We have it out of Sakura's own mouth Sasuke lasts two and a half minutes. Unlike Naruto, where the last definitive proof he and his wife have sex are (Himawari's age + 9 months).

Naruto literally had to be kidnapped by Momoshiki and Isshiki to get him out of the village, and I'm looking forward to that happening a third time when we finally get to the events in the flash-forward at the start of the series where he's MIA

Does Hinata actually leave the village anymore?

Not to my knowledge no (I'm not sure if she's even a ninja anymore since she spends most of her time as a stay at home mom)

Anyway, new Boruto:

She has become a generic mom in a pretty boring way, which is a rare miss from Boruto as a series considering how it gives some of the female characters from Naruto something to do every now and then. Hell there's one episode where she's hanging out with Sakura and Ino and she doesn't even drink beer with them!

(Ino, on the other hand, has the big mug)

Big lore drop that is much appreciated. All the OP cyborg powers having some clearer background within established Otsusuki insanity has done a lot of heavy lifting for me. I was never that big on the cyborgs and Code’s insane levels coming out of nowhere essentially.

Also the latest anime arc is pretty lol with how much of Squid Games riff it is.

I'm not a big fan on the post-Naruto Otsutsuki lore, but this was a good chapter.

Loving this new facet of the ohtsutsuki lore, it builds off the power scale set up by the shinobi war in a much more natural way than there just existing a secret cabal of cyborgs ninjas. Also really digging Amado’s whole deal even more, the first anime villain to realize that if you blow up the earth there’s no reason to being your dead daughter/wife/sister back. Seems like the flashforward from the prologue is coming back now too so maybe all the whiners begging for a timeskip will be satisfied.

This improves the lore a lot. I wasn't a fan of the cyborg ninja stuff at it's onset, but at least they're doing something interesting with it outside of boring fight power creep. We're back to tactical planning and strategy, which is what I always liked most about Naruto.

Same. Chapter did a lot of perfectly acceptable handwaving.

I guess the most important reveal in the chapter is that Eida's charm is just some kind of trick that can be overcome. Has anyone been affected by it without being in close physical proximity to her? If it's as simple as "magic pheromones" that would be funny.

Also Delta effectively being a clone of Amado’s dead daughter is a nice touch (don’t remember if it was brought up before this though)

The Squid Game esque arc that just started in the anime seems decent as well

Also based on the vision at the end it seems like Kawaki's not the only one to get possessed eventually. I wonder how far we are away from the (presumed) timeskip at this point

The intro flash forward was just the result of his daughter being pissed he rezzed her in the body of Kawaki, and Amado still refuses to believe it's her.

some great character moments for Sakura this chapter. At first I thought she picked up a gambling addiction from Tsunade but it’s even better that Tsunade sucks so much that her child apprentice learned to count cards. and her recognizing Sai’s style is the most useful thing Sai’s character has ever done

Larryb

I’m actually liking this series more than I expected to (it’s also probably the most competent/useful Sakura’s been allowed to be in a while). In fact, I kind of hope it gets adapted into the Boruto anime eventually

Same, aside from a few things in the set up, seems like a an easy adjustment. Can easily say Naruto’s illness is a side effect of how Kurama went out. And Sasuke’s powers are varied enough to still pull off everything, even without the Rinnegan.

I like how Tobi and Obito Uchiha are separated even though the Obito picture is a spoiler and makes it clear he's Tobi. And it's not even like they're referencing the Zetsu as Tobi, it's a picture of Obito with the mask!!

EDIT: Also, I have no idea who half of those characters are and I laughed hard at the fact that 'Feudal Lord (Land of Lightning)' was an option.

EDIT 2: Yahiko, 'Tendo' and Nagato are all separate options. LMAO.

Somehow doesn't seem like it. There's only one Zetsu option. Would have thought they'd at least separate white and black zetsu. Especially when they list Hanzo's salamander as an option. And every single lady Jiraiya ever ogled.

Birds are descended from dinosaurs after all so that’d actually make sense

But yeah, it’s nice seeing ninjas actually acting like ninjas for a change (and this is probably Sakura at the best she’s been in years).

Like I said, I really want to see the anime tackle this one day (and you’d really only have to make a few minor changes to get it to fit into the current timeline)

it's a weird historical mystery, which is something neither of them is particularly well equipped to handle. but they are using their wildly overpowered ninja wizard powers to push through anyway. i like it. also, it's really funny how sasuke is forced to socialize.

It's really fun seeing Sakura and Sasuke use all these basic ninja techniques for their espionage. Though I don't know how it didn't cross Sasuke's mind that the guy without eyeballs might be able to notice things beyond his direct line of sight.
