Naruto is one of the greatest anime ever made. Starting from the introduction to the point where the main character got married, it was pure and perfect. The anime franchise is so popular that it has been adapted into video games, and people who are planning to start their anime journey should include it on their watch list. It is also considered to be one of the big three, along with Bleach and One Piece.
Fans thought the show would end after Naruto became the Hokage. The creators had planned for a sequel that revolves around Naruto’s son, Boruto. The show is called Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. The anime got mixed reviews, and fans were not happy with it. Since the inception of the sequel, a wild theory has been circulating on the internet. The theory is so bizarre that it would make the anime 100 times more pointless than its current stage.
Madara Uchiha’s Infinite Tsukuyomi Is Still Active
The Fourth Great Ninja War in Naruto Shippuden saw the best ninjas of the current generation fight against the best ninjas in the history of the Shinobi world. The Akatsuki had planned to steal all the tailed beasts and revive the ten-tails. But hardly did they know that Madara Uchiha was controlling them like a puppet through Tobi (Obito). All five nations and the samurai joined forces to protect Naruto (Nine-tails Jinchuriki) and Killer Bee (Eight-tails Jinchuriki) from Madara and Obito.
After Naruto and Sasuke defeated Obito in Ten-tails form, reincarnated Madara Uchiha absorbed the Ten-tails and got fully revived. He planned to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the world. Infinite Tsukuyomi is a genjutsu of a greater level. He used the moon to reflect his Rinne-Sharingan. Everyone who saw or was exposed to it went inside a dream world. The dream was a matrix-shaped paradise where the person would live his entire life as he/she had hoped it to be, while the God Tree drained their life force.
It was at this point that Sasuke used his Rinne-Sharingan to counter the Infinite Tsukuyomi and save Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi from the dream world. But the wild fan theory that has been circulating claims that Madara Uchiha’s Infinite Tsukuyomi is still ongoing. The story in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is just Naruto’s dream of how he had wished to live his life. He yearned for a family and got it through Infinite Tsukuyomi.
How Does Madara Uchiha’s Infinite Tsukuyomi Set Up Boruto: Naruto Next Generations?
Naruto had always wished for a peaceful world, and Boruto has it. The introduction of technology, peace among all the nations, a more friendly environment, a decreased fear factor, etc., does make it seem like a dream. But Team 7 fought against Kaguya Otsutsuki to free everyone from the dream world. The theory suggested that it was a necessary evil that Madara Uchiha planted inside the dream. It would be the confirmation for Naruto and Sasuke that they indeed defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki and saved everyone. It would make them more comfortable in their paradise.

For that reason, Boruto only has villains from the Otsutsuki clan. But Boruto and Kawaki are considered to be exceptions since they act as vessels for the Otsutsukis. If the theory is indeed true, then both are created by God Tree for the bigger picture in the whole Infinite Tsukuyomi simulation. The fans have debunked this theory from day one. But it seems to get more popular with time.
Boruto is not well received by the fans. Now, with this theory, they would think the anime is more pointless than it already was. Nanadaime did not spend his entire life just dreaming of being the Hokage. The whole fandom grew up with him. So, when the creators nerfed Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, they were having none of it.
Whatever glory moments the show had were thanks to this duo, but not anymore. The theory of Madara Uchiha winning the Fourth Great Ninja War and putting our favorite Hokage under Infinite Tsukuyomi so that Boruto could happen is the point where the fans draw the line.
