thanks, glad you liked it~

Agreed. Kurama could always use some more arts!
And besides, I may or may not have saved your old kurama stuffs :3

Ninja's rely on their own power in general in some way while doing missions in the naruto universe. It's expected that they'd at least know a little ninjutsu and genjutsu. The tool Boruto used let him use any jutsu that was stored inside of it as many times as he wanted technically. While it would be fair enough out on missions, they were doing the Chunnin exams. It would be like one of the students taking a test while having a copy of the awnsers with him.
Some would say that it's hypocritical of Naruto to make that call though, seeing as he often uses the power of a nine tailed demon fox, however it was placed inside him from birth and if removed, he dies, so Kurama's powers are just as much Naruto's power at that point. It's something that's part of him, and he's trained to use it.

That tool uses 'sealed' jutsu that do not use the users chakra. The user doesn't need to know the jutsu nor does it require chakra control.
While Naruto has extra chakra he still needs to use the jutsu himself and has to properly control said chakra. It would depend on the rules whether they allow that, even if it was forbidden it'd likely be a different rule.
The main problem is that it's basically a live combat test testing practival use of nin-, gen- and taijutsu. So Boruto using a tool that allowes him to use jutsu he can't use himself defeats the point of the test.
Additionally if I understood how that thing works right, it needs each of the jutsu to be used by someone and then sealed in it. So if you allowed that tool to be used for tests like this it might very well result in the next gen of ninjas skill to decrease. So if a generation comes that totally relies on those things, they'll eventually no longer be able to use them to bolster their strength with it, as there would be no one that could make seal new high tier jutsu to use. (Though I have no idea if that was actually considered by the writers)

And while it is unknown if Kurama's presence caused an increase in Naruto's chakra (and reduce his control), being a jinchuriki did cause Naruto to develop an attitude with behaviors that disrupted his education. Then there is the possibility that his early development was neglected by others for the same reason.

However the biggest issue with Boruto using the device was that it was banned in the first place, and only under development in Konoah. If allowed the device would be a tremendous advantage for Konoha's teams. Boruto's use of the device was for a technique that he hadn't achieved himself and an other in a situation where he was unable to use one of his own because of a shadow bind technique.

in response to the "unknown if Kurama caused an increase in Naruto's chakra" part, i think its said in the anime that the Uzumaki's naturally have more chakra than the average ninja but im sure Kurama possibly played a part in Naruto's case, being a backup source of chakra if you think about it in a way

KURAMA!! :D
Always is nice to see more art of this big foxo, specially from you~ <3

Hehe, glad you enjoyed it~

Seeing you draw Kurama is always a blessing , amazing drawing as always dude

thanks a lot, big grumpfox is always fun to draw~

that's awesome! :D

hehe, thanks~

Naruto is a damn hypocrite x)

he's been through war, people get messed up after that x3

Naruto, the Self-Made Hypocrite, but now in artwork form

I actually clicked on that video, but only to get the summarized version from the comment section x3

opps

hehe~

Welp, someone's getting nommed o.o

maaaaybe~

Yeah, Naruto needs to explore his inner demons...of course then the roles would get reversed lol.

lulz

I love Kurama <3

Everyone does~

Naruto's hypocrisy in one pic >3>


Also, always love to see you draw Kurama >W<

Hehe, thanks a lot. Love drawing him as well~

Always happy to see your works x3

if you take out all the filler
naruto is like only 20 episodes long

unrelated, but correct x3

I look forward to future Kurama noms

I have a kurama nom sketch in the workings, just don't know when I'll have the time right now x3

Naruto, you done fucked up

he done goofed xd

Oh that’s genius. Way to go Kurama. I may not like Boruto, but that’s perfect

Kurama is awesome. The main reason I love Naruto

I don't like Boruto either, very little about the show is either memorable or enjoyable

thanks for letting me know

Don’t tell the fox demon that he doesn’t count.

I don’t watch either series, but I thought “cheating” was permitted in their exams as long as they don’t get caught.

Gotta say, though, really like Kuramas design.

Cheating takes care and effort, is the thing. Boruto has basically stolen the answer sheet AND gotten someone else to take his test for him. As if he's too good to get muddy like everyone else.

never mess with big fluffs ^^ important rule^^

jap hab ich dem mauz beigebracht ^.^

bedeutet nur nicht das ich, dass nicht dennoch weiterhin mache xD

Being manhandled by Kurama though <3 Mmhh

big squishy paws~

Ohhhh right, Naruto fought and won against Neji because he was a jinchuriki and he wasn't disqualified for that LMAO

rip neji, they had him silenced because he was right after all xd

hated the ending of naruto, hate boruto as a series (and the spoiled bratty shit) lol XD

Naruto is called "the biggest scumbag" in japan for a reason.

