Board Thread:Boruto: Naruto the Movie/@comment-25932872-20151202234535/@comment-26010916-20151203140843

I made a thread here which links a conversation which people of a popular Jap program asked Kishimoto why he paired Boruto and Sasuke together.

Kishimoto stated for them to look at Gohan's teacher. Meaning he was inspired by Gohan/Piccolo to bring them together as master/student

Interesting enough, Gohan called Piccolo "uncle" when he was a boy as well.
