Summary time.
Because they delayed the release of the last chapter we are actually getting another chapter far earlier then normal. This does not make me happy but at least I'm not wanting another month to tell you how uninteresting this plot is.
Title page is Naruto and Bolt reading from a scroll. This is because of the movie they "resolved" the daddy issues. Which means all Bolt has left that makes him interesting is his apprenticeship under Sasuke.
It starts off with a showing of the Kara group. Wait are these guys people that wear opera mask or do they just have stupid tattoos on their faces to make it look like they have masks? They are talking about their evil plan or something, maybe they know about Bolt's tattoo... somehow? Their is main guy with a diamond mark on his chin and the letter M under his left eye. Some guy that looks like a standard blacksmith from fantasy video games with lines going down his face. A girl with very curly hair with something on her forehead. An old man with an eye patch or a tattoo over his right eye also a V tattoo on his left temple. And one guy that looks like he wearing a mask similar to captain Vengeance from Black Clover with long barbarian viking like hair. The old man is having some problem with what they are discussing. So the main guy ends their meeting which was done by a jutsu similar to how he akatsuki used to have their meetings, but the akatsuki were just faded specters/shadows and they are instead exactly what they look like. This is so when the meeting is over the Barbarian hair can be behind the old man in his house without him noticing until after the meeting ends. He then kills the old man by blowing him up, then says something.
Ikemoto is drawing them better then when he does the characters that were made by Kishimoto but they do not look like Naruto characters. To be honest these character to me look something similar to characters from Vinland Saga or Black Clover (though not as good). So bluntly they seem really out of place, and to me show he really should have gone off and did his own manga.
There designs are nothing to write home about what with looking fairly generic but they are at least decent compared to the other characters.
Now back to the characters he can't draw. Naruto and Bolt are having a sparing match. Bolt uses his vanishing throwing rasengan but Naruto is able to dispel it? Bolt uses some breath attack which Naruto counters by making a wall. Hey look he did bother to learn a jutsu in the last 18 years. Naruto sticks his bandage hand through the wall to distract Bolt while he gets him from behind. God could we go back to those Akatsuki rip offs. The art is horrid now. The match ends with Naruto and his malformed jaw praising Bolt.
At the hokage tower Bolt starts ranting...hopefully not about his daddy issues. I thought we were done with that. Naruto shows him a robot arm and explain something that reminds Bolt of the effeminate one. Sasuke comes in to talk to Bolt.
Konohamaru investigates a crashed Zeppelin. Notices something. Someone with a robot foot sneaks up behind him.
The writer does not know how to write a monthly manga. This is not a chapter worth waiting a month to figure out what happens next. Also Ikemoto should not be doing this manga. He is awful at copying Kishimoto's art style effectively. But judging by the Kara he is a decent artist with his own stuff.
