Summary Time: It's actually translated before the weekends is done for once. "Hands."

 

Cover: This is the 'Ao' arc. So this isn't even fighting against Kara they are just fighting against one of its agents. The image is Bolt and cups sparring against Salad...they messed up Salad's uchiha symbol the fan is completely white here. The top is suppose to be red.

 

They arrive at "The Advance Technology Research Institute." That is an awfully generic name. They could have at least named it after someone, or said that it was Konoha's research institute. They enter and the Clone immediately finds them, and then starts serving the group tea. She now works at the research institute. Then we meet sleazy inventor's assistant... that literally looks like an older Salad, Inuzuka Akita. So she's also one of Kiba's clan member. She get affectionate with the artificial limb, and the sleazy inventor. Where are her clan tattoos/marks?

 

Turns out that their mission wasn't just to escort him to his lab but to also test some of his equipment. So they spar the same way it happened on the cover. Salad wins by dropping a smoke bomb machine. Sorry a "smoke-flash bomb." It is impractical. Its start out with releasing the smoke then does the flash, but the smoke could lessen the effect of the flash bang. It should be a flash bang first then release the smoke. Also as always, everything she does comes off as sexual or she is doing sexual poses. But we also have the older version of Salad also doing that as well.

 

Then they go into another room that disrupts off all sound waves so no-one can hear anything. Then another room where they put on boots and gloves that let them crawl like spiderman. Bolt has been complaining the entire time, but eventually the "cooler" devices amaze him. There also a flying ninja kite. Bolt get thrown into a wall so the Clone can heal him with another invention, some spray that accelerates healing. Then he see a dog that has the sleazy inventor artificial limbs in order to walk. This entire chapter been so far to teach Bolt that he should let go of his grudge against sleazy inventor by showing how great he and his invention are...then why was he so desperate to show then off in the chunin exams, and ran into the fight against the effeminate one in order to show them off? He seems to have a lot of invention as well as respect, and I don't see anything saying he is financially strained. So why did he do it? Just to show off his inventions? He came off as to sleazy and manipulative for some as simple as that. Also the clone is next to him while he is being lecture by the older Salad. So who knows maybe they were told to make the pairing a possibility in the manga as well. Well that won't please the SS fans.

 

Then the sleazy inventor comes in and gives Bolt....god damn it! kitten you! kitten you! Cliche kittens!  A Light(ning) Saber. No I'm not joking. It a chakra blade the uses a person chakra to make the blade, and for bolt that is lightning. So bolt officially forgives the sleazy inventor. Wait he made Naruto's hand? I thought that was Tsunade that did that?

 

Naruto calls and informs them of Konohamaru's mission. They of course are the closest team nearby. They agree to accept the mission, and we also learn Bolt's catch phrase "'ttebasa." Then the chapter ends with Naruto, Shikamaru, and Sai discussing how much of a threat Kara is.

 

Next releases on Christmas. What an awful gift. 

 

The background were very generic, and I sure at this point the art is now set in it's ways and won't be changing anymore. So it overall comes off as mediocre average, and that won't change anytime soon.

He has to learn the forgiveness early on. If he learns to forgive a crappy inventor now, in a few years he can forgive the guy who murdered his parents and ruined his life because he had a sob story. Then when he's an adult he can forgive someone like Orochimaru who didn't even have that.

So Bolt is not Burrito or Naruto's son. He is "blond blued-eyed Sasuke" 2.0 :zaru:

That's so obvious that it kind of sad. Granted that was clear the second one saw Bolt vs Nail and realize it just Naruto and Sasuke final battle 2.0.

 

So Bolt is not Burrito or Naruto's son. He is "blond blued-eyed Sasuke" 2.0 :zaru:

From what I recall Kishimoto for Boruto based him off Naruto with minor differences -from a loud obnoxious brat to a whiny spoiled brat-. While Salad was originally imagined as a female Sasuke. Now obviously their were some changes to their personalities. Grant Bolt's are mostly due to different interpretations more then actual characteristic added. Salad on the other hand happened because people pointed out that she looked and behaved like SK daughter in the ending. So to fix that she started acting more like Sakura by the gaiden.

