Great volume. Naruto family back story. Inner struggle with nine tails.
I am sad that the waterfall of truth episode ended so soon. Felt the sudden realisation of truth by Naruto to be too quick.
Meeting Kushina was unexpected but getting to know the entire story was not at all expected.
Loved the cross over between Kushina and Mommy Uchiha . Loved baby Itachi.
Cannot wrap up my head round the idea of using a lady as a jinchuriki and then letting her experience something that is definitely a recipe for disaster.
The writer kind of tried to explain why Naruto was chosen.
Didnot like the dialogue in which the father stresses on the woman to at least give him a grandchild before she does something reckless.
Maybe I am too immatured to accept the basic evolutionary need as of now.

I guess I liked seeing what kind of characters Kushina and Minato are, and I really like all of the art in this volume. Most of it is really pretty. That being said holy shit there are some views I don't agree with. Again with the female characters being second fiddle and kind of garbage. Also Kushina telling Naruto as she is dying that he can only be attracted to women? I get that this series isn't really know for any form of canon positive LGBTQIA+ themes, but yikes.

This is my favorite volume out of the whole manga, it's actually one of the few volumes I own a printed copy of.
I knew what would happen, I read it many times but I still cried like the first time ❤️

Few people do training story arcs like Masashi Kishimoto. Sure, for the longest time it seemed like Yoshihiro Togashi of Yu Yu Hakusho fame was the shonen manga-ka most (in)famous for his training arcs, which were usually very long and very multi-layered, but recently Kishimoto has shown us what he can really do with some age-old genre tropes, and what comes out of all of this is volume fifty-three of Naruto, in which Naruto fights himself and then fights inside himself, only to find some unexpected assistance from a character I did not expect to see return any time soon. This volume is not so much the birth of Naruto – though it is that too – as much as the rebirth of Naruto, in which he embraces who he truly is and uses it to his own advantage in some incredible character growth that is much needed after what seemed like volumes of the young man struggling with his own self-identity. In short, if you are a fan of the series' title orange-clad character, this is a volume of Naruto to marvel and enjoy and possible get a bit teary over.

Fun to see Naruto with his mom and more backstory.
The only problem with more backstory is that sometimes it makes things make less sense.
Like if Narutos mom and Sasukes mom were friends, why did she not care about her dead friends baby? Also who the heck took care of Naruto? Why didn't he have any adoptive parents?

One of the saddest and best story arcs in the whole Naruto series. As a result it is one of my favorites!
