So I have this hobby, where I like to play Naruto soundtracks (from the anime) in the background while I read a manga chapter. I'm pretty bored right now, so I'm sharing it with you guys. If you all like it, I'll post a song to match each chapter every week ;]

A link to this week's chapter:


What impacted me the most in this chapter were the Minato-Obito scenes. I chose a melancholic soundtrack to follow through with the tragedy in this chapter.

A link to the song -- for slower readers:



Another link to the song -- for fast readers:



The name of the soundtrack is 'Senya' or more commonly known as 'Itachi's theme'. I'm a huge fan of the soundtracks from the Naruto anime, so don't freak out if this isn't your kind of thing :x

What motivated this particular soundtrack choice?
I didn't feel it fit the chapter too well, seeing as this is a slow track and the setup in the chapter was a bit more...
fast paced than this music. If it was the mysterious vibe you were going for, then you nailed it. As for the action panels, I was yearning for something a little more like the following:

Although, each individual has different preferences.

This kinda started from the first page of the chapter as well -- where Madara had a flashback about the young Obito, and claimed that the time for his payment had come.

Like you said, each individual has his own preferences. I looked at this chapter more from the emotional point of view than from the action.

Edit: I should have included this in the main post...

I see. I agree that it would fit nicely with the flashbacks and the dialogue exhibited throughout the confrontation among the two.

Senya makes me feel somewhat emotional. Almost nostalgic. I don't know why that is, but perhaps that was the music's whole purpose?

Oh, and also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. Playing a naruto soundtrack in the background while reading the manga, that is. It really gives the chapter more depth. :p

I'm going to have to try that myself then. Perhaps it will slow down my reading and furthermore elicit a more thorough grasp on detail.

Definitely give it a try, at the very least ^.^
