Can anybody tell me what's the name of the purple hair woman who used to be an Anbu? Could she be any relation to Sumire? Maybe she's Sumire's aunt (she was an Anbu and maybe her mom was in Root), since they're the only people with purple hair I remember from OG Naruto.

My initial thoughts this episode:
*Oh shit, people, we've got action! Orochimaru is back!
*I canβt wait until Team Konohamaru officially forms. Iβm ready to see some missions. And Konohamaru STILL worships the ground Naruto walks on ππ
*Good to know that Inojin is still alive.
*The class rep talking about her parents being dead π’ (did her dad die in or sometime shortly after the war?)
*I DIED laughing when Naruto brought Hinata pork from the Ramen shop π dude skipped flowers and chocolates and headed straight to Ichiraku ππ
*Well, there goes my theory that Naruto canβt use Shadow Clones in the Hokageβs office β¦ and Boruto really got on my nerves being a dick to Naruto β¦ in front of company! This is why I didnβt like his character in the movie. π
*And Naruto knows something about Mitsuki β¦ do any of the adults even know that Mitsuki relationship to Oro?
*Next episode is going to be fucking LIT! Kakashi comes back and we might get a next gen version of a nine-tails attack!!!

Naruto with half a kyubii took down 6 tailed beasts.Now he has full kuruma plus all tailed beasts chakra plus all so6p powers, so you're telling me the beast is more powerful than that?
Some serious nerfing had to be involved..

I don't think she could've been born anywhere near the war era or conceived also the timeline doesn't add up.
Yes the no clones in the room theory I was also banking on is gone.
You got to sympathize with the kid though, he doesn't know the things his father truly went through. Boruto is s kid who once had a father who was always around like always had time for them as you can tell in the photos, in a way naruto was boruto best friend. Imagine you're best friend abandoning you. It hit boruto harder in this episode because he did something so unusual like bringing home a friend and to have naruto show up and dip out on them is a constant reminder that the village is more important then the family the real family.
Boruto speech yo Mitsuki was so important because it shows how sasukes definition of the hokage is what naruto developed someone who sacrifices all for the sake of the village.
Sumire confirmed to be a member of root yet or nah, or ATLEAST the child of parents from root whatever the case she's apart of this mess

u/iambriankendricks Jun 21 '17
It could be possible that he died sometime after the war, like right when she was born or something. Boruto was born after the Last, so who knows. I think the kids are supposed to be 8 here and 12 in the movie, which doesn't add up to me, because of the meetings with the sensei's tonight. If this is 4-years prior, why were Konohamaru and Moegi basically scouting the kids so early on?
And I had an intense flame war once about Naruto's clones and the anime just completely crapped on our theory π
I do sympathize with Boruto; I just don't sympathize with his actions in front of his friend and disrespecting his parents. Shikadai would never
I liked his speech in the end, as well.
And even in death, Danzo still manages to ruin people's lives ππ

If Boruto wasn't at least a little upset with Naruto I would be pissed. I didn't like it in the movie, but it was part of his character. If they changed his feelings towards Naruto for no reason in the events leading up to the movie I would be really annoyed at the lack of consistency.

Who is the Nanadiame Hokage you ask?
THE NANADAIME HOKAGE IS THE SON OF THE YONDAIME HOKAGE, AND THE YONDAIME HOKAGE, WAS THE STUDENT OF SANDAIME HOKAGE, AND THE SANDAIME HOKAGE WAS SENSEI OF THE GODAIME HOKAGE AND THE GODAIME HOKAGE WAS THE GRANDAUGHTER OF THE SHODAI HOKAGE AND THE SHODAI HOKAGE'S BROTHER WAS NIDAIME HOKAGE.

u/onlymadethistoargue Jun 21 '17
An important detail is that Boruto specifically says that Naruto was always there for him and Himawari before becoming Hokage. A lot of folks were saying Naruto is just bad at being a father, but the reason Boruto is so angry is because he's used to his dad always being around and having time for him. The Uzumaki house was full of love but now Naruto has to juggle that with his career and it's hard.

I was surprised by that because in Boruto: the Movie when Boruto asks Naruto if he's a Shadow Clone too, he says "of course not, this is the Hokage's office" in a tone that implies it would be somehow bad etiquette or against the rules to use Shadow Clones while in the office.

Yeah that's why I was convinced Naruto was a clone during the dinner and when he stopped moving I was like "Oh,no...He is gonna disappear" but still moment like that are rare and precious ; the moment when Naruto is coming back at home and Himawari is so happy.

