Hinataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! (me = fanboy)
Even though I knew it last week.. it...just..sucks!
Just put a katsuyu on her quickly or something.. just.. not like this..
Naruto/Kyuubi, kick the living shit out of this guy...tear him apart.
This won't make a very glorious page on Konoha's chronicles. People just stood by and wached Naruto get tortured and Hinata get slaughtered. Later this should certainly reform Konoha to either a spiritually broken village or a much more morbid one (following Rain's footsteps). Unless somebody like Naruto manages to save it.
I wonder how Pain intends to beat Kyuubi, though. He certainly won't be granted five second grace periods by the demon so perhaps his eyes can do something to it.
With the beginning of the episode being as it was, there was simply no chance left for Hinata. Despite how utterly stupid it was that nobody did anything to help her, I think the premise for her demise was quite well built.
That was just a cold blooded assassination...
I liked the animation of the flashbacks, but the rest kinda dissapointed me. Especially when Pain was trying to avoid being hit by Hinata was very weird.
Naruto kinda went bat crap crazy like Gohan did. Was expected.
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!
They sure handled it way better than the manga ever did
Hinata's voice was unrecognisable at times. She sounded.. tough.
Never before have I wished more that collecting 9 Bijus would grant someone a wish. When she survived that first sickening drop, I had hope that she'd make it through - and then they brought out the impaling stick..
Goodbye Hinata /cry (they could have given you more awesome moves to show off before you went)

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
... ... I don't know why this comment made this click in my mind, but...
Point 1) They are killing off people left and right. Including popular named/major characters
Point 2) They AREN'T doing multiple episodes of build up and backstory the way they did with Jiraya and Asuma.
These two things had lead me to point three which was:
Point 3) I don't beleive the characters are really dead (which may just be the fan-boy in me)
When it was just Kakashi, I was holding out hope for 'its only a critical injury'. But with Hinata added in... However, Buffalobiian's dragonball comment made me realize the critical:
Point 4) Pain knows how to bring dead bodies back to life. Sure those we've seen are being controlled, but do those he brings back have to be controlled? Maybe not!
Which leads me to pont 5:
Point 5) Pain will bring Kakashi and Hinata back to life. I don't know why or how yet (I'm hoping for 'Naruto pounds on him until he agrees to do it'), but it will happen. (ok, that may be the fanboy in me again, but I'm gonna be hoping for it.)
Exactly. If he could bring Yahiko back to life for realreal I'm sure he would have.
I don't even think he can actually bring people back to life. Evidence seems to suggest that they bodies are just puppets. Corpses being controlled by chakra. The giant demon head seems to be able to repair the bodies if they become damaged, but doesn't actually bring them back to life.
I'm still not exactly sure which of Pains powers are from the Rinnegan at this point. It seems pretty obvious besides the shared perception thing that its also what allows him to generate the chakra waves that let him control his bodies.
Originally, I just thought that was it, and the different powers the different bodies had came from the bodies themselves. But since we now know that he just grabs a new body when one is lost and the new body gains the powers of the old one, it seems the powers of the individual bodies ALSO comes from the Rinnegan.
It's another stupid swiss army magic eye, just like the Sharingan...
I agree. But I can hope.
We still don't know why/how Yahiko ended up a pain body in the first place. Nagato was the peaceful, non-violent one, so something clearly happened to him between the time Jiraya left them and the present to provoke such a drastic change in him, something that still hasn't really been covered in the inevitable flashback/exposition. If Yahiko was involved in that something, there may be good reasons not to bring him back fully.
The rods also suppress the person they are inserted in, preventing them from acting - thus his rendering Naruto harmess (pre-bezerk 9 tail explosion) by stabbing him with them. To me that suggests that he is using them to override the bodies in order to take control, rather then just a new and improved puppet chakra string, which in turn suggests there is something there that needs to be suppressed.Those people he has brought back seem little more than remote controlled zombies. They can't even work without those rods, I believe. At least we saw the summoner woman had no sense of pain, which strongly speaks for non-complete resurrection.
That's a bunch of assumptions. First of them being that there's anything to suppress in the dead bodies. Suppressing Naruto might mean nothing else than that they interfere with his normal bodily functions, which would surely make sense even if they were nothing but remote control devices for zombie soldiers. We have seen the Pain Jiraiya captured was quite comatose when Nagato was nowhere in vicinity and did absolutely nothing after the rods were removed and Nagato arrived.
did you just say Hinata hazz ballzzz.
mwhahahahaha
From today on the rookie nine are no more. Now it's just rookie eight. And Pain being so cruel to Hinata was unexpected especially after Hinata told she loved Naruto. I mean, Nagato has Konan, whom he wouldn't want to lose, so he could've showed some mercy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
PAIN KILLED THE BOOBIES!!
HE MUST DIE!!!!
I don't really think she's dead though. She's only just been impaled and when Naruto blasts Pain to the moon here in a second there's gonna be plenty of time for someone to rush up and grab her and pull her back for the heals while they're fighting.
Tiger fists looked cool but near as I could tell didn't actually do anything.
It's not a lack of courage keeping the others back, but the fact that Naruto insisted that they don't come. Several of them have already tried to go only to be stopped.
It's like Hinata herself says, her going down there was selfishness on her own part.
And look, she was completely useless against Pain in helping Naruto. So he was right.
Unless you count the fact that she's indirectly woken the Nine-tails now, which is about to rape Pain in the face. But I don't really count that as "help".

When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
