i think they didn't want to attack in the night because Shikamaru would have limited use of his techniques (i could be wrong, but i think i heard him say that)... also some other reasons like darkness might hinder their success rate...


anyways i decided to pick up the manga again (since the anime just caught up to were i left off originally)....

All the battles in the middle I have to say that they are crap... Shika's and Kiba's fights are the crappiest battles in all of Naruto... and add to that long as hell...

Kimi didn't look as badass as I expected him to be... he could've done better...

the Sasuke background chapters... long and boring also...

Now... that Naruto vs Sasuke fight was simply nothing less than excellent... everything was excuted very well... and Sasuke winning in the end was the best choice the author could've made...

I'm on chapter 239 at the moment.. i'll catch you guys in a bit...
