Ok, Naruto's pacing for this chapter was quite horrible, but in the end, the horrible pacing was worth it wasn't it?
To see Sasuke growing bosums?
We finally get to see Sasuke not hiding in a shadow. Pretty exciting chapter really. If anyone has noticed, Sasuke's clothes resemble Kimimaro's clothes. Could this represent something? Has Orochimaru still not have forgot Kimimaro?
I hated Kimmaro.
And what's that item that Sasuke has on his back? This chapter should lead into tons more decent chapters.
Something to take more chapters fighting with?
Hopefully, things should get A LOT more emotional between the characters, especially between the former Team 7 members. I do wish for another Sasuke vs. Naruto fight, but not really a fight, but more of a Naruto saying "Sasuke you bastard!!!!!111eleventwoseven!!!" And then some sort of emotional fight.
Wow. Exciting.
Like we didn't get enough of that during the Super Saiyen fight.
The minor characters were quite interesting. Team Gai has got its turn to help with a mission with Team 7 and so has Suna after the timeskip. Hopefully, Team 8 and Team 10 will earn its turn sooner or later. However, although minor characters do make of a good percent of the plot, they soon will fade away sooner or later. Minor characters from shounen anime such as Samurai Champloo, Hunter x Hunter, and even One Piece that may seem interesting have already faded away completely.
Whoa whoa, whats Champloo doing in there?
Anyway….One Piece manges to give its characters alot of time even wih like 8 people in the main cast.
At least we get to see some minor characters again. However, there is one problem. Kakashi, who is a major character in the beginning of the series, started to fade away during the time of the Sasuke Retrieval arc. He made a bigger reappearance in the Akatsuki Post-timeskip arc, but now, he is disappearing slowly. Hopefully, he will still be in Naruto.
Bulgey is growing on me.
Just to say, I bet the reason why many people like Naruto so much was because of the anime and its potential of becoming an incredible anime. I say it's a decent anime now, probably on par with Bleach and One Piece (and I have my reasons), but now as good as animes/mangas like Full Metal Alchemist. If you see the anime, the music, in my opinion, is quite incredible
I've never…..even watched the anime....
