Me: "Okay two color pages interesting, Naruto and Sasuke on the ground still bleeding to death. Kakashi and Sakura arriving at the valley to be expected. Wait... Sasuke apologizes to Sakura for everything up until now? and she forgives him just like that, okay it's getting weird since she's not responding to Naruto. Sasuke monologue okay even though we just had it in the last chapter, everyone is free from infinite tsukiyomi, Kakashi warns Sasuke about turning evil again, Sakura with a different hair style why is it longer.... Something about that just doesn't seems right why the hell is her hair longer all of a sudden? WTF are you kidding me SS that actually happened! No No that's kitten that makes absolutely no sense there's no way Kishi would just... ugh! Okay so Naruto and Sasuke meet up again and the headband from Part 1 okay that's kinda cool I guess..."

"Shino is the Academy Instructor that's kinda cool I guess, Bolt? Wait what is that seriously his name? That sounds kinda dumb, but okay New generation is okay, designs could've been alot better and wait is that Sasuke and Karin's daughter but I thought that.. okay what's going on? Bolt doing similar things that Daddy use to do kinda nostalgic I guess, but still.. The little girl continues watching over the mischief things Bolt does hmm I wonder... okay we see Gaara Temari, and Konkuro, wait why does Gaara look like Erwin from AoT that's funky!" Okay Bolt has a little sister named Himmawari again designs could've been better, Hinata's a housewife to be expected I guess. Sakura's a housewife ugh.. how disgusting, and the girl is Sasuke and Sakura's daughter and her name is Salada? What's with the crazy names, oh well. So Bolt and Salada have something in common that's kinda interesting... Okay so Naruto not giving his son any attention how neglectful. Old Iruka and Oh mna Akamaru the years haven't been too kind for you. TenTen I feel so bad for you right now, The old Kage ehh Onoki should've died, and the new kages so the summit begins. The last page is a nice call back to the first page. THe New generation aren't bad, but What the hell did I just read?"
