Boruto - Naruto The Movie

[ForteCross]

If I remember correctly I think he could only use those styles with that assisted machine right?

And I agree, that's what I posted in the other thread. Honestly I think the writers did a bad job, and I hope that canon material for Boruto is much different. It simply doesn't make any sense that Naruto would be so neglectful and kind of a jerk, given how he grew up. And even AFTER getting all those complaints, to STILL send a shadow clone to his daughter's birthday? I've never seen any Hokage be too busy to make an important event like that. Doesn't make any sense.

from what i remember the canon material is not different at all... naruto is busy and its unfair to blame him of neglect because he didnt had a father role model...

Too busy to ATTEND HIS DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY? No, that's b.s. and terrible writing. Naruto, who got stakes pinned in his f'ing arms to protect Hinata, wouldn't miss their daughter's birthday. And even if he had to, he wouldn't be so low as to try to send a shadow clone in its place.

Over the whole series, we got a good number of flashbacks from Naruto's childhood showing how lonely he was when every other kid was fetched by their parents, leaving Naruto alone. It's actually precisely because he didn't have a neglecting father role model that he shouldn't make such mistakes. If he had had a dad with 1001 excuses for being late, he might have ended up using the very same excuses himself, but that's not the case. His children do have a father, but he's purposefully making them feel like they don't have. Of all characters, Naruto should be the last one to do that. Thus, he was out of character and the writing was bad.

That's the point though. Naruto's dad wasn't around and Naruto fucking HATED his childhood. You would think he would go out of his way to make sure that didn't happen to his own kids.

And even if he had to, he wouldn't be so low as to try to send a shadow clone in its place.

I actually have no problem with that. From everything we've seen of Naruto's clones, they essentially ARE him, and everything they experience goes to into him when they vanish. Boruto being pissed cause it's a clone and not the original is just being a shitty stickler.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure why the clone at the party vanished. Naruto used to be able to maintain multiple sage fox clones over the distance of an entire war zone for most of a day. Not sure why he's not able to maintain a single normal clone across town at this point. He still has the fox, so it's not like he should have shitty chakra reserves.
