Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring


READ in: SPANISH | ENGLISH





Chapter 701



WOW! FIRST MANGA, AND ALREADY SO MUCH HAPPENING!

This first chapter really feels you in back to when the original Naruto manga first started appearing in Shonen Jump magazine. It really gets back to you, and is surprisingly so far based around the point of view of Sarada, so-called Sasuke and Sakura's daughter. We also see some action from the other next gen kids, and even get glimpses of older characters such as Choji, and of course Naruto!
  • The manga starts off with Shino Aburane, now a sensei for the next generation ninja academy students, showing off the classic ninja headband and reminding the students that their graduations are next week!
  • Boruto and the others seem to be very psyched about it, however, Sarada Uchiha is rather pretty frusterated, wondering exactly what it means to be a ninja, and their purpose of the exams. Already, she shows a somewhat Sasuke-like character, and also has some of her own personality traits as well!
  • After being released from class, Sarada and Cho-Chou, Choji's daughter, take a walk around the village, when Chou-Chou starts complaining to Sarada about how annoying her dad can be, as he's always embarrassing her and picking out the wrong flavor of chips (she's Choji's daughter, all right!)
  • Sarada then reassures Chou-Chou that her dad isn't that bad of a person, and comments to herself how lucky Chou-Chou is to at least spend time with her dad.
  • Sarada then leaves off Chou-Choi to be with her dad.
  • The manga then shifts to Naruto and his son Boruto, playing a game of Hide-and-Seek! It's so great to see old Naruto again!
  • Naruto has a hard time finding his own son in hide-and-seek (especially without his Sennin mode), and Sai and his son make their appearance, as Sai talks about how petty Naruto is being about the whole game.
  • Sarada happens to walk by and catches them playing, and sees Boruto duck for cover from his dad.
  • Naruto sees Sarada, and asks where Boruto went. Sarada, being the wonderful person she is, points in the completely different direction of where Boruto actually is.
  • WHOOP WHOOP! After Boruto thanks Sarada for helping him beat his record, Shikamaru and his son make an appearance as well, and Shikamaru uses his famous shadow-possessing jutsu on Boruto.
  • Shikamaru tells Boruto that Naruto is very busy as a Hokage and shouldn't be causing him any more trouble, but also recalls that Naruto used to act the very same way as a child.
  • Hearing this, Sarada remembers that she never met her own father, Sasuke, as he left when she was merely a baby.
  • Sarada makes her way home, and decides to ask Sakura if Sasuke ever wore glasses, and Sakura claims he doesn't which makes Sarada's suspicion about Sasuke and Sakura's relationship rise.
  • Sarada then questions Sakura if she is indeed her real mother. Sakura, furiated, denies it, and Sarada points out how strange their relationship is, which makes Sakura raise her voice at Sarada.
  • Sakura apologizes, and assures Sarada that Sasuke is on an important job, and will be back very soon. As she says this the house that Sakura and Sarada lived in crashes down suddenly. Sakura, at the sight of this, faints as well.
  • Shizune takes in Sakura to help her regain her health, and Sarada lets Shizune know that she will go back to the house to regain their belongings.
  • Sarada, amongst the torn house, finds the picture frame with her Sasuke, and Sakura on it, only to find Sasuke's picture actually is a bigger one, revealing an old photo of Sasuke and Team Taka.
  • Next to Sasuke in the photo is Karin, who also happens to wear glasses, as Sarada does. Sarada shocked, wonders

Chapter 702



MAN. THIS IS STILL GETTING ME PUMPED UP! So many new characters introduced, it's almost overwhelming! We also get to see some CHOU-CHOU action! Sarada and Chou-Chou have turned out to be such interesting characters...let's see where this story takes them!!

  • YES! The manga leaves off where Sasuke was still yet on his mysterious 'journey'
  • It isn't too soon before Sasuke is immediately attacked by a mysterious figure, who appears to be very strong and puts up a good fight against Sasuke!
  • As Sasuke fights the enemy, he notices that the enemy has the Uchiha family crest on the back of his shirt, along with having sharingan eyes of his own
  • Sasuke, very shocked and surprised, asks who this more son is, but gets no response, and the mysterious new figure disappears!
  • Meanwhile, Sarada is still studying the picture she found of her dad as a teen, Sasuke, and team Taka. Sakura is still recovering on her bed
  • Shizune walks in, and Sarada ask Shizune on why her birth records aren't recorded, and pleads Shizune to tell her any info known on her birth
  • Shizune tries not to tell Sarada too much, and Sarada shows her the picture of Karin
  • Later that day, Chou-Chou and her parents are out eating, and Sarada happens to stop by and see them all!
  • Chou-Chou, seeing Sarada, tells her about how she really thinks that she doesn't look anything like her Father Choji, or her mother, much to Sarada's disbelief (Oh, Chou-Chou, you..... :D)
  • A mysterious new fellow named Mitsuki overhears their conversation and walks in on them, telling them that it's common for girls their age to question their existence and self-worth (honestly the soap opera is strong in this one XP)
  • Sarada notes that he's the boy from the other village, and Mistuki recognizes Sarada as one of the few Uchiha
  • Sarada then starts to wonder who exactly she is, as the scene then shifts back to the mysterious ninja whom Sasuke encountered
  • The newly discovered Uchiha talks to a shady figure in an akatsuki cloak (identity unknown! 0.0), on how strong Sasuke is, and how Sasuke killing Itachi is unforgivable in his eyes, and the mysterious-cloaked figure agrees
  • Meanwhile, Chou-Chou tells Sarada that she plans to go on a journey to find her 'real parents'
  • Hearing this, Sarada gets an idea to find and go to sasuke herself in order to ask him about her real mother, and if she can't find Sasuke, she would plan to find Karin and ask her as well
  • The story shifts to Naruto Uzumaki himself, placing orders for headbands with Shikamaru. Sasuke sent a ninja falcon to alert Naruto of the newly discovered Uchiha, and Naruto ends up calling Kakashi right away to tell him about it
  • Kakashi then suspects that the new figure is probably a real descendant of the uchiha, or one of Orochimaru's experiments
  • Naruto then plans to get the rest of the information from Sasuke himself, with, upon Sarada walking in and hearing this, decides to follow Naruto in order to find her dad
  • Sarada makes her way to follow Naruto, and Chou-Chou ends up catching up with her, on joining her on her journey, hoping to find her 'real' dad


