Couldn't Kashin Koji have taught Boruto TFG? As a clone of Jiraiya it's possible he knows the technique but just can't use it like Minato could ( Either not at all or a lesser version like Minatos bodyguards can ). We know Jiraiya learned Rasengan after Minato developed it so it's possible he took an interest in learning TFG at somepoint but could not master it yet still knows enough to pass on that knowledge to someone else who can.

@@Tenjikarazthey could still teach the technique in memory of Minato

[@phonyalias7574]

@@Tenjikaraz I think it was said that Minato taught them. But, the question is where did Minato learn of the technique? He PROBABLY didn't reinvent the same technique with the same name as Tobirama, especially given their very different approaches to naming techniques. Meaning Minato somehow knew of Tobiramas technique, and either thought about it conceptually and worked it out, or it's written down on a scroll somewhere that he was allowed to study and attempt after showing his potential, or... Jiraiya knew of it from Tobirama and guided Minato to learn it. This would mean Kashin Koji could have filled a similar role for Boruto.

[@imhappy._.]

​@@phonyalias7574he probably learned it on a scroll somewhere in konoha white house. Hiruzen knows all of Konoha's techniques outside of kekkei genkais except flying raijin so he probably showed Minato the scroll hoping he'd learn how to do it.

He could have learned it from the toads since minato was contracted to them

[@psypsy751]

Hagoromo did split the Ten-tails into 9 beasts which developed their own personalities and even had names, so it's possible that someone knew this was doable and attempted it. Does this mean the Shinju are at least as powerful as a tailed-beast + whatever new abilities they are able to suck up, like the rinnegan? We also know the tailed-beasts were not equally powerful, so I doubt the shinju are as powerful as Kurama on their base form, but they're probably stronger than Shukaku, thought it might depend. Like there's only 4 of them rn, but are they split evenly? I would guess they're at least as strong as Son Goku, the 4-tailed beast, in their base form.

You're right that shinjū could be translated as 'double suicide', but it can also be translated as 'divine beast'. It just depends on the kanji being used.

The thing that Boruto used to teleport was his konoha pin. You can see that it’s apart of his design, it’s pinned on his jacket to the left. Then you can see the toad is holding onto it while hiding on Code. So he put some type of marker on it or he doesn’t have to use a marker and he can just teleport to items (kinda like how Sasuke teleport would work)

[@jamiewatson1873]

Something that occurs to me is that the Shinju may be similar creatures to the Paths of Pain, except they are evolved from claw grimes and not corpses. This would explain why they have the rinnegan-like eyes but do not seem to use rinnegan abilities in battle, but instead use versions of the abilities of the individuals that are trapped in the mini-god trees. The claw marks that each Shinju has acts like the receiver-antennae chakra rods that Pain used to control the Paths - with the mini-god trees acting as the broadcasting-antennae. I suspect that the Ten Tails has somehow absorbed the intelligence and personalities of the people caught by the trees, which is why the Shinju is talking about growing an ego that they did not have before - and is able to use the claw marks and baby god trees (and Sasuke's rinnegan) to make and control Shinjus. And maybe the Shinju / Ten Tails wants to be an independent entity (entities?) rather than forced to become a God Tree, which is why it wants to capture Boruto but not absorb him immediately. The Zetsus came about in a similar manner to the Shinjus, except Kaguya was imposing her will over the Zetsus... Perhaps the Shinju are what happens when the Ten Tails doesn't have an Otsutsuki like Kaguya or Hagoromo imposing their will over it and it has access to a rinnegan. Anyway - I appreciate your work, Nick.

[@JK_of_Today]

I loved this ch so much. I literally had to take breaks in the middle of reading it because I was too hyped. But the only thing I wasn’t a fan of is the idea that the older characters need to be sealed away. I don’t like the idea that the next generation can only shine when the previous generation isn’t around. Same like what happened with Gojo. I think the new generation should be good enough to make it on their own and not rely on the fact the previous generation is absent to make them look better. Boruto as a character is now good enough to be the main attraction even if Naruto and Sasuke were still around.

[@Xhalo1183]

I think it is more of a way for the next gen to become powerful enough to shine. The is no reason Naruto and Sasuke would just sit back and let the kids handle it. They needed time where the heavy hitters were locked away so that they can become the heavy hitters. It is like when you are playing in an RPG and you have cast that is larger than the party. You have to side line the ones that are more powerful to train the ones that less experienced. Just in a story you can't have them sitting back and chillin'. Got to give a reason for it. I think they will get unsealed and join in the fight when the next gen is strong enough to stand with them.

