Hrm thoughts on this entire leveling up etc...


Well... we have seen throughout the manga that both sasuke and naruto, and for that matter the rest of the Genin's are constantly training.

We are just being shown the "breakthrough" moments of these events. Would ya rather have seen another chapters of chakra modling like when Naruto was dealing with the Rasengan. Yay training.
As much as I love seeing Lee kick a tree... it gets boring after the 50th time.

Suffice it to say I really enjoyed this chapter. I like seeing the characters grow and mature. I don't need to see every step of how they got to it... seeing the end results is just fine at times.