This chapter has made Naruto fans alike WAY more confused than ever. Who's the mysterious cloaked fellow in the akastuki uniform? Is it a orochimaru, or an entirely new person? Who is the mysterious guy with the funky hair and sharingan? Will Sarada and Chou-Chou EVER discover their true selves? WELL, let's find out in the next chapter to come! :D




Chapter 703



AHHHHH apologies for the late reviews! I'm new here, and I just started to get the hang of all of this, so from here on out, everything should be posted on time! That's my promise! *epic thumbs up*

Not a lot happens in this chapter in terms of the plot, and questions being revealed, but we do see a lot more relationships popping up! HOW EXCITING!

  • This chapter starts off with Naruto asking Shikamaru to apologize for Boruto on his behalf, and hurries on towards the scene of the action
  • Sarada and Chou-Chou, still very close behind, follow Naruto as he makes his way, but Chou-Chou trips, and the journey for them seems like a very long one indeed!
  • In the meantime, Mitsuki, Shikmaru, and a very disappointed Boruto make their way
  • Boruto, not having been able to give the lunch to his dad Naruto, gives up on his delivery and heads back, when Sarada and Chou-Chou come up
  • Mitsuki asks Chou-Chou to come with him, as her 'symptoms' apparently need to be treated
  • Sarada tells Boruto that she is more than happy to give the lunch to Naruto, but Boruto insists that he would just take the lunch back home himself and let his mother know
  • Sarada however tells Boruto that bentos are special lunches made by loved ones, and that he should really give it to Naruto. Boruto agrees for Sarada to take it with her to give to Naruto
  • Chou-Chou comes back from her talk with Mitsuki, and joins up with Sarada, of course assuming that Mitsuki was 'totes' hitting on her
  • As they make their way, a mysterious sharingan creature watches Sarada and Chou-Chou from afar. The caster, the mysterious cloaked akatsuki figure, address his partner (the newly found Uchiha boy who met up with Sasuke) by the name of Shin, and asks Shin to bring him Sarada Uchiha
  • The cloaked akatsuki figure is revealed to have sharingan of his own, which seemed to have been stitched up for a while
  • As Sarada and Chou-Chou follow Naruto, Naruto senses them with his sage jutsu,a me decides to come to them rather than air for them to catch up to him
  • Sarada and Chou-Chou, exhausted, stop for a minute when Shin arrives in front of them, and addresses himself to them, asking Sarada to come with him (also claiming that his 'father (cloaked akatsuki figure) needs for her to come)
  • Sarada, shocked at the fact that another Uchiha still loves in her time besides her father, refuses, and Shin Uchiha proceeds to attack the two young ninja
  • Chou-Chou is revealed to have the same jutsu as her father (partial expansion jutsu), and defends and attacks Shin Uchiha
  • Shin however, being fast and agile, manages to avoid lost of the attacks, and is about to land a fatal blow onto Chou-Chou when Naruto Uzimaki manages to show up and block the attack
  • Naruto Uzumaki, standing before Sarada and Chou-Chou, prepares to defend them, and seems to recognize who Shin Uchiha is


The chapter mainly focused on Boruto's relationship with his dad, and how shallow it may seem, especially since Naruto is the hokage! We also get to see and learn more about Shin Uchiha, and the cloaked akatsuki figure, and their relationship with one another. Naruto himself also seems to suspiciously know a lot about Shin Uchiha, as he recognizes him right away. Who exactly are these newly found villains? The questions keep coming!!

Honestly at this point, Shin Uchiha will always be known as Onion-chan to me. I mean just.....

JUST.....

HIS HAIR......

Chapter 704



HAHA! Man, this chapter contained so much in 20 pages! This is such a great start to the next series of Naruto! We get to see some Naruto action, and learn more about Sarada, and even Sasuke! Such a riveting chapter, this makes me want the next one to come like RIGHT now! Ugh.....well, I suppose the wait is most certainly worth it! Haha!

