The Good
- MokuJoukies: Kishimoto payed homage to our favorite Trollkage by giving the Juubi Imps a Joukie Boy like appearance (well..some of them).
- Naruto and Sasuke team up. I figured this was a given, but someone decides it needed to be stated
- Sakura finally got a power up.
- Shino absolutely shit on Kiba.
- Hashirama's subtle trolling of Madara: Here...fight my clone
.
- Rookie 9 standing tall....meaning they will actually be of use instead of being tossed aside (like say...most of Part II).
- Tobirama made an appearance in this chapter....and was completely chill while others were nervous.
- Mifune makes an appearance this chapter.
- The chapter ending gives us a indication that we will see what has become of the Kage.
- Kakashi did not try any Talk no Jutsu this chapter.
The Bad
- No Lee.
- No Tenten.
- No Sai....not to mention he was excommunicated from Team 7.
- Kiba's face is missing his Inazuka Markings...just to further insult him.
- Hinata back to being fidgity with her voice (though plausibly because she was attempting to 1) Calm Kiba down, 2) Be nice to Kiba, 3) Encourage Kiba, 4) Do so in a way that doesn't put make her appear to favorite him as Hokage above Naruto.
The Ugly
- Absolutely NO forshadowing or hinting of Sakura's powerup until the chapter before.
- The excuse for this random power up is generic: "Oh...had to charge it....for three years."
- I was able to come up with a completely simple forshadow within seconds of seeing what it was and the excuse:....During Pain's invasion when Naruto is pinned to the ground. and the Hyuga lets her know.....all Sakura has to say is, "Damn...if only I had more stored chakra...." and we instantly have a validation for this power up appearing. Even if I still don't like the convienient time excuse.
The Result: Good
While "Ugly" part was absolutely aggrivating, I don't consider it to make this a bad chapter....we know Kishi is rushing this series now, and we just have to roll with some of his punches. Whirling and Enduring?!
Despite a good number of "Bad" things...they are mostly minor things that were dissapointing to me personally. Lee, Tenten, and Sai will show up again I'm sure.
Let's not hate, but appreciate that Kishimoto is still providing us with Naruto Manga...and on top of that it is manga that we get for free...because we be Pirates (haha...One Piece)
Have a nice day, evening, morning, or night Narutobase
