I have notice that this forum doesn't have a Naruto thread. ok lets get right into it then.
The last few chapters had Kisame dying a manly death fitting of a badass. The man lived his ninja way until the end and still accomplished his goal of getting the information back. You will be missed Kisame.:cwy:
During the fight between Gai and Kisame, Gai stomped him, but they seemed to be some confusion on how Gai technique wasn't chakra.

"First, when the caster uses Taijutsu the control of the stamina is very simple. There is no need for any hand poses nor is there any need for CHAKRA (although there are some exceptions). Only the stamina naturally needed for that particular martial art skill is consumed."
Unless you're performing a special taijutsu move there is no need to use any chakra what so ever. Now that doesn't mean that Morning Peacock or Afternoon Tiger don't require chakra to execute, but their results are not chakra based. Morning Peacocks attacks are so fast that the air lights up, and Afternoon Tiger creates a shockwave because of the precision and speed of the attack. In both cases the body seems to be using the chakra to increase the users physical attributes, not attack damage, which would be susceptible to absorption.
Konan vs Madara/Tobi/whoever will be next.