Wait, can't they already do some of this stuff with chakra already? Boots and gloves that help people climb? Why? Chakra manipulation had them walking up trees, on water, and more. Even Rock Lee could do it and he was chakra inept. Why need the glove or boots at all?
 

 

Then the sleazy inventor comes in and gives Bolt....god damn it! kitten you! kitten you! Cliche kittens!  A Light(ning) Saber. No I'm not joking. It a chakra blade the uses a person chakra to make the blade, and for bolt that is lightning. So bolt officially forgives the sleazy inventor. Wait he made Naruto's hand? I thought that was Tsunade that did that?

 

So again, Boruto can't do this himself...he needs inventions to make him do it for him.

They make this kitten for Boruto to use, but when I say "I think Naruto would have been badass if he used a kodachi infused with wind chakra" people look at me like I am nuts.

 

 

So Bolt is not Burrito or Naruto's son. He is "blond blued-eyed Sasuke" 2.0 :zaru:

Bold: I think you mean "Boruto's dad's son." :zaru:

Yeah because the "massive punch strength" and shouting "shannaro" proved genetically that Sakura is Salad's mom...even though Sakura is not Tsunade's daughter despite being the same way.

I agree James just because Sarada is doing what Sakura did proves nothing, we all know the sad truth Sasuke and Karin dumped Sarada on Sakura all SP need to do is wait for the right time and then BOOM they can kitten over Sakura even more James as come on we all know they hate Sakura and doing this will make the higher up who love Hinata smile.

Yes and Bolt even points it out, constantly. Honestly the only thing that really stands out are the artificial limbs, and a rip off lightsaber. And that thing literally looks like a light saber hilt.

 

Also that woman really does look like Salad all grown up? Clearly FirstEvil the truth is, she is Salad's real mom not Sakura or Karin.

It really feels like Kishimoto and...whoever this author is...just have two different ideas on how this all plays out.

At least the Tenchi Muyo lightsaber had more thought put into it.

The artifical limbs at least can make sense....actually it looks like this author is purposely ripping off Star Wars. Is that what is going to happen? Naruto becomes evil: "Waah, from my point of view, the Ninja are evil." Sasuke cuts off his arms and legs, Naruto gets artifical limbs, Sasuke grows old, and have Bolt and Himawari taken away.

Then have Darth Naruto go up to Bolt:"

Bolt: "You killed my father."
Darth Naruto: "No, I am your father. Join me and together we can rule the nations as father and son."

Bolt: "No, that's not true...that's impossible."

We can see Naruto force choke Hinata out of anger and Orochimaru take him under saying "In your anger you have destroyed her."

I'm still just both shock & unimpressed at the same time about how bland and generic all those inventions were. I hope kishi wasn't the one that came up with them because if he did...it's kind of a good thing he isn't doing he kitten sci-fi manga and is stuck on Boruto. He would have just bored all the readers with the blandness of the technology.

cant they wall walk with chakra already? What's the point of  wall crawling gloves and boots then? :zaru: and don't they already have Chakra light sabers? I don't imagine that "completely chakra energy blades" are unachievable given that they run chakra through their conventional weapons anyway which is essentially the same thing

Their is also that spray that accelerates healing. Now granted not everyone has access to medical ninja healing.  But why would you need that when you can just get Hinata to create her special ointment that cures all wounds and may even revive the dead?

Well they live in an "Era of Peace" (despite the last generation growing up in a time of peace as well), and they are apparently all naturally gifted geniuses.

I think "Geniuses" might be a code word for the opposite--to spare their wittle feelings. What is the point in even training these kids to fight if they're "living in a time of unprecedented peace."  Apparently the worlds not so peaceful if you need child soldiers in waiting.

Because this is an action manga. So these kids need to know how to fight as well as have cool abilities in order to have interesting fights, and training takes too much time. Also as shown in the very first page of this manga Naruto failed entirely in any of his goal other then just obtaining the position of Hokage, and the cycle of violence continued onto the next generation.

Because Hinata would not give tht to anyone other than her "boy toy" :zaru:  :lmao:

 

But in all seriousness that sounds at least WAY MORE useful than that other crap