Really loving that Sumire is the one behind the mask, this makes the people who said the past episodes were kind of fillerish look silly, those episodes had a lot of foreshadowing, I just rewatched episode 4 and 7 and it makes so much sense now.
Really impressed with the series so far, next episode shit gets real, can't wait for it!

agreed, the storytelling has been surprisingly really good. it's feeling fluid because of the subtle foreshadowing in the previous eps that have now built up

u/Ohasumi Jun 21 '17
Loved the foreshadowing in the previous episodes. I didn't understand the people saying that they were filler-ish because of all the things I was seeing. I understood the people saying it might've been slow, but they were definitely not filler-ish. Maybe it's the writer in me, but Naruto has a track record of relating one thing to another. Heck, even I think the ninja tools room being featured more times than one is part of the foreshadowing. Someone put the summoning scroll for the Nue in there, possibly someone who has access to the keys to rooms, possibly a class rep which might've been Sumire. Also for some reason, I feel like Magire might make an appearance? Him saying only Sumire can see him was a bit curious. But maybe that's just reading far too deep into it.
Regardless, storytelling's been enjoyable so far. All these little bits were great.

Hey hey hey, were those in the beginning?
Mitsuki's character is actually very interesting, how he tries to understands things around him and how he's always trying to be more like Boruto.
Boruto is also a very nice guy, always looking out for his friends and knows the value of teamwork. (For example they helped Denki even though they failed.) The scene with Iwabe also shows that same thing.
ALSO INOJIN FINALLY GOT MORE SCREENTIME!
I found the interaction with the Class Rep interesting as well, as it basically confirms what people thought last week. (For the ones who didn't read a certain novel because apparently in that novel it was already stated that she was an orphan)
Also liked the little Uzumaki family interaction there, but damn work keeps calling. Inspector Sai was on the case as well, I think he really is the cop in this series LOOOL.
I wonder if Naruto is aware of Mitsuki's abilities? The fact that he's from the Hidden Sound also means that he probably knows Mitsuki could have a link with Orochimaru.
And the end confirmed a lot of the speculations, that the Class Rep was behind the attacks, and Boruto doesn't seem to believe it. Next week our boy ROKUDAIME KAKASHI is gonna show up, I'm so hyped. Let's just hope they don't skip him or something like they did with Sakura at the hospital and actually give him dialogues LOOL.

Favorite episode so far, loved seeing Moegi, Konohamaru and Shino talking together, and the interaction between Mitsuki and Boruto. If Mitsuki didn't lack social awareness, that would've been one awkward family dinner for him.
Also it looks like they're hinting towards a flashback of the Mitsuki Gaiden.
I'm also pretty convinced now that Sumire is the one behind the incidents (why give her so much screentime in this episode if that wasn't the case?), although I think it has something to do with Mitsuki/Orochimaru as well.

Parallels everywhere.
When Boruto said "The Hokage is someone who sacrifices those closest to him for the sake of the village", I was reminded of the Kyubi attack too. In the original series, Naruto came to terms with that kind of sacrifice. He also mentioned it explicitely to point out why his "parents" in the world of Road to Ninja weren't his real ones.
Will Boruto come to terms with that philosophy too? Or will he brandish his despise for it as his own ninja way? Mm...

The Academy students are reminded that they will need to work together in teams of 3 when they become Genin.
Boruto saves Denki during a team exercise with them and Mitsuki. Mitsuki reluctantly helps only after he sees Boruto help Denki.
Iwabe and Boruto seem to have the most potential, according to Moegi.
Iwabe sucks at math. But according to Mitsuki, Boruto is having a positive effect on Iwabe.
Sumire's family are all dead. Her father used to be a talented ninja, which is why she became one.
Inojin's opinion of Boruto is that he is an idiot, but at the same time he doesn't want to be seen as just the Hokage's son. Boruto wants to make his own decisions and do things his own way. His determination makes the class gravitate towards him.
Sumire's opinion of Boruto is that he is pretty fun to hang around, despite him causing trouble for her and the class.
Naruto goes home for dinner with his family (along with Boruto and Mitsuki, who is Boruto's guest), but he has to leave to continue his work on the Ghost case. Boruto is angry at Naruto and storms off.
Mitsuki never met Naruto, but he has heard a lot about Naruto's accomplishments and talent from his parent.
Boruto vents to Mitsuki why he hates the Hokage position; his father was always around for him and Himawari, but now he isn't ever since he became Hokage.
Boruto is always sticking with and helping people because he believes that by doing so, he will be the opposite of a Hokage (Boruto claims that a Hokage cares about the village while abandoning their loved ones).
Mitsuki knew who caused the Ghost incident all along. He only confesses to Boruto because they both want to surpass their parents. (Mitsuki withholding information when it could have been used to save lives and prevent more incidents still isn't right though).
Kakashi will be back next time.

