So uh, I wasn't going to post here, and then I went and read the chapter, and MY GOD. I just laughed and laughed at that ending from sheer surprise. So, it seems that Shikamaru is an ass as a grown up, or at least doesn't see Bolt as his own person. I parsed that out that way anyway. I grant that Bolt is a little brat, but Shikamaru literally just going, nope grow up kid, on him is kinda gnarly. The fact that he doesn't realize "Naruto acted out because he wanted acknowledgement, Bolt is acting out in the same way, maybe there's a connection" and then address that is... odd for a so-called genius.
I really wish I could say I was surprised about the whole mess with Sakura/Sasuke/Sarada, but upon reflection not so much. Sasuke basically fucking off for hte entirety of his daughters life is so in character it hurts, as is Sakura defending the schlub after everything. I really REALLY wish it weren't but Mister Kishimoto made his whole screwed up mental process on it clear in interviews so w/e.
I have this horrible presentiment though, about Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto values Sasuke pretty damn highly, the fact that he allowed him to fuck off and functionally abandon Sakura and his own child seems odd to me. I have to wonder at how the Sauce's actions here have impacted Naruto's own choices and actions as a parent. I may be reading too much into things here though I admit.
