'''im starting to quit this man.. I wanna see some action. and some good action. and it better not have plot, bs, cis, pis, plotarmor, and wank...''' Of course they're gonna wank the next gen and put less focus on Naruto characters. It's right there in the title Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. I feel like most people who feel ambivalent or outright dislike this show are expecting it to be Naruto 3.0 with the adult Naruto characters taking most of the screentime.

Also, stop pretending like OG Naruto and Naruto Shippuden were clear of plot bs, cis, pis, plot armor or wank. There was a lot of that going on especially in Shippuden. I think that the majority of people who use the "Well this story about Boruto not Naruto", miss the fact that 99.9% of the people watching this show, come from the original series. Fine give the shippers what they wanted with their boring ass relationships and kids, I don't care. This doesn't mean I agree with the fact that we are shown a complete lack off ex-main characters. How many times have you seen Konohamaru so far?(Even in the manga) and he is their Sensei, so he is essentially Kakashi. Even if part 1 we were shown Hiruzen a lot of times. The interesting thing was that there were enemies in those shows. In part 1 it all started with Zabuza and Haku and then we got to this unknown powerful guy named Orochimaru, who's goal was to destroy the village. Then we got introduced to the Akatsuki, a group that is after Naruto and we had another badass character appear(Jiraiya). There is no actual threat in those series, the grown ups are shown in like 0.1% of the total screen time, it's just plain boring. Fine focus on Boruto, but let him have Konohamaru as a teacher and then obviously Sasuke, to teach him more powerful techniques. Let Naruto train somebody. Ever since I began watching the anime back in 2006-2007 I have always looked up to 2 things. Naruto becoming Hokage(Check) and having his own squad(no check here). Why was he never made a Jonin squad leader? We all know that Hiruzen was already Hokage when he got to train the Sannin, so don't tell me that Hokage are not allowed to have their apprentices.
