Honestly, forgot today was the 20th...lets see something in the news. Oh apparently the Assassin Creed game's Japanese expert is a Fujoshi that is a yaoi-shota fan. That has actually written books on Monk on Shota action. Not an expert on the Sengoku Jidia the setting is based on but how to make the idealize hot Japanese fantasy underage F*&kboys...What a world.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 90/(10). Kernel. Right. Lets see the BS they make up to justify Kurama's return.

 

Cover page is tiny Kurama and the daughter. Ikemoto inability to convey expression makes it look like they are antagonistic towards each other. 

 

Neo-Ino-Shika-Cho are fleeing on an art bird. Tree-Jenga question why they are even bothering to run. Oh Finally! Some adult are coming to join the fight...oh its Konohamaru with a few mooks. Also Ikemoto has changed his design of Konohamaru. So, he isn't completely unrecognizable like he was at the start of the manga. Shikamaru informs both Bolt and Nail that they are after the daughter. He then ask Nail to make a temporary truce. Nail having some standards seem to feel he is required to protect the daughter...despite ignoring the fact he was told she was in danger last chapter. Character Consistency, what is that? Tree- Jenga goes off to chase the daughter. Leaving Tree-Sasuke to deal with Konohamaru. Konohamaru is shocked that Sasuke is one of the intruders, because it has taken forever for someone to tell Shikamaru the info hasn't been passed down through the Ranks yet. Oh and Salad appears Tree-Sasuke's target. They attack each other with Chidori. Salad question who this person is...it can't be her father because he has a left arm. Oh the tree people have these weird hand feet instead of the Freeza style the nudist had before.

 

Now the conversation with Kurama...why does it feel like Ikemoto can't even draw him properly. Yep, I thought so. So, Kurama 'died' within Naruto but a kernel remains and was able to restore itself within the daughter. What did I say last month. "If it doesn't kill the Biju and allows them to escape their host without killing them either, why didn't the tailed beast use their suicide nuke modes in the century they were used as weapons by the villages? Just tell/trick their host about this super mode. Then go into hiding while they assume the tailed beast is dead." The funny thing is they know this is all BS. So they give multiple reasons, all but saying 'it could be anything,' but end on the fact that she is a Hyuuga and Uzumaki. You know a thing that nH fans will love and stand by as it justifies their pairing happening. "Naruto and Hinata had to get together because their children would be so much more powerful than the children Naruto could have with Sakura. The only reason the daughter has Kurama without any seal is because she is Hinata's daughter." Kurama also says to not give it too much thought. Again. BULL. BULL. This whole thing is BULL.

 

So the answer to, was this planned from that start? No. They did not plan this. Kurama's death was so they wouldn't have to kill off Naruto, remember it was hinted that he is suppose to be dead at this point, they couldn't go through with that because his death might destroy the viewership they had left, and his revival is to give the daughter power to fight in the manga because they were told to add more characters into the cast that would fight beyond just Bolt & Nail. None of this was planned.

 

While they were having this conversation. Tree-Jenga caught up to them and shoots them down. What is up with Kurama's face. Kurama informs the daughter to use his power and that she has a higher affinity with him than anyone else including her father. So they fight, but it takes the likely death of Blond Sai, he was spiked through the chest, for the daughter to awaken Kurama's power. Oh her hair also looks like the nine tails like her grandmother.

 

There is no seal. Kurama has nothing stopping him from giving her his chakra. Which she supposedly has the highest affinity for. Why does she need to awaken it like a super mode? Naruto needed to get emotional to weaken the seal to let Kurama's Chakra pour out. Once they become friends that was no longer needed. Naruto just needed to ask.

 

Where going back into something does happen (The daughter's powers awaken, Tree-Sasuke is revealed to the village, and the likely death of a characters) but most of the pages are filler again with Ikemoto. Soon it will be one thing happens again, then 5 chapters for something to happen, and then fifteen, and so on.

.....? What the hell do I mean the hell are they even doing anymore? This is just so...  Argh, take it away, Critic.

 

[totherpage95]

Bruh wtf was that

[Illnevergiveup3]

they actually killed off one of the kids?