  • The chapter continues from when Shin Uchiha attacked Sarada and Chou-Chou! Naruto is prepared to fight, and Chou-Chou looks upon her senpai and newly found father with great awe and pride!
  • Naruto plans to make the fight a short one, and as Onion-Chan (Shin Uchiha) prepares to battle, Naruto sees that Shin has the Mangekyo Sharingan, which proves him to be a much stronger foe.
  • As Onion-chan (Shin) awakens his next level of Sharingan, he attempts to attack Naruto from behind using a weapon-related jutsu. Naruto, being as strong and experienced as he is, manages to sense the attack
  • The jutsu springs out multiple needle-like projectiles aimed all at Naruto. Naruto however manages to block all of them using....his Nine-Tails form! Long time no see, eh? :D
  • Kurama himself asks Naruto if he still wants to fight after all the time that has passed. Naruto reassures Kurama that he'll only fight a little
  • As Naruto attacks with his nine-tails chakra, Onion-Shin-Uchiha manages to swiftly avoid the attack, and Naruto is quite amazed at this!
  • However, a small sharingan-eyed creature appears at the scene, and tells Shin to back down for now, as he can't take on Naruto by himself (LAMMMMMMEEEEEEE).
  • The mysterious sharingan-creature (probably sent by the Akatsuki-cloaked figure) uses a space-time teleportation jutsu to send Onion-Shin-Uchiha back to wherever they came from, much to Naruto's surprise, as he hasn't seen that jutsu used in a very long time!
  • As Shin disappears, Naruto, Chou-Chou, and Sarada make their way back, when Sarada  finds the bento lunch made by Boruto.
  • As Chou-Chou talks to Naruto about her wanting him to be her senpai desu papa father, Naruto also says how Shin wasn't targeting Chou-Chou, but rather Sarada. When Sarada asks why that is, Naruto pats her on the head with a sympathetic look on his face and tells her not to worry, as Sarada blushes with gratitude (d'awwwwww)!
  • Naruto tells the young ninja that he will take Sarada to meet her father, Sasuke. When Naruto asks Sarada to tell Chou-Chou how her dad is like, he remembers that Sarada has never seen her father, as he travels far away
  • Sarada then hands Naruto the bento meal, and Naruto is very pleased indeed, especially having it received from his own son Boruto!
  • Naruto recalls how when he was a kid, Sakura and Sasuke also fed him lunch they weren't allowed to.
  • As Naruto, Chou-Chou, and Sarada eat lunch together, Naruto talks about how Sasuke was popular with the girls (like him) had good grades (like him. Pffttt) but also had very bad social skills, much to Sarada's dismay. But Naruto also says how Sasuke has been his rival, and that has never changed
  • Naruto also talks to Sarada about how she reminded him of Sasuke and a little bit of Sakura out in the battlefield. Sarada is very happy to hear this, and the three of them continue heading towards the tower, where Sasuke is located
  • Naruto insists that they all rest, but being so near the tower as it is, Sarada is restless and wants to continue the journey, since they're so close
  • Naruto however tells Sarada to calm down and rest for a bit before they head over. Sarada disappointed, 'agrees', but then asks Naruto if she could use the restroom
  • With this excuse, Sarada makes her way towards the tower by herself, and ends up entering it, where Sasuke is waiting
  • Sarada finally sees her father, with tears in her eyes, but as Sasuke sees Sarada, the meeting does not go as planned
  • Sasuke looks at Sarada and asks her if she belongs with the 'creep', and Sarada, to her horror, looks back at him with wide, confused eyes as Sasuke seemingly defends himself


So far, the mysterious Shin Uchiha and mysteriously cloaked Akatsuki figure have proven to not be doing much at the moment (I mean wow, he fought for like, two seconds XD). But just what is UP with Sasuke? I feel as if it's either a huge misunderstanding, or that person might not even be Sasuke at all! But I do feel bad for poor Sarada, she seems to be having it quite rough, and she's left alone! Hopefully Naruto can sense that she's gone and go after her to rescue her!

What do you guys think is going to happen? Who do you feel is Sarada's real mother? How will the meeting between Sarada and Sasuke play out? Leave your opinions in the comments! ;>




Chapter 705



MAN. The whole who's-Sarada's-real-mother ordeal really comes to light in this chapter! Sadly, it's not really as dwelled upon as I wanted it to be, but interesting nonetheless! And we get to see more of the past situations involving Onion-chan (Shin Uchiha!)!

  • Like where it left off, Sasuke at first doesn't even recognize who Sarada is! He manages to almost stab her with his sword, but Sarada thankfully manages to move out of the way, although she is terrified and deeply saddened at this (SASUKE I FREAKING SWEAR LAY UP YOU BIG EMO JERK).
  • Sasuke, after taking a better look at Sarada after this, finally recognizes her (took you long enough, sir Uchiha)
  • Sarada points out how she knew right away that Sasuke was her father, despite her not seeing him too often. Sasuke simply sighs, and Naruto right away bolts in, not surprisingly! That guy sure knows when to make his appearances!
  • Sasuke becomes angry that Naruto dragged Sarada and Chou-Chou into his mission, and Chou-Chou (of COURSE) hopes that the 'handsome' Uchiha is actually her real father as well (lol nice try)
  • Sarada then tells Sasuke she followed him in order to ask him 'The Big Question'. Sasuke asks what it is, and she finally asks Sasuke if Sakura is her real mother
  • Meanwhile, Sakura, having finally awakened from her ill state, is told by Shizune everything that Sarada had done and relays to her the supposed location of Sarada to Sakura
  • Sakura recalls how troublesome Sarada can be, and rushes over to the scene, hoping to see Sarada in time to perhaps explain everything
  • Going back to Sarada, Sasuke only responds to her questions asking what had happened back at home. Angered by Sasuke's nonchalant reply, Sarada yells and asks Sasuke where he's been this whole time, and shows him the picture of him, Karin, and Team Taka
  • Sasuke refuses to say anything for the time being. Frustrated, Sarada asks why he's always on missions and what he's actually doing
  • Sasuke tells Sarada that the whole situation has nothing to do with her, making Sarada upset. Sarada runs out of the tower, with Sasuke looking back at her
  • Naruto seeing this, rushes back to get Sarada, and has a flashback on the discussion made with Sasuke and the other village Kage, where Sasuke mentioned the whereabouts of an enemy even more dangerous than Kaguya was
  • However, to not cause fear among the villages who were still recovering from the war, Sasuke and the Kage planned to make it secret for the time being
  • Sasuke then planned to go on a top secret mission to discover more about the enemy, not letting Naruto join him so Naruto could protect the village
  • Remembering this, Naruto talks to Sarada about how admirable Sasuke is as an ninja, and that she should believe him on that.
  • Meanwhile, Shin Uchiha and the Akatsuki cloaked figure make their appearance, and the cloaked Akatsuki figures removes his cloak, revealing him as a full 'Akatsuki' member, and how he plans to resurrect the organization once more
  • onion-chanShin Uchiha, practically being the Akatsuki member's right hand man, agrees to go along with the plan, as multiple Shin Uchiha's are also seen as well, bowing to the Akatsuki Uchiha member as the main Shin Uchiha is MULTIPLE ONIONS? DOPPLEGANGERS? WHAT IS THIS
  • Using the small Sharingan creature, they transport themselves to the tower area where Sasuke, Naruto, Chou-Chou, and Sarada are, and attempt to land a surprise attack onto Naruto and Sarada
  • Naruto, sensing their presence, manages to reflect back the projectiles using his nine-tails form once more!
  • Sasuke ends up joining the fight, and the Sharingan-Akastuki-Member plans to fight one-on-one with Sasuke Uchiha...two Sharingan users, dualing it out