I never really saw the ending to naruto, because at some point the fillers just ripped me out of the story too much.
And boruto is bad even without fillers x3

i stuck with the manga. the anime made it 10 times worse XD

I guess it's kinda the equivalent of bringing a gun to the exam x3 A bit much for a controlled environment with rules and all.

More kurama is always welcome in my book!

more is always better~

More Kurama is always a welcome treat.

world needs more big grumpfox~

mind blown x3

actually, he disqualified him for using a tool he forbid him to use and that requires no chakra. For Naruto, the nine-tailed fox wouldn't manifest unless his life was in danger at first (( due to the seal)) and as the seal weakened, it manifested with anger. Their life forces were bonded together, later expanded upon in shippuden, where the fox could not survive with its essence torn in half or something like that

too technical for me xd

I think Naruto actually owned up to it and befriended Kurama though. It's not that he >didn't know it was bad<, it's that he >did< know it was bad and wanted to prevent it from happening again. I don't think it's hypocritical to do something wrong, and learn from it to not do it again, and then tell others not to do it.

Well it's just supposed to be a little joke, that's all x3

Is good joke and art, Yis. Thanks!

Daddy kurama

lol yeah x3

Kurama!!!

big flooferpoofer, as intellectuals call him~

Yeah! ^^

It's like in such a long story, stuff will always end up contradicting each other x3

This made me crack up, I had honestly forgotten about how Naruto used Kurama's power doing his own exam.

And on every other occasion x3

Hah, did something like that happen in Boruto?

always enjoy seeing you do stuff with kurama

Yeah I redrew the exact screenshot from the episode in the small panel xd ( He has the illegal ninja tool hidden in his sleeves, that's why Naruto's holding his arm )

I don't watch Naruto so I don't get the reference. But I more art of Kurama from you!

to be fair naruto didnt want it, but yeah the "your own power thing i thought was funny because he after all of part 1 and 2 had kurama being his main power with sage being for one fight against pain and kinda 6th path sage naruto but he still used ninetail chakra.

Silly Dad.

Naruto is a self-made hypocrite anyway. =P

I don't get it

Well yes, but the difference is, Naruto didnt choose to have those powers, Boruto did.

That's quite amusing honestly. XD

Technically, Kurama acts akin to Kiba's ninken Akamaru. He and Naruto are partners, working TOGETHER even if they didn't like each other at first. Not in so many words, but still, Naruto said that himself. Plus, even if Kurama's chakra was used against Neji and during the war, NARUTO still had to manipulate it on his own, meaning it WAS considered Kurama AND Naruto's power as they were BOTH puting in effort. Kurama's chakra also just amplified NARUTO's power. It would be no different than using a chakra storage seal, something a shinobi could buy at the nearest ninja supplies store and then performing a jutsu YOURSELF with it. Boruto wasn't amplifying his power with the device, he was using it in place of his own. The chunin exams are about showing your OWN skills, which is why the device was banned from it in the first place. The device sealed all the work, someone elses work, inside a mini storage scroll. If it was every ninja tool and the kitchen sink(or possibly even an actual kitchen sink in Tenten's case. Seriously, who among us DIDN'T think that when she used Weapon Control: Tensasai against her copy during the Gaara retrieval arc?) that would be one thing, but learning jutsu takes a lot of time and effort. It shows that the shinobi is willing to grow stronger, push harder on missions, and won't take the easy way out when the going gets tough. Kurama's chakra took training to use, the device did not. The device was a mockery of the very purpose of the exams and Boruto using it showed that not only was he unable to be trusted to follow laws and regulations, but he was also willing to insult every shinobi that came before him without a care in the world, including his family, just to win a chunin exam match instead of taking his loss with dignity. As the son of the Hokage, which is basically the ninja president, Boruto's mindset was INCREDIBLY humiliating on an international scale and made him unfit to be a shinobi, hence why his headband had been stripped from him. His punshment was rather light cconsidering that the Naruto universe bears a lot of similarities to Fuedal Japan. Naruto was not being hypocritical in this case. If anything, Naruto sugar-coated the situation.
