Decent chapter...

almost annoyed with almost half of it being flashbacks, but saved by the final form of Momo.

Pros:

1 - Momo final form. they followed the manga there. YESYESYESYES. that looks badass.

2 - Kinshiki isnt really a pushover. he was more or less fighting Sasuke and actually pressured him. the mizu and Tsuchi kage did surprise attacks to get him, but it was Sasuke's chidori that more or less did in him.

3 - what happened to the chakra of Gyuki/B.... wonder is he still alive now. it made clear that Momo isnt taking the chakra for himself, but using it to create a new SHinju

Cons:

1 - flashback... 2 weeks in a row. damn

2 - too much imphasis on Boruto... i get it that this is series is about Boruto, but really.

3 - the begining scene was all about Boruto when it should have been a bit about Mitsuki... oh well, it somehow works seeing Mitsuki is obssessed with Boruto

4 - that Shikadai statement... about them protecting the village until Boruto and others come... come on... Boruto isnt protecting the village... Naruto is. shouldnt the statement be like until Nanadaime Hokage and others come back

5 - the Naruto flashbacks about Boruto... at first i thought they were trying to show Boruto going to go the reedemption route, but i hoped to much. the flashback somehow shows that Boruto cheating, using a tool specifically banned for the exams, was all Naruto's fault.

i get it that Naruto was to blame for missing Boruto and Himawari's recent birthdays, but the anime shows that there was much going on. finding hideouts of Kaguya. Zetsu movements. the CHunin Exams. the Guy was literally sleeping in his office doing in his office so i hoped they would cut him some slack.

but they also added flashbacks from much further. the Nue arc. wherein Naruto decides to stop Boruto from interfering. something which is shown to be in negative light. even when Naruto was in the right whole time. i mean, there was a guy being operated to save his life after Nue sucking his chakra. and wasnt the whole point of Hashi and Madara forming hidden villages to save children lives, which became more important after the war. Naruto didnt want children, who were not even ninja, to get into such kind of things. he wanted to save their lives and somehow Naruto thinks that he is wrong there.

the whole flashback about Boruto left a sour taste in my mouth.

It was like painting Boruto to be victim of his circumstances and for his cheating, all because Naruto wasnt able to properly pay him attention. somehow it will takes away from the story of Boruto trying to redeem from his mistake, a storyline which apparently doesnot exist in manga, but seemed like it would in anime.

Boruto cheated on his own terms knowing the scientific ninja tools were banned. let him redeem on his own and dont blame it on Naruto.
