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
I wish the mods would lock the manga sections to new threads to everyone except Marik, i hate using the goddamn reader
Lol come on dude that's harsh, I'm sure Cal_Kashi's was just being helpful!
Chapter was good, but then anything involving A and Minato is automatically win.

I don't mind reading it online at all. Thanks Cal :]
Yup, helped me get the reading this out of the way. Thanks Jigga-Jack.
"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

boring chapter. and it seems like the flashback is not over yet :/
so only animus and mfauli comment on the chapter? god damn it Archie. stop deviating threads just because you don't like online viewing. many of us only have that option.
about the chapter...
WTF with Minato praising his enemy like that? Did he 'sense' he was a good guy so he didn't fight to the end or whatever? How can he easily label someone as Madara or Orochimaru as plain evil... but walk away from a battle like this?
Yeah, that scene felt extremely contrieved. Talking to deadly enemies like that, ugh.
Also, elaborating on why i think the flashback sucks: There are TWO reasons to have flashbacks. One, to flesh out popular and important characters. Two, to reveal some important plot-point. Sure, the flashback isnt over, but so far, there certainly wasnt anything of plot-relevance. And as for #1, maybe I see that wrongly, but Raikage and Killerbee are nowhere near the importance of justifying a flashback exclusively for their own fleshing out. When I get flashbacks about Narutoīs or Sasukeīs past, itīs obvious why it is relevant. When Gaara got a flashback, it was relevant, too, because he was the main villain at that time, so it had plot relevancy. When Neji got a flashback, it was relevant because he was fighting Naruto, made even more relevant due to the fact that Hinata was his friend.
Raikage and Killerbee arent relevant. Bee taught Naruto a bit, but that was so shallow that it didnt have any impact on the reader. Raikage is a hot-headed nation-leader who got pwned by Sasuke, not an interesting person at all. Or, to be more specific, both Raikage and Bee are plot-elements, rather than likeable characters. Thatīs why *I* dont care about this flashback.
Kishimonto has a problem with the timing of his flashbacks. they are always far too late for me to care.
so, other than pumping up the epic how fast Naruto is, I don't see the reason. it's been six tailed-beasts too late for me to give a shit about how jinchurinki's need heart and friendships.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
