I have mixed feelings about this chapter. It was great to not see Naruto hogging the spotlight for a change and it was interesting how Gaara used gold dust along with hs sand. But just the fact that Naruto interferred with Temari's fight and not Gaara's seems incredibly sexist! I guess Kishimoto just couldn't BARE the thought of a high-level ninja losing to a female. It just depresses me. I really hope she gets to fight an opponent on her level and win. She's easily one of the strongest females and it would be an insult to her character if she didn't.
Also, now Gaara's going to become more overrated than ever! (Not that I hate him or anything, but he's getting a little too much admiration and I feel there are characters that are much more deserving).
Hello after months following this site your post made me make a account. In Holland i can't wacht the show on TV so this site helpt me alot

. I agree with you with the sexual thing for one reason. Why was Temari in the Leave when Deidera took on Gaara? I think she would kick his a@s she is a perfect match for him. With wind she could attack and defence at the same time, his birds and c4 would have been useless and Gaara wouldn't have to fight him. Kishi kept her away on purpose. I love Temari ( remeninds me of my ex girlfriend almost the same name and look ) and Gaara is my favorite. What i dont agree with you is the fact that Gaara is the weakest character, al you need is waterstyle to defeat him, Zabuza could take him with easy. He seems really strong because he defeated his father muu and mizukage with his mind and sand. His new jutsu is nothing more than a new form of his sand, a triangle. He have no new moves or weapons like Naruto Kankuro Saskue or Choi. Besides that all women are weaklings they never won a fight and Tsunade is the weakest hokage ever:flaw:
I dont know if some one said it before but the manga reads like we are moving into the future true the rearview, but now Naruto will bring peace to the ninja world every single person wil admire him and be his friend, he will be a legend because he fought everywhere and can take an entire nation with his clones.
