"Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 9, which is titled, "I'll Protect You" finally showed the most-awaited battle between Naruto, Sasuke, Shin, and the rest of the clones. The latest chapter, however, showed Sarada's full capabilities, as she also unleashes the Shannarou and surprises everyone.
"Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 9 is proving to be even more exciting as the chapter begins with Shin trying to kill Sakura with the help of his clones. Sasuke tells Naruto that he should not apologize for his mistake and instead tells them that his wife is not as delicate as they think.
Sasuke's statements confuse Sarada, who begins contemplating about Sasuke's relationships with Karin and Sakura. Naruto taps her in the shoulder and reminds her of what they need to do. Naruto and Sasuke then lead them into the whereabouts of Shin.
Sasuke arrives just in time to save Sakura and Sarada observes Sasuke as he tries to assist Sakura. Just when they thought things are over, Shin calls for his clones to distract them.
The clones, however, begin to attack him on their own. One of them speaks up and tells him that they no longer have any use for him because he is already "unusable and disposable." The younger Shin tells his father that they will be the one to evolve from now on.
The rest of the clones arrive and Choo-Choo notices that the other clones seem different in sizes. Sakura notes that they could not have been cloned properly.
Naruto unleashes his multiple shadow clone technique to battle against the hundreds of clones in the area when a massive clone arrives and surprises everyone.
Shin attempts to escape once again, but this time, he plans on taking Sarada, Choo-Choo and Sakura with him. Sarada takes charge and squashes one of Shin's spare clones.
When a league of new clones arrive, Sakura asks Sarada to stay behind while they prepare to attack them. Sarada steps in once again and unleashes the Shannarou. Naruto, Choo-Choo and Sakura are all stunned while Sasuke smiles.
Meanwhile, some users from Naruto Forums are commenting on how the next chapter in the manga will be the last in the series.
If "The Seventh Hokage" Chapter 10 is really the last chapter in the series, then fans are expecting for a resolution on Sarada's real identity, including the revelation on whether or not she really is Karin or Sakura's daughter.
