There have been only ten chapters and the manga has stopped being published.
Why? What about the parts of the plot that have been left unexplained?

question
naruto naruto-gaiden
Why are there no new chapters of Naruto Gaiden?


_Naruto Gaiden: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring_ is a sequel mini-
series of the original Naruto manga, part of the Naruto Project. The Naruto
Project is a special project to celebrate 15 years of the Naruto series.

The _Naruto Gaiden_ acts as a prelude for _Boruto: Naruto the Movie_.

In Japanese literature, a gaiden (外伝) means side story or tale.

Therefore gaiden is generally consists of only a few chapters.

The unexplained elements in the series might (most probably will) be
elucidated in the upcoming series.
