Hmm so water can act as a shield against the insects eh. But only if there aren't any paths on the flanks that they can use. I wonder is Mitsuki one of the causes of the presence in the village though. He seems to be at least observing Boruto's performance rather than helping him. Hmm i wonder is it because of Hyuga clan's eye abilities. If it is then Hinata and her clan mates should also be able to see the presence as well. Seems that Shikadai also suspects that Mistsuki knows more than he's telling.

Mitsuki does seem to be rather bloodthirsty doesn't he always going for the killing blow. Hmm as usual Shikadai's strategy does seem like it can work. Hmm a decoy strategy eh. Could work here actually. No one likes to be a decoy though i guess. Hmm using Mitsuki as a decoy is also a way for Shikadai to see what Mitsuki's abilities are eh. At this point I don't think either Boruto or Shikadai trust Mitsuki completely yet. If anything Boruto's tactics are too similar to what Naruto used which means that Shino knows this as well. Still being able to improvise is one of Boruto's strong points. Still have to say Shino is pretty impressive with his skills. Hmm taking advantage of Mitsuki's shadow arms eh smart. Lightning and water eh Mitsuki really is full of surprises. But man that display really used up all of Mitsuki's chakra though. Still it was nice that in the end Shino managed to save Boruto and Mitsuki though.

Pretty good episode actually as we got to see Shino's skill as a Ninja something that wasn't seen much even in Shippuden. The teamwork between Boruto, Shikadai and Mistuki was also pretty well done. Still at least Boruto has a lot more respect for Shino now. Mitsuki is still an enigma but it does seem that there's a story with him. He also seems to be learning from Boruto as well. It also looks like this threat is far more serious than initially thought though and that Naruto and the adults have noticed this as well. Given his skills Shino will be a great choice to investigate.

Agreed, he got beat by 3 first year students with not that much trouble.
They did say at the end when Shino wanted to apologize to Naruto that it was lucky it wasnt actually him since they would have stood no chance.

So it's safe to say the person controlling them or putting a spell on them isnt able to make full use of their strength.
