cause of sasuke, this has taken how long?

Free Speech PSJ... People have the right to their opinion even if it sounds stupid.

But then. You have the right to flame them too.

So what am I talking here.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

[PSJ]

haha, yea and it felt good to flame this guy.

[Hybrid]

I was a bit dissappointed in Rock Lee's return, since he was owned so quickly and had to be saved by Gaara. He could have been held off for a little while,so he could come back and actually make an impact.

[Stoopider]

Thats what happens if you rush things. Well, was kinda expecting it that Rock Lee wouldn't win vs. Kimi. Too soon for that to happen.

But I have hope in Rock Lee, he'll eventually get better soon.

[Noonan]

It's a conspiracy - Rock Lee isn't allowed to win a fight that counts - didn't you know? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously though - its funny how we're all scared that this story arc could end up lame -

But at the same time the slow and seeminly boring "chuunin exam" story line exploded into the war storyline at the end.

So I'll have faith in the author for now... 5 days till 319 :x ....

i dont post too often (as you can see) but i couldnt resist myself on this one
i dont think its very fai to say this arc sucked...
we witnessed the return of rock lee and the sand ninjas...
we saw our first ... and last glimps of the new neji that respects naruto
we learned a little more about choujis personality and gained a new respect for him
we got to see shikamaru handle his first chunin misson (most likely an A rank)
there were surprizes at every turn (choujis trump card...nejis final stand...kimimaro...rock lee... the sand)
overall i cant say this was the best ... but i cant blame the sexual orientation of sasuke either ...this has been a very decent arc...although i do hope it is over now...

[Raven]

It's been a good arc indeed.

But really, it's time for more Itachi. I've loved everything so far, but c'mon. Itachi. We need answers.

[Assertn]

those of you who are complaining....answer me this...
was this the current saga when you decided to read the naruto manga?

obviously its gonna seem slow if you go through the first 3 sagas in a matter of 3 days...there's alot of action in the current saga, which is why it takes alot of pages

this is gonna be the best saga ever once it reaches anime form

[mprose]

I agree, I think this arc has definitly stretched out for a long time. Not that I don't like it, because I do- a lot. I'm just wondering about all the other things that could have happened: Like with Akatsuki, Neji & Chouji, and that sort of stuff. But I do like where it is right now.

But the werid thing for me is that I see people saying that they made the fights with the Sand-nins and Oro's crew way too short. I'm glad they did, it would have taken months if those fights were made drawn out. Gaara's and Kimi's fight was pretty awesome ( I can't wait to see that in the Anime, I expect it will be a lot more dramatic and whatnot).

But anyways, whats with all the comparisons to DBZ? It's getting a bit retarded at this point. Answer me this: In what anime has a character ever NOT gone up against foes of increasing strength and power. It seems sorta like a normal part of story telling. So why, when it happens in Naruto, the crowds start screaming DBZ?

[EpoC]

I enjoyed this arc.

Yes, you are wise beyond your years, it will be awesome. Every single episode will be a classic I'd say. That's if they're still making the anime at that time.

[orn210]

it's time for more akatsuki members i have the feeling that at least one of them is female but im not hoping

[hopeknight]

I also liked this arc, especially at the beginning, Chouji and Neji's fights were great. It's started to feel long winded lately, so I wass glad they wrapped up the battles with the Sand-nin showing up. This is going to look great animated.

[kaigan]

this arc was great. So many possible things could happen after this arc.

[Hotsuma]

This arc wasn't completely pointless. It served to bring up some amazing plot twists. Return of Rock Lee, Gaara turning good (and his siblings) and some good fights. I'm glad Neji got some more time in the spotlight. But the arc still could've been significantly better, if it didn't involve Oro. Everybody's tired of the gimp, and wants to watch Itachi, dammit.


And no, Neji isn't dead. The seal on his forehead was there when he passed out, so he's still alive. I don't know where people get the idea that he's not alive anymore.

For the record, anybody that refers to Sasuke as "Gay" is just a fucking loser, using JHS-level insults. Grow the fuck up, people.

[PSJ]

you forgot that it used chouji for something, he got a big part in this arc he havent done anything earlier. yep the "sasgay" jokes or insults or whatever you call it is not needed. not to say that i havent used it but i have stopped doing so.

[jing]

The best part was when chouji owned him, and he looked kickass.

[PSJ]

yea the frame where he stoppes jiroubous blow is the coolest so far no character can go beyond that coolness exept jiraiya maybe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

well said

[meroko01]

whats funny is you will be the ones praising it when its made into the anime

he is right .. when this arc is made into an anime it would kick ass .. in mangas fighting scenes tend to cover more pages so maybe some people think its too stretched out ... but when the animated version comes i bet you all would enjoy seeing chouji/neiji/kiba and even Shikamaru (apart from being an incredibly intelligent chuunin) beat those sound nins asses ..
