Naruto and Boruto are widely acclaimed anime series known for their unique storytelling and vibrant worlds. One intriguing dark theory revolves around the conclusion of Naruto Shippuden and the subsequent beginning of Boruto.
Naruto Shippuden culminated in the Fourth Great Ninja War, a massive conflict involving all five nations and the Samurai to protect Naruto and Killer Bee, the last remaining Tailed Beast's jinchuuriki, from the Akatsuki's clutches. The war was extremely challenging, with Tobi (actually Obito) leading an army of Zetsus and resurrected Akatsuki members. The situation escalated when Madara Uchiha joined the battle, almost succeeding in casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi—a powerful genjutsu illusion.
The fan theory proposes that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was never "turned off," and the events in Boruto are actually Naruto's dream of an ideal world. The Infinite Tsukuyomi was introduced early in Naruto Shippuden by Itachi Uchiha, and its plan was to cast a genjutsu illusion on the entire world through the moon. Madara and Obito believed this would bring true peace, as everyone would live in a paradise-like illusion without any suffering.
Towards the end of the war, Madara, the jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, successfully cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping everyone in their ideal illusions. However, Sasuke managed to break free with his Rinnegan and helped others escape as well. They defeated Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki, seemingly saving the world.
The theory suggests that Sasuke might not have fully broken free from the illusion, implying that the world we see in Boruto is still part of the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This could explain why the shinobi world is now peaceful, advanced, and seemingly perfect. Naruto, as the Seventh Hokage, has the family he always desired.
The major criticism of Boruto is how different its world feels compared to Naruto's, being more peaceful and utopian. The theory proposes that this stark contrast could be explained if Boruto is indeed Naruto's dream within the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
However, this raises questions about the meaning of Boruto and Kawaki's story if it's all part of a simulation. Both characters become vessels for Otsutsukis, and if everything is an illusion created by the God Tree, then their existence might be more complicated than mere illusions. This would introduce a shocking plot twist, suggesting that the war against Madara never truly ended.
As fans continue to speculate and theorize, the idea of Boruto being Naruto's dream of an ideal world adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the series, leaving us wondering about the true nature of the shinobi world in Boruto.