WOW. So much in one chapter! Although we still don't know for certain on Sarada being the mother of Sakura (despite the details of the chapter), we at least get to now know why Sasuke had to be so far away from Sarada this whole time, and to see a flashback of Naruto and Sasuke's relationship as older people THEYRE TOTES A MARRIED COUPLE (jk). We also get to see the full face of the cloaked Akatsuki figure who was with Shin, and his motives for what he's doing. Resurrecting the Akatsuki? Really?

What do you all think about this new enemy's motives? What theories do you have on Sasuke's mission or the truth about Sarada's real mother?

CANT WAIT YOU GUYS!

Chapter 706



AW YEAH! This chapter feels like such a quick one, but that's because we see a lot of fighting between Team 7, and the mysterious Sharingan-covered guy!

  • Like where it left off, Sasuke is about to duel with the now-revealed Sharingan figure! Sarada calls out to her father as she sees him fight the powerful enemy!
  • Sasuke leads off with his shooting shuriken projectiles, but the opponent manages to easily avoid them! The Sharingan-possessing enemy continues charging towards Sasuke, and grabs Sasuke's sword! OH MY
  • As the Sharingan-possessing enemy lets go of the sword and makes his way to attack, Naruto immediately notices that onion-chan Shin Uchiha has prepared an attack as well, and prepares to hit Sasuke with it!
  • However, we all know Sasuke is wayyyyy smarter than that! Using his rinnegan, he manages to get past the BOTH of them, and manage to pull off a good FIRE-STYLE-JUTSU (man, we haven't since what, 1999? lel)
  • However, Sharingan-dude also manages to spot the jutsu with his own Sharingan on the back of his head, but him and Shin Uchiha still manage to get REKED (and by REKT I mean burned)
  • Sarada is very impressed with Papa Uchiha, and Naruto and Sasuke both watch as Shin Uchiha and the other sharingan-guy plop to the ground, and the sharigan-guy comments on how powerful Sasuke's eyes are!
  • Naruto tells Sarada that Sasuke isn't nearly done with his reckoning, and the Sharingan-guy tells them how he is indeed a survival of the Akatsuki, and goes by the name of Shin Uchiha.....as well? (dun dun dunnnnnn)
  • Sarada notices this, and Sasuke says that he just wants to get the truth for now, and worry about smaller details later!
  • Naruto comments on how the two might actually be father and son, and recalls that the 'father' Shin Uchiha used Onion-chan without any hesitation as a shield
  • Sasuke at this time then tells Naruto to take care of the kids while he continues attacking the father Shin Uchiha. However, the Father- Shin- Uchiha manages to use his Sharingan to send Sasuke's sword flying....TOWARDS NARUTO
  • The sword manages to stab through Naruto's stomach! Naruto reassures the worried Sarada that he's fine, and Sasuke realizes that the Father-Shin-Uchiha must've marked his katana (from when he grabbed the sword earlier) to control it freely and aim it towards Naruto!
  • Papa-Shin-Uchiha uses this time to set a ring of fire around Naruto, Sasuke, and Sarada, and multiple shuriken projectiles aimed towards Sarada!
  • Sasuke sees this and quickly jumps in front of Sarada and takes the hit for her! However, because Sasuke got hit, the shuriken halt him from moving! All seems lost to Sarada as Father-Shin-Uchiha makes his last move when all of a sudden...
  • CHAAAA! Enter: Sakura Haruno! Sakura, using her massive strength, lands a super big punch in order to protect Sasuke and Sarada! What perfect timing! (Although, she calls them her husband and child....does this mean Sakura is Sarada's mom after all? :( )
  • Sasuke asks what Sakura is doing here (much to Naruto's third-wheel comment) and Sakura asks if Naruto is ok!
  • Kurama tells Naruto that his battle skills have grown rusty (WAT), and Sakura apologizes to Sarada for not telling her earlier (about what....her real parents?)
  • Sasuke tells Sarada and Sakura that it's rather his fault...but at this time, a tiny Sharingan-creature decides to appear, and use a space-time ninjutsu to create even more Onion-chan clones in front of Sakura!!
  • However, before one of the clones can attack Sakura, Sasuke manages to throw a shuriken and defeat the clone!
  • With the defeated Onion-chan, Naruto comments on how pathetically fooled they all were, and head back to take a closer look at the Father-Shin-Uchiha and Onion-chan
  • At the medical center, Father-Shin-Uchiha asks Sakura to transplant Onion-chan's organs into his. Sakura shocked, tells him that doing that will cause Onion-chan to die!
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha claims that the whole situation was Sakura's fault, and Sakura says she only did it out of self-defense for her family and friend
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha then asks Sakura why she cares about what happens to Onion-chan in the first place, and Sakura, shocked and confused, asks him if that question was a serious one


Although this chapter was mainly a fighting one, we got to see Sakura fight for the first time in what seems like AGES! And so now, the whole Sarada's-Identity crisis seems to have cleared up....but to be honest I was real disappointed in that..why did we have to go through the whole identity crisis thing when Sakura tells Sarada the 'truth' like it's no big deal? I mean I'm not surprised to hear Sakura's the mother, but I honestly thought Sarada's mother could also be someone else, even if it isn't necessarily Karin. Because of this, I feel as if the whole first chapters about Sarada finding her 'real mom' were almost meaningless, especially when the truth was so obvious.

