Naruto 549

[mildmaythecat]

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?

Oh my gosh, this chapter re-ignited my flaming passion for this series, if not for another week at least. *lame*

lulz, Nagato needing piggyback rides. The forum's joke has become a reality. And Nagato has certainly become much more humorous in death. "NARUTO! I can't move on my own... But I can fly. *summons bird*"

Naruto: -.-

Nonononon, you're not the only one going "O__O holy shit Itachi just swore," and possibly, "Ohhhh shit, nigga is gonna get it." XD Itachi is mad. oAo

THE CROW THAT I'VE BEEN BABBLING ABOUT FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS

FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS

TWO YEARS

Holy shit it's been two years? *A* This fandom is timeless, I tell you. AND I'M DREADING NEXT WEEK. ALL MY TEARS AND LOVE. OTL

Dude, I realized that I had actually forgotten to read the previous few chapters - so much going on in my life right now as I try to sort things out... -.-

But wow, catching up was one hell of a ride! The stuff with Gaara... just... d'awwwwwww :') However, I was getting really impatient with the chapter called "Naruto vs. Itachi" - why was it called like that when those two actually only met during the last few pages? *rolls eyes*

But then: BAM! Yeah, I agree: it was awesome how they had the catch-up-talk during battle xD And man, Itachi did not look happy about Sasuke's current ambition at all... Hopefully Kishimoto really will grant us a brotherly reunion so he can speak to his confused younger brother! *anxious*

I'm so excited about this whole crow business! I remember reading the part where that happened and was all like "What the hell?!", but soon the mystery will be revealed! Or at least we had better get a better clue as to what is up with that crow... I just hope it won't be a simple repellent against Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan (that would be kinda lame)... ^^; (OMG, I just realized how long it has been since I wrote anything Naruto-ish, since it was downright strange to type "Mangekyou Sharingan" O_____O)

Hopefully when the next chapter comes out, it won't take me forever to read it, but I cannot guarantee anything, what with the whole business of finishing up my summer co-op (I WANT MY VACATION BACK! *cries*) and preparing for my trip to Russia. But I'll do my best :)))
