Hear me out, since both his strongest students are captured, what if Kakashi made a return with somsome new techniques under his belt. Because frankly we need to have more older characters just like in Naruto. Even in war arc they needed the help of others. How would you guys bring him back?
Will Kakashi finally make a Manga entry in Two blue vortex?
SpoilerManga Spoilers / TheoryThis would be a dream come true. Sadly if this was the case I think it would’ve happened by now
What if it did?!?
It easily could’ve during the timeskip. Sarada could’ve gone to kakashi to learn more about her sharingan considering sasuke was gone and kakashi was the next person who knows the most about the dojutsu. I would love for kakashi to become an advisor to shikamaru but I feel like if they were going to go down that route they would’ve already rather than using those 2 old ass elders
I was hoping that he and Sakura were training Sarada
It could still be a possibility considering she must’ve been doing something for the past 3 years
"mmmm... acceptable!~"
I seriously hope so - would feel like a waste to keep someone like him out of the story.
A couple of years ago in an interview, Ikemoto did hint that Kakashi has a role to play in the TS. Obviously, they could have scrapped the idea since Kishi took over but Ikemoto also said that Sasuke & Sarada would have an 'interesting future', which looks to be coming true with the Hidari situation.
In terms of what he will do, I'm not too sure. The first thing that comes to mind is that he might have been training Sarada in the TS due to being compatible with her. His fighting style is similar to Sarada, he has experience with the Mangekyo which he could help her with and He was a former hokage which aligns with Sarada's goal.
This is just an assumption though and there are probably other avenues they can take with his character.
Bro is retired just accept it. Let him read his porn in peace
He may aswell be in the same dimension as naruto at this point. The writers got him in stasis because they dunno what to do with his character

hell nah we dont do that around here. Side charachters? What are those :4545:
I'm sorry but the manga has way too little pages and way too many characters for mcs from Naruto to randomly start taking screentime. The characters we need focus on are Himawari, Konohamaru, Boruto, Sarada, Eida, Daemon, Kawaki, Mitsuki, Sumire, Shikamaru, Code, and the Shinju.
Edit: Also Team 10
I think we need more of Orochimaru as well
No
Why would he
No. The only reason people expect him to is because of an outdated statement from Ikemoto back when Kodachi was scripting Boruto. Plans change. Stories don't always follow their initial outline.
If a character didn't matter in the first 87 chapters, they're not gonna magically show up and be important now.
My guy have you read One Piece? Or even OG Naruto?
Kiahimoto more than likely has different plans and isn't going to use Kakashi his entire character arc is done.
Not arguing that just pointing out that because we are 87 chaps in doesn’t mean we won’t be reintroduced/introduced to new important characters
I love kakashi but given it’s a monthly manga, I feel the space is limited with all the growing characters. The current gen needs to be expanded on more as compared to the old gen. Though people can always watch the anime for bits of kakashi.
Is Boruto the only manga pr book people have ever read here or something? What does it being monthly have to do with anything lmao. Why do y’all always say this whenever a glaring problem in the story is pointed out?
Its release schedule has nothing to do with the content of the story
Boruto is definitely the only manga a lot of people here have read.
The monthly excuse gets even more pathetic when the literal mangaka said he likes Monthly over weekly
We have to wait long enough in between each chapter already that shoehorning old characters in is going to make the story take even longer than it already is. The story is already taking forever because of the release schedule. Dealing with old characters is just going to make it worse.
No that just means the writer isn’t skilled enough to include multiple characters and subplots. It’s “shoe horning” when a complain is made about why certain people or places that would be beneficial to the story and readers enjoyment aren’t in the story that would but it’s “peak fiction, and we are eating good!” Ikemoto uses entire pages of just one panel of Mitsuki with his baggy clothes just standing there
Dragon Ball just had an arc with only old cast involved, looks like 'Uhh MonThLy mAngA' wasn't an excuse to write good story
So true brother
Man I swear it’s so hard to actually discuss Boruto here. Whenever you try and bring up something outside of the echo chamber it’s all ways
“Nope that’s impossible to change, Boruto is fine the way it is”
“Nope sorry Boruto is monthly therefore nothing in the story can be changed”
Like holy crap, is this not the definition of self delusion?
They’re all trying to keep this barrier in their minds that since Boruto is MoNTHLY, then that means there can be no subplots, side characters, or overarching writing.

