I don't think that Karin actually died mainly because Sasuke told her not to move and we don't actually see the blade go through her. It may be that he did stab her but missed her vital areas while still getting Madara. And honestly I don't understand why most of you want Karin dead. She is a whole hell of a lot more bearable than Sakura will ever be.

It's cool that two groups worked on the chapter... I wonder if they'll keep this up.

HAHAHAHA, HIS FACE. 14-15, LOL! XD

Why must there always be more hidden eyes somewhere on that messed-up body of his? When is he finally gonna REALLY die? like REALLY. No more genjutsus. No more hidden trump cards up his sleeves.

In the future, maybe Sasuke will finally kill Sakura, and Naruto will have that face. And they'll fight to the death.

That'd be a crazy battle.

Think about this (if you have read Samurai Deeper Kyo): Samurai Deeper Kyo makes samurais that can clearly kick a ninja's ass any day of the week. Kishi makes ninjas that can kick samurais asses any day of the week. BUT... in Naru, I no Longer see any ninjas. These fights are way to loud and brash for a ninja fight. What I'm getting at is... this is getting gay. Not in the derogatory sense, in the you like watching man on man action sense.
Okay.
This manga was good around maybe 20-30 chapters ago (after the Pain fight). Now people keep pulling some stupid Jesus-miracle level attack out their ass. Some of these techniques were definitely not meant for assassination. Remember? Thats what ninjas used to do...

I dig all the hickeys on Karin's arm.

Well what you said is true. But i don't think naruto is going for the entire aspect of being a ninja; even from the start i don't it has been about that. Its more like a derivation of the word, adding elements of ninja in like shurikan and stuff, but not really relying on the actual ninja way. If you look at from the beginning ninjas don't live in towns with "regular" citizens.

I really don't think that Karin is dead...I say this because we have not seen her front (ie: you don't see the lightning pierce her body). Also, is this really how Danzou dies? He doesn't carry around 4 or 5 Uchiha hearts or something?

After reading the last few chapters, I really don't see Naruto beating Sasuke, unless he has some badass techniques that we don't know about yet.

That's pretty much what I think too. It wouldn't have mattered whether she moved or not if he didn't care where she got stabbed. BUT, if she does die, all I can say is that it's too bad for Kishimoto to have finally made her character useful and then to kill her off. Would've been nice if that could have happened much sooner.

My money is still on her not being dead, though. I'm wondering if Sasuke's whole team will defect on him now that he's given them reason to--Juugo + Suigetsu being left behind, Karin getting stabbed. I could totally see that happening, turning Sasuke into a lone wolf villain, or I could see them teaming up with Naruto against Sasuke (for revenge? to help Naruto "help" Sasuke?)

So, is Danzou actually dead... it doesn't seem like he could possibly find any way to survive this, but Kishimoto likes beating dead horses, so even if Danzou himself dies, a Danzou mini-me will undoubtedly show up. Like Danzou had a sekrit protegee that nobody knew about, and he just happens to be even more powerful than Danzou, and also a bishonen. That sort of thing.



That's pretty much what Kishimoto wants you to think. After the Pain fight, none of us thought Sasuke could possibly defeat Sage Naruto, now he's suddenly looking like a big scary villain again.

ok ima need this scenario again just diff characters. be beter if it was sasuke holding sakura and naruto just killed them both. and wtf was that ni san crap who the hell is he talking to? i just lost mad respect for sasuke not because he killed karin that was great but he seems a bit more mentally unstable than be4 o well w/e hopefully he wont be cryin about killing karin

He was "talking" to Itachi telling him that he finally killed one of the people responsible for the Uchiha massacre.


________________

Thank you lord baby jeebus that the fight is over, for the most part. I was getting tired of all their tricks I wanna get back to Naruto waking up and knowing what he has to do

Come on Naruto vs Sasuke: Round ?.....I lost count lol

ahhhhhhmen!
For whatever the reasons Sharingan battles are always the most boring epic battles in this series maybe because we stop caring whether or not the whole chapter is genjustu or not, frankly I don't watch just wait for the end.

Yeah... genjutsu should be left out of fights.
Karin obviously got stabbed through the shoulder.
Sasuke needs his free heals, as if he wasn't cheat enough already.

Actually I don't know, maybe he really did kill her. Switching to senzu beans
would be more practical because you don't have to carry around dead weight.

It kind of irks me that when Naruto and Sasuke fight, Naruto will only win because
of whatever power Itachi gave to Naruto. Sage jutsu is formidable but it has drawbacks,
unlike Sasuke's ever changing/improving moves...
