The fifth chapter is now out, and with it another marked improvement to the art quality, as well as some tweaks to the way he draws certain characters (chiefly Sasuke, whose hair is now slightly shorter and more straight). There are also a handful of short new interactions thrown into the events, such as Sasuke taunting Kinshiki about his severed horn, and Gaara instructing Shinki to focus on saving civilians because their enemies are too strong.

I've always liked Ikemoto's art style, but I feel like he's really coming into his own now. In particular I really like the way he draws Kinshiki and Momoshiki, especially the addition of some red to their costumes. The new design for Naruto's chakra cloak is also a huge improvement, IMO. The added tomoe surrounding the seals on his stomach and back really add to the design overall. I like the more elaborate whisker marks, too.

Apart from the art and new scenes, there's not a whole lot to talk about since we've all seen the movie. The events of the movie should be concluded in Chapter 7, so new material will likely start being introduced at the end of that chapter (November) or in the following one (December). Chapter 7 should also mark the end of the second volume, meaning it'll probably go on sale in early December.

How would you rate chapter 5? 1/5 2/5 3/5 4/5 5/5

As always, no illegal links and/or asking about where to read the chapter!