[Bail o' Lies]

they actually killed off one of the kids?

We will see. He has a hole in his chest like Neji, but you never know. Also Inojin, the Blond Sai, at some points was the most popular next generation character even more than Salad. So they are either doing this for drama or back out of it.

[totherpage95]

i doubt he's actually gone... i don't even think neji would have been killed if naruto didn't need to fall for hinata 

[Bail o' Lies]

i doubt he's actually gone... i don't even think neji would have been killed if naruto didn't need to fall for hinata 

Remember according to Derock, Neji was originally killed because someone that ran SP's online accounts would not stop whining about how much he hated him and needed to die.

 

Again, this boy was popular as far as I know, so rating boost? Also I think they were kinda limited on who they could kill for dramatic super mode awakening. Nail, Bolt, Cups, and Salad are in theory the main cast. The Clone is SP's character and they would have a fit. Fat Filler is Black, so someone could easily tell them Westerners would have a hissy fit over that. Shikamaru's son could have some impact since Shikamaru has been around throughout the entire story. Granted, Ino has also been in the story and is one of the few characters Ikemoto seems to care about; her morning over her dead son could be her 'oscar moment'. And there isn't really anyone else. So, he has enough importance to be known in order to have impact when he dies, but not really affecting the plot with his lost. The ideal sacrificial character.

Well both Elden Ring and ff14 have new expansions that are happening more or less in a few days.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 11. True Power....but is the power unlimited?

 

 

The cover page is Tree-Sasuke...and if I didn't know it was him, I couldn't tell you by looking at him. Why does Ikemoto mess around with the faces so much to the point they become unrecognizable? If I showed this to someone who wasn't watching/reading this and said, "this is Sasuke," they would be absolutely confused and likely would deny it.

 

First page is Blond Sai still on a spike unmoving and Tree-Jenga watching the daughter power up. She uses her hair to grab Blond Sai...and with complete Bull Shit heals him with no effort. He was impaled through most of his torso and she instantly heals him; so there isn't even a scratch. That wasn't one of Kurama's powers! That was a power Naruto was granted by the Sage of Six Paths, a power he never used to this extent. So that was a fake out and a flex of the daughter's power like what Naruto did with Might Guy. Also, from now on any death is on her hands because she can insta-heal anything now. She tells the others to take him to the hospital because she is not sure if she completely healed him, BS. Naruto could barely survive a two on one with Sasuke helping him, she going to take on the tree version solo. The power scaling. The power scaling is completely fucked once again. I knew this was going to happen and I am still annoyed. This feels very much like Goku going super Saiyan for the first time and saying he will take care of Freeza. Fat Filler tries to convince her to let her remain but she tells her to go, and as a joke they make a promise to go to a new pancake house.

 

Tree-Jenga monologues I swear even Zamasu never went on as much as a Boruto villain does. They fight. They fire Biju Bombs like they are Ceros. The daughter uses her hair to instinctively use it, also she isn't not in any cloak mode this is basic Kurama empowerment red eyes and darker whisker marks, Tree-Jenga his eye. He is impressed by her display and decides to test his power against her.

 

Back with Tree- Sasuke after being hit by Salad's Chidori. He acts like he barely knows anything and is confused from the Sharingan he saw Salad use, the chidori they both used, and him not knowing who Uchiha Sasuke is. The clone seems to know, not due to being informed, but by instinct or reading the script that he is after Salad. He uses the belts to hits Salad from behind with a lighting attack. The other ninja tries to join in on the fight. Konohamaru doing something for the first time in the entire story, uses a rasengan and then when attacked shows off a wind style-rasen barrier. Doesn't work and he has knocked out everyone except the one ninja based off Kodaichi who is too scared to do anything.

 

Back to The daughter and Tree-Jenga. He beats her up she insta-heals. She apparently can heal as quickly as the Biju do instead of what is normal for a container like Naruto. God this is becoming more and more like Dragon Ball, it is losing what little identity Naruto-Boruto still had...So Mustard and Punk are flying to the fight and they sense Bolt is flying there too. He rescues his sister. Then he uses the flying thunder god to teleport over to where Salad is to rescue her. So next chapter he fights off against his Tree-mentor.

