Shippers bragging about how much Boruto cares about Sarada like he didn't gamble her safety with his stupid ass plan in the first place. And right after she left the hospital at that! He didn't even bother making her an active part of the plan either. The pins were barely a safety net and he didn't bother thinking about the possibility they could be stolen. Her being kidnapped is on him (and her for not reacting tbh) but yay, he chased after her with a blank look on his face so he's in love with her!

He cared about her so much he didnt even ask about her eyes or how she’s feeling, SHE asked about HIS eye that was injured 3 years ago because she ‘never got to apologize’ which is bs because she had the moment he was slashed to apologize, after everyone went after Kawaki to apologize, and hell even when she and Mitsuki caught up with him to apologize and ask about his eye [since she had left him behind expecting him to go to the hospital] so her not having the change to apologize before is bullshit, yet the fact that SHE is asking about HIS injury that happened 3 whole years ago, while Boruto doesnt even ask about an injury she had a day ago and just been released from the hospital, is absolutely insane.
He cared about her so much he made her run for MILES afterwards while he flew, AFTER SHE WAS JUST RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. ‘But Code had claw marks all over the village’ yea and the same way he could’ve saw Boruto fly down and carry her outside the village, is the same way he saw Sarada look up and start running in that direction outside the village, Code could’ve followed them either way, all he had to do was see her look up, look at the direction she was looking, see Boruto, and followed them right to their new meeting spot. Get outta here with that excuse.
He cared about her so much he didnt meet her to warn her about Code and to be careful, but to tell her to let it happen, to get taken, just hold onto these pins and he’ll teleport to her, and if anything goes wrong, his backup plan? Just dont lose hope. So in the case of the pins getting taken away where Boruto cant get to her, which is exactly what happened, she’s pretty much supposed to just figure it out, she’s on her own now.
Her vs Code, Jura, and Hidari, 3 ppl she’s literally lost to already, she can totally take care of herself right? Foh.
Boruto left her with 3 ppl that if his plan failed she stood NO chance against solo, and he took that risk anyway, but yea, tell me how much he ‘cares’ about her and dont play about her safety.
In a choice between saving Sasuke sooner, and keeping his promise to keep Sarada safe, he chose Sasuke, and if putting her at risk helped him save him sooner, he was more willing to risk her life than risk Sasuke potentially dying. Even knowing that ISNT what Sasuke would want, that he’d prioritize keeping his daughter safe, BORUTO wanted to save Sasuke MORE than he wanted to keep Sarada safe, this is an indisputable fact atp.
He didn't even bother making her an active part of the plan either.
Cuz she wasnt intended to be, she was meant to be bait and thats exactly what she was, bait, only thing is Boruto wasnt expecting Code to yank it off the hook and get away with it but hey, he didnt exactly plan for in case that happened either did he? He just threw her on the hook and assumed Code would fall for his trap, and when he didnt, oh…well shet I didnt think that far ahead.
The pins were barely a safety net and he didn't bother thinking about the possibility they could be stolen.
I said this before and I’ll say it again…he wears them shets OPENLY practically ADVERTISING what they use is, it wasnt hard to figure out since obviously you’d expect to sense Boruto’s chakra on Boruto right? Nothin weird, but when he gives the pins to OTHER ppl with HIS chakra embedded in them, no shit Code or anyone else with chakra senses would take notice that hey, why is Boruto’s chakra comin off her? And immediately take notice of the pins being the source of it.
Its so danm stupid, because now thanks to noticing that, it wasnt rocket science to be like oooooh so thats how he teleports, thats why he always wears those things, it all makes sense now.
Like yea no shit, the pins he always wears on his clothes has his chakra, this girl suddenly has Boruto’s chakra coming off her, these pins are what has Boruto’s chakra on them, the only reason she would have these and why they would have his chakra is for him to get to her.
This is why it was beyond stupid of Boruto to make this plan, because on him, he atleast has the cover of its his chakra on his body, nothing out of the ordinary there.
But giving his chakra to Sarada? And thinking Code wouldnt notice? That was beyond stupid, of course he’d sense it, and of course he’d figure out thats what he uses to teleport and immediately know it was a reverse trap.
Listen Code is stupid on alot of things, but he’s not THAT danm stupid, I mean he was smart enough to target Sarada since she was seemingly an important person to him that he would come out of hiding for, he was smart enough to use the Mamushi invasion to plant claw marks all over the village while Kawaki was distracted and too busy to be able to go around shrinking them, he was smart enough to wait near Bug to try and ambush Boruto since he knew he was coming to save him, he was smart enough to retreat and go get some leverage once Boruto saw through his ambush, he was smart enough to not just hastily jump out at Sarada until she was alone with no witnesses.
So Code is dumb in alot of ways, but hes not brain dead stupid, and for Boruto to of witnessed all of that and actually think that Code was just gonna fall right into his trap perfectly was the REAL brain dead stupidity.
You NEVER underestimate your opponent, ESPECIALLY when your friends LIFE is on the line.
Her being kidnapped is on him (and her for not reacting tbh) but yay, he chased after her with a blank look on his face so he's in love with her!
This will never not be funny, because they act like him immediately going after her was some type of ultimate show of his love for her
Bruh, wtf was he SUPPOSED to do? Wait? Tf did they expect him to do? NOT go after Sarada immediately to call off the plan KK just TOLD him would fail? Was he supposed to just sit on his ass and not give her any heads up? He literally TOLD her to get kidnapped because he THOUGHT they would succeed, so why tf would he not do anything knowing that if Code pops up she’s not gonna fight back? Its so danm stupid.
