Creating an artificial hero, destined to become a real one, if not to atone for his past sins, then to create a brighter future for everyone... Astonishing stuff, I knew he is a Hero of Justice since the get go. The ending though was quite... ominous. As the future of this one hero is not so bright... yet.
Since we finally have a full fledged Mistuki episode, please finally tell me JUST WHAT IS HE READING IN THE OPENING SEQUENCE? What do the characters on the book stand for?

Fantastic adaptation of the Mitsuki backstory one shot! I'm so glad I can finally talk about Mitsuki having Sage Mode (a badass looking one) without it being considered a spoiler. He's literally the most powerful of all the kids his age currently (Literally this version of Team 7 is made up of monsters). Orochimaru continues being one of the most fascinating characters in the series with how much he's changed while still giving off that unsettling air.

Team 7 was Rin/Obito/Kakashi then Sakura/Sasuke/Naruto, now it is Mistuki/Sarada/Boruto? It seems they wanted to keep the extraodinary meaning of Team 7. One has a sharingan, the other some kinda Alien All-Seeing eye, and then there is a Sage mode at command of the third one...I can only wonder if it is possible to animate the whole epicness behind them in 24 minutes when the time comes.

How can other teams possibly compete with this?

Sage Mode, Some weird eye that's going to be OP, and the sharingan.

LOL.

This team is like 1000x stronger than any other team this should has heard of.

I already knew what was going to happen since I read the one-shot but it was great to finally see this animated, especially Mitsuki's awesome Sage Mode. This was definitely the best episode of the series so far, and I wouldn't be surprised if it stays like that for a while. Looking forward to seeing Team 7 go on their first mission next episode.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Mhmm very good episode, and there's his backstory finally, and how he was created.

And glad Sage Mode finally got revealed for Mitsuki, he was already the strongest of the kids even without it, but now with it he's literally "you're 10 years too young to challenge me" tier.

@TheRealMC Been a while since I read this one shot that got adapted into this episode, but I believe the ending is left open for Log, he might still be with Orochimaru and Suigetsu. Maybe he'll get a more important role later on in the story.

I am sure Log will be a "major save" character in the story. It is strongly implied they are working real hard to be shadow heroes.

Really nice episode, also really liked the fight bretween the two as well. Not often you get swordplay of that quality in a TV series. Mitsuki's sage mode was pretty awesome, not a fan of the horn though.

Such an enjoyable episode this week, great way to finish the year of 2017. The fighting scene between Orochimaru and Log was splendid, and Mitsuki using sage mode for the first time was freaking awesome! He looked Godly!

Great episode, nice to know more about Mitsuki's back-story. 5/5

WTF... Orochimaru's a good parent he let his 'child' follow his own path, i thought he'd be more like:

"VAAGA MUSKO-YO" with the that brooding voice (like emperor charles brittannia to lelouch)

the fight, overall, wasn't very 'orochimaru' -if you know what i mean- but it was actually quite cool and fast paced

One hell of a test to determine whether Mitsuki still had his skills though. Still this memory thief was interesting and more so because not everything is what it seems. To think that the thief was actually the previous clone though. Its unfortunate but given Orochimaru's personality he will keep making clones until he gets the correct one. Quite the difficult choice that Mitsuki had there though. But Mitsuki's sage like power was interesting though. Its nice seeing that Orochimaru has changed somewhat though in this new age. A nice little memory this episode proved to be and a interesting one as well.

Jinzo-ningen (人造人間) doesn't translate to "Android", Mitsuki is not a robot. Artificial Human is how it sounds like; a man-made/synthetic human being made artificially instead of natural ways.

Really good episode.

This is one of the best episodes so far and I can't wait to see how Mitsuki enhances his power in this day in age being everything is more modern and done with a lot of science.

S-S-So since Suigetsu helped a lot with making Mitsuki, would that make him his h-his h-h-his parent also? o////o I-I asked it! I-I asked the question! salkjfsdlkjs!!

Okay but seriously, what can we call 'em? "Good ol' uncle Suigetsu"?" Second parent but not biologically... maybe, Suigetsu"?
Actually Mitsuki's hair...
I dunno, I wouldn't doubt if Suigetsu donated a little something something.
Uh, though he has part of Juugo's abilities too... so I guess maybe everyone at Orochimaru's place is his parent in a way, but not in the sense of rearing. That would go to Orochimaru.
I just kinda want to say "Uncle Suigetsu" though. That's cute.

Mitsuki's character development in the 39th episode was amazing. That episode
is actually my favorite so far. I'm giving the show over all the side eye, because it
is taking to long to show the fighting techniques and styles.

I understand that this generation is supposed to be weaker because they
are at peace now, but damn! lol The reason why we loved naruto so much
was for the battles. It's 39 episodes in and there's only two notable fights so far.

Hay maybe I am being a negative Nancy........

I thought that was obvious. He kept on say my parent. Meaning a
(singular) parent. Speaking of his loyalty to said parent. Also, lacking
the ability to interact with other people around with out looking disconnected other than baruto.

You can mostly tell who each child belongs to just by
looking at their appearance. Since he used snakes for most of his justsu's I new orochimaru had something to do with him.

Orochimaru fighting with a sword looked like straight up Sasuke. But then again, I guess he's the one Sasuke learned from. Although we didn't see Sasuke use his sword like a badass until Boruto the Movie.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, right? It's part of his backstory, and I think it's important that the viewers know about it. Whether you wanted it to get animated or not is out of your hands.

And if I say so myself, I think that's a pretty silly reason to hate on the series. This is far from the worst thing we've seen in the anime so far -- in fact, I'd say it's one of the better stories to come out of the Next Generation.

Who's hating? you don't seem to get where I'm coming from, after that shin story arc I put this show on hold and said I'd only tune back in if they did the Mitsuki one shot, they did it I loved it and now I can move on I'm not dropping the series because I thought this episode was bad, I'm just not interested in seeing where the show goes from here, I'm good....Naruto is over FOR ME.

Aaaah! One of the best episodes so far for sure. So glad we got to see some Orichimaru action, it's been a long time. I had my suspicions that Mitsuki would be really strong.. but man that's so OP lmao I'm loving it.

I had sort of similar thoughts on this as well, ever since Mitsuki asked Orochimaru if he was his mother or father I kept going over some of the things Orochimaru said, especially before the scene of him going Sage Mode and I'm almost convinced that his current body is a she and while he, or rather she, created both Mitsuki's artificially to be how she wanted them I still think she impregnated herself and carried both of them and gave birth to the pair.

Actually, as long as that's possible, that would make sense. It would be an interestingly roundabout way to do it, but effective nonetheless. I wonder if such details would ever be described, but I do feel like you're on to something there and it also provides a bit of food for thought.
