Overview of the Timeskip
The Naruto timeskip occurs between the original series and its sequel, "Naruto: Shippuden." During this period, Naruto leaves the village to train with Jiraiya. The timeskip spans approximately 2-3 years, during which Naruto grows both physically and mentally [4:1]. He returns to the village at age 15 with improved skills and a more mature outlook
[3:1].
Character Development
During the timeskip, Naruto undergoes significant development. He learns new techniques, including the Giant Rasengan, and enhances his taijutsu and mindset [3:3]
[3:4]. His growth is not just in terms of jutsu but also in maturity and strategic thinking, as seen when he successfully catches the bell from Kakashi
[3:4]. Additionally, the timeskip allows for changes in character designs, which are often a highlight for fans
[3:5].
Impact on Plot
The timeskip serves as a narrative device to advance the plot and introduce new challenges. It marks a transition from Naruto's initial struggles to more complex conflicts involving Akatsuki and other powerful adversaries. The timeskip sets the stage for Naruto's increased involvement in high-stakes missions and battles, reflecting his growth and readiness to face greater threats [3:6].
Speculation and Expectations
Fans often speculate about what could have happened during the timeskip or potential additional timeskips. Some discussions suggest that a timeskip after the Pain Arc could have allowed for rebuilding the village and preparing for future conflicts [1:1]. However, others argue that delaying Obito's plans would not make sense given the weakened state of the villages and the urgency of his objectives
[1:2]
[1:6].
Comparison to Boruto Timeskip
The concept of a timeskip is revisited in "Boruto," where fans anticipate a similar transition based on opening scenes showing older versions of characters like Boruto and Kawaki [2:1]. While the Boruto timeskip has not yet occurred, it is expected to bring significant changes to character dynamics and plot developments, much like the original Naruto timeskip
[5:1]
[5:5].
I always saw the Pain Arc as a good chapter end on the whole Akatsuki Saga, Naruto finally being accepted by the village, etc. Maybe their could've been a page where Obito discusses with Zetsu about regrouping and prepping his plan for a year before starting the war?
No it wouldn't have made any sense for obito to wait a year now that he had acquired seven tailed beasts and the villages were heavily weakened.
It all comes down to how it's written.
In other words it's more about the execution than the idea itself. If the author can make the time skip feel compelling then sure. If not then meh
No, because why would Obito want someone who was able to fight Nagato down to deva path to have time to grow even stronger.
Permit their victory to defeat them. Let ‘em get comfortable and out of practice because they think shit is sweet during the peace, then pull up outta nowhere with the blicky
Don’t mount a full on frontal assault by revealing yourself and your intentions with an open declaration of war. Don’t say anything at all. Begin to stealthily dismantle all the supporting assets to the Kage like Shikamaru’s father, the sensory units and the healers. Use targeted Kamui abductions to take them out one by one. Space your attacks out so that there’s no concentrated focus on a common assailant or connective link between disappearances.
Plant false flags to get the most powerful jonin from the villages in conflict with each other so that they can be picked off outside of their walls, and ruin any chance of collaboration between the five nations. Get that eye back from Kakashi when he’s exhausted from team carrying out there against the Stone Village
Now, with Naruto properly demoralized and the infrastructure in shambles, pop out the Edo Jinchuuriki Squad and Gedo Mazo blicky sticky icky RUH
Nagato only died because 1. He had to fight the whole village before Naruto. And 2. He couldn’t go for the killing blows.
If Nagato wanted Naruto dead in a fair 1 v 1, it would’ve happened easily.
I’d have just killed Naruto and like the Avatar cycle, wait 30 years for the nine tails to reform or however long it took.
It makes sense that after losing Pain, something that Zetsu(who knows most of what there is to know) literally thought was impossible, that the villains wouldn’t waste time trying to make their next move before the heroes could have time to recover.
Yes, at least a year. Within that year a mini arc of rebuilding the village
I havent read the manga, so I have no idea what the time skip is? What is this time skip that people keep posting about?
It hasn't happened yet, but its about too, basically Boruto Sasuke and potentially others have to leave the village soon due to plot events
In the original series, Naruto left on a journey with Jiraya and returned 3-4 years later. And thus people speculate a similar situation will happen with Boruto to get to the age Boruto is seen in the "clickbait" scene. It may happen, it may not, but there's no proof it'll happen.
Oh ok thanx
People assume there will be a time skip based off the opening scene to the anime/manga with an older Kawaki and Boruto.
Just like the time skip between the original Naruto series and Shippuden.
Personally I could see them going a different route and filling out the “time skip” with more anime canon episodes.
>!I mean he became tall, DATTABAYO!<
Best part about Timeskips are how the character's uniforms change.
Your statement belongs in the tr- book of truth!
