So basically this is just more Naruto! This time the war is over you get some nostalgia with all the new children. 5 chapters in and I am pretty sure I can predict what enjoyment I will get out of it.
Story: 7
I mean when they finished Naruto I thought it was over, but really anything at this point is stretching the drawn out timeline, so it really doesn't deserve more than 7. But who came here for the story? Lets be honest this is the amazing Naruto kickstarted again

so this is my first review , I hope its good enough
story: 10/10 Although the story hasn't gotten that far, the story seems to be going rather well for this short story. It starts with Sarada missing her dad Sasuke Uchiha as she has no recent memory of meeting him as he hasn't visited for over 10 years. Sakura gets ill and Sarada decides to follow Naruto to her father with her best friend Chouchou. Meanwhile some mysterious person is tring to revive the akatsuki and they have sharingans. art:10/10 The art is like how it was before while the old characters have matured and the younger generation ...

I'm disappointed with this whole spin off / sequel ( I don't even think if you can even call this crap a sequel).
I only read this spin off because i did like part 1 and 2 in some parts but this...it throws logic out of the window, already established by kishimoto himself. We got introduced with the new k11, which i was happy to see what's up with them, but no... kishimoto only focuses on chocho, trying to be funny but she isn't, and sarada with uchiha family all over again! I thought we're going to see at least 2 volumes about the new k11 ...

After the dreadful ending of "Naruto", many fans were left wondering if the series could get any worse. With this sequel, Kishimoto has proven that it can, in fact, get worse.
After the ending on "Naruto" left a bad taste in my mouth, I wondered whether I should start reading this or not. As an old fan of the series, as well as since I had nothing better to do, I decided to read it. The story starts off right after chapter 700 of "Naruto" and focuses mostly on Sarada Uchiha, the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. I won't go into much detail, but Sarada, after ...

Naruto Gaiden is a side story definitely not a continuation of the main series.Personally i enjoy reading this every week because it is an extension of the main series however if i really look at it this series is essentially unnecessary.Dont get me wrong i want more naruto content but the plot of this is essentially some baby mama drama.You would think boruto the son of the previous main character would be the main character of this series but he isn't.The main character is sarada and the story follows her on her quest to find out who is her mother.Actually i like that sarada is

Let me get straight to the point...
Only sasuke sakura fanboy/girl would find it worth watching... Reason:It does nothing else but.. Expectation: The Next gen.. Wow what abilities, what personalities? What quirks....? Outcome: Justify Sakura character, Give her a reason To be the MVP.. Give her a happy family with a bit of feelings for her with Sasuke having to leave for a mission... All the villains are just to feed Sasuke , Sakura love story and Sarada feel good.... The antagonists almost defeats the Op Naruto leaving him licking his wounds with everybody lamenting how weak he has become and Then comes the Mvp.... ...

This is my review on this manga. Oh and expect to be spoiled. Okay, so before I get into this, I would like to say one thing. THIS IS MORE OF A INTRODUCTION TO THE LATEST NARUTO MOVIE. If you could not get that hint, then gosh you really have bad analytic skills. I bet I was one of the few that enjoyed that Naruto ending. I did find the manga in general rushed. More could have been done to explain the final villain.
This is more of a sequel. Presenting team 7 and their kids as well. We do get a small appearance from shikamaru's ...

Okay then...
To begin the review I will say that reading this was a complete waste of time now without further ado The art- 5/10 It's the same old art from the later parts of the Naruto original manga, which I find it not very good. If we look at Kishimoto's mid part 2 or even his later part 1 art we will see how much he actually regressed regarding his art style in the series, in the later part 2 the art already wasn't that good and Gaiden follows suit ...

I just read Naruto Gaiden again and I want to say that this 10 Chapter manga is the worst story Kishimoto has put out yet. Yes. Worse than early Part 2 Naruto and Final Arc Naruto. Kishi had all the time in the world to make a great story like with The Last and the Boruto movie but for some reason he decided to take inspiration from Keeping up with the Kardashians for Naruto Gaiden.
Sarada is a Mary Sue. She gets all the power ups in the world without proper training and Chouchou just reminds me of Jar Jar Bings. The "comedy" in this is ...

[note: Only vague spoilers]
Before starting this review of Naruto's side story, I want to point out something. Yes it's a side story, not another arc of Naruto and not a sequel. So it's very baffling how some took this as seriously as the main manga, even though this is just an epilogue, with a self contained villain. From the beginning, this is about the next generation of Ninja, and severing as an epilogue for the upcoming movie. It's not about Naruto and Sasuke, so them not taking the spotlight makes sense, yet, so many people think they are nerfed or something. It's not that Naruto became ...

This was a fun little post-series story that I really enjoyed. It was entertaining and adorable and heartfelt all at the same time, and it sated my desire for seeing more of the next-gen characters. Let's just say... I hope we'll be seeing A LOT more of Cho-Cho in the future. That girl is a riot! And actually, I'm surprised it didn't feature more of Boruto, but I'm sure that will be resolved sooner or later.
Anyway, storywise, it steered a little too close to cheesy on a few occasions, but overall I think it set up what could be a really central theme of a ...

My Review from Japanator:
It’s been a few months since I published my review for Boruto: Naruto The Movie, so make sure to check that out as well. It is important to note that Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring is the prequel to the movie so obviously you don’t need to watch the movie to enjoy it, but you definitely need to be familiar with the main series. Taking place after Chapter 700, this chapter focuses on the new generation, mostly Sasuke and Sakura Uchiha's daughter—Sarada. Although meant as a prologue for the movie, and just a side story, this Gaiden ...

I felt Gaiden is more for the fans who wants a slice of the nostalgia from the naruto universe than an actual story with good development. I read it wanting to see the characters and how they were 12 years after the ending of Naruto and it was a nice trip down memory-lane. Plot-wise, I do think some aspects were drawn out for the sake of a storyline but overall, it's a good read.
Story: 6 The plot was very predictable, nothing was suspenseful. The basic "a new villian appears but somehow the main character, in this case it's Sarada, somehow defeats them with the power ... |
