Chapter 8

It would appear that the long awaited question has finale been answered and Sarada now knows that her mother really is Karin, one of Sasuke's old team members and not Sakura. The web of mysteries surrounding Sarada and her upbringing are still missing some details though so hopefully once this is all over Sasuke and Sakura can explain it better, for Sarada's sake. Obviously, this is an insanely emotional chapter as Naruto was waiting right outside the room once Sarada found out the truth. Hopefully he can use some of his classic Naruto attitude to help her out and turn the situation around until he can smack around Sasuke for a little while but Sasuke will prove to pull a surprising amount of emotion out of this chapter as well, in his own way. The action looks as though it is about to kick back into action by the end of this week so I am certainly amped up to see what's coming up next. 

Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage 2 - The boy with the Sharingan...!!

Chapter 2

Hey everybody, sorry for the delay but this week's chapter just slipped by me and as some of you know this series isn't weekly so the scheduling for it is a little up in the air but never mind my excuses let's dig in. It would seem that dear ole' Sasuke may have some explaining to do when his daughter discovers a portrait of him and Sakura was actually a forgery made my Sakura to make it look like they were standing by one another. His daughter Sarada also discovers a woman, Karin, who has the same distinct look and glasses as she does in the photo. Could Karin be her real mother? Well, that mystery still continues forward but Sasuke also gets an unpleasant surprise this chapter and is attack by an unknown ninja with a power that no other person should have anymore besides him. Shadows are lurking in the background and something may be underway and Naruto is about to join in on the action as well because with another Sharingan around you cannot be too careful. 

Before I leave you all till the next chapter I want to say I'm quite interested in the direction that this manga is going. Judging by the hype and most of the images, I expected this to be a show about Naruto's son Bolt but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm definitely intrigued and I feel like this short manga will go interesting places. So follow the link above and I'll see you all next time.

To be honest, this week's chapter was fairly dull in terms of major plot developments, aside from the end.  Captain Kuchiki finally awoke, and must now begin training, and Renji and Rukia have begun training with squad 0.  At the Kurosaki home, Yuzu is preparing food for the family and life goes on as normal.  However, when Ichigo's friends are walking to school, they discuss his absence.  Then, Captain Kyoraku, the new Head Captain of the Gotei 13 appears, telling them about how they will eventually have to part ways with Ichigo.  The only other thing worth mentioning is that the rest of the Vizards make an appearance, and it looks as though they are on assignment from Shinji and squad 12 to fix the "distortion" between the World of the Living and the Soul Society.  Tune back in next week to see what else is in store.
