Still don't understand why they didn't just go ahead and make the Ootsutsuki the main, recurring villains in the story. They had already foreshadowed them plenty of times, it would only make sense to add them in. Plus, that way, the inevitable power creep (which I'm not a fan of, but whatever I don't even give a shit at this point) would make a tad more sense if it's coming from a primordial alien clan rather than a group of cyborgs.

Then again, we don't really know much about Kara. Maybe their backstory justifies how they're able to have such strong ninja in their ranks. I highly doubt it, but maybe.

As for the chapter, I'm less critical than some of you here - I thought it was pretty good. We got to see how Naruto has matured as a fighter. It's nice to see that he's not as sanguine as he was back in his youth. Pretty sure he even threatened to kill Delta at one point. Of course, my issue is with the manga in general and it's an issue I've reiterated several times - it just doesn't feel like Ikemoto and Kodachi know where they're going with it. So whenever a decent chapter appears, I'm simply reminded of how shit the previous chapters were (especially the Shojoji arc).