[@JK_of_Today]

@@Xhalo1183That would make sense if it wasn’t for the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are no longer the strongest and they haven’t been for a while. Boruto in these few chapters already surpassed anything Naruto and Sasuke have ever done. Even if they were unsealed, they couldn’t just fix every problem themselves. So I personally don’t see a reason to have them sealed. Naruto being sealed makes sense for Kawaki’s character but Sasuke less so. Yes I know that Sasuke getting treed pushes Boruto forward but Boruto already had plenty of motivation, he lost his old life and most of the people he cared about turned against him.

[@froogality]

gojo is new generation though, he was literally just too op. thats why they had to seal him, did you even watch the show?

[@JK_of_Today]

⁠​⁠@@froogalityGojo himself is a part of the older generation in JJK. The manga’s main characters are Yuji’s generation. I just think if you have a character that’s either too popular or too op and you need the main characters to be more relevant, the solution shouldn’t be to just get rid of that op character just to make the new generation look good. They should make the new generation look good by having them become more interesting characters and rise to the challenge on their own.

[@Suto_Ko]

I understand your concerns about the idea of sealing away the older characters in Boruto. It's true that it can be frustrating to see new characters constantly overshadowed by the accomplishments of their predecessors. However, I believe that there are some valid reasons for why the older characters may need to be sidelined in order for the next generation to truly shine. Firstly, it's important to remember that the older characters, like Naruto and Sasuke, are incredibly powerful and have faced countless challenges throughout their lives. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge that the younger generation simply does not have yet. If the older characters were to remain actively involved in the story, it would be very difficult for the new characters to have their own moments of growth and development. Secondly, the decision to sideline the older characters can also serve as a way to raise the stakes and create a sense of urgency for the new generation. If the older characters are always there to bail them out, then the new characters will never truly feel the pressure to step up and take on responsibility. By removing the older characters from the equation, the story forces the new generation to confront their own challenges and discover their own strengths. Of course, this doesn't mean that the older characters should be completely forgotten or ignored. They can still play a valuable role in the story by providing guidance and support to the new generation. However, it's important for them to allow the new characters to take center stage and have their own chance to shine. I believe that Boruto is a strong enough character to be the main attraction even if Naruto and Sasuke were still around. He has already demonstrated his own unique abilities and determination, and I'm confident that he will continue to grow and develop as the story progresses. And, I think that the decision to sideline the older characters in Boruto is a necessary one that will ultimately allow the new generation to reach their full potential. While it may be difficult to see some of our favorite characters take a backseat, I believe that it will ultimately be beneficial for the story and the characters themselves.

And the rennigans clearly come from the ten tails. 🙄 The idea that it comes from sasuke is stupid af

Jiraiya never knew the flying raijin. But he watched Minato learn it so he probably understands what most ninja that learned it after Minato lacked.

[@zmbioutlw]

As long as the DNA of Ashura and Indra are in a being, they have a possibility to awaken a Rinnegan. The only reason the ten tails had it was because it created chakra and was eaten by Kaguya who was the original possesser of the Rinnegan and an Otsutsuki. That is why it got one after Madara absorbed the God Tree, since he is Indra's reincarnate and all that was needed was Ashura's DNA to access said possibility. it gets confusing when you look at the details but this is all stated by Misashi Kishimoto and like Nic says.

There are people in the Boruto timeline that know Flying Raijin, but are not proficient enough to use it on their own. The special jonin from Konoha used it to teleport Mei to the battlefield during the 4th ninja war, but it took 3 of them to do it. And it's also not impossible that the technique could be recorded on a scroll somewhere, the same way the Shadow Clone Jutsu was. If Boruto found that scroll, he could have learned FTG the same way Naruto learned how to use shadow clones without a teacher to walk him through it.

Shinju are _basically_ just "perfected" iterations of the White Zetsu, and _these_ guys are _easily_ capable of holding off High-Ranking Otsutsuki. I'm not sure what Code did differently to Kaguya to get Claw Grimes rather than basic White Zetsu, however.