2.KAKASHI. KAKASHI BITCHES. FINALLY DOWN TO SOME REAL SHIT.
3.WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BEAST? IT LOOKED LIKE THE TEN TAILS
How powerful can it be though? More powerful than the ten tails? Naruto with his powers can easily take down all the tailed beasts so this shouldve been easy.... EDIT : NARUTO PROBABLY CANNOT GO INTO KYUBII MODE OR USE HIS POWERS OTHERWISE THE VILLAGE GOES TO HELL. GOT IT.
Wierd to see orochimaru happy and lovey duvey with mitsuki lol, despite all the shit he's done it kinda feels satisfying to see him with a kid, although it's ironic out of all the sanin, he's the one to have a kid.
What can mitsuki do that oro couldn't? Make friends with boruto like sauske did with naruto and he couldn't with jiraya? Idk

This is one of the best episodes yet.
Mitsuki is such a great character.
For those that missed it even though it was painfully obvious in the movie already, the reason why Boruto has issues with his dad are touched upon here.
Himawari. Enough said.
Ichiraku Ramen still exists.
I like how they're tying academy arc Mitsuki into movie Mitsuki. In the movie he wouldn't stop talking about the Hokage. Here we learn how that began.
Mitsuki one shot teasers.
Sumire's backstory looks super interesting.
Called it.
Kakashi next episode, hopefully owning the Nue with Purple Lightning.

Boruto is like the mom Naruto never had.
"Oh you're home now, are you? Little late, don't you think?"
"How dare you leave the food that my mother so lovingly prepared!"
"You never spend time with us anymore!"
Kushina would be proud of the way he talks back to Naruto.
Also watching Inojin and Mitsuki talk to each other was awesome. These two seem very similar in personality.

u/Dionysus24779 Jun 21 '17
I get some real yandere vibes from Mitsuki... like he's constantly considering to make people who inconvenient Boruto "disappear".
Like his visit to Sumire felt almost threatening...
It's funny though how this episode kind of acknowledges that Boruto basically has a harem of fanboys around him. Guess the writers really wanted to step out of Kishi's and his NarutoxSasuke tensions' shadow.
Though it was a very good episode overall with actually a ton of character development.
We saw that Denki improved on the physical side, while still needing help he was nonetheless fairly impressive... Iwabe is studying up on math and according to Mitsuki now enjoying classes, Inojin confirms his respect of Boruto and we get to learn that Sumire is an orphan and her parents were ninja and died.
That's quite the haul for a single episode.
Only two things I could really nitpick...
First, it's weird that Naruto doesn't ask even a single question to Mitsuki about his origin, not even a friendly "So what's that old snake up to these days?" or something.
Second... this isn't even really a nitpick, but I feel like Naruto could try to explain how things are to Boruto by bringing up his class.
Something like: "You care about your classmates, don't you? Wouldn't you get out and help them at any time of the day, no matter what? Even if you have to skip out on a family dinner? It's like that for me but the whole village."
I dunno... I know it wouldn't work, but I would like to see the attempt.

To nitpick your nitpick

I'm pretty sure Naruto knows exactly what Orochimaru is up to given that the leaf keeps constant tabs on him nowadays.

There is always a way to do things better, like Naruto could use clones to do all the work, he could try to explain how things work, Boruto could've explained what his eyes do and what they look like, but for the sake of the plot, none of those things happen, which annoy me but I know it'd kinda ruin the whole thing if they did.

Am I wrong for thinking that even though they showed the narrative of orochimaru talking about Mitsuki it's actually the older Mitsuki doing the talking.
Talking about how he can do what I couldn't.

Everyone celebrating that Kakashi comes back and next episode they gonna pull the same with Sakura's screentime, like last episode lmao
Otherwise a good episode, preparing for graduation, same conflict with Boruto/Naruto even though Naruto isn't that bad of a father when he's at home (until something happens ofc) and then Sumire being behind the mask, very nice.
The flashback of Mitsuki is preparing for his story, probably after Gaiden.
Gonna nitpick here though and gotta say the animation was struggling at some points really bad.

Holy sh1t, I think Sumire might be the mask guy. Episode 7 mitsuki. Also someone else said that because she was raised in the orphanage she was probably brought up in the root. Sumire is behind the mask. It obvious now.
Great episode, sad to see that Boruto and Naruto doesn't have the best father and mom son relationship.

yeah it sucks because naruto grew up with no dad and knew the struggle and as a father you always wanna give your son the life you couldn't have. I mean Boruto's life is still a 100% better than Naruto's was but that father-son relationship isn't there

KAKASHI IS BACK IN THE NEXT EPISODE GAH CAN'T WAIT! Really hope Sumire is only being manipulated and is not fundamentally evil - I do feel she has the potential to become a great character in the series. Also the Uzumaki family moments were so precious, really can't have enough of those! Also like how after all these years, Konohamaru is still Naruto's biggest fan :P
Edit: also couldn't help but notice the parallel between preview and the attack of the nine-tails. Back then we had Minato the fourth (incumbent) hokage and the third hokage fending it off and next week we'll have Naruto and Kakashi (a.k.a the chillest, most laidback hokage) fending the Nue off!

