From a few days ago: "Here let me guess: Madoc explains kitten again. Nail and Fem-Bolt fight because Naruto is useless. Something 'shocking' that hopefully makes people want to read this year's cycle... someone looks like they are about to die and it is probably a fake-out, again."
Summary Time: Chapter 66. Do or Die. If only someone told the people making this manga do a decent story or just kill it.
Cover page is Nail with Karma.
Nail remembers his conversations with Madoc about getting the karma seal again. Apparently, according to Hime Nail already had karma, Madoc re-installed it in him when he replaced his right arm...even thought the seal is on Nail's left side. He just need to want it to appear again...wow. Three pages in and I already just want to skim through this to be done with this chapter after that; that is a record. Of course, Hime is talking to Punk while he is holding Shikamaru so he realizes he must be talking to someone. Fem-Bolt see Nail's Karma and is impressed since apparently Karma does not usually re-manifest then correctly guess that it was Madoc doing; gotta love how every guess is correct in this story. He also chastises him since he just letting himself be used till he will eventually be fed to the Ten-Tails, so they can consume the planet...granted yes, but isn't that what Femmy would want? Also, he clearly has access to Bolt memories. Great, Nail has some new eye powers. It allows him to launch Pein's iron rods at Fem-Bolt. Naruto recognizes that attack. He then swipes his hand and launches wooden-flesh spikes. Then those stupid giant boxes from Jenga. Nail tells Naruto to stay still since Shikamaru is still held hostage.
Fight. Fight. Fight. Nail starts winning and is about to crush Bolt with a giant box, but Naruto dives in to save him. Punk points out that since Naruto moved he should kill Shikamaru to punish him, but doesn't see any point and says they should just watch the fight. Naruto and Nail start arguing and Naruto is not keeping an eye on Fem-Bolt...are they going to have Bolt kill Naruto? Please. Please. Please. Oh. Bolt woke up. Apparently, Madoc's pills help him be able to wake up even while he is still possessed by Femmy. Bolt and Nail talk and the decide to go with their plan from...months back. Where if they couldn't implant Karma in Punk they would have Nail absorb it instead to see if that frees Bolt. Naruto question what they're about to do, but Bolt causally pushes him aside with a wind attack...world's strongest ninja everyone.
Oh the fake-out is Nai looks like he kills Bolt...which you all know that, that is impossible and this is probably to absorb karma or something which of course will work, because God grant me mercy and make something interesting happen in this story instead is this trite.
Reminder to everyone, that Naruto is in Sage mode this entire chapter.
