    Oh, the suspense! And a hiatus coming up too...so is this going to be it for Kakashi (I'm guessing a slug finds him, so no)? And how exactly does that sharingan work? Like, I guess its too difficult to zap heads off with it, or something, eh? Choji lost his dad, Danzou's making a dangerous play for Hokage (which doesn't make sense if everyone is dead), and Ino's dad is like the Charles Xavier of Konoha...

    Neat. Kakashi used his MS on the nail.

    It's disappointing that Choji was so helpless that he couldn't avoid a projectile and Kakashi had to use his MS on it.

    After last week's chapter I did not believe that Kakashi was really dead, and he wasn't. But, now... well, I'm not so sure. It seems like 50/50. I really hope he isn't dead though; he and Shikamaru are the only leaf ninja worth seeing in action, imo.

    It's gonna be a long two weeks.

    No way Kakashi is done for if he didn't got hit with the nail and with Tsunade's Katsuyu roaming around.

    Sorry, but using the MS to negate the nail didn't do it for me, especially when the last frame of the previous chapter suggested that Kakashi was hit. Anyway, Chouji's father's death wasn't that impactful as well, since we didn't get to see any action from Chouji. I was expecting him to go into his transformed state when he said "watch me".

    I agree with Psyke. The chapter was kinda meh.

    We already knew Danzou wanted to be Hokage.
    No real info from Pain's brain.
    Another cheap Sharingan moment.
    Chouza dies... so?

    zzzzzz

    Looks like there's a chance all the previous genin parents are dying, starting with Chouji's. Maybe Danzo will come and kill Ino's dad or something.

    ok... so konoha has a giant brain scanner?
    doesn't it strike anyone else as creepy?

    also, Roots evil HQ is made by Yamato? (whom we haven't seen in this battle yet, and might come and save Kakashi). and Danzou really is a jerk face.

    Hah, yeah. When I first saw that, I didn't quite know what to make of it.


    Come to think of it... I still don't.

    Looks like that statue has some meaning after all!

    And holy shit this chapter was pretty good. I definitely did not expect for them to show so many different point of views!

    And I'm still thinking Kakashi will remain alive even after that. One of Tsunade's slugs might make it in time to save him. But maybe not, and this invasion of Konoha would signal the original genins coming into the forefront. We'll finally get to see what was planned for them, when if you think about it, Kishi could have easily just used older characters to start with and not have dealt with the kids.

    You guys are heartless, i for one am sad we lost such a great character.

    There is no telling how those 10 pages that he appear in would've turn out if Chouza never existed.

    I think kakashi's first MS took out both the nail and that body of Pain's.

    At least...I don't know why else the other Pain body would be missing while Kakashi was still left alive...

    so whats the deal with that last frame of kakashi's head jarring back and blood going everywhere? I got the impression that he used some mangekyo genjutsu and just sent the nail into space. I have a feeling the boss Pain is still in this plane of universe.

    ...wut? Here He just left because he thought kakashi was already dead.

    Everyone is talking about Tsunade's slugs, but you don't seem to realize that even if one of them reaches kakashi, he still has to deal with Asura Path Pain. Even if he can't attack anymore he has already sent word that kakashi is alive to the other 5 so i don't really see a way for him to get out of this one.

    And what's worst he started mumbling some crap about his dead friends... kakashi is screwed.

    I agree. The second it looked like it was going to be a flashback Kakashi's fate was set in stone. Not to mention now that Pain knows Kakashi is still alive there is NO way he wont at least try to finish him off since Pain himself said that if he failed to kill Kakashi it would mean trouble for him in the future.

    I'll take the liberty to point this out as a pivotal point in the story writing. I want kakashi to live, so much...but I can't think of a way to make it happen without it seeming like bullshit. If history is any help in predicting this, neither can Kishimoto (I'm hoping he can though...but the safe bet is to not even go there). So our options are, moving death of one of the coolest characters ever, or complete and utter ruination of his character via his survival. If some slug/some tsunade comes to save him, it'll be like "ooooh boy...where have I seen THIS before..." and I'm specifically saying that it's happened to kakashi before, not to mention other characters. If no one comes to save him, then he's got nothing left to save himself. Even if Pain leaves him alone, he should die for having used that move. That's a big death hole and it would take more ingenuity than anyone has to write a character that crawls out of it, in this kind of story anyway.

    As much as this'll suck...I hope he dies...

    I'm back, with more point of interest.

    I found it pretty funny that the payne-village people were being suspicious of bringing in the body to the payne tower, it blended it perfectly with the leaf people having a giant brain hidden inside one of their buildings.. just business as usual.

    I liked last chapters solution of Kakashi.. this time it was pushing it to force emotion (maybe put the anime kakashi gaiden here?), it's not like MSharingan was kakashi signature move (or a move somebody wanted to see again..) and they made chouji look weak again (seriously, you're saying he can't survive a RPG? he's a freaking tank with rolling abilities! he can probably altar his own height like Luffy and pass the rocket between the balls).

    I'm still annoyed by the Danzou shit, his presence as a village elder contracted with Tsunade's goody-to-shoes behavior and made the 'ninja' thing seem more realistic. now he's turned into an evil tyrant... boring.

    I don't think we need to see the old genins all the time, they don't need to keep up with the power levels of Naruto. they need to stay around so Naruto could interact with them and move the plot. this isn't SDK or a tournament anime where everybody needs to be on the same power grid. Naruto (and Sasuke) are supposed to be stronger than the rest, they're special enough to fight in the big leagues. having someone like Tenten or Kiba (even Neji) fight equally with the akatsuki will be like having Iruka win against Kabuto or Sai.
    completely shitting the story.

    Naruto needs new allies, he already gotten a new mentor (Yamato) and new BFF (Sai), staying with the old ones is just going to turn each arc into shit (example: Bleach, Samurai deeper kyo)

    I want to know why everybody keeps saying Konoha has a giant brain stored...

    Damn it! Its Genjustu / Mind reading people!!

    We clearly see Ino standing besides Inoichi when Shizune arrives. And the man has his hand over a device which is sending his mind into another plane... remember they have mind transfer techniques. They are probably transmiting themselves into the dead Pain's head.
