I though it was wiser to make a dedicated thread.

English scans aren't out yet, but Korean scans are.

Tl;dr: first chapter, beyond the first few pages, is a retelling of the BORUTO movie.
Salada is shown with the latest look from the promotional images, though, and not with her movie clothes.
Obviously, as the whole movie couldn't fit in 40-so pages, it stops at (spoilered becaue some might not have seen the movie)
Bolt's request to become Sasuke's pupil

Also worth of note:
Moegi is Ino-Shika-Cho's Jonin Sensei.
The author is probably flooded with death-threats for having turned Hinata into a pettanko.
When Konohamaru seals the Rasengan for the demonstration, a "Wind" kanji appears. I guess that means he was using a Fuuton Rasengan.

We be waiting for

Maybe it was a mastectomy.

The guy's art is bad.

Okay, bad is not the right word, but not good? Yeah, not good.

Naruto is the one who looks okay the most, but there are some really awkward faces and a couple of bodies here.

I think the art will get actually good over time. The guy needs to streamline it.

Also, he needs to give back Hinata's hinatas

Most likely, the next 30-or-so chapters are going to be Bolt's flashback

Next, I think 2 but they might be 3, chapters are going to be the movie.

It's phrased the way it might mean anything, from "left in another dimension" to "death"-

also: I don't remember Inojin and Shikadai getting letters from their moms in the movie?

What if the new mangaka is trolling us and Boruto and Kawaki are just playing some virtual reality game or something?

"The Age of Ninja is Over"

yeah its been over for a couple of decades now after the 4th Ninja War and the Kaguya revival otherwise the villages would be still fighting each other.

aside from the Moon Incident and the recent Otsutsuki Incursion there hasn't been any major shinobi mobilization in the naruto-verse.

You know, for all the problems Kishimoto may have had as an author, creating interesting villains was never one of them. Pretty much all of his villains were  at least good - if not in personality and motivation, then at least they would have a cool visual design. This twerp facing off against Boruto above the destroyed Konoha though? Don't care about him in the slightest. He looks like a generic emo teenager and says generic bad guy lines. Nothing interesting about him whatsoever.

"My tale begins... as I began rebelling against my father for not paying me enough attention." - Everything I don't like Boruto, summed up in one sentence. And what a compelling story hook! I bet everyone reading this is on the edge of their seat wondering what happens next.

Who is this prepubescent girl pretending to be Hinata?

Not sure I care for these wrist mounted jutsu launchers. Can't really argue with them though - sealing jutsu in scrolls for later use has been canon ever since Kakashi used one to summon his dogs in the Wave Mission arc. I suppose it's only natural that they'd eventually miniaturize them and stick them in guns. Don't really understand how it lets you shoot Rasengan like a bullet while Shadow Bind still has to be performed normally though.

Still don't understand why a man who can be in a hundred places at one can't make time for his family (but somehow still can make time to take out trash and carry old ladies around town?). Why can't Naruto ever delegate? Shikamaru offers to finish up his paperwork for him, which he apparently refused. Even if he "wouldn't dare" leave a clone in his place in the Hokage office, why can't he just create a few clones to help him finish up his paperwork in a fraction of the time and then go home early?

Why did Naruto's clone suddenly pop while carrying the birthday cake?

That hairstyle... the lack of a chest... dear god, Hinata looks like a walking penis with arms!

The fuck?!

Also, is it just me, or does the opening part of the chapter look like it takes place years down the line? 'Cause to me, Bolt looks like he's in his late teens at the beginning of the chapter. Though it just might be the character design...

The lady was the same one at the Train inauguration.

Most likely she was late and Naruto sent clones to get her and whatever he took with her(decorations?)

Not really.
Those scroll were PART of the technique, they didn't CONTAIN a technique.

These mini-scrolls are all-purpose, able to stock any technique without the user having to know anything about it.
Sure, they are basically the next step after scrolls containing physical items, but it's still a breakthrough.

He does.
It's the whole point: he has clones running around the village all time.
It's the reason the clone did pop-out, Main Naruto got a faint because over-working and his clones went out.

If anything, he needs to learn to DELEGATE and have OTHER people dealing with a number of things. He probably feels it's HIS responsibility as Hokage to do EVERYTHING he can do by himself... possibly to avoid another Danzou scenario. He's absolutely not going to let Shikamaru getting his own division.

Bolt felt like they are second place compared to the village: Naruto wouldn't dare to use a clone in the Hokage Office but sent one to his daughter's birthday.
That was really stupid by Naruto's part.

Jesus Christ on a cracker that fucking art was horrendous! I mean, Kishi's art had some problems but, God!

Also that opening was basically Pein 2: stupid goth kid edition. And it looks like the sequel's gonna suck like it's trying to win a prize.

None of the girls have boobs. While all we saw were 12 yr olds, what little we saw of Sakura, Temari and Hinata shows No boobs anywhere. Flat-Brigade!

Himawari no longer has her Byakugan. Though that could be normal as its off.

Art could improve. Kishimoto wasn't that good at his start either, even though this author likely should have had enough practice by now, but everyone falls into their own style. He'll improve.

Which is an useful mutation because the foe only knows she has the byakugan when she is using it. And she is a less evident target for those wanting an eye implant.

Hiashi thought the KEIKAKU was a failure, but then the KEIKAKU was even better then expected!


>Bolt is born
>No Byakugan
*Disappointed Hiashi*
>Hinata is pregnant a second time
*hopeful Hiashi*
>Himawari is born
>No Byakugan
>Hiashi: GOD FUCKING DAMMIT*
T/N: GOD FUCKING DAMMIT means Keikaku failed


And then, Himawari awakes her Stealth Byakugan and one-shots Ninja Jesus.
And Bolt is a super-duper prodigy, too.
THE KEIKAKU CAN'T BE STOPPED!
