<p>Ahh... </p>

<p>Oh, I just wanted to see everything that was canon to the anime and manga. Thanks. :D </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>Munchvtec wrote: List of Reference Material and Light Novels. </p> </i></div>
<p>Wow, thank you so much! :D Is that everything? </p>

<p>Either way, I'm excited. </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>FF-Suzaku wrote: I'm actually curious to see how they'll handle this. I feel like they must want to continue producing the anime by adapating the novels and creating original stories in order to bridge the gap between <i>Naruto</i> and <i>Boruto</i>, since it's going to take quite a while for *Boruto* to accumulate enough original material to adapt. </p><p>However, this week they're airing the 690th episode of <i>Naruto</i> (following the original, non-<i>Shippuden</i> numbering scheme). With just 13 chapters left to adapt, it seems like they're poised to end the series on episode 700 (<i>Shippuden episode 490</i>). And that would land just in time for the anime's 14th anniversary in October. </p><p>So, with such a perfect endpoint, which would also mirror the manga having 700 chapters, I can't imagine they'll want to keep airing new episodes as a part of <i>Naruto Shippuden</i>. </p><p>So... maybe they'll do the novels as a spinoff series that runs for a couple years? Or something entirely different... </p><p>We should probably start getting some information on the future of the anime by the end of the month, I guess. </p> </i></div>
<p>Wait, so do we know for a fact that Boruto will also be adapted into an anime? That's AWESOME! </p><p>As awesome as it would be for both anime and manga to be 700 each, there's no way they're going to make Sasuke and Naruto's final battle the underwhelmingly short venture the manga did. I mean, even Sakura vs. Sasori got like a volume and a half, but Sasuke vs. Naruto gets 2 chapters? No way. </p>

<p>Oh, that's going to be a lot of material to cover. I think each novel could be its own arc of quite a few episodes. </p> </div> <p>Exactly, given SP's love of expanding these things, I'll give it at least 12 episodes for each novel and a single episode on the KibaTama thing. </p> </div> <p>KibaTama is the omake about Kiba falling for the cat girl, right? Isn't there a handful of omake that haven't been adapted yet? (Still crossing my fingers for the original chapter of Naruto back before it was about ninjas.) </p>

<p>There are two Itachi Shinden novels. They show Itachi's life up to the Uchiha massacre. </p> </div> <p>Oh, and those were adapted recently? </p>

<div class="quote"><i> <p>If you want to make the Boruto section a manga section, then it makes more sense to move the movie potions of the section to a "Boruto: Naruto the Movie" section in the "In Other Media > Movies" section. </p> </i></div>
<p>I agree with this wholeheartedly. If it needs to be moved at all, move it down to the movie appearances instead of removing it altogether. But I think it was fine right where it was. </p><p>And considering that Sarutobii2 is right and the only change so far is some clothing choices, there's no reason to assume the movie's version of events are non-canon, especially since these are Boruto's memories which could be wrong or slightly distorted as they tend to be in real life. </p>

<p>I think the biggest problem is not the final power level, but rather the speed at which it happened. Hagoromo was an adult (in his 30's?) when he became the Sage. Hashirama took 30-40 years to become the God of Shinobi and transform entire battlefields and tame the Biju. Naruto went from a Ninja Graduate to Narusus in about 4 years. </p> <div class="quote"><i> <p>Lion chakra wrote: (Kakashi, that jerk had me believe the Sharingan came from the Byakugan for hundreds of episodes and chapters) </p> </i></div>
<p>Considering Kaguya is the origin of both, it's technically true. </p> </div> <p>5 years actually. Naruto graduated the Academy at 12 (by the way, why did Kishi emphasize that he failed the graduation test multiple times in the beginning? Shouldn't he have been older than his friends, then? They were all 12 when they graduated), the timeskip made him be about 14 or 15 in Volume 28 (2 and a half years), and the final day of the 4th Shinobi war was his 17th birthday, as stated by Minato. </p><p>And from what I've gathered, the Sharingan didn't originate from Kaguya (she had just a tomoe-Rinnegan with the powers of the Rinnegan and the Sharingan, and the Byakugan). It originated with her grandson Indra. And it's suggested that it was an inferior mutation of the Rinnegan. So it didn't come from the Byakugan, it came from the Rinnegan. It just so happens that all three dōjutsu came from the same source. Being Kaguya. </p>

<p>These two comes in mind... </p> </div> <p>Meh. Those look cool, I guess.

(^_^) </p> </div> <p>No prob! ;) I was just calling it Gentle Rasengan in my head, but Eight Trigrams Spiralling Gentle Palm sounds so much more epic. </p>

<p>i dont think that there is a difference of this and the normal gentle fist simply with way mroe chakra :I </p><p>actually, i dont even think that it would be possible to do that excpet for a ability like "long range chakra control" XD </p> </div> <p>Well, Gentle Fist is internal damage. The Rasengan is external damage. So it's a combination of both in one attack. Similar to Medical Ninjutsu in a way. </p>

<p>I hope Boruto can also unlock the Byakugan and does so soon enough. Can you imagine a Gentle Fist Rasengan?

Death. </p><p>Well, that's assuming Boruto is the next protagonist and not Himawari, though... The chances are very minimal. It's almost sure to be Boruto. </p>

<p>I wouldn't say he's <i>perfected</i> it. His aim was to live forever, not look young. As for why he does, I'm pretty sure it's just because he took the body of someone that age. </p> </div> <p>Not at all. Orochimaru possessed that hot blonde guy during the Sasuke Retrieval Arc who was clearly a young adult around Part 2 Naruto's age. And when his host's face was exposed while fighting Hiruzen, it looked like a teenage girl. So he still looked mid-40's while possessing young adults. Looking far more younger suggests refining the possession process, which further suggests he's perfected it. </p>

<p>Kabuto's raising pups in Konoha, Taka still works for Orochimaru, and Orochimaru has seemingly perfected his immortality jutsu, no longer looking 40-something. </p><p>And yet, Otogakure seems to now be allied to Konoha since Karin helped Sakura and Sasuke birth Sarada, Orochimaru helped Naruto and Sasuke, and even Suigetsu and Naruto had interaction, hinting that they're at least acquainted. </p>