But I did love the fight scene, and it's sad to see how Naruto's fighting skills have worsen over time...but Sasuke still seems up to his game, and I can't wait to see what will happen with Sakura, Onion-chan, and the Father Shin Uchiha....just what secrets do they hold? What did you guys think of the chapter? We're you satisfied, disappointed? Say your thoughts in the comments!!

And again, don't forget to also see our Naruto Shippuden anime reviews, will will be posted on the day the new episodes come out!! See y'all next week! :'D

Chapter 707



AGGHHHH. Just...this chapter... AGHHHHH! And for new readers, when I say 'Father-Shin-Uchiha, I'm referring to the multiple Sharingan-covered man who was recently revealed as the 'father' of the 'original' onion-haired Shin Uchiha. But WOW GUYS, SIT BACK, 'CAUSE LOADS OF DRAMA IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD! JUST....OMG...

  • Sakura has been kidnapped by the Father-Shin-Uchiha and Onion-chan in order for them to have her do a special transplant of organs, since Onion-chan is a definite clone of Father-Shin-Uchiha
  • Sakura, horrified, asks Father-Shin-Uchiha how he could treat the various clones (Onion-chans) like that, and that he isn't even Orochimaru! (GEE, GUY, ONLY OROCHIMARU CAN DO CREEPY EXPERIMENTS)
  • Father-Shin Uchiha explains how Orochimaru was his teacher and how he was Orochimaru's experiment as well, for a cloning technique!
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha then tells Sakura how his purpose was merely flesh supply, and how that was practically all his job was
  • Meanwhile, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sarada are thinking and looking to where Sakura probably was taken
  • Naruto suspects that the two enemies were most likely related to Orochimaru in some way (duh) and Sasuke agrees!
  • Sasuke also points out that Father-Shin-Uchiha also had many Sharingan on his arm, as well as Danzo had, and only Orochimaru could've implanted them!
  • Naruto decides that in order to find out more info, they would all need to seek out Orochimaru in his hideout, and decide to take Chou-Chou and Sarada with them!
  • The scene then shifts back to Sakura and Father-Shin-Uchiha, where Father-Shin-Uchiha explains to Sakura that living things all eventually die, and genes (or reproductive cells) that are children are just humanity's way of living on and surviving
  • He continues explaining that reproduction is humans' ways of 'cheating death', and Sakura responds that genes themselves don't make up a child, but rather the thoughts and emotions that are made up inside them
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha however responds back saying that the creation of a child is merely two genes from two parents forming a stronger child, and how only more perfect genes are chosen to be passed on
  • He continues telling Sakura that human evolution is like that of reproduction. He makes a comparison to the ninja world, where only the stronger ninja are chosen
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha then says that because of war, humans evolve, and how cloning is like that of reproduction and surviving, and how that's why the Akatsuki was formed
  • Sakura responds by saying that Father-Shin-Uchiha obviously doesn't know what being a parent truly is!
  • Going back to Naruto's side, Captain Yamato himself makes an appearance, looking much older, but still powerful! Naruto decided to make Yamato the leader of their journey to Orochimaru's hideout, even though Yamato believes a Hokage shouldn't nominate him as leader!
  • As Naruto, Sasuke, Sarada, and Chou-Chou see the entrance of Orochimaru's hideout, Yamato tells them he has to stay behind at the entrance in order to trail Orochimaru if anything bad happened!
  • With this, the rest of their team make their way in, and right as they do, they bump into...Jugo and Suigetsu!! Sarada notices immediately that they're the same people as the one in Sasuke's Team Taka picture she found!
  • Sasuke asks them to lead them through the hideout (while Naruto thinks there's no need for that), when all of sudden, Orochimaru himself appears behind Jugo and Suigetsu!
  • Naruto asks how Orochimaru stayed so young throughout the years (which he should know how by now), and Orochimaru asks who the children are (with Chou-Chou wondering if Orochimaru could be her possible father....or....mother?)
  • Sasuke tells Orochimaru how his underlings tried killing Sakura and Sarada, and asks Orochimaru who Onion-chan and Father-Shin-Uchiha exactly are
  • Orochimaru doesn't really respond, but instead leads them to one of his experimentation rooms
  • In the room, Orochimaru explains to them that Father-Shin-Uchiha was always fascinated by Itachi, even though he himself was not a member of the Uchiha clan
  • Orochimaru, referring to one of the human experiments in his room (having one arm covering of Sharingan, and a missing right arm) says that the experiment child in the room's right arm was used for Danzo's. The other arm was wanted by Father-Shin-Uchiha, who then cloned more of the child to obtain more Sharingan
  • Naruto, confused at the use of the word 'clone',  has Orochimaru explain to him that the clones of Onion-chan are unique individuals, or shadow clones that never disappear!
  • Orochimaru also explains that unlike shadow clones, the only way to make them disappear is to kill them completely, and like twins, the clones have their own thoughts and personalities...and Naruto says that it's not that emotionally easy to kill off humans like that, of course!
  • Orochimaru then continues on saying that humans are actually quite simple, and how humans are basically slaves to their own genes, and how connections can be proven!
  • Sarada then asks about non-clones, or regular parents and child. Orochimaru then asks Sarada if she would like to judge for herself, and Chou-Chou warns Sarada that Orochimaru looks very scary and suspicious!
  • Sasuke says however that there's no time to fool around, and demands Orochimaru to tell him more information about the Shin Uchihas! Orochimaru agrees, seeing as this would also help him, and takes them to the monitoring room!
  • Along the way there, Sarada tugs on Suigetsu's sleeve and asks what room Karin would be (OH BOY HERE WE GO), and Suigetsu says that Karin is in a different hideout (OH NO)!
  • However, Sarada isn't done, and asks Suigetsu to do another favor, and the two of them sneak off from the group, to a room where Suigetsu can run some DNA tests
  • Suigetsu is shocked to hear that Sasuke might've actually had Sarada with Karin, and searches inside Karin's special drawer which she always told Suigetsu not to look into (UH SUIGETSU STAHP)
  • Suigetsu finds an extraction of Karin and uses that and Sarada's DNA TO RUN THE DNA TEST....DUN DUN DUNNNN
  • Sarada, nervous, waits to see the result.....and the DNA.....MATCHES! WHAAATTT?! Suigetsu then confirms, much to Sarada's shock, that Karin is indeed Sarada's mother
  • Sarada, now knowing this shocking info, cries, and Suigetsu awkwardly leaves because he knows he DUN GOOFED
  • Naruto has apparently listened in on what happened, and as Suigetsu walks out, he tells Naruto how he DUN GOOFED, and asks Naruto if he knew about Sarada's true mom...Naruto responds that he honestly didn't!
  • Probably doing a mental face palm, Naruto walks in to get Sarada, and tells Suigetsu to wait up! As he goes in to see Sarada, Sarada cries and yells out how the Seventh Hokage is a liar!!
  • The chapter then ends with Sarada yelling about how she doesn't care to save someone who isn't her mother...and as she says that....she unlocks....HER SHARINGAN!


