Naruto’s final mystery resolved?
When chapter 700 unleashed itself upon the fandom, causing the divide between Haters and Appreciaters, I was one of the few who barely showed any interest in their war because my concern was not over ships. Instead, my worries and confusion went towards the greatest anime villain of them all; Orochimaru. Where did he go? What does he get up to? Why wasn’t he the final villain of the series instead of bloody Kaguya?
However, it’s wrong of me to build this up like it’s Orochimaru’s story. In actuality, this chapter is about Mitsuki. For those of you who don’t know, Mitsuki is the mysterious third member of Team Boruto, who stands alongside banana-hair Boruto Uzumaki and surprisingly badass Sarada Uchiha, who first appeared without any real ceremony and never got the credit he was due. It always felt like we were building up to this chapter whenever he made that rare appearance, instead of just telling us his story when we see him. Thankfully, this return by Kishimoto is beautiful… if you’re a sadist.
The boy Mitsuki wakes up in a lab, confused and groggy. The mad scientist Orochimaru steps over and gives Mitsuki a drink, which apparently is disgusting and causes the cup to fall and break. Orochimaru then takes his leave and asks his assistant Suigetsu to escort Mitsuki to his room later. Mitsuki then asks Suigetsu who he is, to which Suigetsu remarks how this is the 6th time and tells Mitsuki that he failed a mission with Orochimaru, before attacking Mitsuki himself with a kunai.
