I sympathized with him, the first couple times he gave that speech, but all that sympathy's gone now. I do not like people vagging their emo problems all over the place... on the other hand, I did like his attitude towards Akatsuki targeting the demon spirits.
    Did you even pay attention to that scene at all? The entire time Naruto wasn't complaining about his life....he was complaining that Gaara, despite being in the same situation as Naruto, always ends up being the one that suffers the most.

    It was a totally selfless moment.

    I prefer to bottle up my anger and frustration until it boils over and I explode. I'd like my anime heroes to do the same, so I can idolize them. Cause usually they have super powers, so when they explode, lots of people get hurt.

    That's the first "breaking cup means omen" scene I've seen in the numerous anime and j-dramas I've watched. Maybe I need to watch more shoujo or yaoi anime?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    yaoi? you into boy-boy?

    the biggest emo in this series ain't Naruto, but Sasuke.

    OK enough about emo already...!

    Anyone else notice the significance of that conversation near the end between Naruto and Jiraiya? It seems to be quite a U-turn in Jiraiya's style of training Naruto. First he was trying to get him to harness the power of Kyuubi, now he seems to be saying don't use it. Unless he is talking about some as of yet undisclosed power/technique, I think this has relevance to fight he was having with Sasuke at the beginning of ep 1. If he now able to fight without the power of Kyuubi and is independently strong, then Sasuke could be being lulled in to a fall sense of security by Naruto, as he just stood by and let him disperse the Kyuubi chakra.

    Maybe Jiraiya saw some of the destructive power of the kyuubi during their training, and is now reluctant to have Naruto harness it's powers. Like the Force, maybe he fears Naruto can't control the dark side of his power, and it will take over and he'll do evil with it. If he trained him well enough to control his chakra and improve his own skills, then Naruto won't have to dip into the kyuubi pool of chakra.

    That fight DB_Hunter mentions was all figurative wasn't it? Or was Sasuke actually inside Naruto's mind, using Sharingan? Freaky stuff. I'd like to see Sasuke unleash his emo side!

    Oh yeah, no one mentioned the return of Inner Sakura!!!