Sorry, someone just informed me of this. Apparently, the daughter is suppose to be a gentle fist style taijutsu genius prodigy that is comparable if not completely surpasses Neji. Well, that's just great. However, she uses none of that in this fight and I don't think she used that when she was sparring earlier. I also don't recall either she or Bolt using their Byakugans. That likely was something the anime had for her to just reinforce how nH is so perfect and deserved to be the end pairing. Which again is another problem is that the anime did a lot of filler stories they want to be canon which Ikemoto did not watch nor would care to remember if he did.

 

He honestly was probably the worst choice to be in charge of the sequel. Does not care for the original manga in the slightest, wants to do his own manga using his old boss' story as a

'skin' to ensure it won't be cancel as well as leech some money off the legacy of the original, ignores the anime that had to carry the series because his manga's pacing was atrocious, as well as not working together with the anime to coordinate the story, and worse of all doesn't have any of the talent drive or skill needed to make it work.

Oh this came out yesterday...eh, no one paying me to be on time for this. Surprisingly a lot has happen since the last chapter. There was a Debate on CNN that by all right should end Biden's campaign, and someone tried to assassinate Trump with him getting an iconic photo from it.

 

But since people are going complain about politics if I talk about that. I'm going to do what I originally planned on doing with this chapter. Is Boruto worse than the Acolyte? I honestly hope it isn't.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 12...A full year of this now. Title: Thorn Soul Bulb...what?

 

Cover page is the Clone...my god her face looks awful, she looks like a blow up doll. Also, wasn't her hair purple? I recall her design in the anime pretty much being different shades of purple. Why is it now blue? Is this to make her more like Hinata?

 

Chapter starts with the cast reacting to Bolt's appearance...him coming in to save Salad, not how goofy his design is. He puts down his sister next to Salad and ask Konohamaru to keep her safe...why did you put her down next to Salad then? Does he not believe Salad can take care of someone right next to her?

 

Tree-Sasuke attacks. Bolt uses a wind attack...I think. There are no visual cue to show the attack so it just looks like a force push. Tree-Sasuke goes into the belt markings.

 

Back to Nail and Mustard. Mustard contacts the sensor division with their permanently active telepathy line to ask where is everyone while Nail just looks at Tree-Jenga.

 

Back to Bolt. Konohamaru chews out Bolt because he is still under the effects of omnipotence. Salad tells him to focus on their current enemy. Oh so that's why Kodaichi's insert is still up, he is part of the sensor division and Bolt asks him to sense for Tree-Sasuke, he also chews Bolt out. Then Salad asks about if Tree-Sasuke relates to Sasuke being stuck in a tree, and since info has not been spread at all this is the first time Konohamaru has heard of it. And wonders if this is the same thing that happened to Moegi.

 

....Bolt informs them that they need to beat Tree-Sasuke to free Sasuke, and Konohamaru wants to know how he would know this. Good question. I don't know how he would know that when the Tree-People only formed like an hour ago in story. I guess Bolt read the script. Normally, yes beating these do free the person, but the characters aren't suppose to know that at the start. So there is drama in, "wait if we kill them what happens to the person imprisoned?" Clearly, they aren't bothering with that.

 

Thankfully Tree-Sasuke was nice enough to wait for this info dump to be over before attacking. He does that by sending out some nudist. Fight. Fight. Fight. Desperately trying to make Bolt look cool. Salad attacks one and Tree-Sasuke pops out of the Nudist to eat her...now before you ask, why is the person they are after fighting? That's because Bolt told her to while telling the two that are not targets to back up. Why...probably so this could happen. So Bolt can save her.

 

Bolt lands a hit and we see how the tree-people heal. They go back to their base and absorb some of the world tree roots. Once he heals he pops out and does something?...Oh, he put more marking on the ground through his eye...

 

Salad see they need to bait him, so suggest Bolt fly and wait for him to go for her again to attack. Bolt decides that's stupid for some reason, he is not going to listen to a woman, and instead he going to use a full power Uzuhiko...that stupid vertigo attack? What is he going to see if the tree-people can throw up?