[@crunchyman5330]

So basically, by leaving his claw marks on the ten tails, Code accidentally deteriorated the chakra of the ten tails such that it developed an ego and created shinju-beings from chakra that want only to make a chakra fruit? Isn't this ten tails different than the ten tails that Kaguya fused with? So this ten tails that Bug took was basically Momoshiki's or Isshiki's? So does the ego in these shinju beings belong to Code or Isshiki? Maybe it belongs to that god Shibai? What even IS a ten tails? Is it just when an otsutsuki fuses with a god tree like Kaguya did? So the current ten tails in the Boruto story is some otsutsuki fused to a god tree from a different planet? Is eating an otsutsuki the same as fusing with it? So many unanswered questions!

I believe the first Otsutsukis were shinju just like the 4 villains in Boruto i think a long time ago something caused a juubi to evolve just like the one in Boruto and turn into humanoid beings like the ones in Boruto. then these human-like creatures found a way to make a god fruit, consumed it, and became the first otsutsuki. once they became otsutsukis they could increase their population the same way humans do. since they are inheriting the genes of animals that have reproductive organs, these shinju beings would develop reproductive organs after eating a chakra fruit. This may be the reason why otsutsukis have very long life spans because they inherit the strong life force of the Juubi. Their appearance is also similar to a juubi jinchuriki.

[@youngspaceboy2875]

Hmm I like this theory but they have mentioned many times that the Otsutsuki are an alien race that fought each other for existence so I don't see much co-operation between each other like the Shinju as seen with Kaguya and Ishikki. They always existed since the beginning and had a decent population to procreate like clans and realized conquering planets and eating the planets fruit through god tree & tentails(each being assigned one) made them stronger. However, I do feel that the fruits aren't meant for them but for their King. I do feel the first Strongest Otsutsuki is someone who ate the fruit or many fruits including their own planet something that made him the strongest and made him King or First God and assigned Different lower Otsutsuki (which where regular alien clans) to bring back fruits for the King. Again referencing Kaguya being sent to Earth with ishhiki, Momoshiki and his team, (Probably Shibai? but they chose to eat it themselves and in turn want to be stronger than the King Otsutsuki which would lead to war as we saw Kaguya know there was a war that will happen when they find out she ate the fruit on Earth and made the Zetsu army also predicting more clans to come to earth on the Kings command. This also explains why Shibai was trying to be stronger and made him something immortal. Maybe he is the Otsutski King/God himself who knows) But I'm sure they always existed like humans with a decent population.

Except Kishimoto is more predictable than Gege, I mean just ask Nick about it.

[@victorpecora340]

kishi wanted Boruto different from Naruto.. Unlike Naruto, Boruto is a story where it's all happy but slowly as time passes by it becomes gritty and dark. It gets darker as time passes by.

Minato not only got his own manga, dude got a power scale boost too. Fuck that contest was important 😂

[@Jdog_6704]

Honestly after reading the actual Boruto English Version Manga chapter 4, I'm so stoked for Chapter 5 now. I mean I damn near threw my phone 5 times reading this chapter. Flying Raijin, Sasuke's Clone, Kashin Koji's appearance and that last panel. Really a phenomenal Chapter and THANK YOU Nick for the two videos recently.

[@BanditPlays]

so shikamaru says their is an internal spy on helping boruto. i know their are 3 ninjas who worked directly with the 4th hokage who, with their chakra combined, could perform the flying thunder god tech. mayb they taught boruto? idk…its kinda a stretch. mayb just one of them taught him?

[@jw2664]

Ya they think Boruto is the bad guy.. .

[@anthonylamonica8301]

Honestly, I think that Otsutsuki are just innately talented at Space-Time Ninjutsu/Shinjutsu. _All_ pure-blooded Otsutsuki (now including Boruto) have demonstrated an effortless ability to transition between dimensions; Flying Raijin is probably pretty simple in comparison.

[@skyleryorks1280]

Your right, during the 4th war the lava kage lady got teleported to the other kage when they started to get jumped by Madara. They even said it takes all 3 of them to perform the move compared to the 4th hokage

[@izitest2785]

My favorite part was p32, the closeup of Boruto's face right after he ducked, there is so much emotion on that face it really hurt. Also Nick did you notice the Konoha-symbol-item the frog was holding? Could that have been the FTG's beacon or perhaps was that meant to be used on 10-tails?

[@spencerorde8090]

I interpreted this chapter as the tree being fully broken down into claw grimes, and it took over Code's own role in giving it sentience/ego. But the biggest thing I've been thinking... where is the super ego and id? Still in the people in the trees?

