[Stoopider]

wow.. Great.. Thanks Kai. You've made me a happy man.

[kAi]

I always make you a happy man!
Berserk thread, anyone? heh

Now on to the chapter.





Gaara will be back, Kishimoto is a pussy

[Terracosmo]

Gaara survives and Chiyo dies, the world is TOTALLY IN SHOCK.

At Kishimoto's inability to write a good plot, that is.

In the end, what the fuck was the point of Sasori and Deidara? Just roadblocks.
Also, 5 bucks that Deidara's exploding face will be somewhat censored in the anime.

also lmao @ Kakashi's "I sent the explosion somewhere else".
I instantly thought of DBZ where Goku teleported himself and Cell's explosion to Kaio's planet.
I wonder where he sent it, to Tsunade's office?

[nests]

I knew this would happend and I'm glad it did. I dont know why people conplain so much about not wanting to kill of any characters. I say, if killing someone doesnt have a big impact on the story line why do it. Than again killing Gaara would of being big.
Another thing, Kishimoto did kill the Third wich is more than I can say for other shonen type manga. for example Bleach I love the manga but characters look like they're dying all the time only to later show that they were safed, nobody has died in Bleach so far, and nobody is complaining.

I just bursted out laughing right there.

But I agree, Kishimoto needs to take a risk with his series and kill of characters every now and then.

[Kenshiro]

Thanks for the upload.

Gay chapter. I cant believe Gaara is coming back to life. I also cant believe that Akatsuki are such a bunch of pussies.

If all it takes to take one of them down is a high level Jounin and a Chuunin/Genin then why the fuck is anyone scared of them? Ill accept that Deidara had already fought Gaara and had his hand crushed and no clay left... blah blah but he should have put up MUCH more of a fight.

[nests]

you forget that he gave 30% of his chakra to take the one tail out of Gaara oh and so did Sasori
like I said last week I wonder how Gaara is going to be after this maybe they'll demote him to Genin

All his attacks were based around the demon. He will be no stronger than a Genin/Chunnin after this.

[kAi]

I don't think his techniques were all based around the demon, I think he'll still be able to control sand and all that shit, except he wont have the automatic guard or have as much chakra as before, and run tired pretty quickly.

[LobsterMagnet]

Yeah I was kinda wondering WTF Diedara was thinking when he decided to lure naruto away with Garra's body. He had already said he was out of clay so what's the point of starting another fight? I'm still disappointed that Sasori and Deidara went down so quickly. I've been hankering for a non-sasuke related flashback for a while now. I guess Kishimoto killed them off because he didn't want to get to clogged by exposition. He must be saving it up for some later stuff. I mean think about it. There are four unknown members of the atsuki who still need to be given exposition. Plus Zetsu and lets not forget about the other five Jinjurinkins who will also need some sort of introduction and exposition. Look on the bright side, no-one really knows what direction the story is going to go take from here. I'm looking forward to the next 2-3 chapters since I think we can say that this arc has officially come to a close.

[Assertn]

nothing really happened in this chapter that i didnt expect
although it's nice to know that kakashi's new ability more specifically transports things to alternate dimensions, as opposed to just...imploding them

[Winged Dancer]

Wow, they werent kidding when they said "low quality".

Yay for Gaara coming back to life. It's a shame they killed Deidara like that though - it was just too stupidly easy.
Well, I'm sure he's in heaven blowing up shit, however.

Yeah, this episode was pretty predictable, but not as bad as others. Chiyo was suppossed to die anyway because of the posion so at least she'll be bringing Gaara back... then again, I'm expecting Kishimoto to revive her in two more weeks though.

Now that Gaara's coming back, y'reckon he will still have Shusaku inside? I guess not, it was pulled out, but I wonder if that'll affect his personality or something.

[Knives122]

To me it just seems like Mirokus Kazanna from inuyasha, except it just transports it there instead of sucking it in.

[Assertn]

<Jaredster>Maybe, Like Cell, Gaara will remain "Perfect Gaara" even though he lost what made him perfect shortly before he died because apparently that's what happens when you are reincarnated</Jaredster>

[Terracosmo]

I'm pretty sure Chiyo will stay dead. Kishi usually doesn't have problems with killing off random arc-only characters.

As for this changing Gaara's personality: well at least he'll be able to sleep properly. I reckon he'll sleep the next 3 years or something.

[LobsterMagnet]

I've been looking forward to seeing naruto's reunion with Garra. It should prove interesting since they still haven't meet on good terms yet.

[folf]

maybe if the explosion did something... Enough to leave a scar perhaps on Naruto, even with his quick healing and a med ninja like sakura..
Or something.
take gaara, run away, return gaara, blow self up. was the explosion really suicide or escape. Is there any twist at all?
oh well.

[Winged Dancer]

Mmh, I can picture -

MEANWHILE, IN TSUNADE'S OFFICE!!

Tsunade: Mmmh, now lets see, what is the schedule today...?

Work Shizune's ass off.

Be lazy.

Weird hole opens, Deidara's arm falls on Tsunade's desk

...WTF??? What is an arm doing in my desk??

And the hole opens again. BOOM

So someday Kakashi comes back and it's all like TSUNADE PUUUUNCH!!!! and bye-bye Kakashi. The sad death of the Copy-Ninja.

And the only thing I wish is for Gaara not to become a wuss now that he has no demon. Also, how will he fight? Didn't he rely too much on 0ownz0RRz the sand?

[ChaosK]

AHAHAHAH, its good that garra survived, though the plot with it is shitty. instead of killing the coolest characters kishimoto should kill the gay ones, chiyo dying is a good thing. btw kai, the link you gave has some weird photoshopping and a missing page...
