Boruto: Naruto Next Generations follows the story of Boruto Uzumaki, Naruto Uzumaki's son, as he aims to become an incredible ninja like his mentor, Sasuke Uchiha. The Boruto series is filled with some of the most incredible and high-octane fights. Just like most shonen series out, the plot is way too convenient to let the main characters survive the ordeals that they face.

As with most stories, plot armor has played quite a role in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations as well, and saved the day on numerous occasions.

10 When Boruto Uzumaki Activated The Jougan Against The Nue

During the Boruto anime's Nue arc, the village was on the brink of destruction as the mighty beast rampaged without people being able to do anything.

Somehow, Boruto's Jougan activated and saved the day by taking things to a different dimension, and at the same time, giving Boruto Uzumaki a power boost that allowed him to fight the beast and even injure it. It was way too convenient for the eye to activate all of a sudden during the fight.

9 When Boruto Uzumaki Was Able To Fight Against Momoshiki Otsutsuki

Boruto Uzumaki fought against Momoshiki Otsutsuki along with Naruto and Sasuke and surprisingly, he was able to contribute to a fight where he should've felt out of place.

Boruto's strength was nothing compared to Momoshiki Otsutsuki, however, he was somehow able to hit him with a jutsu and even engage in hand-to-hand combat against him. Once again, this was down to the Jougan activating somehow and it gave him a major power boost.

8 When Naruto & Boruto Uzumaki Fought Urashiki Otsutsuki

Urashiki Otsutsuki was one of the Boruto series' anime-only antagonists. In the Time Slip arc, Urashiki went back in time to get a hold of Kurama's powers, however, he was stopped by the combined effort of Sasuke, Jiraiya, kid Naruto, and Boruto Uzumaki.

Surprisingly, Urashiki was eventually defeated by Naruto and Boruto Uzumaki's combined effort, which shouldn't have been possible. Without plot armor, the two would've died a long time ago.

7 When Konohamaru Sarutobi Survived against Ao & Koji

Konohamaru Sarutobi's display against both Ao and Kashin Koji was very poor and he ended up passing out twice during those two fights. Thankfully for him, he was spared for some reason and if he didn't have plot armor, he would certainly have died.

Ao definitely had the tools to kill him as did Kashin Koji, but once again, it would've been highly inconvenient for him to die there, which is why he ended up surviving.

6 When Mitsuki Was Able To Counter Boro's Ability Way Too Easily

Boro, one of the Inners of the Kara organization, used a special Scientific Ninja Tool to make use of mist that paralyzed those who came in contact with him. The mist was actually a virus that was extremely difficult to counter, however, Mitsuki was able to create antibodies against it within a matter of seconds.

Prior to this, Mitsuki had never shown any ability even remotely similar to this, which makes it extremely convenient for him to be able to pull this off.

5 When Sarada Uchiha Was Able To Hit Boro With Her Chidori

Sarada Uchiha learned the Chidori from none other than her father, Sasuke. In the fight against Boro, she was able to attack him with this jutsu and rip his core out of his body. Surprisingly, Boro could do very little about it despite being as strong as Delta in terms of strength, who forced Naruto to use Six Paths Sage Mode against him.

For Sarada to casually rip out his core from his body was extremely unlikely. Without plot armor, all of the Genin there would've died for sure.

4 When Momoshiki Otsutsuki Awakened Against Boro

Despite having his core ripped out from his body, Boro was able to take out every single Team 7 member, except for Boruto. For some reason, Momoshiki Otsutsuki woke up and took over Boruto's body when he was in danger.

Boruto then proceeded to kill him with Momoshiki's powers and had it not been for the Otsutsuki, Boruto and his friends wouldn't have been able to rescue the Seventh Hokage from his grasp.

3 When Boruto Uzumaki Played A Part In Isshiki's Defeat

Isshiki

Isshiki Otsutsuki was the biggest antagonist in the Boruto story and the strongest of all characters in the Narutoverse. During his fight against Sasuke and Naruto, Boruto also took part and played his role. Although he was no match for Isshiki, Boruto was able to stall Isshiki simply because he couldn't be killed.

Instead of knocking him out or taking him down so he wouldn't be a distraction, Isshiki didn't do much other than break his arm. Even then, Boruto succeeded in saving Sasuke, which was his goal, to begin with.

2 When Naruto Uzumaki Fought Isshiki Otsutsuki

Naruto's fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki saw him tap into the power of Baryon Mode to outclass his opponent. While the fight between him and Isshiki was certainly incredible, it makes little sense how Baryon Mode suddenly came up in the story.

To a lot of fans, it appeared as if Kishimoto needed Naruto to get rid of Isshiki, so he invented a completely new power without building up to it on the spot. Without a doubt, Naruto saving the world using Baryon Mode could be considered as plot armor.

The price to pay for the usage of Baryon Mode was Kurama's life; however, before the form was accessed, Kurama said that it would consume both Naruto and his life together. While he admitted to having lied, later on, the fact that the story led fans to believe that both would die and then take a U-turn felt like the plot was saving Naruto.

Not only was Baryon Mode a very sudden and random power-up but only Kurama dying after the fight was plot armor in full effect.
