One of the few things in the Gaiden that surprised me

Despite having many flaws, and the writing being awful. I can appreciate one important thing in the Gaiden aside from the message (Bonds > DNA).

I think it was really cool for Kishimoto to show that Konohagakure had an orphanage, run by Kabuto, who had enough funding and space to take in about (estimating) 100ish Shin clones. They don't have parents, they don't have friends, and they don't have any form of solidification when it comes to being a regular person.

Remind you of anyone?

One of the greatest things about that significant orphanage, is the message that it shows when you connect it to not only Naruto, but with many characters who have all had tragic pasts. Tsunade, Kakashi, Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, Obito, Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Hinata, Madara, Hashirama, etc.,

It gives them a home, and a family that will look after them, and give these kids a choice to have happiness, and not to be thrown aside to be swallowed by contempt. Naruto didn't see these experiments as things he could kill and be done with, he saw the kids with potential for good, literally as "kids". Getting a chance to be a kid in this series is the biggest gift any character can have whether it be good, evil, or neutral cause. Because it is a rare chance.

I watched this series, for Naruto and as I continued to grow with different characters I expanded on that attachment. I am proud that at least Kishimoto showed us more of what Naruto has accomplished as a Hokage.

Anyway thanks for reading.

Theme of bonds is always present. Wonder if kishi is going to allow the shins to live happily ever after

Sasuke thinks Naruto is too soft. Just shows how dumb and insensitive he still is.

Kind makes me wonder what Kishi's upbringing was like or if someone inspired this. Its a HUGE recurring theme throughout the series.

Snap. Thought so too. This shady fcker can come back to haunt naruto. Kabuto could cultivate those young sharingans into monsters
That would be hilarious.

That Izanami is too strong though XD

I agree, and it is only fitting that Kabuto is the one who manages it (with Naruto's support of course). After all, this is something that both of them can related to. They're a little lost now but with time, the Shin's will hopefully experience love, family and acceptance. I like how Kishimoto included the detail of giving each of them their own names.

It was pretty much a redeeming factor to all this, despite its downs.

I just want to point out I hate itachi fappers and how they say itachi does everything, but I was thinking even this orphanage, Kabuto was fixed by itachi, so itachi has a hand in this, that guy is pretty crazy, top 3 most important character in narutoverse

Agree 100%. This was Gaiden's primary message (Bonds > DNA) along with Sarada's mental development, change in viewpoint and ambitions, and the message being delivered through her since she was basically the MC of this spin off. Gaiden was great in all rights for a single volume manga, just covering some previously missing and unanswered bits of information and explanation and developing SS better (although I'm not a fan of pairings but if that's how Kishi planned it, then so be it), this could be good volume with a satisfactory ending.