Echo chamber filled with 15 year old kids, so whenever you write anything critical you get 'bro 💀💀' and other TikToky replies with emojis. But its alright, manga sales are at all time low, and history will judge manga.
Why are you in a chamber filled with 15 year old kids? Says more about you no. 🫢
Y’all are literally not supposed to on this site.
Yeah and you are suppose to be in your mommy’s basement crying Boruto bad 🤣
Are you talking about the Cell Max arc?Cause I literally stopped reading because it was so boring waiting for the next issue. Plus Dragon Ball has always focused on the same core characters, that is nothing new. They have yet to do any passing of the torch in that story. Every time they try they have to backtrack and focus on Goku and Vegeta. I’ll go back later this year and read it but it was boring me to tears waiting for it to progress.
It is a shame that most of the manga I like these days are either monthly or on hiatus. Hunter X Hunter, World Trigger, Black Clover, DB Super, Gangsta. Only things I can look forward to reading regularly is Tower of God and The Gamer.

They literally added Broly & Crew in last arc xd
They have yet to do any passing of the torch in that story.
If they did it like it was done in Boruto - maybe its better that story still revolves around Goku & Vegeta

Maybe go outside or work on your attention span if monthly manga is a problem for you
Broly been a fan favorite character since his first movie back in the day no surprise they got around to adding him to the main story. They also didn’t introduce him in the manga they did it in a movie, and the manga has not focused on his character at all. He has just been watching the other Saiyans fight. Goku and Vegeta are still the center of the show and always have been. If they had passed the torch in DB as well as they have in Boruto they wouldn’t have had to revive Goku.
How would including Kakashi be beneficial to the story at all and not just useless fan service? The dude is retired and in a wheelchair. He died once already, let the dude rest. There are enough interesting characters in the story already that you don’t need to drag Kakashi back into it. I would rather and Ino-Shika-Cho subplot, or something focused on Daemon and Eida over more Kakashi. With the pace things are going let’s just get to the endgame already.

