Good thinking for naruto ^ ^
I wonder what will happen in the next chap.

And it's official . . .

NEVER KILL A MOE GIRL IN A SHOUNEN MANGA! :evil: :x

But then it just seems like the author is pulling shit out of his ass despite knowing the fans reaction towards something like that. Sure it's unpredictable and the author gets that satisfaction of fulfilling that, but it still isn't wise to upset the masses just to quench one little itch, especially AFTER the fact. I mean, you wouldn't tell a black joke in Oakland when you're the only getting the satisfaction of your humor.



The manga's far from over, we still got a number of characters left, and a deus ex Sasuke scene awaiting the near future.

Eh, I wasn't happy about Hinata showing up in the battle at all. It seemed like too typical a thing to do, too generic for a series that has a history of not being generic. The moment she showed up, everyone knew that she would either be killed by Pain, and that would be typical because Kishimoto's been killing off so many characters lately, or she would survive Pain's attack, and it'd be too predictable. The only way to escape that would be to have Hinata survive but then die. Well, I suppose if she was seriously wounded and had to stop being a ninja, that'd work, too, but I highly doubt that will happen.

I can understand needing a way to make Naruto go crazy and unleash more tails, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy with the way it happened. And there may not have been a better way than having Hinata show up, but it still reeks of stereotypical shonen crap, especially since Hinata lives.

All that aside, I'm really looking forward to the next couple of chapters. What I'm not looking forward to are the chapters that come out a month or so from now, where Naruto will undoubtedly talk to a wounded Hinata about how she loves him and saved him and all that. I'd prefer a giant funeral with Hinata as one of the many corpses and Naruto silently crying and training harder.

The Sasuke vs Naruto will always be either save for last or hell they'll end up as friends again in the end. :P

Error! Does not compute.

The only people who are dying are the older ninjas. The young newer generation is most likely not going to die. Pain shoulda stuck the sharpened rod into her brain if he wanted to kill her. 20 bucks says Naruto beats Pain's final body. Goes visit his crib. Origami chick attacks. Naruto beats the crap outta her. Naruto talks to Pain. Pain ignores it. Pain trys something with his final breath. Coughs blood. Dies. If something along the lines of that happens I will laugh.

1st Bolded: I knew that she was going to live. She obviously has a 300% minor character shield.
2nd Bolded: Or he says something about Tobi and he dies while Naruto has a shocked face.

The real thing I have to wonder is how will Naruto learn to control the Nine-Tails. Is it possible he will learn from the 8 Tailed Jinchūriki? It's a puzzle right there but once we get a hint he's gonna be OP DBZ I CAN DESTROY A PLANET man...

100% likely.

That ain't never gonna happen, we've got high-tier city & mountain busters (and a country buster if Pain gets his weapon up and running), but compared to Bleach/OP/DBZ Naruto still is on a "down-to-earth" level when it comes to fighting.
Not to mention that in Naruto they actually use tactics to beat their opponents, not just bashing away until one of 'em dies.

So, here's a question that is still on my mind. Is Kakashi alive or dead? It was never confirmed if he is dead or not, unless I missed something.

DESPITE ALL EVIDENCE AND PROOF THAT HE DEAD, he will be alive. They'll find a way.

Honestly if Kakashi is alive I won't be one bit upset that it has just been done for the fans or that it makes no sense for him to be alive. Kakashi is one of my favorites. I am hoping for Kakashi to be alive.

Lol no he's dead. Naruto even said it basically. So did Tsunade. If by some magical chance he used up all his chakra beyond the limit of destroying your life and living I would laugh and say "WHAT A TWIST!"

Also, HOLYSHITAFROMAN. :shock:

I'm getting pretty annoyed with how short the chapters are. I need to not read this manga for about a year.
