<p>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.
</p><p>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.
</p><p>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.

This chapter added some extra dialogue to the characters, which I don't mind, as well added a few extra scenes. I noticed that at the building where the kages were, it didn't completely get destroyed by Momoshiki's attack shockwave, forcing them out the building ad quickly as possible like the movie did. The art is coming along. I still find it funny how Naruto tries to mock Kinshiki for "doping" himself up with power, but he's been doped up with power since birth. I wonder if in the next chapter they are going to have Hinata do something because we didn't even see why Hinata ended up in the hospital. Nothing else to say about it. Most of it was a rehash and I enjoyed it moderately.

<p>Not even remotely the same thing. Naruto had a sentient being sealed inside of him which he had to train and befriend to master, Kinshiki steals powers and eats it without training to master. </p>

</p><p>Naruto didn't start training to master the power of the Nine-Tails until late in Naruto Shippuden. Throughout the series he's almost always used a power he didn't train for so don't give me that. Of course it's not his fault he had been doped up with that kind of power, the idea is still the same. They both got doped up with power.

<p>Whenever Naruto did use his own power though, he only was able to use a fraction of it because a portion of his chakra was used to suppress Kurama

<p>What exactly do you mean by fraction? Cuz if you are telling me that Naruto would have been so much stronger had he not had the Nine-Tails sealed inside, that is absurd. </p>

<p>why is that absurd?
Also(besides)naruto was training to control nine tails chakra from part-1itself....so it was no kind of dope and definitely not similar to momoshiki. </p>

<p>To actually think that Naruto was super weak due to Nine-Tails seal is absurb. It was never even mentioned that the seal had that much of an impact on Naruto's own chakra. And yes Naruto was training in Part I? but it didn't change the fact that he was doped with power and he was very far from mastering it. Anytime he got mad, which was always, he'd use the Nine-Tails. He woukd have never been able to face off against most of his enemies if it weren't for the Nine-Tails. Take how you want. They both were doped with power. The only difference is how they recieved it. </p>

<p>My explanation is that he only had Snape hair at the beginning because it was greasy due to the lack of washing it on his voyages and after returning home finally got to wash it back to Uchiha standards. XD </p>

<p>I liked this chapter. Momoshiki and Kinshiki look awesome. Sasuke's hair is much better now. But Hinata and Kurotsuchi, they still look very strange to me.
