Back on topic, more or less. I not sure if going into the life of Boruto with in the movies is even a good idea, if all they're going to do is have a villain so powerful that it takes Sasuke or Naruto to defeat. It turns Boruto into an unimportant character when he is suppose to be the main character in the movie. The idea that Boruto could land the kill shot on the villain is hard to believe and the possibly of Naruto dieing in this movie so Boruto can take his father place as a protector has little value if Sasuke is not removed as well. Also I'm not convinced that Boruto's character has the strength, (and I am not take about his abilities or future growth in ability) to continue the Naruto franchise. Especially if all we will be seeing of him is in the movies.

I can say that I am not happy that it was hinted that Naruto could die in this movie. I think it would be a bad move it it were to be become a reality. Especially since Naruto and his son have not reconciled yet, actually having any of the rookie nine dieing in this movie or any other is a bad move in my opinion. The reason being is it feels more like they are getting rid of the characters more so than for the sense of realism. The fact that it is realistic is just a bonus. Kishimoto said he had a definite ending in the works, since he did not want to stop with the happy ending Naruto Shippuden had it makes it kind of hard not to expect that the true ending with be the one where the apocalyptic event succeeds.