Yeah I'm super excited on how all the side characters are gonna look
But fr what did he learn after timeskip?�� besides the giant rasengan
the jutsu naruto can do now is what i expected him to do at the start of shippuden ����
not a jutsu but enhanced technique and mindset + better taijutsu
example: catching the bell from kakashi
It took him almost 3 years to not fall for a trap?
Boruto about to learn kenjutsu post timeskip.
And in the manga he probably gonna learn his entire anime arsenal.
Mf comes back with like 20 new jutsu’s imagine��
Maybe 10 years since Zabuza left the village. It ’s only 3 years and a few months since Land of Waves
It should be 4-5 years since Land of Waves.
OG Naruto is roughly less than a year, time skip is around 2, and Shippuden spans around 2 years.
Naruto is 12 in chapter 1, 13 by the end of OG.
Naruto returns to the village post time-skip at 15, and he's 17 the day that war ends.
It's a figure of speech. Suigetsu is bloodthirsty and prefers to chop people to pieces just as Zabuza who killed many during his graduation. Hence demon. Ten years means the last time Suigetsu and Kisame last met.
Ok makes sense I thought about it as a figure of speech but thought I was thinking too hard into it
They might’ve just been extremely literal saying reincarnation instead of the second coming of zabuza
Yea i had the thought it was but thought I was looking too deep into it
I think Suigetsu was Just so much Like Zabuza that they Just gave him this Nickname. Not that they really thought that he's the reincarnation of Zabuza.
Its a figure of speech and we use the same in sport today. We say so and so is the reincarnation of an okder footballer, despite that footballer still being alive
Why is Boruto fighting Kawaki when so far they have a stable relationship back when they were kids?
Why is the Village destroyed AGAIN!?
Where is everyone else? Especially those who are tied to Naruto/Boruto/Kawaki?
Is Himawari an actual ninja or not?
I want to see grown up Tsubaki.
I think that narudo is dead, imprisoned or under infinite tsukuyomi. Kawaki says "I'll send you were I sent the 7th Hokage" konoha is destroyed and I Doubt Naruto would go willingly to another place
They are fighting just like why naruto and sasuke fought. They were both really close and when one got jealous, things went crazy.
I am expecting a more manga-like art style, and better animation, by the time we get into the timeskip i would assume that boruto will get much more popular, dus making it earn more money and getting more quality made episodes. Besides the production, i would expect him to be more Sasuke than Naruto, he would probably stay the same like Naruto in a regular chillings, but in a fight he will not hesitate or try to talk no jutsu his opponent. Also, a weekly manga, better story telling and illustrations.
weekly manga is definitely not going to return, at the absolute limit they could do bi-weekly but even that'd be pushing it for ikemoto
Things could change really fast, i would be really surprised if they kept monthly manga even during timeskip, ikemoto could get a co-illustrator, or boruto manga could get a whole new illustrator capable of doing weekly manga, you never know. I just can't imagine manga not taking an advantage of boruto anime popularity by not making it release more often.
Sarada and Mitsuki would look lit with long hair
we lucky boruto is fav son in studio perriot + studio perriot never disappoint us in manga fight...we already see how crazy fight in kara arc...just imagine in timeskip
>Studio pierrot never disappoint us in manga fights
Let's be honest here, that's big cap
New character designs. I don't care about the plot anymore.
I expect the show to get..... "more positive rep" for one boruto's fight scenes are already god tier as far as the manga fight goes. But consistency is tad lacking, for ex look at sarada's fight and say iwabe's. The difference are way too wide in terms of quality. And second i predivt the show will get dark real quick like the war arc tension but this time its all focused on team 7 since the intro is hintung the leaf is destroyed. So ilk assume boruto and maybe kawaki as a villain woukd be like the "only" characyer for a long time, i had hope for the seri3s back when i started watching boruto during episode 34 airs. It has been early 200 episode since then and i personally think the show has gotten progressively better starting from episode 120 ( around jiraiya arc ) and this year proves it, we had major major figths with god tier animations all around. In the next few years boruto might finally be one of the "classic show" if they handle the anime right and not screw around i think the show can make a no man's sky like comeback
i loved the moment when sarada first used the chidori. it was super epic and i watched it a few times back to back
Happens after the final movie. Hinata confessed, happy ending Naruto asks her to marry him hoora...but then.
The Medusa Weapon gets dropped on the Elemental Nations. Naruto spends the entire 3,718 years essentially being tutored by Kurama, Hogoromo and Asura in his seal explaining he'll need to know how to rebuild society.
The jinchuriki of the world become essentially God's to the others, Naruto when he first gets unpetrified he uses the summoning jutsu and finds a new Toad who is Gamakichi's Grandson who's the same age as Gamamaru was in the show and explains the toads and the summons have survived in the spirit world but Lady Katsuyu has left a fragment of herself due to her being there when the petriffication happens so Tsunade is basically spent the years learning to be a Slug Sage along with Sakura.
