Booo! That was so anticlimactic. Naruto had better knock Sasuke the hell out, or like at least take an arm or something. And is it me, or did the artwork look a little off?

[RyougaZell]

What a bunch of crap... seriously... I hope they kill each other and end this bull. Sasuke in all his emo-ness feels more real than fucking Naruto. He wants to protect the village and be Hokage? But refuses to defeat the guy who want to kill them all? Sasuke needs to nuke Konoha like Pain did.

[Dark Dragon]

The part that i found to be hilarious was when Karin went "Forget it, i'm done with you". At least there was some common sense going on in this chapter even if none of it is from Naruto.

[darkshadow]

Naruto can't become a hokage like this, letting oro go cost konoha dearly. The same thing will happen if Naruto doesn't just kill sasuke outright.

I'm starting to suspect that the thing itachi left naruto is simply a message, Itachi prolly forsaw that his kid brother was going on a murderous rampage.

[RyougaZell]

I hope Itachi loved konoha more than sasuke at the end and left something inside Naruto ready to trigger and kill Sasuke instead.

Oh yeah. Karin went up on the cool scale thinking about sending Sasuke to hell.

[Prof. Chaos]

I am willing to bet Naruto will enter sage mode and take a chidori straight through him, missing his heart of course, so Sasuke can see his ways.

[Death BOO Z]

Naruto had a clone holding up Kakashi (bringing it back from the first chapters, where Kakashi held up Naruto in a flash-step), why couldn't he have a clone jump on Sasuke from behind?
they're fuckin' ninjas, they don't have to shoot kamehamehas at each other.

anyway, their stupid conversation looks like it was what Kishi planned from the first fight, and just forgot to put it in as that chapter.

by the way, Sasuke is an old school romantic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism) , it just hit me that he's a jerk for the sake of being a crybaby asshole.

[Cal_kashi]

This was pretty much the chapter I (we all) expected. With the added pluses of Karin being awesomer now, and Naruto pulling a fast one on Kakashi. Kishimoto kinda seems to be dragging this out a bit, but I have faith its for a good reason. I'd wager next week's chapter could have been part of this weeks. I wanna see Sakura die.

[Archangel]

How do they keep having these conversations in between chidosengans?

[Cal_kashi]

How do they keep having these conversations in between chidosengans?

The short answer is simple and misleading Sharingan/Kyubi hax! blah blah blah seeing into each other hearts, whatever.

The long answer (and true one) is much more fascinating.
During the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, The many lands and tribes of the Naruto world were linked together by a series of electronic connections they called the "binternets" and for a while it was good. Soon though the people wanted more direct and less hampering interfaces to the binternets so they developed ninja techniques that allowed them to mindmeld with the binternets. Little did they know at the time that the cost of mindmelding with the binternets was a tiny piece of your soul would forever float around in syberspace.
When it was discovered that there was a costly price for this service, as well as growing weary of everyone dicking around all the time in syberspace chatrooms they dismantled the binternets to encourage productivity and critical thinking again. Haven't you wondered why sometimes they have some really awesome technology in Konoha but usually they do things the long and sucky way? It's because they used to by hyper modern technically enabled and have reverted to the ways in which people don't slack quite so much. Anyways, a unique consequence of them shutting down the biternets was that those souls that were in a chatroom together at that moment are forever entwined. (like Oro's arms and Sarotobi Sensei) It just happens that in a past life Sasuke's little bit of soul, and Naruto's little bit of soul were chilling with each other. God knows how many reincarnations later (8 for those playing at home) Naruto and Sasuke are able to communicate when they are all excited 'n shit and near each other because a tiny bit of their soul is still mind melded in that depricated syberspace chatroom. Forever arguing over who would win in a fight astronauts or cavemen.

Did that help?

Are you on Acid?

[Cal_kashi]

Nope, that's really the way I think. I personally blame my daily commute, it makes me loopy all day and today's worse than usual because of the storm. To get home (in a storm at night) I need to store up my crazy all day at work and let it all out in one glorious 70 minute burst of insanity and energy. Inevitably a little slips out as I store it up.

besides, have you ever tired using a computer on acid? That shit just doesn't work... trust me.

