The recent developments in Boruto highlight the significance of Naruto’s inability to effectively communicate with his children, especially regarding the new chapters of the manga. It appears that none of them possess any knowledge about the Nine-Tails fox, Kurama.
Kurama has deep roots in Naruto’s family, carrying the heavy burden of the death of Minato and Kushina, as well as the destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village. This also serves as the primary reason Naruto had to endure the stigma of being an outcast in the village. However, while Kurama is indeed a vital part of Naruto’s legacy, he has kept crucial information about the Tailed Beast secret, which could potentially harm Himawari and the village of Konoha.
Himawari is the most unique jinchuuriki with Kurama, yet she is completely unaware
Kurama’s importance is underscored by the fact that Minato created the Rasengan to protect Kushina—a jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails, who was captured because of her.
Kurama also plays a crucial role in Naruto’s growth. Given its importance, it would make sense for Naruto to share information about the fox with his children, especially considering that both of them were born with the chakra of the Nine-Tails.
If Naruto were to be a more responsible father, he should definitely inform his children about Kurama and its immense power. However, Naruto’s reluctance to discuss this with them has led to dire consequences, including Inojin’s recent sacrifice in the latest chapters of Boruto.
Ultimately, if Himawari were aware of the Tailed Beast, she might have been able to harness her own strength much earlier, avoiding catastrophic events due to the knowledge that should have been imparted to her.