Naruto has permanently merged with Kurama turning into a full Kitsune Sage [Think Orchimaru but fox themed]
For sake of the story all those years petrified to keep sane Hinata was being trained by Hogoromo's brother to Awaken a tenseigan.
It's now Naruto being the lucky one to get unpetrified first he's spending his time rebuilding and using everything his sensei taught him to rebuild the world.
Sounds very interesting 🙃
I would love to read that.
I only wonder what would happend with the Ōtsutsuki.
They came, they saw all the people petrified and couldn't cure it so they just screamed fuck it and left.
I might make the twist of the story that the Medusa Weapon was made by an anti Otsutsuki Alien or maybe it was developed by Otsutsuki who wanted to prevent the ten tails from forming.
Or it was something that Kaguya made in order to protect the people while the white Zetsus are fighting the rest of the Otsutsuki.
Yes this would leave Orochimaru as the only original person alive that whole time and was looking for ways to save the petrified people.
There’s more of a fulfilling story w/ Naruto mastering sage mode after Pain kills Jiraiya
Yea true, just wanted to know if people who found Naruto's progress lackluster after the time skip would now be happier.
Lackluster for the viewer but crucial to the story. Naruto prior to the time skip lacked the fundamentals of a good ninja. I think during the time skip, Jiraiya drilled in the basics into him so that when learning more difficult techniques as we see later, there is a solid base to build upon. Given the short amount of time Naruto had with Jiraiya, I would say they did a lot.
Remember that in comparison to say Sasuke or even Sakura, Naruto lacked a lot. For what he lacked, he made up for with pure power from the Kyuubi.
My 2 cents
I think a good middle ground would be Naruto being able to do the base rasengan with only one hand?
The training arc was great so I wouldn't like it to be removed
But time skip with naruto getting 40 cm taller is the only thing he ger from training is dull
True man, but he was with a freaking Sannin for 2-3 years, surely he might have trained him in something more, like sealing art/ninjutsu/few other elemantal jutsu for versatility etc
I saw him meating sasuke
No he was tought nothing of value
No, but he should've learned wind style in the meantime. The setup for the Rasenshuriken later on would've been much smoother.
Maybe not sage mode, but give Naruto something to show for his time skip. I get wanting to show sasuke outclass him, but they were both trained by saanin and it makes jaraiya look like a trash teacher.
Wasn't it mentioned that Jiraiya had to teach naruto the fundamental basics of taijutsu and chakra control? It was kinda like the Journey of Ashura, to first learn balance before going to the cool stuff
I don’t remember seeing Naruto do anything taijutsu / chakra control in early shippuden he didn’t do in pt 1. It also makes the later wind training, sage training, and kyuubi control training look like an ass pull. Like, he learned basics over two years but pulled out three massive power ups in a fraction of the time?
I would have been happy if Naruto would have been able to do a one-handed Rasengan and had coordinated group attacks with his Shadow Clones. The whole point of training with Jiraiya was correcting his messed up basics and making him have better chakra control. Having those would have shown his development perfectly.
i swear they were ramping up to it last year but never did it
Not really, hasn't even reached that point in the manga.
There has been fragments of it but it hasn’t truly began. I’m sure after the current arc it will begin though
People have been saying that for the last three arcs
I think either Ikemoto and Kodachi hyped up that it was coming soon...over 2 years ago. If the timeskip is happening within the next year they'll have to really rush into it and that's only going to cause more problems.
I'm convinced that the people begging for the timeskip to happen are doing so because they don't actually like the Boruto series in its current state and debatably never did (there's some middle ground that maybe they liked it at first but are getting tired that it's taking so long), only tolerating it since it's a necessary step from a narrative standpoint. Believing the timeskip will fix all the problems the series has as well as its image in the public anime space with nothing to base that self-assurance around.
A manga which hasn't sold people pre timeskip isn't going to magically change post timeskip with the same foundation. It's going to get even worse with the existing issues because post timeskip the power scaling will be even more broken than it currently is
September 20th, 2023
I have insider knowledge. Spread the word.
i dont think so if theyre doing the >!boruto tranformation into momoshiki!< now then it might be within the year at least
YOU'LL GET THE TIMESKIP WHEN YOU FIX THIS DAMN DOOR!
Reported for this being posted at least weekly of not more often
Looking for anime with a great time skip, where the characters aren't just grown up versions of themselves or more jaded, but things change in their dynamics because of time and events that transpired.
Which one pulled it off the best?
I really like the skips in Mushoku Tensei.
I do also, even reading the novels it was not like years upon years or suddenly everyone is different. You can see the directions characters go and the skip doesn't feel like a rewrite of the characters.
It's a great showcase of a time skip character mature but not 100% change their entire characters.