 

Oh it clear that they know their new signature attack was seen as lame in its first showing, because it was as lame as it was overhyped. So they are trying to re-explain again and hope its cooler now. It still uses the centrifugal force/rotation and the planets chakra (nature's chakra like sage mode but trying to treat as something new or different) to power it. So same as before they just hope this new blast will make it look cooler. Its power is apparently limitless if Bolt charges it for long enough. Oh Wait! They did add a restriction, he needs both feet on the ground to charge it.

 

 

Konohamaru uses his rasen-barrier to protect Bolt. Bolt whines about him not protecting the daughter, he argues back with he thinks this is more important, and there are already two people with her. Salad is grabbed...and somehow uses chidori stream to stun Tree-Sasuke and then pull him out of the belt...

 

Bolt fires his Uzuhiko which they try to make it impressive. It nearly one-shots Tree-Sasuke. He nearly escapes but finally Nail does something useful and shrinks the belts so he can't escape. Then he finishes him off. Leaving only the "Thorn Soul Bulb," which Bolt grabs and ask Clone Jiraiya for confirmation. I guess if they feed that to Sasuke he will be released. How do they know this? Again, I don't know. Tree-Jenga intervenes from long range to protect his colleague, knocks down Bolt, the Bulb flies to him, and Tree-Jenga decides Bolt needs to die due to knowing about the Bulb.

 

...How is this worse than the acolyte?

As usual thank you, Bail... You have infinite patience!

 

So, Salad looks more and more like the typical damsel in distress... Poor girl, she is now branded as Boruto's future woman and, as a fighter, she was also overtaken in a corner kick by Hinata's daughter.... What a miserable life!

 

There is no escaping this unpleasant fate, which will of course be foisted on us as the happiest possible future for her.

 

When this Boruto tomfoolery began, I didn't know whether her being Uchiha would save her from the unfortunate fate to which female figures in this franchise are subjected (excluding Himechan's daughter, of course), namely that of becoming sentimental appendages of the protagonist...
I now have the answer.

It is tragic to know how this will all end when I despise the BS couple with all my might... And some SS fans even say that this pairing was done because Ikemoto is a NaruSaku fan... Give me a break!

Like I said other times, Kodaichi seemed to be the only one of the three that realized they needed Salad involved in the plot. Even if it was just have her do one thing each arc. Once he was gone, Ikemoto didn't care about her nor have a role for her till the end of part one. He is not a NS fan, they just can't accept that he is a bad writer and screwed up their pairings.

 

As for Kishimoto, I still say its more he is stuck in how heroine were portrayed in the 80-90s in shounen manga than anything else.

 

Salad was at best Sakura 2.0. Sakura with all her flaws removed, and the combined powers of her parents, super strength and all the uchiha abilities to make Sasuke able to rival Naruto. She should of had no problems staying relevant. But Ikemoto's power creep is the worse I have ever seen. Bolt and Nail became stronger than either Naruto or Sasuke almost instantly and immediately near the start of the story, and making everyone else irrelevant.

 

The best character to compare her to is Karou from Ruronin Kenshin. A decent fighter on paper, but way out of her league, to the point she mainly exist to be rescued by the main character, and be their love interest. 

[totherpage95]

Everyone is calling sarada boruto's girl i guess having ns in another form is ok now that hinata got her man

[Bail o' Lies]

They don't really have a choice. From Chapter 700 BS was set up. The Son of nH and The Daughter of SS getting together due to their shared daddy issues. Combining the popularity of nH/SS in a NS-like romance should in theory be successful. The anime staff tried to make nH happen again with The Hinata Clone Sumire by making her the villain of the first arc of the anime. So she would stand out. But Ikemoto has no real interest in her, and he doesn't have much interest in Salad. Which is a problem.

 

Bolt's goal is being the Supporting Shadow to Salad as Hokage. Since they never focus on what Salad wants to do as Hokage. They have also never focus on why that is Bolt's dream. So they only have their feelings for each other to try to justify it.

 

If you think the BS romance as a selling point for the story...I would say watch something, anything else. Because, its barely there and the scenes they do have is because they are barely minimum requirements and really are mostly occurring in part two.