This is as stupid as saying that because Kawaki was helping to take down the Mamushi’s that means he’s inlove with Ada since she was his target, so him killing the Mamushi’s is proof that he cares about and loves her 😭 like do you see what a huge stupid leap in logic this is? You cannot just claim a LOGICAL response to something = being inlove with someone
Like Inojin saving Hima’s life is not proof he was inlove with her, KK asking Inojin if he had romantic feelings for her, and him blushing and KK being like ok well your reaction is enough and I already know the answer, was the proof that he indeed does like her.
Having the logical response to something isnt proof of love, obviously we all know Boruto cares about Sarada, he doesnt want her life to be in danger, Boruto cares about all his friends and dont wan their lives in danger either, nobody is saying that Boruto doesnt give af about Sarada, of course he does.
What we are saying is he doesnt care ENOUGH, what we are saying is despite him caring about her, he didnt care enough about her not to put her life at risk with no back up plan, what we are saying is he doesnt care enough about her to even react in an actual seriously concerned way considering the situation, he reacted more strongly to Sasuke’s sword being touched than Sarada being taken WITH NO WAY FOR HIM TO GET TO HER.
Now you could say oh well we’ll see his true reaction next chapter, or well when her eye exploded he reacted strongly then so it doesnt matter, thats proof enough.
Bruh…her eye exploded and she passed out, Boruto didnt know wtf happened, she was unresponsive, completely limp, he’s NEVER seen that happen before, he didnt know WHAT happened, HOW hurt she was, IF she would be ok, and he had the reasonable response of freaking the hell out, I mean bro was being asked what happened and he was yelling ‘I DONT KNOW!!!’ And yall think this was out of some great concern just because it was her it happened to? Of course not, if KAwaki’s eye exploded suddenly out of nowhere and he passed out unresponsive, he’d freak out the exact same way cuz he doesnt know wtf happened or how bad his condition is, this is why when Hima healed Sarada, Boruto calmed down and handed her over to Konohamaru now that he knew she’d be ok.
It’d be weirder if he DIDNT freak out in that scenario, but now was the time for him to show a non general reaction he would have to anyone in that predicament, but a situation where its specifically SARADA it happened to BECAUSE of something HE suggested, danger that specifically HE put her in, a situation that happened specifically BECAUSE of him.
So if there was ever a time to show Sarada was a special case to him, now was that time, now was the time for him to panic not because of a situation that caught him off guard that he had no idea what was going on, but a situation where he knows EXACTLY whats going on and who’s to blame for it, himself.
So if she was so special to him, he should’ve been just as panicked if not MORE paniced for a situation that is completely unpredictable, sure KK knows and he can ask him, but BORUTO doesnt know atm, this is all sudden, unexpected, the danger is HIGH and he’s just been told its gonna fail, that Sarada is in serious danger now if he doesnt act now, but he’s too late, Sarada’s gone and he cant save her.
His reaction should’ve been nothing less than this
Even if he didnt cry, bro should’ve been shaking, in shock, just complete despair, hell even him screaming makes sense in this scenario because theres so much at play here
He got scared after seeing what happened when Bugs thorn bulb rotted, KK told him to burn it into his brain and he did, he panicked worrying of what could happen to Sasuke and got impatient, he wanted to find the shinju hideout NOW and get the bulb back to him asap, by any means necessary.
So KK gave him the idea, he didnt tell him to, but Boruto got the idea that since Code was gonna target Sarada, he could use that to find the shinju hideout and save Sasuke, he doesnt say this, but its no coincidence that right after seeing what happens when a thorn soul bulb rots that he immediately all of a sudden wants to find the shinju hideout and is willing to risk his friends life to do it.
So he has the fear and panic from seeing what happened to Bug in his mind, now thanks to KK he has an idea of how to prevent that for his master and how to save him sooner, use Sarada as bait in a hasty and extremely risky plan.
He’ll save Sasuke, save Sarada, he’ll reunite Sasuke with his daughter, and he’ll reunite with his master, and he’ll of officially kept his promise right?
Well no, not only did his plan fail and therefore his plan to save Sasuke, but he also cant save Sarada, therefore breaking his promise to his master to look after her for him, which he broke by even coming up with this plan to begin with BUT he had planned to save her so TECHNICALLY he was still gonna keep his promise right?
Well he didnt, he failed to save Sasuke, failed to protect Sarada, and he broke his promise to his master, and he broke his promise to Sarada too, and now Sarada is in serious danger and its ALL HIS FAULT.
I think now is probably the BEST possible time for Boruto to have this break down, like he deadass should’ve been in utter despair when he heard it would fail, he should’ve looked panicked, and when he teleported and saw her gone without the pins, it should’ve been complete despair.
His under reaction to this situation is extremely questionable, he has a more visceral response to just Sasuke’s sword being touched, than he does his childhood friend being taken because of a situation HE put her in.
Again, nobodys arguing he doesnt care about her, what we are saying is he doesnt care ENOUGH, and his under reaction about what happened to her is very strange and if anything, even MORE proof of him not being inlove with her, cuz he should’ve crashed out if thats the case.
Not saying all crashouts are because of romantic love, I mean Naruto crashed out over Sasuke several times, Im just saying if your gonna argue he’s inlove with her, then crashing out over this is the bare minimum.
