Naruto would be devastated. He might blame himself for not being able to protect his son. Sasuke would be angry and would likely go on a hunt for the perpetrator. His friends like Sarada and Mitsuki would be heartbroken. Sarada might vow to become stronger to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
Well, Naruto would be in a really tough spot. He loves his family and the village, and this situation would be a huge blow to his traditional values. He might struggle to understand how this happened between his son and Hinata. Hinata's family, on the other hand, would be protective of her. Her father would want to ensure that Boruto is taking responsibility. Boruto's friends would also be surprised. Some might be supportive, like Shikadai, who would try to see the good in the situation, while others might distance themselves at first, not sure how to handle this new and rather strange development.
The main characters in Boruto anime story include Boruto Uzumaki, who is on a journey to make his own mark as a ninja different from his father. Sarada Uchiha, with her determination to become Hokage and her Uchiha heritage. Mitsuki, who has an interesting backstory related to Orochimaru. There are also other characters like Naruto Uzumaki, who still plays a significant role in the story as Boruto's father and the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.
Naruto would likely be excited. He loves his son so much that seeing different stories about Boruto would be like seeing different potential futures for him. He might even get some inspiration from the fanfiction to give Boruto some advice in real life.
Boruto's reaction would be complex. He'd be heartbroken, for sure. He might start to question his own worth and purpose. But over time, he'd realize that he has to carry on Naruto's legacy. He'd become more serious and focused. He'd also become more empathetic towards others, understanding the weight of sacrifice. He might even start to study Naruto's techniques and leadership style more closely, trying to emulate the things that made Naruto such a great Hokage and hero.
Hinata would be completely devastated. She has always been deeply in love with Naruto, and his sacrifice would leave her heartbroken. She would still be strong for Boruto, though, and try to support him in any way she could.
Well, there are also those characters who might be a bit shocked or confused. Take Levi from Attack on Titan. He's a very serious and no - nonsense type of character. If he were to read some of the fanfic about him that deviated too much from his own self - perception, like being made into a comical or overly emotional character in the fanfic, he might be taken aback at first. But then he might also realize it's just a different interpretation and not take it too seriously.
In many cases, the Boruto manga is ahead. The anime often takes time to adapt and animate the story from the manga, so the manga storyline moves faster.
The Boruto anime doesn't catch up with the manga. There are significant differences in the story arcs and the order of events presented. However, both have their own merits and appeal to different audiences.