ALRIGHT, HOLD....THE.....PHONE....

YAHOO! So much drama in ONE chapter! I can't believe it! Although I still believe there's a story behind all of this....I feel so bad for Sarada, but I really don't think she should let genes alone determine who she is....after all, she's Sarada, and that's what matters! But HOLLLLLYYYYYYY COOOWWWW. I can't believe Suigetsu actually agreed to run the test, and it matched! Wanting a mix of Uchiha and Uzumaki is probably what Orochimaru would've wanted.....hmmm...

DANG. JUST DANG.....THE NEXT CHAPTER BETTER COME OUT QUICK. Recently, it was revealed that Naruto Gaiden would only have 15 chapters! I dunno how we could ever wrap this story up in a few chapters, but we'll see! So what do you guys think?

Do you still believe in Sakura being Sarada's mother, or Karin? Why didn't Naruto know about Sarada's real mom? How will gaining Sharingan eyes of her own change Sarada's personality, or her fighting? Do you think this shocking reveal will make Sarada become emo like her father did? LETS FIND OUR NEXT WEEK!




Chapter 708



OHHHH SNAP! Drama has unfolded in Naruto Gaiden! It's Naruto's job now to help out Sarada before she loses faith in her own family, regardless if they're related to her by blood or not!

And again, for new readers, when I say 'Father-Shin-Uchiha', I'm referring to the Mysterious Akatsuki figure revealed earlier on in the series (with the numerous Sharingan around his body like Danzo's), who recently revealed his name to be Shin Uchiha as well!

  • The chapter starts off with Sarada, no with her new Sasuke-like Sharingan (HOPEFULLY BEING EMO DOESN'T COME WITH IT
  • Naruto notices Sarada's Sharingan and recalls how much Sarada looks like Sasuke with those eyes..Sarada however really doesn't want any resemblance to her father at this point!
  • Naruto, being saddened, wants to help, but Sarada says it's none of his business. Naruto, of course, doesn't let it end like that!! He grabs Sarada's arm and tells her how it IS his business, seeing as to the Hokage, the whole village is his family (WHOOP WHOOP, THAT'S THE NARUTO WE KNOW)!
  • Sarada however is still sad at the fact that she isn't blood-related to her family, and that Sakura had lied to her. She still insists that Naruto isn't her family and that he doesn't understand her!
  • Naruto remembers how Iruka-Sensei was always there for him, and how Naruto as well thought that Iruka couldn't understand him, but was proven wrong!
  • Sarada then angrily asks Naruto what he has to say to her, and Naruto says that thoughts and feelings are all that Sarada needs...and asks Sarada to really think about what he said
  • Sarada then remembers how loving of a mother Sakura was (aww!), and how Sasuke left the village because he loved Sarada.
  • Naruto then tells Sarada that what matters is Sarada's real love she's had for Sakura this whole time, and how her true feelings of wanting to save Sakura is the real deal, and that's all that matters (HECK YEAHHHH!)
  • With that, the two of them then make their way towards Sasuke and the rest of the ninja gang! Naruto then tells Sasuke he'll have a lonnnggg talk with him after the whole ordeal is done
  • Orochimaru tells the group that Sakura might've already been killed, but Sasuke assures that Sakura will not go down too easy!!
  • As he says that, Sasuke awakens his SUPER OP EYES! The Uchiha has finally reawakened his Sharingan!!
  • Sasuke then tells Naruto that he searched for the location of Sakura in Kaguya's dimension, which ate up a lot of his chakra!
  • Sasuke then asks Naruto what the fight was about earlier between him and Sarada, and tells Naruto not to upset the children (REALLY, SAUCEKEH?!)
  • Naruto of course gets angered, and tells Sasuke he totally didn't upset the kids, and doesn't want to hear that, especially from Sasuke (Haha, just like old times, eh?)
  • Meanwhile, Sakura is still with Father-Shin-Uchiha, and Father-Shin-Uchiha explains to Sakura that his goal is to eliminate the genes of peace-lovers, such as Sakura!
  • These words of course don't affect Sakura at all and Sakura prepares to fight him....don't EVER mess with Sakura, CHAAAA!!


So this chapter sadly was mainly flashbacks. Sarada's was more interesting to see, but for some reason we get pages of Naruto's, which we've already seen! But nonetheless, the chapter contained juicy stuff about Sarada's past with Sakura, and how she was raised without Sasuke being there for her! Naruto Gaiden is slowly building up, as well as coming closer to its end!

So what are your theories on how Sarada was created? Have they changed since the first chapter was released? Will Sarada's true birth be revealed soon? STAY TUNED NEXT WEEK FOR THE NEXT REVIEW!!

