Are you reaaaally going to tell me that even though Boruto (a) establishes that time travel exists and (b) has Sasuke go back in time to when he was 13 and Itachi was still alive, Sasuke DOESN’T IMMEDIATELY try and save his brother?!
Sure, I know that there are always consequences to tampering with timelines and they were told not to affect change in the series’ canon, but are you reaaally going to tell me that the chance to SAVE ITACHI isn’t one of the literal only things that would actually be worth that risk to Sasuke?!
Sasuke went against everyone’s warnings against defecting in order to kill Itachi, and then threatened to take down Konoha in order to avenge him, but now that he knows the full and actual truth, he’s gonna, what, roll over and let his precious brother just die because of some nebulous consequences?!
(English Translation!)
Spider-man, swinging over: Mr. Uchihaaaa!
Shopping? What's for dinner tonight?
He dangles upside down: I like meat and ramen and stuff... Don't tell me you're having tomato pasta again!
He pokes Sasuke's hair: Hey! Are you listening?
Sasuke, fed up: You're loud.
Spider-man is revealed to be a beautiful Naruto ♡
Naruto: Yes?
Sasuke bristles and Naruto laughs before kissing him.
Sasuke, blushing: Really... You...
Naruto flushing too, before kissing him again: Uwahh... This could be a little dangerous.

still can’t believe itachi’s ultimate dream was to be a housewife that would just cook, raise sasuke, and tend to chickens, but his clan was just like “oh shit this four year old can do sick flips with a knife” and forced him to kill people. wild.
Damn! No wonder so many of them struggle with being parents! I’m not saying that all young parents are doomed to fail, but studies shows that having kids after more maturity dramatically increases the happiness of your family!
(That, and marrying the people you actually have the strongest feelings for, but that’s none of my business)
The thing that is truly insulting about them copying this scene is that there is NO WAY it holds the same emotional impact as the original.
Naruto crying out that he didn't need to be be saved, still so unable to Cope with the idea that somebody, let alone someone incredible like Sasuke, valued him enough to protect him, and Sasuke willing to die before yet another precious person was taken away before him, prickly to the very idea of a loudmouth like Naruto, but knowing nonetheless that Naruto is precious to him...
And then there was Haku in the background, one of the most heart-breaking 'villains' who understood what he was seeing, and even complimented Sasuke for his will, chillingly echoing that same behavior to save his own precious person...
It was a beautiful scene, and Boruto is just milking our memories with lukewarm reenactments with none of the heart : /
did they just-

Left Crow, flying in to land on Itachi’s arm: I’m home! Sasuke-kun was only eating tomatoes today too! Itachi: Hmm… Just as always then. Right Crow: Itachi! You are way too overprotective!

Everyone in the Ninja World decides to put aside their differences, come together, and finally get a consensus about who tops and who bottoms in the multi-faceted Sasuke-X-Naruto relationship! Arguments are had, and battles are fought; will they be able to ever see eye-to-eye, and sort out this very important issue? (Too bad there was no point in asking Naruto and Sasuke about it; they hadn’t even realized they were dating yet.)

you look great, naruto!
we as a community don’t appreciate this move enough. remember how everyone was telling ino she’d be making a mistake using the shintenshin no jutsu on her own, that it was only supposed to be used in the inoshikacho formation?? and what did she do? she faked an outburst, chopped off her ponytail (basically a yamanaka clan sign) tricked sakura and everyone else into thinking she missed her target and then seized the right opportunity to get into sakura’s head
like that was one of the smartest moves from the preliminaries; ino figured out a way to keep sakura at a distance (chouji’s role) AND immobilize her (shikamaru’s) and you know what not even he saw that coming and he’s supposed to be a genius
Random thought but I really liked how in the Original Naruto, all of the characters' forehead protectors were tied on - and by that I mean that they were each a single piece of cloth knotted, not a circle of fabric slipped over the body.
I liked the symbolism that Kishimoto was able to invoke when he had characters tying their head bands, or when their head bands slipped off in the heat of battle. It was all quite evocative in my opinion. It made for a lot of heated dialogue between Naruto and Sasuke, and even Sakura and Ino to a lesser extent. The scene where Sakura cuts her hair and her forehead protector flies off is a great one, plus the one where she and Ino both punch their protectors off. And of course the scene where Naruto looks at Sasuke's flung off forehead protector from when he tried to scratch his forehead after Sasuke said that there's no way Naruto would be able to land even a scratch on him, is iconic. And at the very end, the last battle, when Naruto's forehead protectors comes off too, it feels like they aren't shinobi anymore, they're just Naruto and Sasuke.
Aside from the asethetics of how without the ties, the forehead protectors look more like athletic headbands, I think it is sad that we won't get moments like that in Boruto where the characters have to contend with what it means to tie the protector around themselves and be Konoha shinobi. If you ask me, it speaks to how it's no longer important to consider how each character defines themselves in and out of the Konoha ninja framework, wearing or not wearing their forehead protector, in the Boruto universe.
Of course the tension in those scenes was also developed through much stronger character backgrounds which few (if any) Boruto new gen character has, but it seems strange to think the symbolic option is precluded entirely.
