Chapter #4 absolutely made up for chapter #3. The previous chapter was kind of disappointing. We didn't get any real plot developing. We were introduced to these villains in chapter #2 and nothing in this chapter helped clarify nor go deeper into them. I mean, from it's very first appearance I believed the Akatsuki guy was Shisui and I still have no clue who this Shin guy might be (as if knowing his name would help). But it didn't developed Sarada's plot. It didn't develop Sasuke's plot. It didn't bring up anything about Orochimaru or Karin. It dedicated the impressive amount of FOUR PANELS to develop Naruto's/Boruto's family plot (which is understandable since Sarada is Naruto Gaidens MC). Anyway, I believe that if this is going to be a mini-series it isn't wise to waste panels on Chou-Chou's rambling. I mean, I'd love her if I didn't feel like there are panels been wasted. Her humor should fit more with the storyline. Chapter #3 felt like the 18 (most awaited) non profitable pages. I learned nothing after reading it. However, chapter #4 was completely a different story. We had action. Sarada's and Sasuke's plots were developed (AND DAMN IF THEY WERE). We have more hints of who the villains might be and we have a MAJOR cliffhanger. I mean, after chapter #3 I was beginning to think that maybe Naruto Gaiden wouldn't be so great after all, but I have completely changed my mind. Keep it up Kishi, keep it up. (Suuuuper hyped after I read the last chapter!!!)
