Cover art looks amazing, like straight out of vogue magazine.

Anyway, solid chapter. Looks like there's going to be a big battle coming up. Just hope this is the battle that Sarada reveals her new eye powers.

Reading the other comments elsewhere about this chapter, most of the them seem to focus on the loud "love triangle" in the room. The part where its pointed out that she still calls Sumire "class rep" than her actual name, kinda shows how Sarada has not grown of that phase of her life after-all this time and doesn't have much self-awareness of her current surroundings. Traumatic as it was to unlock her Mangekyō Sharingan, she can't seem to put aside her aside her emotions and look at the bigger picture.

The part about Boruto's training to master his future skills, and the whole shape aspect about his teleportation technique I'm glad they explained. There's also the bit about how Koji lays out the Divergent timeline weakness of his ability and that he basically has to sift through each one in-order to get glimpse of a good future. The more ripples and changes they make, it will eventually be impossible to keep track of all of them all with how many moving parts are in place.

I don't care enough about Boruto to find the main reddit-or-whatever forum to say this, but it's so nice that Kishimoto (whose helming the story direction now, I believe) is reintroducing tools and symbols as important mediums to jutsu/techniques again. Too long has Boruto slipped into the realm of superpowers that leaves all its fights entirely ungrounded from the NINJA ARTS of the setting. That and overly-fashionable female character designs really betray the modernizing-bias the other writer had -- everything leaning towards sci-fi.

Having these little nuances stimulate the intelligence of readers as well as freshen up the rhythm of the story. A healthy step back towards the fantasy feel of Naruto. It gives the writer more options to work with as well. If all you have are superpowered-hammers, everything else is a nail.
