Well we're just having a semantic disagreement. It's not a plot hole to me as it doesn't affect anything else or any other part of the story. It's simply that according to the rules of the setting Kishi needed to handwave it with a soldier pill, Cursed Seal, a scroll that had chakra already stored...anything because otherwise Sasuke should've just died pulling that stunt.

But we agree there's no way in hell it should've happened the way it did.

Personally, I'm more interested in seeing Naruto as an adult now, because I get the feeling that a new series with Bolt as the main character would just be a repeat of the entire Naruto series. Both. As a young adult ninja, Naruto should have some very interesting missions still ahead of him, and it would be interesting seeing him solve problems peacefully that he could easily resolve with raw force if it so suited him, but we know it doesn't. An inversion of the beginning where he had to scrap to get by, now he has to do everything in his power to NOT use the overwhelming power he's attained.

As Hokage Naruto will mostly be stuck behind the desk meaning Kishi would have to go full on West Wing to get the most out of it. Still even Naruto sending a Kage Bunshin to the field would be an insane game changer.

As for Bolt and his generation it will be nice to see what they have to do in the new era, and what kind of missions they'll have. And maybe Kishi is just better at doing younger kids. But with the kids Naruto becomes the ultimate support character, and seeing him play mission control could be awesome.

Still thinking.