Chapter 709



WOW! It's finally here, this week's Naruto Gaiden Chapter! Everyone at this point is in a tight pinch, but let's see what they can do!!

Also, for new readers, when I say'Father-Shin-Uchiha, I'm referring to the man covered in Sharingan (much like Danzo's) that claims he's the 'father' of the original Shin Uchiha (onion-haired dude)! They both bare the same name!

  • The chapter starts off with Sakura about to fight Father-Shin-Uchiha! Father-Shin-Uchiha makes his first move by turning his entire arm into multiple blades!!
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha also manages to have multiple other Shin Uchiha clones appear behind Sakura to attack her all at once!
  • Before the fight can actually begin, the scene changes to Sarada, Sasuke, Chou-Chou, and Naruto! Sasuke has sent out his Susano to find Sakura!
  • Sarada for a second remembers how Karin's DNA matched with hers, but Naruto pats her shoulder, and Sarada focuses on saving Sakura before wondering about the other details!
  • Sasuke has Naruto be in charge of sensing Sakura's location, and the scene shifts back to Sakura and Father-Shin-Uchiha
  • Sakura is fighting strong, and Father-Shin-Uchiha creates a huge Shuriken out of multiple blades and aims it towards Sakura! (FIGHT STRONG, SAKURA-CHAN)
  • Before the Shuriken can hit Sakura, Sasuke's Susano manages to destroy it, and the hand of the Susano captures Father-Shin-Uchiha (Sasuke always has insane timing with these!)
  • Sarada and the others also come in, and Sarada is surprised to see Sakura! With Father-Shin-Uchiha restrained in the Susano's hand, Sasuke makes his way towards Sakura, and removes the blades from Sakura's arm! (Isnt Sakura the healer here? Lel)
  • Sakura thanks Sasuke, and heals her arm by herself...Sarada comes in on them with Chou-Chou and Naruto, and is relieved to see them!
  • However, Sarada still wonders about Sasuke and Sakura's relationship, once again reverting back to NINJA SOAP OPERA FORM
  • Afterwards, the group makes their way to Sasuke's Susano, and release Father-Shin-Uchiha from the Susano's grasp to interrogate him at Konoha!
  • However, Father-Shin-Uchiha has clones of Onion-chan other Shin Uchiha, in which he plans to sacrifice them as decoys to escape!
  • Father-Shin-Uchiha summons the Shin Uchiha to attack, but they all instead attack Father-Shin-Uchiha in unison, much to the group and Father-Shin-Uchiha's surprise
  • One of the Shin Uchiha clones explains how him and the other clones don't need Father-Shin-Uchiha ordering them around anymore, and that they are superior
  • The Shin Uchiha army was made by the original few Shin Uchiha clones, and they explain to Father-Shin-Uchiha that they will be the ones to evolve and progress (LEL awkward family moments)
  • The Shin Uchiha army prepares to attack Naruto and the gang, and Chou-Chou notices that some of the clones are chubby and weirdly proportioned
  • Sakura comments how it's probably because some of the clones didn't do well in the cloning process (duh), and Naruto starts using his good ole' shadow clone jutsu to stop the army!!
  • As Naruto does this, while blocking the punch of a Shin Uchiha clone, a bigger, chubbier, Shin Uchiha clone prepares to attack the Naruto clones!
  • However, Señor Sasuke saves the day by quickly using his Susano to land a huge blow  onto the huge Shin Uchiha clone!
  • The fight is to Naruto and the gang's advantage, until Father-Shin-Uchiha uses an opening through a local Sharingan-creature to summon himself replacement organs!
  • While using the space-time jutsu, Father-Shin-Uchiha decides to take Chou-Chou, Sarada, and Sakura, but Sasuke calls out Sarada's name and notions for her to do something!
  • Sarada understands Sasuke's command, and lands a fatal blow to the Sharingan-creature, destroying it and Father-Shin-Uchiha's opening!!
  • With Father-Shin-Uchiha's way of escape closed, Sakura tells Sarada to step back so she can attack, but Sarada jumps in anyway and lands a very Sakura-like punch towards the ground, sending numerous Shin Uchiha clones flying..SHE HAS UNLOCKED HER FINAL FORM!


WOW! As we near Gaiden's end, the chapters get more and more intense!! We get to see Sarada preform some very stunning stuff, as well as Sasuke and Naruto get into some fighting action, like old times!!

However, actual information on Sarada's birth is unknown, so hopefully we see more of that in upcoming chapters! This is wrapping up pretty greatly, and I hope Sarafa and Chou-Chou can show some more of their fighting moves!! SEE YA NEXT WEEK AND WE'LL SEE
!

Chapter 710



LAST CHAPTER ALREADY?! MAN, I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE 15 CHAPTERS! But it's kinda a relief, as now cases can be rested, and we have the new Boruto movie to look forward to! After all, Kishimoto had stated that the Boruto movie is the last Naruto-related piece he will ever draw/write ;-;. I'm honestly gonna miss the Naruto series so much, but I'm glad for the memories and friends it brought me...thank you, Kishimoto.....you did good, man! Real good :')

