Okay ill say this only once. I was going to ignore you guys but seriously, I just cant take the stupidity anymore. Jiraiya is not coming back! I know you want him back, so do I. I cried when he died (why do they kill off my fav characters all the time? and Oda is just as guilty! poor Ace!) and wrote a long and pointless fan fiction in which his death was actually faked so he could go off and flirt with girls forever. But Kishi himself wont bring back Jiraiya. Kabuto said Jiraiya was deep in the ocean in a spot where the pressure is too dangerous for humans. We knew that from watching him sink in the water, smiling. Chief toad is not off getting Jiraiya. Toads cant handle saltwater. And anyway, Jiraiya's role is done. Tsunade may still be alive, because Naruto is too young to be hokage yet, kakashi has no interest in being hokage, kiba is not an option, and sasuke just got done dealing with the mountain of issues he's been carrying around since his family was killed. Orochimaru only came back to help sasuke find his path and apparently save the kages, meaning his role will be finished soon too. I can see a Naruto vs Sasuke fight (no death match please, Kishi) but not an old sannin vs new sannin fight. I have my reasons, but there too complicated to try to explain.
Now about the ten tails. Its not the real ten tails remember? It only has a little of the eight and nine tails chakras, meaning its not as powerful as it was when it faced rikudou sennin. Its also been fighting for HOW many chapters? It may sound a little stupid, even to me, but even immeasurable chakra must deplete when its facing sasuke and naruto combo, four hokage, and the allied shinobi alliance. For some reason, I agree with another who posted a while back that the ten tails was going to assume its true form. I know that to do that, it would need to devour bee and naruto, but I can still see it happening, but without killing either jinchuuriki.
Sasuke change of heart is suspicious, but I don't think he's plotting something evil. Sasuke is a selfish traitor, but no one can really blame him after all the hell he went through. Kids cant take that kind of horror and not get scarred. But despite all that he's done, I don't think he's a liar. In part one, he broke every promise he ever made to sakura and naruto so he could chase after revenge, but even then he wasn't lying, he was just desperate and jealous. So he's not lying, his change is genuine. If it weren't, Naruto would know because he can sense evil intent. Ill admit Naruto's far too trusting, and anyone out there who thinks hes too happy that sasukes back to pay attention, you have a point, but I don't think he's oblivious to sasuke enough to overlook a suspicious, evil hidden desire. Their competing with each other, even now, and he's fully aware of his partner and rival.
Now Sakura. Take it easy on her. In shonen manga, if you haven't noticed, the girls are ususally weaker than the boys. But despite that, she still managed to summon Katsuyu. We know from part one that naruto needed to tap into kyuubi chakra to summon chief toad, so she obviously used a lot of chakra doing that. In fact, given her epic chakra control, she might have been able to do it much earlier if not for the fact that her levels of chakra are miniscule compared to naruto and sasukes. On top of that, she isn't as weak as everyone says she is. She's like kaoru from kenshin. Strong, but weak compared to the boys, as is typical of shonen manga (not that I hate shonen for it, I actually prefer it over most of the shojo my friends read). I mean, her medical skills, her "monster strength", her intelligent mind. She's probably the top of the pack in the kunoichi of her generation, even if she wasn't in part one. So three cheers for Sakura, being able to use tsunades jutsu and stand together with Naruto and Sasuke (even if she wasn't part of their combo).
I liked this chapter, and I was expecting everyone to be mad since it was mostly battle. But the Orochimaru appearance and the sasuke naruto combo definitely won it some points. Im counting the days to the next chapter. hopefully well see either kakashi vs obito or hokages. maybe even naruhina awesomeness. :ls:
