The ninja cats are there because the Pakkun plushes and soft toys haven't been selling as well as before.

Although I also feel that the cats were unnecessary, it doesnt create any wtf feelings for me since we've already seen Pakkun
Did Deidara say that he was going after Naruto's team or Sasuke's team? The way my scanalation was translated, it seemed like he didn't decide yet...
Someone mentioned about the city-type of setting that Sasuke enters, but if you really think back, the Naruto world has had some high-tech equipment such as (Oro taking a modern shower while painfully waiting for Sasuke to be delivered, or the time when ANBU was using TV and cameras to watch the Chunnin exam partcipants) so it seems appropriate....even though I highly want Kishi to make the Naruto world free of the modern technology we see today. If you really think about it, I dont know where but some part in Naruto, they showed us ninjas talking through microphones and headsets, which makes me wonder why they even use birds to transport messages (when sand village send an urgent bird to notify Konoha that Gaara had been taken)
I suppose Yamato could set up telephone poles out of wood to each bordering country, but remember these places are often at war and have to be careful of even their allies. So it makes sense that they would be more secluded like that. And so what if they have made some modern advancements. You dont see them ALL the time, which shows that yes they can use them, but they would rather rely on their jutsus and such as opposed to technology all the time, like we use it! -dg-Originally Posted by February
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
Didn't Kishimoto say that he set Naruto up in this time and age, but without modern weapons like guns, bazookas, or tanks?
Anyway, felt like the Cats were really weird, and I have absolutely no idea where the girl came from.
Am I the only one dissapointed by the cats and the old woman?
Ah, I see I'm not alone.
Seriously, what's up with that? I always thought the Uchiha were cool enough to not need cats/animal sidekick. But now they do. BTW, is the old lady an Uchiha? If so, is the girl who was dressing Juugo an Uchiha as well? Because if they are, you know, it kinda takes the romance away. If there are females, there can be babies, and so the Uchiha won't become extint...
Well, I just hope that's the last we'll see of the cat woman and the two talking furballs. I have to say I like the new outfits, and I do like Suigetsu... Juugo, I just love how he's so tall. Still not sure about Karin. Not sure at all. What's her purpose? To be the brains/intelligence-gatherer of the team?
And yay for the new team! I've wanted to take a look at Kiba/Hinata/Shino ever since they appeared, about a year ago or so. I must be the only person not that interested in Shino - I can't help it, but bugs! Ew.
Anyway, I'm not sure I read correctly... did they say they're going to try and capture Itachi, or "restrain" him or something? 'Cause if they do, it's madness. Complete madness. No matter how much they've grown, and even if team 8 are the best for that kind of thing, it's still impossible to capture someone like Itachi. Can you imagine Itachi being "restrained" until Sasuke appears? I sure can't.
Nah... they aren't Uchihas.
They are just their (private?) providers of weapons according to Sasuke.
Is it just a plot hole that Konoha is sending two platoons of Chuunin to capture an S rank criminal? Wouldn't a group of 6 Jounin be more appropriate? I understand the necessity of keeping Naruto in the series' action, but how can this seriously happen?
It's just my opinion that you, as the leader of the entire village, would want to send the best qualified, not just the guy who wants to do it the most. Anybody else share the same thoughts?
Oh yeah, the cats (and the old lady) kinda sucked. Boring.....I seriously felt like I was watching filler again.
It's always been like that. Highest success rate to bring back Sasuke when the Sound 4? was escorting Sasuke would be to send jounins or chuunins. Tsunade would use the excuse that the jounin's are all out on missions due to the combined attack of the Sound + Sand on Konoha. Same thing with the current anime arc in Naruto, but it's an OK one here, due to the fact that Gai's team consists of him, Neji (Jounin), Lee and TenTen who are all capable shinobi.
Not a plot hole. It makes sense considering that a) they'd use a tracking squad, one of the most talente din the village, since their parents would be passing their prime. Besides why not a squad with the hiers to several of the more powerful clans, Aburame and Hyuuga (though Neji would be better). Also consider the last to Akatsuki were dropped by a genius chuunin with nor extraordinary skill and a hyperpowered genin. I think it shows how overrated rank is.
Plus the Leaf Village seems insistant upon handling things that are personal to you. Maybe they believe the added modivation improves performance. So obviously Naruto, Sakura and kakashi would be there, and the others are able and skilled. Besides how many other ninjas in the leaf do you know of that are better for this situation.
I liked the cats, if but for the fact we know where the equipment that theyll use came from, as opposed to them whipping out random weapons out of no where.
That's what I'm wondering... If your clan is going to keep a secret storage area for weapons, wouldn't it be a little close to home? In other words.... Close to Konoha? Then again... Team Hebi could be close to Konoha, nobody just knows.
That must be why the Uchiha clan died so easily by Itachi!!!!! Their weapons were stored in a secret place faraway from home!

I cant help but think that Shikamaru's team would be better for containment.
finally, shino is back
Ehh... Shino may be underdeveloped but honestly, I think he's the most boring character out of all the rookie 9. All he does is throw bugs on you that eat up chakra. Nothing too impressive.... At least to me.
the sole fact that he lets colonies of bugs live inside his body itself is impressive enough, no?
Talk about boring, you mean Ino. All she's done is the mind control jutsu
TenTen's probably the least impressive one.
The girls are the least impressive ones. Damn you, macho world, damn you!!!
Well, I guess Tsunade is cool, and Temari is not so bad. But Konoha girls suck. They are mostly cannon fodder so the guys can get angry (You've hurt my precious teammate!! You'll pay!!) and beat the bad guy.
I just hope Hinata shows some improvement in the following chapters, but really, I just don't think it'll happen.
Team 8 is the best for finding and capturing people, so I guess it makes sense they're the chosen ones. Kiba and Akamaru can track their "prey" (Itachi, I guess), Shino can drain the chakra or prepare traps using his insects and Hinata.... Oh God, she's the medic, probably. Girls are medics, it seems. Well, Hinata can block the passage of chakra, too, right?
But all that can't be enough to worry Itachi. It'd be too simple.
well i always thought shino was a more strategic based ninja like shikimaru and i am hoping he will have some glory moments and not underlooked like always :|, not too happy about tobi and deidera fighting them, i'd like tobi to live as long as possible haha
I don't really have a problem with the konoha lineup. My only (false?) hope is that we get to see a real team battle instead of like, 8 drawn out fights that'll last until the end of this year =P
Well, an old woman and a young girl beat Sasori ;P

SHINO IS THE MAN! I cant wait until he gets some play in the series. I hope he shows something crazy that makes his character awesome in the next accel game. Naruto Accel is awesome.