[Bail o' Lies]

So lets see well since I mentioned it last time. The Acolyte is not getting a season 2. Star Wars Outlaw is coming out in 10 days and signs are, it will at best be mediocre.

 

Black Myth: Wukong has apparently broke records on Steam for First Day player count. I think it was approaching 2 million last I saw.

 

Oh by the way, apparently, Jujutsu Kaisen has 5 chapters left. Oh by  the way Nobara is alive.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 13... Into the second year of this. Prescience...predicting the future? If they could do that, they wouldn't be in this mess.

 

Cover page is Bolt.

 

Tree-Jenga was about to kill Bolt till Tree-Bug, named Mamushi, popped out of him to inform him Tree-Moegi thinks Bolt has an ally feeding info. For some stupid reason, he decides to stop himself from finishing off Bolt, because the plot can't let him kill Bolt yet. Oh and he keeps calling Bolt, Otsutsuki Boruto. Also apparently that bulb can rot...what happens to Sasuke if it rots?

 

Oh good, a flashback to when Bolt hadn't had his stupid haircut. He legitimately looks even better drawn. Bolt is being hunted by the Leaf...oh so they did chase after him. When he is contacted by a toad. Who teleport him to Clone Jiraiya, right he is involved in the plot again...why do I feel dread that some stupid explanation is about to happen. CJ has summoned Bolt to one of Orochimaru's old bases...well, I guess he doesn't need to move around anymore, once he got that pardon for any crime. The Toad is a Scientific Ninja Tool it is not real, he moves it with his chakra, and he is the one talking through it...is this to explain why they didn't try to find him out when he was summoning toads through reverse summoning? Bolt apparently could not recognize him until he put on his mask...who else does he know that uses toads that look like those and has connections to have SNT like that made? Oh Madoc full name is Sanzu, Amado. Ignoring Bolt's whining CJ asks if he was Uzumaki Boruto until recently. Bolt ask if he knows about Omnipotence and is resistant to it, he is not just like Madoc he put it together and figured it out on his own. Remember Ikemoto's character are always smarter than any of Kishimoto's stupid characters like Shikamaru.

 

Ah, he has the Power of Prescience doesn't he? He says he knew those events would happen ahead of time. More Shinjutsu BS. Apparently, at the end of his fight with Jenga this power awakened within him. Which is why he fled and we didn't see him for the rest of part one. Oh no, there is another tree person, I can't tell who because of the art and also none of the characters stand out.

 

Oh right throughout conversation they talk about about their previous encounters, that I don't care about. Bolt doesn't forgive him at first for killing Ao, till he does.

 

Ah, here is the stupid explanation. Certain Kara members were implanted with cell of Otsutsuki Shibai granting them Shinjutsu. Punk got his Belt marks, Moe got reflection powers, Hime has Omnipotence, and he sees the future...good news at least that isn't one of Hime's like me and Phantom feared. i think they mentioned this in part one but only the siblings they have added both Punk and CJ to the list but not the others conveniently. His power is to see possible futures. One of the futures is if Nail had killed Bolt at the end of part one he would have also killed Salad and then Punk would have defeated him and fed him to the tree...so even the manga knows that his plan was stupid. Apparently, CJ had used his power to train Bolt by seeing future powers he would have gotten later on as well as accelerating his training and optimizing his learning...that is useful.

 

Apparently, most possible futures are and then Nail is fed to the tree and everyone dies. Which is honestly kind of funny for how much he was hype up in part one. Now he is just guy who constantly gets fooled, beaten, and most likely fed to a tree. The data must have shown fans really didn't care for him.

 

Flashback over. Surprisingly, Nail has not tried to kill Bolt while he was out. Seriously he has been single mindlessly focus on killing Bolt no matter what so far, but now he got the perfect chance he stays his hand. The daughter wakes up and insta-heals everyone...huh, apparently I have Prescience too or more likely I am very used to this story and how this trite plays itself out. I also see this as further proof Sakura is not going to appear. As why do they need her? When they have the Daughter, who is a far better healer now. They do put cuffs on Bolt while he is out.