  • SARADA HAS REACHED HER FINAL FORM! With a super Sakura-like punch to the ground, Sarada manages to send many of the Shin Uchiha clones flying, much to Sakura's surprise!
  • Naruto also gets in on the action, and finally uses the power of Kurama again to frighten one of the Shin Uchiha clones! However, Naruto stops, and tells the clone that he shouldn't be afraid, because he won't hurt them if they don't hurt Naruto and his gang! (Plus, with that Kurama face, I'm already hella scared)
  • Sasuke comes in, and tells Naruto he's too soft (WOW LIKE ANYBODY WOULD LISTEN TO YOU, YOU EMO), and asks how Naruto will support these many kids
  • Naruto says that he'll talk to the leader of the Konoha orphanage, and that the clones will just need some training!
  • Meanwhile, Chou-Chou jumps up to see a very satisfied Sarada, and notices that Sarada has the Sharingan in her eyes, just like Sasuke!
  • Sarada is happy, and Sakura as well arrives at the scene, and says that Sarada is always making her worry...but then hugs Sarada super tight!
  • Naruto and Sasuke are relieved, and Sakura tells Sarada she heard about what happened through Shizune, and that Sarada is no doubt her child!
  • Sarada agrees, and tells about how the thing that matters is the memories and connections shared with her and Sakura!
  • Sarada then calls over her dad, Sasgay Sasuke, and asks if he truly has feelings and connections towards Sakura
  • Sasuke says yes, and Sarada asks why he doesn't say anything more about it. Sasuke replies that it's because they have Sarada as the child!
  • Chou-Chou and Naruto are happy for Sarada, and they all finally head home, where many old friends await them!!
  • Back in Konoha, the Shin Uchiha clones are sent to the Orphange, where the leader (BIG SHOCK, THE LEADER IS KABUTO GUYZ), plans to assign them names, and becomes their new 'father'!
  • As Sarada and the others make their way back, Chou-Chou says she's happy for Sarada, but hopes to find her own dad as well!
  • As she says this, she sees a slender guy talking to Ino, and has a good feeling that the person is her dad! When the man whips around, it's none other than her real biological father, CHOJIII!!!!
  • Ino explains that Choji's thinness is a secret passed down through the Akimichi clan, and that Choji's thin figure would be shocking to people who don't know! Chou-Chou is happy, and asks Choji to train her to be able to have that figure! Sarada laughs with joy, happy Chou-Chou 'found her dad'!
  • Ino sees Sasuke and says hi to him, and Sarada of course steps in, in order to 'prevent' Ino from stealing away her dad! Haha, how sweet! X>
  • Later the next day, Sasuke has to once again leave again for his mission, much to Sarada's disappointment. Sasuke however hugs her, and tells Sarada to not be sad!
  • Sasuke does the famous Uchiha forehead poke, and Sarada is overjoyed, as well as Sakura! Sakura leans into towards Sasuke, probably expecting him to do it to her as well, but of course Sasuke turns around and keeps walking onward, much to Sakura's disappointment!
  • Later, at the ninja academy, Boruto sits nests to Sarada and thanks her for delivering his lunch to his father, Naruto!
  • Sarada smiles and says she should be the one thanking him, for she now realizes her goal....to become HOKAGE! Boruto of course is disgusted by this!
  • Meanwhile, back at the lab, Karin and Suigetsu are talking, and Karin says that she's the one who delivered Sarada, and that once Sakura chased after Sasuke, she joined them on their journey!
  • Suigetsu is surprised, seeing that Karin really loved Sasuke, but Karin says that she wants Sasuke to be happy, and that a man could still be good friends with another woman
  • Karin also says that Suigetsu has to apologize to Sarada about the mishap, and that he owes Sarada a new pair of glasses, since she outgrew her current ones!!
  • The scene shifts back to Sarada, walking into her house, and the Naruto Gaiden manga ends with a full shot of the entire Uchiha family together....thhhheeeeee ennnnndddddd (and they lived happily ever after)



WOW. I can't believe the manga ended so suddenly, especially with the rumor of the chapters being a total of 15.....man, time sure flies! The ending was quite a happy one, and I don't wanna say its bad.

In my opinion, it felt so...PERFECT. But in that case, that's why I kinda wanted something more out of it. What was the point of the whole biological mother thing with Karin, when Sakura ended up being her mother after all? I do admit, I miss the older Naruto series, but I can't say this is a bad ending, I just felt like I wanted more, and that some of the characters acted quite strange!

But other than that, thank you all sooooooo much for keeping up with me as the manga updated, it's honestly been so fun, and I loved reading all of your comments. But I'm not leaving!

You can still see me do reviews of the current Naruto Shippuden anime, so please check out those as well!

What did you guys think of the ending? :)

Thank you so much, Kishimoto....your story will live on in fans forever! I can't wait for the future, and wait legacy Naruto will being to anime fans, and it's history.....DATTEBYO!

This is the last Naruto Gaiden from yours truly,

PikaDash14


Again, thanks :') You guys mean a lot! I enjoyed seeing you all, and PLEASE check out the anime reviews, and other blogs on our group! Again thanks, you all mean so much to me!

I just skimmed through your Gaiden reviews, and they are blantantly baised, so much so that it's clear your reading comprension is lacking.

On top of name calling Sasuke, calling him "emo", you falsely described several things.

-Chapter 5, You said Sarada dodged Sasuke's Sword.

Sasuke purposefully didn't hit her. Seeing as he knew he was being followed/watched, and was recently randomly attacked by an enemy who had the Sharingan, he thought Sarada was another enemy who managed to once again figure out where he was despite only telling Naruto about the secret meeting place.

He pulled the sword out in order to keep her at bay. All Sarada did was step back, which caused her to hit the pillar.

-Chapter 6 you said Sasuke threw the Shurikens at Shin.

Shin is the one who threw knives at Sasuke, and Sasuke countered with his Sword.

www.mangastream.to/naruto-chap…

This is clearly shown, and easy to understand. Considering you weren't able to grasp something shown on a single page, it's not a surprise you misundertand and are butthurt about Sasuke, the best character in the story.

After all, you have referred to him as emo (negative way to see him), whereas realize he's cool, serious, and badass.

"Sasuke comes in, and tells Naruto he's too soft (WOW LIKE ANYBODY WOULD LISTEN TO YOU, YOU EMO), "

Yeah, Naruto has always respected Sasuke, and just in Gaiden we see that full and well, Naruto was praising him nearly every chapter, he also listened to Sasuke when Sasuke told him to stay in Konoha as Hokage.

Your reviews would have been better if they weren't so fallacious.
