Naruto 523

[mildmaythecat]

Finally, a new chapter!

...Should I be worried that I knew who Mangetsu was before Suigetsu pointed it out? Anyway, having his big brother on the scene should make things interesting. Wonder what their relationship is like? Why do I see little!Suigetsu flashbacks in the near future?

The girl on page seven looks remarkably like Haku. Any theories?

Yamanaka Santa?

The Seven Swordsman are just plain cool. I like Ameyuri and Kushimaru (who looks like a potential woman...?). Fuguki looks like she could be Kisame's grandmother.

Aw maaaan, talk about history repeating itself. Haku is awesome. Too bad it means the good guys are losing.

Thoughts...?

Ooh, new chappie! Once again, you're my saving grace, my reminder for another update :D (Seriously, this is a terrible week with so much to do for school... -.-)

Aw man, even though I usually love (some) villains, I don't really like seeing the good guys getting their asses kicked. And that fact about how Zabuza's sword repairs itself? *shudders*

I lol'd at Yamanaka Santa, even more so when only the first name was said. Can you imagine good ol' Santa fighting in a battle with ninjas? I wonder if his Christmas magic could be of any assistance in such a case... ;D

Nah, I don't think you need to be worried. Holy ****, I had completely forgotten about Sasuke's (former?) team... xD Btw, I wonder when we'll see Sasuke again, even though I dread the moment when he'll open his eyes...

Actually, I think that girl is Haku, because that same person shields Zabuza later on, and then Kabuchimaru says that Haku shielded Zabuza... so yeah, for me, that case is closed. Dunno about you, but that's that for me. It's Haku, all right...

Speaking of Kisame, would you mind refreshing my poor memory? I can't remember if Kisame actually died or not... *hides in shame*

So all in all, interesting, and there's definitely a lot of action going on. I do wonder exactly what will happen next - especially to Kakashi D:

"Yamanaka Santa?"

LOL my thoughts exactly. I had to re-read that page a couple times before I finally accepted that it did, indeed, say "Santa."

... What the hell, Santa? Seems like Kishimoto is in dire need of inspiration. =/

Other than that, MAN IS HAKU AWESOME OR WHAT?

You are the saving grace to the many, many people who love Naruto but can't read it. ;A;

(terribly sorry, but I am slow, and... Could you please explain what's going on with Sasuke and his eyes right now? Looks ominous. @____@)

[devotedtodreams.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize! ^__^ I'm a bit slow myself... xD

All I remember at this point is that Sasuke took his brother's eyes, and last time we saw him, he was still wearing a bandage over them. The question is: what will they look like? What kind of (new) powers will he have, now that he has acquired them?

And since this does touch the subject of Itachi himself: what is up with that mysterious power he transferred to Naruto? What will its effect be when Naruto and Sasuke fight against each other (which is inevitable)?

Those are - for me - the big questions right now...

egad, I picked the best time *ever* to enter this fandom. :|

What will its effect be when Naruto and Sasuke fight against each other (which is inevitable)?

I just hope Kishi's not going to do something ridiculous like ~unable to fight each other~ a la Harry Potter. -__-

Um... is that meant in an ironic way? (Sorry, but I just have to ask because I suck at detecting irony, both in real life and on the Internet ^^;)

Ooh, good point! Man, I bet that was a major point near the end of the 7th book, huh? Something tells me that it might be wise to read it again before I watch the second part of the movie when it's in theaters... (on the other hand, I didn't really like that particular book, so yeah :/)

[imago.livejournal.com]

About half and half? :D

The movie was pretty bad. Like, very entertaining, but I wouldn't even consider watching it again. :P But oh God, Kishi, don't do the action equivalent of cockblock on us. ;A;

[devotedtodreams.livejournal.com]

Haha, okay! Half and half is often a very good answer :)

The first half? I dunno; because I didn't like the book too much, I thought it was okay. What I didn't like was that I didn't know when there would be a lot of blood in a scene, so I couldn't shield my eyes in time (I can't handle blood in films) :/

Let's pray that Kishi won't let us down - I still haven't forgiven him for killing off Itachi >:(

[emanga.livejournal.com]

Speaking of Kisame, would you mind refreshing my poor memory?

No problem; it really starts to get confusing, trying to remember who's dead and who's alive and who we thought was dead and who technically is dead but has been brought back to life...oy vay. x.x

But yeah, Kisame is utterly dead at the moment. :(

[emanga.livejournal.com]

C-Can't read it...? That's horrible! Have you tried any scanalation sites?

[devotedtodreams.livejournal.com]

... ...FML. Dammit, Kishimoto, no matter what happens to this series or how it will end, I will NOT be able to forgive for wiping out 99% of the coolest organization of villains ever!! T________T

R.I.P., Kisame... and everyone else of the Akatsuki whom I knew and loved.

(Same userpic again, but damn, that's just keepin' it real.)

No time. ;____;