 

The chapter ends with Tree-Sasuke being restored and another Tree persons about to be spawned...it's kind of hard to care about the threat as no one but Bolt can fight them and he can one shot them. Also, I'm getting a full side view of Tree-Moegi at the end while I finish typing this...she doesn't have much in the front but has a nice backside. Again, Ikemoto seems to be a legs guy that doesn't seem that interested in the chest department.

 

Trying to find an image I can use...Here. Look at the last panel does it seem off or is it just me?

The last image is drawn quite well.... Are the central figures in an elevated position? 

 

Moegi's drawing at the top, on the other hand, is strange.... It looks like she has had a piece cut off (on her hips and leg).

However, she is very thin despite the backside.

Is simply the ultimate insult to Sakura. 

Sarada will become the property of Hinata's son and she will also be outclassed as a fighter by Hinata's daughter). 

At the same time she, Sakura, will be outclassed as a doctor by the aforementioned daughter... 

There is no such thing as NaruSaku here.

Central figures in an elevated position...looking at the room again its the opposite. There is the world tree acting as the ceiling. In the room there, is a square area with another square area within it that is a black box. The outer square area is actually depressed compared to the rest of the room. The inner square, the black box, is the platform they place the soul bud thorn to create another tree person. Actually, looking at the image again. They are all in that lower area. We are see all three guys entire body, while she is sunk up to her knees into the ground. Even if the square above is showing the area of that outer square Tree-Sasuke is still in the square. Or is he on the edge with one foot in and one out? And even then given the difference between the males and her the difference in his legs' positions should be more blatant.

 

The thing about Tree-Meogi is that Moegi is Ikemoto's favorite character. So any character he should be able draw well, it should be her. With her pose we are getting a view of her side profile with very little distortion. Not helped that the studs on her belt clothing...sigh, can't believe i just wrote that. Goes over her chest. With that, her breast aren't just small but unusually small, even suppressed or almost removed entirely. Likely many of the guys who may read this post has a bigger bust than she does. Even if she is trace of an image of a woman is yoga pants and sport bra that still feels odd. So it just shows to me that Ikemoto really doesn't like women's breast; he is a leg and ass man. Which is a problem as nH fans are breast lovers.

 

When nH fans fantasizes about Naruto female characters or a make harem of them its Hinata, Tsunade, Anko, and Samui they fantasize first and the most. So his taste in women are not appealing to his target demographic.

 

Is simply the ultimate insult to Sakura. 

Sarada will become the property of Hinata's son and she will also be outclassed as a fighter by Hinata's daughter). 

At the same time she, Sakura, will be outclassed as a doctor by the aforementioned daughter... 

There is no such thing as NaruSaku here.

There should be no such thing as a fan of Sakura defending Boruto at this point. The best excuse is that Chie is sick or retired from voice acting and they don't want to get another VA out of respect. I don't know I'm just saying a hypothetical. So they don't want to have Sakura have a big role. Even then its a bad idea. Her teammates are out of commission so in theory she is the strongest Ninja the village has left, her husband went AWOL again, then shoved into a tree with a mockery of him attacking the village, and her daughter has been ostracized by the village for standing up for a traitor. How can a writer with any sense not have at least a scene with her?

 

Would The daughter be stronger than Salad? Salad has her mothers' super strength and her fathers Uchiha powers that were able to match Naruto. The daughter has a stronger connection to Kurama, Hyuuga clan powers which may mean getting Otsutsuki powers later, the super healing ability, and is Hinata's daughter...No, your right she completely outclasses Salad. And she is suppose to end up as hokage and Bolt's dream is to be her shadow.

And someone tried to assassinate Trump again.

 

Summary Time: Chapter 14. Duty...well, clearly not to deliver a good story.

 

Cover page is Clone Jiraiya/Barbarian Hair.

 

Bolt wakes up in a interrogation room and is interrogated by Konohamaru. The cuffs he is bound by, were made by Madoc, prevent him from using his powers...we really only need to be inform an Ikemoto character made it, because if a none Ikemoto character made them; They would come off in a second.

