"The era of the ninja is about to end..."
This was the first line that appeared after the anime officially started.
"Indeed, ninjas are a backward thing that needs to be eliminated." Naruto agreed in his heart.
Then, the camera in front of Naruto turned, and he saw that Konoha had become a ruin, and even the seven Hokage Rock faces had collapsed for the most part.
Two teenagers, covered in black tattoos and around fifteen or sixteen years old, were standing sideways on the broken Hokage Rock, fighting.
The two were very strong. Although Naruto couldn't estimate their actual combat power due to the limitations of the anime's expressiveness, judging from the surrounding destroyed Konoha, they wouldn't be weaker than him at this moment.
From the conversation between the two, Naruto learned that the black-haired tattooed teenager was named Kawaki.
The other blond one was naturally his son, Uzumaki Boruto.
"I'll send you to the Seventh Hokage's place too, Boruto!" Kawaki said coldly, reciting his lines.
Naruto stroked his chin and pondered, "Looking at this, in another timeline, that silly Naruto is offline, and it seems Sasuke is offline too, otherwise, with their strength, there would be no room for the younger generation to perform.
They are all popular characters, and the author wants to make money, so they can't let them die directly. They might be trapped or seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat power."
Guessing like this, Naruto didn't wait for the subsequent plot to unfold and tell him what was going on.
He saw the scene jump back to a few years ago, starting to tell the story of Boruto's childhood.
Naruto wasn't in a hurry, so he calmly watched the growth process of his silly son, without skipping episodes directly.
Seeing Boruto causing trouble, driving the Lightning Cart off the rails, and directly collapsing the Hokage Rock, the corner of Naruto's eye twitched.
"Damn brat!"
The development of this plot made Naruto feel a sense of déjà vu, very much like paying homage to the plot of Naruto's prank in the opening of Naruto, but it always gave him a feeling of anger.
After that, Boruto entered the Ninja Academy.
As the plot slowly progressed, in order to highlight the new characters, the older generation of characters were frantically weakened and suffered losses, constantly staging the plot of elementary school students saving the world.
Naruto didn't care much about these contents. What he really paid attention to were some details about the new era mixed in the plot.
Naruto sneered, "Sure enough, nothing has changed. They talk about pursuing peace and wanting everyone to understand each other, but they are just integrating themselves into the ruling class."
These details had already been reflected in the Boruto movie, but at this moment, they were presented more richly in front of Naruto.
Just like he once despised, the other him in another timeline failed to change anything, and did not achieve true peace. War was still lurking in the dark, threatening the entire world.
As long as Naruto and Sasuke died, peace would collapse, just like Hashirama once did.
Moreover, Naruto, who became the Seventh Hokage, was busy with work and didn't even care about his family.
Causing his silly son named Boruto to be so lawless, just like he was when he was a child, relying on pranks everywhere to attract attention.
Failure, quite a failure!
Career, life, and the education of his offspring are all a mess!
Naruto shook his head straight.
The plot went on episode by episode, and new and old characters also appeared alternately, so that Naruto, who had watched Shippuden, felt that the early stage of the anime was slightly boring, but he could still watch it.
However, what Naruto didn't expect was...
That Orochimaru's disciple, the slender and beautiful Special Jonin Mitarashi Anko, had turned into a sweet potato more than a decade later. Her weight had nearly doubled, and she was completely ruined.
"Is this what they mean by time makes people fat?" Naruto couldn't help but sigh.
But considering that Boruto and Shippuden weren't drawn by the same author, it wasn't strange for such character destruction to occur.
It wasn't until the series reached Kishimoto's own Naruto spin-off, the Scarlet Spring Month Chapter, also known as Sarada Seeks Her Father, that Naruto felt it became interesting.
In this storyline, Sakura and Sasuke's daughter, Uchiha Sarada, suspected that her mother wasn't actually Sakura. So, led by Naruto, she sought out her father Sasuke, who had been away from home for many years.
Because she was about to see her father, Sarada was so overjoyed that she directly activated her Sharingan.
Afterward, Uncle Sasuke displayed the same idiotic level of parent-child relationship handling as the Seventh Hokage Naruto, almost strangling his own daughter to death.
The story continued with Shin, Orochimaru's experimental subject.
A villain who could transplant all other organs without side effects, and without any rejection reactions, appeared with his bunch of clone sons.
But Sasuke and Sakura beat them up, giving them a good show of strength in front of the younger generation. In the end, Sarada's misunderstanding was resolved, and everyone was happy.
"As expected, the story drawn by the original author is more interesting. Did Sasuke find a clue about the Otsutsuki? So there's this kind of strange physique. It seems I have a SSR Bloodline Combination experimental tool person."
"This plot also shows that the Mangekyo Sharingan can also be wholesale cloned, but it's meaningless. A weakling won't become much stronger even if they get the Mangekyo. In the end, they still have to cultivate hard and improve their essence to become a true powerhouse."
Naruto pondered, continuing to watch Boruto.
The next storyline entered the New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, with Boruto and a group of Ninja Academy students going to the Hidden Mist Village for a field trip.
Up to this point, Naruto still felt that this Boruto anime, while not particularly good, was still passable.
The negative emotions generated from watching a bunch of depressing stories earlier had dissipated a lot, and Naruto had a smile on his face at this moment.
As Boruto and his group arrived at the Hidden Mist Village, it had become a modern port city.
Naruto didn't find this strange. The technology for these reinforced concrete high-rise buildings already existed, but it couldn't be widely promoted due to the world's environment.
But then, the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei, who had already stepped down at this point in time, appeared, giving Naruto an opening thunderclap.
This former beauty of Shippuden, enough to be on par with Tsunade, Terumi Mei, who was now not even forty years old, had a sudden change in art style.
She directly transformed from the intellectual mature woman with a mysterious aura that Naruto had just seen not long ago, into an old woman who looked at least fifty years old.
"Pfft, like Anko, did she offend the author? Hahaha..."
Seeing this, Naruto was still smiling.
He even thought that he could give his God, who had just sent a three hundred million tael order, some popular science on skin care and body maintenance methods as a thank you.
Then, as the plot developed, the New Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist officially made their appearance one by one.
The smile on Naruto's face gradually solidified.
