ALL POSTSWas Naruto: Gaiden necessarily important for the series?
<p>After reading Gaiden, I know that the family bond between Sasuke, Sakura, and Sarada was important but could Gaiden have been different? Sasuke may have been away for many years to look for an enemy stronger than Kaguya to protect his family and the village, but couldn't he have at least visited his family or kept in contact with them? Sarada recalls a time when Sasuke was involved in her earliest years, but I don't understand why there wasn't a single photo of him with Sakura and Sarada from then. Also, if Sarada happens to bring it up, will Sasuke ever tell her the truth about the Uchiha clan downfall and the dark things about his past?

<p>Well, no it wasn't very important to the series, even though it's implications would've /should've shocked the Ninja world to its core.

<p>unfortunatly a cheap reason in order to create more "tension" for the plot :( </p> <div class="quote"><i> <p>Lilyxflower wrote: Also, if Sarada happens to bring it up, will Sasuke ever tell her the truth about the Uchiha clan downfall and the dark things about his past? </p> </i></div>

<p>It could be..I don't think this side story should be seen as insignificant, I felt this story actually revived the Uchiha Clan, albeit in a less than dignified manner but a revival in some way to me.
</p><p>That has to have significant repercussions for any other stories Kishi tells in Naruto's universe in my opinion.
</p><p>Ultimately tho, this story is significant for Sarada, Sasuke and Sakura for obvious reasons, their family was made whole after so many years of Sasuke's normadic lifestyle.

<p>It was necessary.Gaiden was like a prologue to Boruto movie,it gave us information about Sarada and Chocho,their abilities and their personalities. It showed how Sarada awakened her sharingan,what happened to team Taka, Orochimaru and Kabuto. Since Boruto movie is supposed to focus on him and his advances as a Ninja there is little time to no time for other characters.
Also,'Who's my real mother?' drama was for plot progression.

<p>Naruto Gaiden served more as a prequel to <i>Boruto</i>. Without Gaiden, there's a lot of unanswered questions (mainly about everyone's kids).