[Archangel]

My guess was gonna be gay ninja love but lets go with yours

[Cal_kashi]

Everyone always goes for the simple and misleading answer first...

[RyougaZell]

Everyone always goes for the simple and misleading answer first...

Both keep ignoring females advances. Real and fake. So its not so farfetched to think so...

[Idealistic]

Basically, the same speech from fight 1. And it's already certain from this chapter that Naruto isn't going to kill Sasuke.

I didn't know gay ninjas existed until Naruto. Actually, this manga stopped being about ninjas after the Chuunin exam.

[Sidnne]

After finishing this chapter, the only thing I could think was "That 'I...' on the last frame better not be Naruto saying 'I love you' to Sasuke."

[FelixZeroAlastor]

Clearly it is. He'll be hugging him when the smoke clears. Dr. Phil strikes again.

Yeah i get how you even thought of those things now and have heard that acid and computer just freaks you out :o

At least your "outbursts" are over the internet :)

[animus]

I didn't even bother reading the latter half of the chapter.

[Assertn]

And just think.... if some generic, secondary character that taught one of Naruto's classes didn't hug him, he, too, would become a wide-scale genocidist.

[Sidnne]

So, the Rasengan is not yet finished. The finished version will draw the enemy to Naruto so he can perform hug no jutsu and turn them into a super friend.

Naruto needs some De-gay sprayed on him. No, seriously.

[12345p]

... hug no jutsu !!! ...super friend.

Happy Awesome Power!

[12345p]

Seriously though, I'm hoping for a 2nd translation ...

[Cal_kashi]

Happy Awesome Power!

*friendship* *friendship* *friendship*!

[joker-kun]

He will probably just say "I will save you" or some shit. Although I wish he would reveal his true man love for Sasuke.

[Cal_kashi]

I refuse to believe Naruto's gay. He's always had a thing for Sakura, his first henge was sexy transformation, and he's supposed to be Ero-Senin like.
Now Sasuke... he's never showed interest in chicks, ever, and he's like Oro, who was, um... confused let's say?

[rockmanj]

Happy Awesome Power!

Oh~ Ninja Friend~~ Best Friends forever and ever!

[Whistling]

To be hokage-Naruto needs to become pragmatic. And I really can't see that happening...sadly

[redcat]

he needs to stop being barney the ninja dinosaur

[Patriot]

Lay off NARUTO okay. ...I have nothing to follow that up with. He's been a panzy the entire series...Just once I wish he would man up...sigh...

[Sam98034]

Naruto grew up and all the adults said "Ha! It's not as easy as you thought. You gotta grow up and think like us." Naruto turns around and basically says "F that! I'm sticking to my shit!"
Naruto has balls for sticking to his stuff. No matter what happens, he doesn't go against what he thinks is right. Even when everyone tells him to do something else, he sticks to his ideals and doesn't sway back and forth like a politician. Even if you think he's a dumb ass, you gotta give him some respect for that.

Believe it!

edit: Also, I think it would be nice if Nartuo's ransangen went through this time and hit Sasuke and perhaps cut his forehead (where his forehead protector once was).

It would be fitting.

[itadakimasu]

clearly I was mistaken when I thought that we had surpassed the chidori vs rasengan.

The timing of this really sucks. Sasuke is bleeding from his eyes and injured, so obviously sage mode naruto can own him. why even toy around using regular rasangen?

Is he trying to trick sasuke or something? He used 2 clones to do the rasangen and at this point he's able to do it single handedly... or so i thought.

That's because that exchange was nothing more than a "reunion handshake" as it were - a test, really - to see where other lies in terms of control and resolve. At least I think so... :D

He used 2 clones to do the rasangen and at this point he's able to do it single handedly... or so i thought.My thinking is that Naruto will NEVER be able to single-handedly create a Rasengan (the time that he did do it I'm positive the Kyuubi did most of the work). This is what seperates his shadow clone technique from almost everyone else ('cept for maybe the 3rd's grandson, the prodigy/rival) - to be able to divide his consciousness so completely during clone mode to focus on either manipulating engery flow (rotation), ninja element (wind), or chakra.

