Another unfulfilled desire:

That the new generation of shinobi will receive only a limited amount of exposure. Generally I'm not a fan of the constantly-going-storyline trope in some fiction... i.e. we meet the "hero", then we see the "hero's son" storyline, then we meet the "hero's grandchildren"... something we see in Star Wars; even in Dragonball GT (thankfully non-canon) I found the idea of grandfather Goku and granddaughter Pan traveling around tedious. Getting to meet a character's full evolving family tree isn't interesting to me.

But this IS interesting to me. What we've seen so far, Boruto and Sarada's class of genin are epic. I love the idea of seeing more of Naruto as Hokage and Sasuke as the rogue-mentor, of hearing throwbacks to former now-famous conflicts. I don't suspect we'll get a third anime that runs for a long time, but that would be welcome.
