#Naruto

Pain wanted peace. Itachi wanted to prevent war. Madara wanted to end suffering. Obito wanted to reunite with the dead. Every Naruto villain had a legitimate grievance and an illegitimate solution.

Naruto's confrontation with Pain is not just the series' best arc. It's one of the finest arcs in shonen history.

Boruto had the impossible task of following one of manga's biggest hits. We compare both series fairly.