[@froogality]

superego and id are theories

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

I think Sasuke is clinging onto life.

[@GraniVision]

Agreed. I do like the idea that getting Sasuke out of the tree could heal him completely

[@Anakele20]

No one should have been surprised that Koji ended up training Boruto. From the early days of Naruto, historical symmetry has been a major story element of these character's lives. He has Jaraiya's memories, which means he most likely has first-hand knowledge of the Flying Thunder God technique, considering Jaraiya was Minato's teacher. Boruto freeing Code from his Rasengan Usiheko served a dual purpose: 1, he was hopeful that between the two of them they could handle this threat right here and right now (largely due to his desperation in wanting to save Sasuke),. 2, allowing Code to be turned into an Upper Clawgrime would have been even more disasterous because at least now he is a predictable, easily dealt with enemy. Boruto has no idea what an amped-up Code would be like to deal with. At least Koji seems calm about things, which gives me hope. But holy hellburgers. There aren't that many ninja who can handle this new threat. I wonder if they will peak Daemon's interest.

[@CodyCannon11]

Why is nobody mentioning that the rinnegan in shippuden showed us that multiple people’s bodies could be using the same rinnegan? Like it doesn’t mean there are several new rinnegan here…just that they could be sharing the same rinnegan. Think back to the “6 paths of pain” of which they all shared a different path, but none were Pain (Nagato) himself. I suspect that these aren’t a bunch of new rinnegan, but instead sharing it with someone else. Just a theory.

[@js2003]

Boruto’s entire demeanor changed when he saw the claw grime Sasuke. He must have known that if he defeated that claw grime,he would free Sasuke from being trapped. That mental nerf almost got him killed back there

[@ranner3]

To be honest i dont think defeating that claw grime would free him, in my opinion he either have to defeat all clawgrimes since they are now like a mind of ten tails, or somehow get to the main body to ten tails wherever it is and destroy it.

[@js2003]

@@ranner3 Could make sense since he was heavily focused on finding the 10 tails,but the way he focused on that claw grime had me suspicious.

[@Northwite]

"Something I predicted" Bro, you threw out 3 theories and you're calling it a prediction? What? You: "Sasuke is dead" You: "Sasuke is a Claw Grime." You: "Sasuke is in a tree." Chapter 4 comes out. I WAS RIGHT!!! EDIT: "There's technically no one who knows how to use Flying Raijin" Uh, the 3 Hokage Guards who used it in the Naruto War Arc (mind you they had to combine their chakra) know how to use it. Geezus.

[@MatthewDias25]

Imagine what the Otsutsuki clan will think when they find out that one of their Jyuubi got turned into some weird claw monster things and that 4 of them managed to develop consciousness and an "ego"

[@Kambyday]

The rinnegans that the claw Grimes have could be madara's rinnegans since we don't know what happened to them after madara died so it could be that they were just with madara's corpse (that would be insanely stupid tho) and code (or some other true villain from my head cannon) took them

[@azrael_morningstar]

Boruto is the son minato never had.

[@Crossfire145]

if something actually happens to sasuke ill be surprised

[@BitchChill]

He got his arm and Rinnegan back

[@idkclown5362]

So is the term “shinju” being related to two people dying at once a reference to the fact that the shinju will die upon eating boruto and becoming a god tree, therefore killing two “people” dying at once? Or is it that upon the shinju eating boruto will kill the shinju and their respective person inside the tree

[@peacemaker4829]

The idea of Sasuke getting his eye AND arm back goes so hard

[@Andrewzane-]

i believe Boruto focused on the Shinju of Sasuke because if you kill the shinju of that person, it probably kills the tree that holds them and sets them free. Each shinju are probably feeding off of the chakra of the person they are appearing as.

[@EdgardoJCruz-dk5kv]

I think it’s official at this point. Boruto has had a much better offscreen training arc than Naruto did in his in own offscreen training arc between their respective Parts. I mean Boruto learned to use a sword, chidori, a unique advanced form of the razengan, toad summoning, and Flying Thunder God technique. What did Naruto learn in comparison upon his return into Shippuden? A bigger Razengan and minor control of his Nine Tails Chakra mode. I know he gets more much later like Element Release, but still.