Mf what are you talking about. Kakashi is not a wheel chair. Lmao
Huh? He just explained what it would do. Do you have reading comprehension’s issues? With the monthly release it’s not gonna be 700 chapters long. So obviously the focus needs to be more on current gen. What an idiotic response.
Except it wouldn’t do that at all. You people are so used to mediocrity that you cannot fathom Boruto being any better than what it currently it is. That’s the problem here
Which brings me back to my point that it seems Boruto deadass the only book/manga that people here have only read. Let alone a monthly released one
You people are so used to mediocrity that you cannot fathom Boruto being any better than what it currently it is. That’s the problem here
weird elitist mindset. maybe people genuinely believe this isn't a mediocre series? your reasoning for not liking the series is subjective and not everyone is going to agree with you. how does that equate to being used to mediocrity?
What the hell are you blabbing about. You got no counter point so you spout up any shit😂 screaming like an idiot- Boruto bad blah blah. No one is interested get outta here.
You laughing but made no points shit like that kills me. I really think your thought process is shared in this sub
You’re such a weirdo, I perfectly addressed everything you said and you reply back like a spoiled brat who can’t handle firm of conversation that’s not appeasing to them
Right using words like weirdo and spoiled brat is handling the conversation very well 😂 you’re literal argument was Boruto bad. Grow up and get a life. It was anything but conversation. It was a stupid ass rant nothing else.
I’m talking on your level now since this seems the way you communicate. Shall I add a couple of emojis in my response next?
Sure keep justifying it to yourself.
You’re so weird
Space isn’t limited because it’s monthly, the Boruto manga is just way too slow. Look at how much content Oda puts in a One piece chapter (15 pages avg) vs how much Ikemoto/Kishimoto puts in a Boruto chapter
For a monthly standard it is a complete flop. The point of monthly is to enrich the story with all the time and resources you have.
Ikemoto can barely draw which is why he didn't go for weekly when he said in the interview that even for monthly, he struggled to meet the deadline with his laziness so really you can't imagine how much worse it could have been if Ikemoto went for weekly.
Therefore, if the boruto manga is really held down because of monthly, then How come other titles like OPM, AOT, Blue Exorcist, FMA, Vinland Saga, Kingdom poured so much content with more depths and progressions with the story and is able to pull it off with multiple characters and subplots?
The reason why Boruto manga is a complete hollow or "slow" as you put it is because of Ikemoto is very incompetent of doing his job.
It's that simple. It's the reason why people are coping so hard for Kishimoto return and yet Kishi was reluctant to continue when he wrote the draft on a napkin in 5 minutes as a story outline while the rest is an Ikemoto fanfic and neither of them care about this manga.
One piece has been running for over 20 years- they can include as much as they want in the story. My point is we know Boruto won’t be that long so they have to make decisions on what is to be included in the story and what not.
And there is no point in comparing Oda with kishi/ike. Everyone has their own artstyle.
Not talking about artstyle though, I’m talking about the pacing. The point is if One piece and other mangas can pack in a lot in just 15 pages then Boruto can too, they have 40 pages to work with but don’t take advantage of. Also since Kishimoto took over there’s a chance what Kodachi said about it ending in 30 volumes not being true anymore
I get where you are coming from the pacing point of view since I’ve felt this earlier as well but currently as the manga is I feel they should focus on building up the current gen.
Yea as much as I want more from the older characters and it doe2make sense not to at least show them, "Boruto" struggles to give time for its own characters as it is.
Hima is also the daughter of Naruto, yet she barely gets to do anything. Mitsuki is supposed to be one of the main characters, yet he feels like a side character. Kawaki, the guy who was supposed to be the rival/brother, well he was introduced so late into the story that his whole bond with the characters feel forced at times.
For the longest the main cast in boruto has been lacking it's prominently has been boruto Naruto and Sasuke and kawaki we haven't seen the new Gen put in work or show up we don't see the old Gen do anything even though they're more powerful. The way Naruto and Sasuke put boruto into battles or how he gets involved is the same treatment and experice Sarada needs
Would be cool if he took over/revived the Anbu Black Ops and has his own squad or something of the sort. Off topic but I’m really hoping that Orochimaru, Kabuto & the Uchiha orphans will play a role in 2BV

Uhhh... that doesn't make any sense, man. Sasuke is literally the reincarnation of Indra, which means he's supposedly has Indra's Six Paths Chakra flowing inside him, and he was also affected.
Kakashi is benched right now. Plain and simple.
What if Kishimoto says “nah not a woman. He gets a pass.”
(Sasuke is Naruto’s girlfriend for reference. Sarada is a girl for reference.)
Six Paths Chakra is not a requirement to be not affected by Omnipotence. Being Otsutsuki is a requirement. Even not-fully converted Code was affected. If anything - similar case like Sasuke. Trusting logic and guts before anything, which actually fits Kakashi.
Honestly I was high af when I wrote that comment and now I just feel stupid lmao
Don't worry, it happens. ;)
yes hopefully
the legend of the Naruto gen
need to have some screentime
like Kakashi Kamui still useful here
or Rock Lee , Shino not yet showcase their full potential
kakashi has no kamui but okay dude
tbh unless boruto goes weekly i dont see it being anything promising. Prolly gonna end up alright but not noteworthy which is unfortunate since it has a lot of potential lore and story wise if done well.
Didn't actually foreshadowed by Boruto using purple lightning that somehow kakashi is involved? Probably he and Kashin Koji already involved in training Boruto during time skips
Bro been knew purple lightning it's stated. Even mitsuki used it in the Manga against ao
What if he was dead?
Fuck no
Kakashi has every reason to be be chasing Boruto and Sasuke along with the “ANBU” and actually going for the kill because he vouched for Sasuke heavily after the war and would feel betrayed, (but would understand them eventually ). But they just forgot about all this entirely like it wouldn’t be compelling to read or watch 🤷🏾♂️
Maybe sooner or later
I hope so. I also want to see Tsunade.
Well, if he doesn't, the anime will fix that.
Nope, unless they want to include him for fanservice and make him Sarada's mentor, including him is pointless.