He's likely @ his max clone ability if he wants Sage Mode. 2 are with him now, one used to restrain Kakashi, one helped him create a Rasengan, and although we don't know if he left a clone back @ the resting house with Yamato, that is quite likely so. All of them likely suited to be gathering natural energy right now.

[Prof. Chaos]

I think he's able to do the rasengan by himself, but still needs the help to add the wind element to it. Now when he is in sage mode, that is a different story.

[UChessmaster]

He used normal rasengan this time around though, he needs a clone to do the normal version and i doubt he`ll ever learn to do it with one hand considering is totally pointless at this point.

[DeathscytheVII]

"I'm done with you"

Wow, Karin just earned more respect in one sentence than Sakura did in years. Props

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

I think that Naruto is going to say that he is going to kill Sasuke himself. Or at least i want him to say that, real bad.

[Sidnne]

What exactly would make you think that that is what Naruto is going to say, given that he just said, on the last page, that he wasn't going to kill Sasuke?

[Stitch]

man wtf what a gay chapter

only kakashi knows what must be done

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

"I will go down as the man that protected the Village from you!" Better?

[Archangel]

"I will go down as the man that protected the Village from you!" Better?

He'll beat the shit out of sasuke, then heal him and then release him back to the wild?

[DeathscytheVII]

He'll beat the shit out of sasuke, then heal him and then release him back to the wild?

Probably he'll cut his hands off, poke his eyes out, some way to permanently cripple him without killing?

[Patriot]

I feel that Sasuke's eyes are beyond healing now...Anyone else think that Kikashi is about to donate his to Sasuke? Or if not, then maybe Madara will be giving his to Sasuke. Something will have to be done about Sasuke's blindness.

As to karin's "forget it I'm done with you"...anyone who has been with a girl that is in love with you knows, its never over on the first salvo. Usually takes a few more strikes before the enemy is down. When she realizes that he missed her vitals on purpose, she'll fall back in love with him.

Not sure what Naruto will say that would make sense, but since Sasuke is going blind, it could be, "I want to play some Dance Dance Revolution with you" it will make as much sense as what Kishi comes up with...trust me on this...

Uhmmm... he was ready and willing to finish her off...

There is a lot of things...flawed with some of those assumptions. First of all, why would Kakashi give Sasuke his sharingan eye, when he was just about to kill him? And why does somethhing have to be done about Sasuke's blindness? Madara, as we know, has huge plans in store and needs his sharingan eyes to make them happen. And Karin may be dumb, but I don't think she is that dumb. Basically all Sasuke has now is Madara, and you see where he is. I do wonder what next week will bring.

[Keno]

The only thing that comes to mind with that "I..." at the end is. "I... I'll change Konoha for you!" or something lame like that. He won't ever kill him of course. If not that, then something even more lame like, "I'll make you believe" or "I'll save you". Sadly all sound lame, but that's Naruto for you.

I am interested in how will this pan out though. There's always the Madara vortex, but hopefully it doesn't end with something as predictable as that.

Well, yeah, that's the most likely choice. It seems to have been the theme with the majority of Naruto's encounters ever since his fight with Neji and his promise to change the Hyuuga clan. He reiterated it again with Pein when he decided he would change the entire ninja world. And for some reason I feel like Naruto has done that more often than that, but can't think of specific examples at the moment.

I would be entertained if Kishi was a "Child's Play" fan and uses the exchange that took place at the end of the original movie:
Naruto: "I'll be your friend to the end!"
Sasuke: "This is the end, friend!"

Madara doesn't have to give Sasuke his eyes, he has Itachis eyes so Sasuke would be able to get EMS, instead of MS.

Well, yea, he has like, a whole wall of eyes apparently.
