significant plot twists that turn out pointless

The Hokage's sacrifice was more than just to a way to introduce Tsunade, he was old anyways, and the fight with Oro gave him a purposeful death. He died for the village just as the 4th had. Taking the arms was the best he could do, but if Oro got his arms back now, then I could consider it a lame sacrifice.

I want to bring up a new one....

chapter 201 - page 08

Kimmimaro saying 'The reason I've yet to kill you is....' and then the wispering... which is not elaborated on. My ears perked up when I noticed him say this... but then nothing ever happened.

Tayuya is startled by what kimmimaro said... so I doubt the wisper was the next bubbles text (you still have a mission to accomplish by staying alive - not very startling)





The Oro arm thing also introduced Tsunada as a medical ninja which gave her a reason to be in the story.

well yeah, i wouldnt have even brought that up if he could never get his arms back.....but it seems like he can now.....which is why it'd be kinda pointless to me

Shin_naruto, didnt he end that sentence by saying that she still has a mission to accomplish? (aka. taking care of the genins)

if you read the second part of my post...

'Tayuya is startled by what kimmimaro said... so I doubt the wisper was the next bubbles text

'you still have a mission to accomplish by staying alive'



hardly something for Tayuya to be startled with...
thats my thoughts at least...

not necessarily......that sounds to me like another way of saying "if you fail this, then you're dead"