[@GraniVision]

Amazing breakdown. Boruto is becoming SO good and I hate that it’s only monthly cause I want to know what happens AND I’m kind of addicted to Naruto fan fics, so the further Boruto progresses the more complete Fan fics can be made

[@thediamond5590]

If Sasuke’s left eye does get repaired it should be reverted to his ems. It’s cool if he gets his rinnegan back but what was the point of taking it away from him to begin with

Boruto's story is just getting more darker and heartbreaking that i think he has the most saddest backstory in the whole of Naruto franchise, Boruto literally got his life stolen from him by a person he considered a brother,Got a heavy blame put on him for what he doesn't even know a thing about,Have the whole ninja world as a whole against him waiting for him at anytime and any moment to kill him for what he didn't do,Has his freinds except two who wants to kill him especially his moon mitsuki,His sister calling him "BORUTO"instead of "BIG BROTHER", Hearing his sister call another person brother,His sister also forgot about him though she has some suspections and has no evil intention towards him,He has only one eye,His best teacher has turned into a tree and feels so guilty towards sarada cause of that he can't even bear to look at her and Bro literally got aliens coming after him and haters would still be speaking what else do thay want huh?😢😌

[@thriftthrift4638]

Maybe : 🎯😇The Scroll that Kashin Kogi STOLE from the Library was: MINATO FILE They wanted to steal the information on how to use flying Raijin. Maybe that’s how BORUTO learned how to teleport…

[@uroy8371]

Personally, I like the chapter. Most events were expected, but it is interesting to see happening. I don't think that any of the shinju stole the jubbi. The jubbi probably was the leader (the one who looks like Isshiki). And as I said before, they could all have Rinnegan cause the jubbi has a Rinnesharingan, is something like the Paths of Pain. Also is interesting how all of they kept Codes shinjutsu ability as a part of they own. Could Code's marks and theirs be connected? Your theory on time travel could be possible, taking Boruto words about Minato. But I'm still thinking that Jogan Boruto has some kind of foresight ability, thanks to momo. And Who knows what broken ability would the Jogan have. Also the way Boruto released the uzuhiko looked like a seal, very similar to Minato, Jiraiya and Orochimaru making the seal in Naruto, especially Minato when he remade Kurama seal in Naruto). And at least is weird and unnecessary to me that Kishimoto give Boruto the flying r, cause Boruto has a Karma that does the same. Using a technique that broken is gonna make Boruto fights and scenarios very inconsistent. Like with Minato, he was the fastest but never was at the right time.

[@classifiedinformation960]

I think how boruto learned flying rajin was maybe from jiryia clone maybe he has some of the old memories when he was younger because he isn’t as old as he is in Naruto he could have his old mind or in flashbacks all the way up until he was cloned maybe jiriyu watch minato train on it and that’s how he learned it but it is weird boruto was talking like he seen him but it could be jiriya clone was telling him stories also boruto uses the pins to use flying rajin like he had a pin on the frog when he moved to code and that other shinju that he was calling harlequin is moegi that girl in konahamaru old team they used the same ninjutsu, also I think konahamaru will see his friend moegi in a tree in the village so he will convince shikamaru to assist boruto so he can free those 2 in the tree in village or maybe they will do it separate ways and get in each others way because konahamaru won’t let his best friend from a kid stay like that, or maybe konahamaru will see somethings not right and do it himself and assist boruto behind the village back and when he helps boruto he will wake up to reality and see boruto was apart of his team for so long

[@evan6338]

They call him Boruto Otsutsuki because that's his name after the rewriting reality Jutsu. Everyone thinks Boruto is an outsider, and that Kawaki is Naruto's real son. To everyone except the few who know otherwise, he isn't an Uzumaki and never was.

[@ziramgamer104]

There are defenitly people that know how to use FTG! Remember those 3 dudes in the war arc that sent the mizukage to where madara was? Yeah, they know!

I don't find it odd at all the Shinju keep referring to him as Boruto Otstsuki. They don't know his original last name and to them he's no different than someone descended from the Otstsuki clan. So in their mind that's his logical name.

[@dalton9636]

Not arguing the power scaling I just wonder about how teen Naruto half power and teen Sauske figuring out his powers could only SEAL Kaguya, with the help of dms kakashi and bad ass SAKURA like I think people are quick to dismiss Kaguya’s power but that chick made whole dimensions. Looked like the other Otsutuki just took over planets (which she did too, WITHOUT KILLING IT TOO AND CONSTANTLY HARVESTING MORE AND MORE OFF IT) I think she’s actually way stronger than we thought BECAUSE she ate the chakra fruit containing Shebai’s charkra
