#(Also I'm willing to concede that Naruto would calm down a little in his 30s with kids but not THAT much)

[descendant-of-truth]

Every time I go back to watching Naruto I'm hit with intense whiplash as I'm reminded of just how extreme he is in comparison to Boruto, it's so funny

Like, okay. Boruto feels things very strongly, that much is true. He's kinda rude and complains a lot and he's a goofball. But he doesn't even come close to the sheer levels of abrasiveness that Naruto manages to achieve

Naruto gets provoked by the smallest of things. he's constantly angry stimming and having to be restrained from fighting people, he shouts at anything that moves, he has no sense of personal space and perhaps most importantly: he complains EXPONENTIALLY more than Boruto does. or at least, a lot more loudly

So now I have to ask. Why is the common attitude about these two that Boruto is the whiny brat between them. Naruto always makes a big show of complaining about every single part of a mission plan, about people's attitudes, about basically anything he doesn't like, and it's somehow his laid-back son that people find annoying??

If anything, I don't think Naruto is annoying enough in Boruto's time. Who is this Rational Man. The Naruto I know would be squatting on his Hokage desk and screaming at the paperwork every ten minutes or so