 

OH MY GOD. THEY FINALLY SHOWED SAKURA!!! My God!!! She is badly drawn. After 13 chapters of mocking them for the fact, they refused to used the Naruto character that has to be involved story wise. They finally did... And they are clearly doing to show they don't need her because the daughter's healing is better than hers! She checking out Blond Sai while his mother Ino watches her son with a worried look.

 

Back to the interrogation. They are using the stupid permanent telepathy to have the elders and Madoc listen in...maybe they are using mundane technology like mic and speakers but they have relied on the telepathy hotline so much; that is it by default as far as I am concern unless stated otherwise. Moe and Nail are listening through a play by play Hime is giving with her observation power. Moe taunts Bolt about the obvious, that his lies will easily fall apart if Bolt decides to tell everyone about the perspective flip. Nail blames his actions on Bolt and apparently pragmatism prevented him from killing him while he was unconscious. As he doesn't know what the Tree people are...this shouldn't be impressive but he been such a moron that it almost is.

 

Bolt explains the Tree People...right, this is going to be another exposition dump chapter of information (I swear if it isn't a boring combat chapter with this manga its exposition dumps) most of you should know even just through my summaries. So unless it important, I am going to be very broad and skim through most of it. Madoc gives his guess, which is of course correct...I'm not even reading his lines because he obviously just going to be correct in his guess; as he has been anytime he has had to give a monologue explaining something. Bolt informs them, they need to defeat Tree-Jenga, as he is the leader egging the rest on. They also try to pretend he is not based of Jenga but his own original character...if that was even slightly true then, again, Ikemoto is once again bad at making differences between his characters designs to make them distinguishable. They ask how he knows this, he says he can't say for his source's safety...of course, Madoc probably already guesses its Clone Jiraiya.    

 

They get snippy at him and ask him what happened to Naruto. Shikamaru has an internal monologue about it. Both of them know they need to keep the charade going to make sure Nail doesn't do something...even more stupid than usual if he panics about the truth coming out. Oh by the way Ibiki, Random Leaf Ninja Mook B, was here all along and he will be interrogating Bolt for more information, because he didn't find his answers satisfactory. 

 

Shikamaru contacts Ino through telepathy hotline he also ask Ino to add Bolt to this call. Which has Ino go on a tangent about how the Mind Transmission jutsu can't be used for personal use, all conversation have to be report, and they have already broken five different regulations...is this trying to cover up all the nonsense with this stupid constantly used Telepathy hotline? Also Shikamaru is the Hokage outside the Elders he is the highest authority in the village, I think him asking allows the regulations to be waved, and she already know something big is going on. Also, they have been using it for random conversations ever since Hime was introduce. It has become so ubiquitous in the manga that it has become as common to talk through the telepathy hotline as it is to just speak. This just feels like someone likely a new editor had enough of it and ordered them to stop using it for every conversation; like it has been for like the last 40-50 chapters. For some reason, apparently Blond Sai's injures, she refuses to do it.

 

Ibiki starts his interrogation by slamming Bolt's head to the table then starts beating him up...isn't he suppose to be an expert on mental torture to the point he doesn't need to do anything physical?

 

 

Shikamru puts a stop to this and suggest using Cup's "venom," to get Bolt to talk. They worry about Cups wanting to kill Bolt...sigh, but this scene will have to show he realize that Bolt is his sun. He helps Bolt escape through a snake unlocking his cuffs and send Shikamaru a message that he knows. Bolt grabs his stuff and leaves apologizing to the mooks that were looking after it.

 

Skipping the rest of this scene. So Salad ask Shikamaru how the interrogation went and where Bolt when Kankuro uses the telepathy hotline to inform Shikamru that Gaara and his son were both put into a tree. So I guess the new Tree person, Ryu, is Tree-Gaara. I think. He doesn't look like the actual character or have the characteristic that make him recognizable like most of Ikemoto's character designs.

 

Also just to remind people there are cellphones in this world since at least the Salad Gaiden and in it Shikamaru noted that it was weird that Sasuke didn't have a cellphone. Therefore implying to the point of out right stating, "everyone has a cellphone." But they keep using the telepathy hotline for everything. Hopefully this is where they start to make that less common.