Frieren: Beyond Journeys End
Although the time skip happens early, a large part of the story is based on someone whose dynamics with the world has changed due to the passage of time.
Great example man. Seeing Frieren being with her old party, them gradually getting older, then finally meeting kid Fern and then adult Fern was a great emotional journey for sure.
The fact that they released the first four episodes on the same day really drove home how great the time skips were as well. We all basically watched a movie day one and set us up for the amazing journey ahead.
It's also full of mini time skips that continue to drive the point home. Scene changes and bam it's 6 months later in the same village without any elaboration.
Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song. The time skips are a core part of the anime. It's also a heavily underrated anime.
Edit: Underwatched. Fair does it
Disagree there. I would’ve liked some more time to have been spent on Thorfinns time with Askelaad. I know it wasn’t strictly necessary but it definitely would’ve made the latter half of season 2 more hard hitting.
Season 2 was an entirely different show than season 1, and IMO not for the better. They were both good but the time skip actively made the show a bit worse for me.
Currently watching Gurren Lugann and I really like the "inevitable folly of man" theme they have post time skip that ties together with the first part of the anime.
it's imo the best timeskip in any anime period
Kurama died and sasuke lost the rinnegan. At that point they already had a streak of losses but the nerf was kind of the icing on the cake that firmly told me: "these guys are done. Move on"
I couldn't do that so i just dropped the series altogether. Those two are still my boys and i firmly believe this sequel series should have been about them and not boruto but what's done is done.
Anyway, lately I've grown curious as to what exactly I've missed in the years since i dropped boruto. Just wondering if someone could give a brief summary of all the important bits that have happened since naruto and sasuke got nerfed. Did i drop the series before it got good? Or did i make the right choice lol? That's what I'm looking to find out
. Those two are still my boys and i firmly believe this sequel series should have been about them and not boruto but what's done is done.
It's called Boruto
!Anyways the last Kara member met the force ghost of Isshki and told him hes the inheritor of his will. He goes to some bunker and revives some people that were created by Amando. They were locked away because they were more powerful than Isshki. They're a brother and sister named Daemon and Ada. The little bro's power is super strength and reflecting attacks even thoughts. Older sis is boruto's age. She can see anything anywhere at anytime in real time. Also anyone near her is in love with her and will do anything she says except for family and otsutsuki. So her bro, kawakiki, and boruto are immune. She want's to date boruto and kawakiki because of this. She comes to konoha and lives there. Code is unable to actually harm anybody now but he has a smaller 10 tails to play with. Code likes Naruto so much that he imprisoned him and Hinata in another dimension. Ada accidentally activates a memory ability called Omniscience that makes everyone think Kawakiki was Naruto's son and Boruto was the adopted one. Everyone also thinks Naruto and Hinata are dead and blame boruto. Sarada and class president are immune to it. Everyone tries to kill Boruto. Sarada is so sad by this her ms awakens. Sarada begs Sasuke to protect Boruto despite Sasuke thinking Boruto is the killer. Sasuke sees MS so her sadness is real so ignores his judgement and memories and continues as Boruto's teacher on the run. Code turns the 10 tails into thousands of smaller 10 tails that look like frieza. Ada doesn't know how to undo Omniscience .Timeskip. Sasuke teaches Boruto everything he knows and fights some of those little 10 tails and turns into a tree. Boruto is also trained by Koji Kashin who also has the ability to see all possible futures so is able to teach boruto everything he could know. Several other people fight the little 10 tails and turn into trees including Moegi. Back at Code's home base, tree people are born and they want to eat some specific people. They seem peaceful but very powerful. The tree people look like the people turned into trees. The Moegi one is in love with Konohamaru. Class president is in love with Boruto. Kawakiki and Code are much weaker than Boruto.!<
I know. But prior to the nerfing they still had some great moments even if they weren't the focus. But anyway thanks for the summary. Sasuke turning into a tree is hilarious lol
Every comment on Reddit is getting removed for some reason
Kurama’s back in Himawari.
How did they explain it?
For me, who only knows about whats happening in Boruto from reddit, it seems like big ass pull
Himawari was born with a little bit of Kurama’s chakra. So when he died, he started secretly piecing himself back together again in her. He’s not his full size, but he’s alive and Himawari can still tap into his power. It actually looks pretty cool. Her hair turns into tails like Kushina
Man why can't people just accept that the series called Boruto won't have Naruto and Sasuke on the pedestal forever. It's made clear from the start.
Good call
Here's the quick of it. You don't like that sasuke was nerfed and lost his rinnegan, well now he's a tree and stuck like that for the forseeable future. You don't like that naruto was nerfed and lost kurama, well now he and hinata are in stasis in an alternate dimension and stuck like that for the forseeable future. You don't like how boruto is the mc, well he's still mc and basically stronger than every other ninja in konoha combined for the forseeable future.
