    Yamato deserved better. I don't like how the Boruto story still overworks him into being a watchdog over Orochimaru 24/7. He deserves the chance to just retire and chill with Kakashi and Guy. The over working is making him look old even though he is supposed to have low level regeneration, which is supposed to make him look young. Idk, maybe his wood style doesn't give him regen.

      And it adds insult to injury when they have Yamato keep watch over the guy that originally experimented on him. I would have thought in light of that Hokage Naruto would have found another role for him. The guy can't catch a break.

      You know yamato is like late 30’s early 40’s and kakashi isn’t retired and the only reason guy retired is bc he’s literally disabled and he obviously takes pride in what he does for the leaf a shinobi must endure or did we not watch the same series

    Ive always seen Yamato as a sort of good guy version of Obito. Both were normal children who were essentially kidnaped by powerful shinobi who were experimented on with hashirama cells and essentially turned into the tools of the shinobi who tested on them. Only difference is, Obito had nothing to pull him out of that situation whereas Yamato did eventually meet people who looked out for him

Yamato was just told “do what I say because we’re the roots of the leaf”. He didn’t have any personal desire or connection with this goal, he just followed orders making it far easier for him to break out of that mindset, whereas Obito staked his entire existence and every unforgivable crime he committed on his plan.

    I think the worst part was that the wood style was way too hyped and then we see Yamato basically use it only for house making and occasionally some seals. Personally i wouldve tove to see him perform wood dragon or smaller weaker version of Deep Forest jutsu. The disappointment really came when he was taken with ease by Kabuto and became nothing more than a "extra" for a white zetsu

    I loved Yamato a lot bc my favorite aspects of the manga were concepts of Hashirama Cells and Wood ralease, specially the horror aspects of these ideas in the story
    From things like Wood realase starting growing like cancerous growths from Danzou when he stoped having control of his chakra, to how Yamato was only able to obtain such incredible powers by being tortured and experimented on as a child
    I would have loved to see more of Yamato, maybe having him be a parallel to hashirama in some ways? Or he interacting with the god of shinobi himself

    Yamato should've become Naruto's real sensei, especially as Harashima's living clone (Naruto is Hara's reincarnation, pretty fitting) and him having his improved arm through Harashima's cells. Him and Kakashi never really clicked, Kakashi was too biased towards Sasuke. After Kakashi realised that Naruto was Minato's son/nephew (nephew would've been a better twist) he should've realised mistreating Naruto's training when he was younger was a stupid move, and THEN Kakashi would've taken Naruto seriously. But no, after the bridge arc, back to Team 7 because the teens in the 2000s couldn't let go of Part 1 yet. In hindsight, Kishi was a coward.

They done even have to show the mother, most dont already, or she could have died or bet yet was of a clan that strengthen wood style making a offspring a potential.

Even how she flirts with Naruto hinted at a romance,one MUCH better than Sakura and stronger than Hinata. It’s sad that Anko only gets to shine in fanfics.

    (Little erratum if it's one : Kakashi wasn't made "simple" jonin directly after the Uchiha massacre if it's what was implied, but one or 2 years after minimum. By the idea that there is one genin test by year, he failed 2 and took the third group, there was at least 3 years past before Sasuke genin test. Uchiha massacre happened when he was 8, and Sasuke past genin at 12. So there was one or 2 years between the massacre and when Hiruzen choose to make Kakashi simple jonin again.)
