I thought I read that Naruto now has no chakra of his own and Kurama is dead, Boruto is DEAD, and aliens are responsible?

Haven't read it and never will, but you seriously think Bort is dead? The anime's namesake is dead?

Well, Kishimoto has never made a character look dead and then went LOL nevermind they're actually fine. Nope, not even once. Not ever in the course of two mangas. Definitely not.

Naruto fucked Hinata and Boruto was born. Hope that helps.

iirc, Naruto still has his own chakra, but he used a suicide move that ended up killing Kurama (tbf, Naruto believed that he would die too, but Kurama left out the part he'd survive since Naruto would maybe otherwise feel too guilty to use it) so that they could beat the alien invader guy, who's from the same race as Kaguya, who ended up being the final bad guy in Naruto

anyway, as far as Boruto goes, he's not dead, but he inherited Karma from one of the aliens after he killed it in the beginning of the series. Karma is basically a data backup for members of that alien race, so even after they die, they can eventually take over the host's body.

Boruto had used Karma too much, which added to his strength to help him beat his enemies, but it weakens his control over his own body, and if things don't change, the alien will eventually take his body over with Boruto's consciousness being gone for good.

I really wish everyone would stop calling the Kyuubi 'Kurama.' The names thing was such bullshit and we already knew it didn't mean anything because the Ichibi told us his name as soon as he awakened in Part 1.

Not in the least. The series jumped the shark in the War Arc, but that shark was eaten by a sea dragon, which was sucked into the Mariana Trench, which collapsed in a seaquake when the aliens were introduced.

So kinda like how if Naruto initially had used his tailed beast mode too much he would lose control and Kyuubi would have taken over his body?

Fuck sakes.

iirc, I think so.

but it looks like they might try to use the method that the alien is using to try to take over Boruto's body by having Boruto take over some other dude's body.

also, there's another character named Kawaki who was used as a guinea pig by an organization behind a lot of all this stuff, who ended up being the perfect vessel for one of the alien's Karma, but Naruto ended up saving him.

anyway, in the fight where Kyubi died and Sasuke lost one of his eyes (by a possessed Boruto), they were able to stall the alien who was trying to take over Kawaki's body until the alien died, so there might also be that method.

Nah, he's still got sage mode. He's still overpowered, just not as much. I guess this was an attempt to get power scaling back to something quasi reasonable.

He lost his rinnegan because it got stabbed, so he just has ems. Theoretically they could undo that to some degree by giving him that arm he never took (hashi cells) and letting that do something

Also, naruto should(?) Be able to call on the power of the other tailed beasts I think.

But both of those ideas are seemingly being ignored to powerscale the older generation to somewhere between the pain arc and mid war arc apparently. So far anyways.

Geez, this sounds like forced de-leveling to a pretty big degree. Why not just kill them off and do something else with the story? It'd take balls but if you do it right it could go somewhere. Not that I expect them to be able to pull it off though tbh.

Maybe in terms of strength, but in terms of looks, character, etc? Ehhh.

Well, she's more annoying, so she has that I guess.

Looks is subjective, but character and strength in Boruto at least is a definite yes

I mean, I know ninjas get a little leeway with "ninjutsu', but where exactly would we say it stopped?
We had a giant demon fox, fireballs, and huge water dragon jutsu early, so where did it exactly stop being ninja and become wizards?
Valley of the End fight maybe?

That was when they were 12. Pretty sure all four of the girls are now stay at home moms and hang out together like stay at home moms tend to do.

Boruto characters are entirely different than their Naruto counterparts.

Id say someone who is 16 is going to make drastically different decisions from someone who is 33, but thats just my opinion.

Not to mention being mean is probably the least worrisome thing a character can do in Naruto or Shippuden

Given it's an anime character, I think we are allowed to judge them harshly.

Basically they're still stronger than any member of the Akatsuki or any Kage in the original series, just not by such an exorbitant amount.

I wouldn't say Ino and Sakura are stay at home moms. Sakura is the head of the medical department. Ino runs a flower shop and is the head of the Sensory and Intelligence Division.
