Solid chapter for Mitsuki's character, good mama Orochimaru loves his test tube baby, how sweet :'(

Mitsuki makes the independent choice in the elaborate act and goes sage mode.
He's now the moon to Boruto's sun.

Thought Tearing Jutsu was a fake here, but maybe it'll come back for real in the boruto series.

Mitsuki asked the right question: Orochimaru, are you the Father or Mother?

But seriously it was a good chapter to give some background and characterization to Mitsuki. I'm interested to see how he'll develop in the Boruto manga and what impact he'll have on it. So, Orochimaru is in his 60's-70 now right? Just need a reminder when looking at him.

Man did I miss Naruto. This was a solid chapter. Now we have introductions to all three members of the new Team 7. I like how Kishi gave them their respective time to shine in three different ways. Sarada in Gaiden. Boruto in the film and Mitsuki in this one-shot.

kek, Orochimaru looked to be somewhat feminine at times.
New gens are going to be op, learning Sage mode at a very young age.

Overall, its a fine one-shot.

That was very nice and I'm surprised to see this character development in Orochimaru

I was hoping that Mitsuki wasn't a test tube baby but oh well....I wonder who's embryo he came from or was it implied that it was Oro's

Also with this, the OP trio is complete....Dat Sage Mode was too much xD

Felt a tad awkward given that Orochimaru, the man who killed over 50 newborns, is a loving parent now. At least he still maintains his character traits (teaches kid lesson by wiping memory clean 6 times and setting up a test instead of just telling them, haha)- that manipulative and weird snake.

But, nonetheless the character development for him was done well along with his son. And, I can tell that Kishimoto put a good deal of effort into this- much better than Gaiden. A 45 page chapter was better than 10 chapters (a manga volume) and had more plot progression. Shows what a mangaka can do when he's given more time to plan things out.

The idea of choosing one's own path is nothing new to this series, but this was a nice new take to it.

The art was also very good and the last panel of Mitsuki standing below the moon after finding a hope for the future was beautiful as well.

8/10, objectively speaking. 10/10 w/ bias since I've always had a soft spot for Orochimaru's character and now his son, Mitsuki.

Meh, nothing special really. Felt more like a 'filler' chapter, since I don't really care for Mitsuki. I'd prefer Kishimoto to write another chapter focused on Naruto or Boruto :| 6/10

Orochimaru's manbun makes me feel things.
I actually wished he wasn't artificially created, but oh well.
Overall, this was pretty decent.

So being a huge Orochimaru fan I finally read this and oh, such strange feelings. Yeah, he's still terrifying, but it is weirdly nice seeing him being not a totally crappy parent in his own screwy way. I'm just surprised Mitsuki was totally ok with this, smiling at Boruto's picture and all.

Oro-chan kakui naa xD Nice one-shot, I like Mitsuki.

Mitsuki's sage mode wasn't anything like Kabuto's tho.. so it's not the same with everyone... yeah, I sound like a newbie right now probably xD

Man, I was hoping for him to be born in the sense of normal human being not born as in a lab... Glad he chose to follow his own path... Boruto, Sarada & Mitsuki choosing a different route as their fathers is a great way of setting up this new generation.

The only question is off what consist Mitsuki genetic code DNA (Imagine if is a combination of Orochimaru & Jiraiya DNA) (°~°) as weird this might sound, they were really good friends despite the fact that they were also enemies at some point in time... in this way he would pay homage to his best friend even if this sound a little bit disturbing… one things is for sure this kid would be powerful as f*ck.

Orochimaru said please be a dear. lol
lol at Mitsuki asking Orochimaru if he is his mother or father.
lmao Orochimaru didn't answer the question.
Orochimaru using parental authority.
Another Mitsuki.
Orochimaru just identified himself as "his".
Dat transformation.
So it was all according to Orochimaru's keikaku.
His true name is...Mitsuki.

Dat Tsuki no Ookisa (Size of the moon).
