This recurring detail continued until Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
There is a recurring detail in the Naruto group photos that was pointed out by fans of the series: the man placed on the right in their Genin team’s photo is the one who eventually became Hokage. The trend of the author predicts the next Hokage even beyond Naruto, since in the first chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Shikamaru was appointed Hokage during Naruto’s absence. therefore, Tsunade became the fifth Hokage, Kakashi the sixth, Naruto the seventh, and Shikamaru the eighth..
While it’s probably a coincidence, it could also be a clue from Naruto’s creator Masashi Kishimoto, given the special meaning behind the team’s photo. Another similarity between the four photos is that each mentor sacrifices and dies tragically in the story. Sarutobi sacrificed to seal Orochimaru’s arms and save the village; Minato to seal the nine-tailed fox; Asum to protect his students from Hidan; And Kakashi died for depleting his chakra reserve by overusing his jutsu Kamui to save Choji during Pain’s assault. However, his soul was brought back by the Rine Tensei.
The Genin team photo has a special memory for the characters of Naruto
The first appearance of these photos was in Naruto Chapter #16.
The cover of Naruto Chapter 16 features behind Kakashi’s bed two framed photos of Team 7 and Team Minato. This was not only the first time the images appeared in the story, but also the first look at Kakashi’s teammates, Obito, Rin and Minato, who played major roles in the manga, with Rin as a catalyst for Obito becoming an antagonist. And Minato. Being the fourth Hokage and father of Naruto. This shows that Kishimoto planned their roles from the beginning and also showed how much Kakashi valued both his previous and current team by keeping the photos close to him.
These photos have been shown several times throughout history as a way to remember their beginnings as Team 7 when they were simply an uneven group. An example of this is Naruto fondly remembering the moment they took the photo after failing to bring Sasuke back in Naruto: Shippuden Episode #53. Also, Kakashi has a photo of Team 7 on his desk during his time as Hokage, just like Naruto in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
Will the trend continue with Boruto’s Team 7?
The new Team 7 recreates the photo in Boruto Episode #227.
While the Hokage prediction may just be accidental, it also makes many fans wonder if the trend will continue into the next generation. in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Episode #227, the new Team 7 recreates the iconic photo, but this time the one on the right is Boruto. However, Boruto stated that he has no intention of becoming Hokage since he wants to follow his own path in the future.
This means that Sarada can become the next Hokage since it is not only her dream, but she also has the ability and leadership skills and was the first to become Chanin of the group. But this is uncertain, as the story teases that Konoha will be destroyed at some point in the future. nevertheless, The story of Naruto is full of symbolism and small details that fans continue to findWhich makes the series even more interesting and shows why it is one of the most iconic shÅn manga of all time.
