Really liked how Boruto almost failed without his team the first trial. (though they could have been more subtle about it, just having him hearing Sai's words and contemplating them would have been enough, the part with the kids mocking him was too much).

I like the three twins so far, and of course Shinki (the girl with him looks like a Temari expy lol)

It makes sense for Shinki to be Gaara's son because only through Gaara(or Kankuro but we all knew he wasn't going to marry anyway) he would get the Magnet Release bloodline that only his family can get.

Plus for him to be adopted it would create a massive plothole because in the original series if there were more members of the Kazekage lineage Gaara would never BE Kazekage in the first place.

Heck we never even seen any other Magnet Release users in the war from the Sand Village.

I hope they explain well Shinki's origins because right now Kishimoto is confusing the heck out of me. First he left so much evidence for Sarada not being Sakura's biological daughter(especially when the evidence is so clear only the truly blind can not see it), now we have Shinki being Gaara's adopted son even though by making Shinki have the magnet release bloodline would not make sense.

Heck even if it was to protect him from Gaara's enemies it still wouldn't trick anyone since he DOES posses that bloodline anyway. So many plotholes and so much confusion.

Heck they haven't even revealed Minato being related to the Senju clan yet.

Maybe Shinki is Kankuro's son and Gaara adopted his nephew for some family/politics reason?
