Naruto Shippuuden Episode 24

[February]

Neji's byakugan should be able to see through the genjutsu though.

i thought byakugan was only for physical material? and its zooming ability?

If time has passed and her hair grew back, we should've seen some growth as well. All we saw was little 12 year old Sakura from the first arc.

I'm just going to take it in as the animators screwed up.

She has long hair in the manga flashback as well.

And I don't know what the Third Kazekage's/Sasori's limitations on the control of Iron Sand are, but I would have done a Gaara and used Desert Coffin on Sakura, but I guess that would just add to the repetition.

Heh, all that made me think what it would be like if Akatsuki put Shukaku inside Sasori. One-tails unlimited chakra powering the iron sand? Sweeeeeeet.

No...that's the reason kage bunshin worked on Neji, because it wasn't a genjutsu.

What do you mean by physical material anyway? Genjutsu isn't physical material, so that would be all the more reason why he'd be able to differentiate.

Or she was only working on Healing Jutsu's for the first part of the training and the second part was more battle training. So I dont think that the animators screwed up, I just think that they were showing exactly what I said, which was training on medical jutsu's and then got her ass beat by Tsundae! -dg-

She cut her hair in the Chuunin Exam arc, well before she met Tsunade. Though it's possible she let it grow during her time with Tsunade, it doesn't seem likely since cutting it was such a big deal for her in the first place. It was supposed to show her committment to becoming a better ninja.

[saman]

maybe she just likes growing it out and then chopping it all off symbolically every now and then. *shrugs*

It wasnt the short hair that was the point. It was her not wasting her time with hair and spending more time on training. That is why Kin was all..."You hair is soo lusty, you should spend more time training and less time on your hair."

Hence why it was so ragged in the flashback. She hasnt had time to cut it or style it. She was working that hard on becoming a better ninja. -dg-

[DarthEnderX]

Exactly. If she kept worrying about keeping it short, then she'd be fussing over unimportant things again.

@February
Byakugan lets the user see chakra, which makes noticing genjutsu fairly straight forward. Since genjutsu involves a user manipulating the chakra of their victim a Byakugan user should be able to perceive the abnormal flow by just looking at the victim. However a skilled enough gnejutsu user ought to be able to fool even that by manipulating the chakra going through they Byakugan users eyes and thus tricking even them. Though this hasn't really been tested so it's possible the Byakugan eyes are somehow immune/resistant to chakra manipulation.

To all those who're saying this fight in the manga was so much better or cooler than the anime, etc.... I seem to recall many complaints about this fight when the manga was being released each week

Just sayin'.
