you have the same color scheme in the avatar, a black and white character that I skimm through, it's possible to confuse you two.

anyway, I agree, the necklace had meaning when it was introduced, because it was Tsuande's 'good' bet. Tsuande put her trust in Naruto's words that he'll become the hokage, and he lived through the following battle. restoring her faith in the power of love and leaf. (order of things might be slightly different from how it happened, I don't remember whether she gave him the necklace before or after she revived him from Kabuto's hits).

then, it was revealed that Yamato (or tensai, whatever name he goes by?) through the magical power of the 1st hokage, can control (negate) the kyuubi through it. which would have been interesting, if Yamato wasn't removed from the story (along with Sai) right away. and now there's the senjou\uchiha whatever blood, which somehow looks like everyone and their mother can control the kyuubi.

Yes. that was the point I was pushing when shit went down, especially Chouji. he did his part, having him survive just undermined the point of what he did. just like the entire dragonballPaynewish made the arc seem lame. I can't see Lee getting any real progress as a fighting ninja, despite the fact he'll be in every single naruto game from now until forever.
but that's a different point.

also, welcome, Kohaku.
