Haha enough with all the sarcasm, this is actually a very nice chapter, props to Kishi

LOL. I have similar thought when talk between Naruto and Sarada finished.

I can't believe I saw how Naruto taking the spotlight on the girl's heart in this chapter;
To the point I won't surprised anymore if there'll be more Naruto x Sarada either at fanfic or fanpic.

I was under the impression that he had recently used them to search through Kaguya's dimensions for something.

[Minako3223]

Kishimoto still got it.

The spirit of Jiraiya lives in Naruto

[The Green One]

I know most of you are kidding, but you know you read too much manga when you see romantic undertones in a grown man being an effective paternal substitute to a preteen girl. I mean come on guys.

[Ravagerblade]

^ except they weren't kidding. *Gasp*

lol

I guess it's sorta like how when Goku first displayed his Super Saiyan 3 form, it had (presumably) been a few years since he learned how / did it, so it took a while, but later on when fighting Super Buu and Kid Buu, he'd been using it often enough recently that transforming took a lot, lot less time than when he did it for the first time in months/years. Or... Does anyone else have any fitting 'takes longer to get going the more time has passed since it was last used' analogues?

The translation I read explained it as he's been investigating Kaguya's time-space dimension, and entering that dimension takes a substantial amount of chakra(I guess he did this not too long before the fight), so lucky for shin, he chose to pick a fight at a time when some of Sasuke's abilities were on cool-down.

lol you're right, and hopefully this is the case.

[The Green One]

Even if he did Sasuke still flattened him in about 10 seconds flat. Didn't help much.

[DerGilga]

He also used his rinnegan, meaning that conveniently those abilites were on cd which would have been most usefull. All for the sake of more 'intense'.

[Chosen_Hero]

But Shin is in Kaguyas dimension, so basically Shin can teleport from there and back as many times as he wants with a basic Sharingan (or was it Mangekyou?) And Sasuke needs to use both Rinnegan Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan to do the same except his gets a long ass cooldown?... what?

May be it have something to do with the little creature that is with Shin ?

[Key Board]

Sarada takes more after Naruto than Boruto

But I guess it's intentional. Boruto is supposed to be different IIRC

[Ravagerblade]

I still believe this series is taking after the IT effects. and Shin is Kaguya fucking with them all. lol

Outsiders viewpoint btw.

I think MS is required. Shin and Obito used MS to teleport through dimensions. I don't know what Sasuke needs the Rinne-sharingan for in this case.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

I have a feeling that Shin knows Izanagi.

...But if he doesn't, Sakura's going to turn him into paste. A gooey, bloody paste. Urk, I just grossed myself out, lmao.

And what's with all the discussion of Sarada x Naruto crap? I swear you guys have your minds in the wrong place. If anything, Naruto is a better mentor than most of the Hokages that came before him. He's much more active in his mentoring. My biggest complaint about the previous generations was that they were so hands-off in teaching their students and too busy being embroiled in politics. Naruto gets involved and shows that he truly cares about every single person, THAT'S why he's so popular. The care - indeed love - he shows others is equally reciprocated... in fact, the entire series has been built up surrounding that singular idea.

All that aside, he's a married man now, remember? He would never make Hinata sad. Fanfiction be damned.

you take this manga really seriously don't you
