So... this manga sucks.

This is without any real evaluation of the setting. We all have our opinions of the ninja technology and what-not, and it's fine if you think it's asinine and it's fine if you think it's a breath of fresh air or whatever. We all think something about Naruto's kid. That's fine too.

What's not fine is that this manga has been going on for two and a half years, and we still have no idea what the hell is going on. We have all of the same questions that we had in the first chapter... but we do know about ninja trading cards... so that's good.

I really hope that naruto is still playing with delta too... because this craze to make it weak since the beginning of the mangas really becomes enervating, it demystifies the myth of the legendary ninja.

I know that some people say that boruto would be boring if naruto easily beat EVERY opponents, but until now we have not seen it yet destroy ONE person easily alone !

At one point, the author will really have to assume the role of half-god that had acquired naruto and sasuke over the course of history, they are supposed to be at rikudo madara level, but i'm wondering, would delta have had the opportunity to do even a single exchange of blows with that Madara even if he was nerfed ? Another thing, Naruto got to hold 1/4 of the fight against Sasuke in his basic form after facing Kaguya and Madara, but he needs to turn into a SPSM form to fight Delta while he is in full possession of all his strengths ?

it's OK that once he's weakened, it's ok that another time he can not use his powers because too many people around, but leave the character at least once without restrictions that we see what he's capable of after so many years !

Again, Naruto is obviously restraining himself. Firstly, as he already mentioned, he intended to bring out more info from Delta by pretending to be weaker, and he still isn't going out with killing intent because of the same reason. Secondly, it's a basic tactics for any decent shinobi to keep safe and observe opponent's abilities in order to analyse how the opponent should be dealt with. And finally Naruto still won't be letting out all his devastating strenghth, since he's in a center of Konoha, as well as too close to his children.

Though why isn't Naruto using his shadow clones, I mean after he is exposed? And why does he really want to pretend and risk matters like this when he can just capture her right there? Interrogation with all the skilled ninjas and genjutsu would make the work easy, plus if none of that works. The Sharingan could be used. And since he knows she's an important, they can keep her as bait, just to make sure Kara doesn't do anything or let them into a trap. Sigh, I wonder what would have happened if she thought the same way as Haku and tried to attack Boruto and the others to get Naruto shield them risking his own stamina/state.

And, did the Kara members live under a rock? Naruto literally is the strongest ninja in the world, with an army of Shadow clones, a titanic fox made of chakra, and regeneration, stamina and durability that go so far, plus with all the legends, they still have no idea how powerful he is, let alone try to fight him?

Wouldn't shadow clones just get absorbed? I mean they are ninjutsu. It's the Momoshiki dilemma all over again, where Delta can absorb ninjutsu and use it against Naruto himself. But even with just taijutsu, Naruto should realistically have no problem against her, even if she is very strong on her own. I mean Naruto was creating craters and destroying mountains with just shockwaves from his punches. Also speed-wise, he speed blitzed Kaguya, i mean c'mon. In the anime he went past Boruto at such speed without him even realizing what happened, yet here even Himawari has no problem tracking and seeing his movements. As I said, I hope Naruto is still playing dumb vs Delta, otherwise he is getting nerfed. And if they do capture her, Sasuke would have no problem extracting intel from her.

Oh, yeah forget about that thing. Man... Does every villain now have absorption? It was only fun when Pain used it. When the others do it, it just becomes op or unnecessary. And then we have a guy, who has absorption abilities, yet barely uses them.

Now that I think of it, I wonder if genjutsu would work? I mean her eyes aren't normal right? Maybe they're genjutsu proof or something. If they're smart enough, they could disguise as the leader with the transformation jutsu coming from what Kawaki details about him. And trick her into revealing everything in an impression that he came to save her or something like that.

At the end of the chapter, Naruto is in SPSM and yet Delta's kick still managed to break through his guard.....

Calling it now, this chapter is the beginning of the end for Naruto's generation.

Yep, Naruto in SPSM literally destroyed Momoshiki in CQC in the manga and matched Momoshiki hit for hit in the anime...

She nearly overwhelmed his defense while in SPSM...

Wow.

I don't know what it is with some people in this thread. Naruto made it plain and clear that he was downplaying his power to gather information. If you all can't comprehend that, then there is no helping you all.

He also made it clear he was going serious at the end, and Delta got a kick in and pushed him back lol
