Naruto Gaiden is a side story definitely not a continuation of the main series.Personally i enjoy reading this every week because it is an extension of the main series however if i really look at it this series is essentially unnecessary.Dont get me wrong i want more naruto content but the plot of this is essentially some baby mama drama.You would think boruto the son of the previous main character would be the main character of this series but he isn't.The main character is sarada and the story follows her on her quest to find out who is her mother.Actually i like that sarada is the mc and not boruto,sarada is actually a good female character unlike kishimoto's other failed attempts to develop females this one actually succeeded.Sarada has gotten a lot of development in the 9 chapters i have read than her mother sakura got in the entire series of naruto.The sad part about this series is that it is only gonna be 1 volume long so about 10 chapters and kishimoto mentions someone "beyond kaguya" which looks like wont be expanded upon till maybe the boruto movie.Which begs the question what was even the point of this sidestory if the villain isn't even shown.This series is just about sarada really i don't hate that i like it because this shouldn't be seen as like a naruto part 3 just a side-story to develop characters.
Story:7 I pretty much already went over this in detail.

Art:7 The art of naruto has always been good.

Character:7 This is obvious sarada's story and i like her though i do dislike the apparent nerfing of naruto in this series.

Enjoyment:7 I enjoy reading this from week to week i find the whole is sakura the mother situation hilarious and amusing.

Overall: 7 I enjoy reading this its good but its not the greatest thing ever nor is it better than the original series however its provides good entertainment.
