Well every clan besides the Uchiha were basically side-lined. Let alone the one's that were still alive.adult Hanabi is pretty cool...honestly the entire Hyuga clan is way underutilized
I mean a good example is when Shikamaru fought Hidan and was like: "This forest belongs to my clan so we will make sure no one ever finds you"
Really? Bro owns a forest?!
Lmao, damn Uchihas
Only like 3 ppl alive, yet that's all we ever talked about lol

Post Hashirama, and Tobirama, what happened to the senju? The only remnants they have left is Tsunade and some park.
And I mean having a park with your clan name is pretty cool, but come on, Hashirama could make parks in his sleep, plus as I stated some smaller clans own a bloody forest.

Hanabi really came out of nowhere for me. It's because I was always coming in and out of the series due to school so I never really had a chance to see her.
Of course that all changed when I saw The Last and Hanabi had a more central role to the plot.
Now I really like her in Boruto! She's really awesome! She acts like a big sister to Boruto.

I wonder if you look at Hanabi and then you look at that Hinata gif above, which would you think is older? lol
I preferred Hinata's chapter 700 style or just maybe some wardrobe change quite honestly.
Sometimes she doesn't look like a kid though.

I remember being on a Naruto forum (I forget the name, I wonder if they're still up) and people were literally bending over backwards to explain how the whole scene wasn't a complete asspull

It makes sense. Summon, genjutsu, eat will take a few seconds.
Thats because Kishi was the writer

Can someone explain to me this about the Great Snake escape. I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm confused at even the source material's justification for it.
The main thing that is whack for me honestly is just the time factor of how fast he did all of that when we see him fading in the light of the explosion. The being low on chakra thing doesn't bother me much because the trope of somehow conjuring up a bit more energy out of desperation in these situations seems to be common enough.
But the rest I don't quite get. Here's what I think I got.
Many summons like Manda live in a different dimension until they get summoned. Sasuke summoned the snake and unsummoned him while he was inside so that he went back to the summon dimension with him... But why would he need to jump inside his mouth? Couldn't he just like grab on to him or something? If not, why would Sasuke disappear with the summon just because he went inside his mouth? Wouldn't the summon disappear without and leave Sasuke behind anyway?

He needed to go inside to protect him from the blast. Remember the blast still killed Manda. It wasn't completely instant, so if he was outside he still would've got fried.
Everything else was still ridiculous though lol. He had time to summon Manda, put him under a spell, climb inside him and de-summon him with no chakra in a couple seconds.

I feel like instead of climbing inside him he should have just desummoned right away and he probably wouldn't have gotten hit in the first place
But the whole time thing makes no sense

I don't even remember how I felt about that whole Manda thing. I was probably fine with it? Maybe indifferent? Well, other than thinking Sasuke was a dick for doing that. So to hear that it was apparently this thing that irked a lot of people in terms of it not making much sense is pretty humorous to me.

Sasuke momentarily tapped into the Speed Force during the Great Snake Escape, quite simple really.

That fight is my favorite fight in the series probably though even with the weird ending. It's definitely top 3.

That would actually make more sense that the explanation they gave at the time.
It's funny looking back at it now. But at that time Sasuke was getting seriously hyped in the series and it was really pissing people off. It felt like every chapter he'd bust out some new shit that made Naruto look like a joke in comparison. Summons, snakes, moving at lightspeed, putting people under illusions... meanwhile all Naruto got after the timeskip was a bigger rasengan.

it would've made more sense of Tobi did Kamui to him or the explosion but they never overly lead it on to the readers that kamui actually happened until post the tobi reveal

It does make sense. Light is not the damaging factor: thats the heat and force, to which light always comes first. People seem to not understand this. Sasuke getting consumed by the light is not him getting hurt.
The low on chakra is again another misunderstanding. To put it bluntly that was Deidara's assumption. Sasuke did not respond.
Summoned, genjutsu to eat him and protect him from initial damage, then desummon out to escape. If he had just desummoned he would of gotten hit with the damage. Thats why Manda gets roasted and dies.
The whole thing makes a lot of sense and is just another example of how a lack of comprehension lead to numerous "criticisms".

If it made a lot of sense people wouldn't have been questioning it since we witnessed it.

This is amazing.
The point isn't that we received answers, the problem lies in the fact that the answers don't make sense.

Again this has been dispelled. Are some of you even reading posts?
1) Sasuke was out of chakra - False, those were Deidara's assumptions, to which he was wrong earlier in the fight as well. He isn't even a sensory type either.
2) Sasuke had no time, the explosions already got to him - false, that was its light and the whole procedure would take seconds (summoning and desummoning is near instantaneous, genjustu is simply an eye look and Manda swallowing Sasuke is a few seconds, Manda being hit after swallowing)
3) It came out of nowhere - all these techniques were shown well before

I remember being totally indifferent to Manda as a "character."
Also, in hindsight, it's hilarious that the snake dude was probably just like, sitting down to dinner with the brood, or something and suddenly *poof* "Where am-" *dead.*

More canon proof that SasuNaru was the original end goal, sasusaku was such a last and split second decision that the writers are struggling with handling it. Sasuke talks way longer with natuto on their late night deep conversations than with sakura.

Anyway I did enjoy this episode
-Some highlights were:
Sarada being the cook of the family (Boruto needs to learn how to cook, even his Lil sis can do it
Boruto knowing how to fish and having pride for his fishing hobby
Sakura being a mother, the letter she wrote
And Chou Chou being still awesome
-Some world building stuff like:
The international market were immigrants opened shops from other countries
Konoha being so vast that it encompasses more smaller villages from its surroundings
