More of the same

Blah, blah, blah, go down the wrong path, talk, talk, talk.


Probably two more chapters showing fighting then I bet probably another stalemate (e.g. agree to disagree)...

This whole fight rationale feels forced and Kishimoto is not moving the story along.

I am glad that someone actually realizes how stupid this fight is sigh.................

 

[so12p]

Actually I think it really is fan service. I personally rather see Kishimoto develop and mature the story, but I recognize that there are a lot of people out there want to see the suckske chase over and over, lots want to see Sakura begging on her knees for suckske to love her, and lots want to see yet another suckske/Naruto fight.

I find it stale is all.

Sorry DBZ is else where.
Reasoning is important behind the plot and even fighting.

 

[Glad Of War]

Kishimoto is only doing this for fan service!

Still better than "I want to kill u because I want to prove that I am stronger." kinda thing.
And I find the reasons of this fight very reasonable because I can't see Sasuke cooperating with Naruto and turning non-emo all of a sudden. Him changing his character all of a sudden makes it worse actually.
So its just your opinion which is illogical imo.

I don't disagree with this. I was just hoping for more depth and progression from Kishimoto, I guess.

Actually this chapter with all its talking added a lot of depth to the fight. People are just having too big and high expectations. I see even more unreasonable fights in other mangas, and characters forgiving villains evil to the core(like freeza) but no one complains. But when it comes to Naruto people always complain. If kishi would have decided to do another arc for this fight, everyone would have said that Kishi is dragging the fight....had he decided on not doing it, everyone would have said that he forgot about the prophecy by Gamamaru. So either way he did the best he could to keep everyone happy.
That is doing the fight as soon as possible and by making Sasuke's intentions clear by devoting two chapters for talking and adding depth to the fight to some extend.