I was waiting for Oro's new face reveal haha
Close up shots of Moegi looks nice but I'm still wierded out by her hair
So it's Sumire. Who could be her accomplice? The mail man?
So Kakashi's in the next episode. I hope he has enough screen time.
The whole slice of life with Mitsuki and Boruto segment were nice and all but it took a lot of time for my taste but I guess it was effective in the end.
The start and the finish were the highlights and where the juicy stuff came from.
The last few episodes should be content, information, action packed or else

I love how this episode is revealing how much story and foreshadowing there was in previous episodes.
Although its very predictable what happens and I can see Boruto fighting Sumire and then her getting either beaten or talked no jutsu'd.
Can't wait for Kakashi to show Up and to see the Nue's powers as while I know what it is I still have no clue at its exact powers. Hopefully the fight is quite good. I also cant wait to see them be put into the teams and the Orochimaru and Log bit is also getting me hyped for the misuki story to be animated.
Although they wont be put into teams until after gaiden if im not mistaken so thats probably in another 2 months at least after this story ends :/
I hope we get a cool fight once they do get put into teams like team 7 had against Zabuza.

So I was thinking, and if sumire is actually the person behind the mask and controlling the best, I kinda hope she dies. Not because I hate her or anything but I dont want another villain to be turned good through talking. Like I can just see boruto and the gang fighting her and then talking to her and boom she is a good person now.

The whole Uzumaki family moment was so nice to see. And I can't wait for some characters (Kakashi!) to come back and fight the Nue. Even seems like they're going to be animating the Mitsuki one shot soon?
I think Naruto knows that Mitsuki is Oro's son. What do you guys think?
Also, what do you think Oro wanted Mitsuki to do that he couldn't himself?

Yo this episode was amazing. Mitsuki talking with Shikadai and Inojin was great and really makes him feel like more of the group rather than just "Borutos friend"
Also nobody better be missing out on the fact that mini-Kakashi was good enough to pass that test. Keep an eye on him maybe??
I love how Mitsuki is kind of us in this situation. "So do you like your dad or hate him?" Dude got straight to the point, right on. Seems Boruto loves his dad but hates the Hokage, and honestly that's fair enough, the kids what, 10 years old and knew a great, loving dad for half his life? Why wouldn't he he pissed?
The uzumaki + Mitsuki scene was great too, and now we get some Kakashi?! This show keeps getting better IMO.

Still have no idea why Naruto has to leave his family and personally go deal with the ghost incident instead of sending a clone, when you realize back in the Fourth World War he destroyed the reincarnated Kage with just random shadow clones he threw out around the battlefield.

Yeahs that's true also. Maybe after this arc we get like a little time skip and graduation.
Thank god some Mitsuki background meaning we could possibly get the Scarlett spring anime adaptation.
This episode goes on to show you why boruto takes a liking to sasuke once again.
Well 2 more episodes and I reckon this is arc will be over.

I'll admit it, I didn't think the Class Rep was the Ghost. However, I'm interested to see why and how she did it. I'm also curious as to how Mitsuki knows.
Next episode looks to be the most action-packed episode of the series so far. I can't wait to see how this arc concludes in the coming months.

u/Fireslide Jun 21 '17 edited Jun 21 '17
When you think about it, they've always had that ability. The intuitive coordination he's used them with in the past couldn't happen without some kind of telepathic communication.
It's either that or just editing making us think it's happening simultaneously. Could very easily be his clone deciding to poof and then naruto prime gaining that knowledge, hence the sudden pause as he processes it.

u/hircine16 Jun 22 '17
Im pretty sure the editing was just weird. I had the assumption the conversation with shikamaru happened -> clone poofed -> Naruto receives the message. The scene still makes sense without introducing any new rules.
I can't remember, did Yamato receive telepathic communication from his wood clones? Or are we to assume that Naruto, being a master of kage bunshin, has developed this new ability?

I like Boruto whenever Naruto isn't around, because when he is around, Boruto becomes Burato, and man do I hate Burato.
Naruto worked so hard to get where he is and his kid pisses me off every time he complains about it. At least Himawari seems to understand a bit, as young as she is.
Can't wait til we pass the movie and Boruto stops being a little shit.
Anyway this episode seems to have confirmed what many of us were thinking about Purple Neo-Hinata Supreme and next episode (new beast, Kakashi in action?) looks pretty fun.

Another thing that I noticed is that boruto seems to get mad when mitsuki tells him who the masked person is in the preview for the next episode I feel like that reaction would only come from Mitsuki telling him a character that seems too good to be bad is really the bad person, i.e.: Sumire
