Orochimaru does face consequences. He is on permanent house arrest and is liable to be tapped for his utility, such that it is the only reason he is even kept alive.

The bounty-hunting office was already arrested in part due to his team, and Shikamaru aides in fighting the head of the Akatsuki during the war. That aside, Asuma was not killed due to the bounty, he was killed since he was hunting the Akatsuki, and Shikamaru avenged him against his murderer.

Fun fact: Naruto says it is Monday about a month after the end of the Chūnin Exams, which was held a month after it started, on July 1st, so two months later it is Monday, September 1st; September 1st was Monday when the chapter was published, 2003, meaning that is likely the year in-universe.

It is that she could not help them and needed to depend on them. That same battle in that Forest of Death showed she wanted them to be able to stare at her back, meaning she would be capable enough to fight alongside them (which she does achieve through her training).

Sakura is actually one (literally, according to the databook), if that is what needs to be the lure.

Except Sasuke did not really consider the ethical ramifications. he actually lost the moral high-ground to Danzō, which is impressive in its own way.

Kishimoto's manga instilled seeing hidden meanings within the hidden meanings, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, patience, and many other virtues which clearly fall on deaf ears.

Seems the message did not get across if the means of confronting that is a torture trap.

I certainly like critically discussing the series. For example, the title could be interpreted as Boruto 2, Blue Vortex, with Blue (eye[s]) being an important part of Boruto's character, and Vortex alluding to Boruto's true nature as an Uzumaki, since spiral terminology is affiliated with them.

I would say Sakura is written very human, sometimes to her detriment (in the eyes of readers), she is written with certain human flaws others are not, which she grows past to become a shinobi that stands alongside Naruto and Sasuke.

If that is referring to the Konoha Kuzushi, Sakura was actually the only one not knocked out from the initial attack, she is the one that roused Naruto who was. Later on she is targeted by Gaara, but that is because she jumped in the way to save Sasuke, if she did not, he would be dead.

Wherein they also attacked him first and he made it clear he just wished to be left alone, but yes, he pointed out they were risking their lives for naught.

He did. Her being a genjutsu-type is what led to her prowess as a medical-nin.

Probably saw through her intent to kill him first.

In Japanese, human is often the word used to refer to mortals in fiction, so I am not sure it is that clear-cut. A distinction is often made as those that have magic and those that do not, sometimes even appearing the same game.
![The Hylian people, who left behind these written records, were an elected (chosen) people able to hear the voices of gods.
This documentation was written by the race of Hylia, the chosen people capable of hearing the voices of the gods.
For that reason they were in possession of tall ears, excelled senses, and the use of magic/sorcery.
For that reason, the Hylians have high ears, unsurpassed senses, and the ability to use magic.
Their decendants spread to various places, and it is said that they told about magic and prophecies.
It is said that they passed on [stories of] their magic and prophecies to their descendants, who rooted themselves in all parts of the world.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2mjadk75pcauzgeqnldfplxv/bafkreifbvz734s7f34m35ubnkdb23lsbrvl22vsa4eurfvmibw53ijuftm@jpeg)

One could say Koji's ability to do so is itself a product of being a scientific ninja weapons tool, with Shibai's cells being an extension of his other Kara cyborg enhancements (he does not show it, but he would be modified like Delta or Boro).

Feel one should not make such threats no matter what, but it goes deeper than a simple inspiration. It is the entire basis of it, which remains until the end of the manga wherein Sasuke sees it himself.

That was including the Boruto movie which was made shortly after the manga concluded, including Naruto Gaiden which was a tie-in. I would also not say painting the Hokage Rock with an insult toward Nanadaime is simply being stand-offish.
