that was a pretty sick chapter. Like everyone said, liked the back story, it made the previous chapter make a little more sense (I was kinda confused, even after reading it a few times). Yeah Chouji's a softy, but like his father and Asuma told him, he's the strongest of the three because of his love for his friends. Kishimoto is really a good writer, his plot mechanics and the way he ties things together when they seem like loose ends is magnificent, mad props. And i don't know if any of you guys have had a Sensei or Sifu, but when you give them that much love and respect, its hard to see them hurt, especially at your hands. Like a wise man once told me, you can't serve two masters.
Hanzou and Mifune have earned my respect in the last two chapters....Hanzou only appeared weak because he went up against ppl immune to poison and Mifune can stop ppl from using ninjutsu.....you can have the best ninjutsu in the world but if you can't use it then it doesn't make a difference
5 star rating this week for both anime and manga. i was glad to see that same noble act done by hanzou, he gave mifune a second chance at life because he wasnt like the other selfish shinobi. he fought to protect his comrades and even though he failed hanzou saw that noble and honourable selfless ness that mifune had done. im glad that hanzou fought kabuto's control and gave in to mifune to end his edo tensei. im still glad that pain was the one to ultimatley kill hanzou, he did deserve to die after what he did to the original akatsuki that was only seeking peace. choji couldnt make that hard decision to attack his sensei, i wonder if the killing of the main shinobi will start with him?
hopefully someone else steps in to deal with asuma, it would really suck if he just simply was defeated by constant shadow pull jutsu's and someone keep hitting him while he cant move. where was kakuzu in this week's chapter? im still disappointed by no mention of sasuke or more info on kakuzu plan's... im really hopeing to see him get hidan, it would be really lame if the enitre war was just edo tensei vs shinobi. i hope that kishi makes up a new group of enemies that are really strong that are not edo tensei, it will make more interesting to draw out the story some more and make a new enemy emerge to crush alot of the shinobi... they need to have real casualties but not really any are happening besides no-named shinobi.
glad to know kishi is alright and still making the manga, great job this week and hopefully to many weeks to come.
(please give us an update on sasuke soon, im getting very impatient)
yo dude! keep the faith alive! did you know that "patience is a virtue"?
Naruto and sasuke's friendship is the one to surpass this faith discussion of mifune and hanzo...personal opinion only...
chouji is typical 'adolescence' weakness'. like before, chouji will show us how he outgrows this teen immaturity. i am for the triumvirate to stop asuma...even kabuto twitches asuma's will - it will be even easier if kabuto does so...
kakuzu will be ended by the tandem powers + darui. we will see some more from darui - the general. it will be more of a treat to anticipate what the other kakuzu's hearts can do against the shinobi.
...i guess we will see more of the edos...there are no other allies there for madara and kabuto...as we all know.
be patient dude...sasuke's appearance will be something to behold. build up with your expectations...we will witness epic sasuke features later on...
this is just a thought please comment or explain to me about his if anyone can...
how come its taking so long for us to see sasuke with his new eyes? all he did was swapout his eyes with kakashi but he's been in the left out for so long, i know people will say its because it takes time to have the eyes adjust... but if we all remember kakashi swapped his eye out with obito's sharingan and ended up using it immediatly to defeat some rock ninja who caused the cave to collapse on obito... why did kishi do that for kakashi but then change his methods for sasuke? was it simply a mistake that he made for sasuke or was it a mistake made on kakashi? please if anyone can explain this to me reply to this message. and please dont simply reply with the intention of trying to flame me, im just wondering why each thing has happened so differently.
...patience dude..here are my explanations...hope you would accept them...
1. kakashi's sharingan was a gift. it is similar to sasuke's eyes as he was born with them. kakashi's gaiden as a filler will have to be hurried with such a hurried minato exposure. we could have loved a longer arc filler...just that this is manga world dude...limitations are there...the play of imagination is given to us...and to how we learn from these imaginative powers we have...how we subjectively read, re-read and read some more...keep on learning and don't stop - Naruto will yell "don't ever give up"...this is my reader's way -- again, personally. we can do it dude.
2. am being impatient too, i crave for Naruto's progress in training...but i get just a little...but just enough for my own plot. i control my own plot and change it whenever i want to...respecting other readers' commentaries...
3. kakashi and sasuke could not be treated the same. sasuke is more powerful...his powers need to be built up...much much anticipation is demanded from readers. this is the only way he could catch up with the main character - Naruto. the way kakashi used obito's sharingan and the way he obtained the MS, is far and incomparable to sasuke's first usage of his own sharingan when he copied rock lee's taijutsu. then more spectacular was his MS awakening upon his fight with bee...(not sure of this claim though...you could correct me. but i hope you get the gist...)
a great 5/5 chap! "faith" thing rocks! mifune and hanzo faith discussion is second to Naruto's 'tebayo!' so far...

k thanks for the explanations, i guess it makes perfect sense now that i think about it. its just im more impatient with each chapter that comes out because i think about like all the naruto fans get a update , but all the sasuke fans like me have to wait even longer for sasuke's progress.... the annoying thing is that when we see sasuke again i bet he will have his normal sharingan constantly activated and will have to activate his ems activated much later which will disappoint me alot. its really badass how the anime is going, i cant wait to see it catch up to the war. but more importantly i would like to see atleast 2-3 page update on sasuke when the time comes, with atleast knowledge on what he will be doing when we next see him ie. killing an army group, or attacking the feudal lords.
I think this whole year is going to be about the war. We will see Naruto and Sasuke but in limited action. Majority of the war will be spend showing fights of the other guys. Its going to be quite some time before we see the big guns going against each other that is Madara, Sasuke, Naruto and Kabuto.
i hope after asuma and ino shika cho they do kimmimaru and maybe like rock lee to fight again. I liked him. or at least go back to another one of the bigger battles like kakashi or gaara or even see how naruto is going
