<p>Hard to believe, but has the island nation of Japan been cranking out Naruto cartoons for almost twenty years? Well…BELIEVE IT! (Sorry, it was right there.) There was first the long-running original, then the even longer-running and non-canon Shippuden, and finally the Next Generation adventures of Boruto.</p>

Whoa, Naruto's been part of our lives for two decades now? That's like a jutsu-level milestone. But these delayed anniversary episodes are like a smoke bomb of disappointment. I was gearing up for some fresh ninja action, and now I'm in limbo? Quality matters, I get it, but why not ease the pain with a teaser or two? Those Boruto reruns will have to keep me company, but Studio Pierrot, please don't keep us hanging for too long!
 
Oh man, Naruto! I used to be the ultimate fan, believe it. I mean, the early episodes were pure gold, following Naruto's journey from an outcast to a hero was just incredible. But then, the fillers started pouring in like a never-ending Genjutsu. More filler episodes than actual plot? It drove me nuts. I hung on, hoping to see the real action, but it felt like I was drowning in fluff.

And then came Shippuden, which started off strong, but even there, the fillers lurked around every corner. I grit my teeth through them, hoping for those climactic canon moments. But it got to a point where even defeating Princess Kaguya didn't feel like an epic ending to me. That's where I called it quits, because to me, that was the true finale.

When I heard about Boruto, I was skeptical. And watching it? It just didn't capture the magic that Naruto had. The characters, the story – it felt lackluster. I couldn't shake off the disappointment, and honestly, it just didn't feel worthy of carrying on Naruto's legacy. So there you have it, my journey with Naruto ended with Princess Kaguya, and nothing since has managed to change my mind.
 
Oh, dude, let me tell you – I was there from day one, a Naruto fan through and through, since the '90s! From his underdog beginnings to his epic battles, I was hooked. And when Shippuden took us deeper into his world, man, those were some legendary moments. When Naruto finally found his way and ended up with Hinata, I was over the moon. It was like a dream come true for a long-time fan like me.
 
Huge fan of Naruto until Boruto came. I tried, I really did. But that kid, Naruto's son, ugh. Total brat toxicity. It's like he's taken all the wrong lessons from his dad's legacy. I just couldn't get past how entitled he seemed. And it's a shame, you know? 'Cause I loved Naruto's journey, and I wanted to see that spirit carried on. But Boruto just didn't live up to that for me. So, I'm sticking to my memories of Naruto's original adventures, from his ninja way to his ultimate victory. That's where the magic truly lies for me
 
Naruto's been part of my life for so long, it's like it's in my bones. If I ever pass away, I want it to be a ninja-style farewell, all Naruto-themed. Imagine this: my family and friends all gathered, talking about the cool adventures, the laughs, and the tears. And as they send me off on my final journey, playing "Wind" by Akiboshi, that song that's like Naruto's journey, the ups and downs. That song really speaks to me, and I'd want it there – a reminder that the ninja way keeps on going, even at the end.
 
Naruto's 20th anniversary hitting us like a ton of shurikens, huh? Can't believe it's been that long.
 
Back when I was a little kid, me and my brothers used to get all excited about Naruto episodes. We'd grab a marker and draw those whiskers on our cheeks, trying to be as cool as Naruto himself! But here's the twist – our mom would walk in, see us with these marker whiskers, and get really mad. She'd be like, "What did you boys do?!" We'd get in trouble for using permanent markers on our faces, and we definitely learned our lesson. But you know what? Those whiskers were totally worth it for the ninja swagger and the fun times we had watching Naruto together.
 
During my teens, Naruto was my hero. I was so into it that I dyed my hair blonde, just like him. Sure, some people laughed, but it felt like wearing a piece of Naruto's spirit. It was worth it, you know? It reminded me to be true to myself, even if I stood out and look stupid.
 
Back when I was a kid, Sakura used to drive me up the wall. Seriously, she was always knocking Naruto around and making him look like a total joke. It got on my nerves big time. I used to channel that frustration into writing fanfics where she died brutal deaths. I couldn't stand her, found her annoying and useless.

But here's the crazy part – fast forward to Boruto, and her daughter's my absolute favorite character.
