Naruto 549

let this work, let this work, let this work...

First off, major thanks to everyone who suggested using mangastream; I am, and it doesn't seem to be screwing with anything yet. :D

SO. From what I've gathered, this chapter has messed with almost all of us emotionally, because we are just ~that loyal~ in our collective geekiness.

Apparently Nagato can still actually fight. Pretty well. Despite, yanno, needing piggyback rides from Itachi the last ten chapters. And no, I never thought I'd be typing that sentence either.

On that note: ITACHIIIIIII. ♥times a million

I love how he and Naruto are having this great catch-me-up conversation whilst battling each other. Just don't destroy him until we've had our brotherly reunion, 'kay Naruto? (YOU OWE US THAT MUCH, KISHI.) And for some strange reason I loved Itachi's "Goddamn you, Madara..." Maybe it's because someone finally said what we've all been saying since the aftermath of Sasuke and Itachi's fight, maybe it's just the sheer "Whoa" of the ever-stoic Itachi actually cursing someone, or maybe I just get too excited over the tiniest things. But there you go.

And, and--THE CROW. THE CROW. THE CROW THAT I'VE BEEN BABBLING ABOUT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS FINALLY MADE A REAPPEARANCE!!!! FINALLY WE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH!!!! *is shot*

*cough* So. Um. I loved it. What'd you all think?
