IS THAT TOO HARD TO ASK?!
yes.

you're asking for a scene where Naruto comes back to the village, sees the dead body of Iruka, there's a tear dropping from his eyes into the puddle of blood, a completely black panel with just two sentences: "I used to believe in peace.." at the top, and "Now I only believe in this!" at the bottom, leading into a panel of hundreds of Naruto clones with tomahawks and kyuubi mode activated?
that's just crazy talk from a madman.

you got four dead guys in the past 100 chapters, if you don't like it, you can read bleach, that actually covers less time than HxH in the recent sixty issues.
