The whole “BORUTO ISN’T CANON, IT’S JUST BORUTO GT” agenda is disrespectful to Kishimoto 😭 This is what happens when people read ONE headline saying: “Kishimoto says Boruto is Ikemoto’s manga”…and build an entire narrative around it. First of all…here is every reason Boruto is canon: • Boruto was introduced by Kishimoto in Chapter 700 of NARUTO itself • Kishimoto then wrote the screenplay for BORUTO: NARUTO THE MOVIE • He created the foundation of Boruto, Sarada and the new generation • Kishimoto wrote Naruto Gaiden, establishing Sarada’s story • He literally wrote the Mitsuki one-shot, where Orochimaru’s son chooses BORUTO as his “sun” • When Shueisha wanted the story to continue, Kishimoto recommended his assistant Ikemoto Kishimoto then gave Ikemoto the broad outline of Boruto’s story, before trusting him with the series, So he was just giving his long-time assistant credit.
