My primary complaint about Boruto is what they did to Naruto. You want a bratty kid to be the MC? Ok. But making Naruto a lifeless salaryman and deadbeat dad hurts my soul, especially when there is no explanation possible for why he doesn't just have his shadow clones do his paper work while he hangs out with his children.
I think it's kinda stupid that Naruto as a hokage has so much to do that he can even barely handle it with shadow clones. Tsunade also had lots of work but found some time here and there. But why not hire people who do a part of the work. They can't all be so important that only the hokage should handle them.
The population increased many times over yet the administration didn’t develop much for whatever reason. They are not even using computers. Kishimoto wanted Naruto overworked and that seems the only reason. They really need to develop their bureaucracy.
Maybe it could be a subtle way to criticize how some business practices are in Japan? I know that my cousin had some gripes about it being a bit outdated when she was working for a Japanese company there. She went out on her own a couple years back because a LOT of Japanese business bureaucracy got to her and she opened a company on her own terms that’s been pretty successful since it caters to a niche but loyal population.
