This ain't the Naruto I know :D The Naruto i know would've broken the lock altogether :D Same here; the hacking was hilarious, an' a cool way to show that this is modern times (especially since the 1st few Episodes of 'Naruto' already showed stuff like ear-communicators & a camera, so it's only logical technology woulda advanced 3 decades later). My only grievace with this Episode is that the girls didn't do anywhere near a much as the boys. A cool punch jutsu from Chocho, shurikenjutsu from Sarada. That's it. Those two ar the only girls whom at least showed SOMETHING; in contrat, the boys had Inojin, Shikadai, Boruto, Iwabe & Denki. Frankly, the boys deserved to win the competition because they're the ones whom SHOWED superior skill. I'm a girl myself an' loved it how the only reason they won was because of Sumirei (whom hadn't been into the whole competition at all, which makes her catching the flag more or less on accident hilarious), but from an objective stand-point the girls' 'victory' was a fluke. That combined with their lousy performance makes it pretty clear the boys really won. I don't mind per say, but I do wish the so-called 'tie' had been a PROPER tie i.e. equal but different kinds of skill shown by both sides. That'd have made the Episode waaay better! ...Then again, maybe the race was just an excuse for the whole Boruto-Summons-a-giant-snake thing? I wish the minor characters had done something cool...
