Ok, so here's what I thought about this chapter:
- A blade arm? This new bad guy really looks like a killer from a cheap slash horror now.
- "All I have to do right now is help mom" - I hope this means Salad will still pursue the truth about her origins, only later on.
- Sauce: "Naruto, I leave the sensing up to you". Naruto: "Oh!" Me:
- One little panel of Sakura fighting Shin aaand that's about it, folks. No badas/s Sakura for you, sorry. Just like expected.
- Well, I suppose Sasuke checking if Sakura is alright does count as a romantic moment if you compare it with their previous interactions. We can call it OOC, but it's still a big positive change in his attitude. I mean, for anybody else, helping a fellow ninja would just be the expected behavior of a decent human being, but this is Sasuke we're talking about.
- At this point I don't know if I should feel angry at Kishi for making Salad warm up to Sasuke so easily or feel sad for this girl bc she needs a proof that her parents have a normal relationship as badly as SS fans lol.
- Honestly, I half expected Naruto to go all talk no jutsu on little Shins for talking about not needing their father anymore, I mean he was the family expert last chapter, after all. Also Salad and Chouchou can hear the Shins, what kind of example is that for them lol? Next thing you know, they'll have the same philosophy.
- The chubby Shin (the normal-sized one) is so cute, gah.
- The big chubby Shin was too much though. What is it, SnK? Making such a clone doesn't make any sense.
- Salad kills the little thing so easily... But... How... What...
- Why the kitten does Salad have Sakura's enhanced strength?! Why?! This is the first time I'm having such a "nerd being mad bc the rules are being ignored" moment with Gaiden. But seriously, does this mean Sakura was teaching her to control her chakra on such a high level at the tender age of 10 or what?! But why didn't Salad use this when little Shin first attacked her and Chouchou?! What the heck! Or did Kishi just retcon the basic sharingan to copy the chakra control skills of others too? *sighs*
- Sasuke does more fighting in this chapter than Naruto. Again.
All in all, it was rather boring. Nothing to really laugh about this week...
