Rarely have I ever been so horribly disappointed in a story. A long time ago I said I'd stop reading Naruto when they start blowing up cities. They did it. I kept reading because there seemed to be consequences to the act. That it would be a one-shot deal. And now this. Full-on resurrection of every person who died during the attack on Konoha. That is utterly ridiculous and stupid. People die in wars, there are consequences. Kakashi's death would've been an important story element, a method of growth. But no. It might as well have been someone waking up from a dream. Removing a villian, someone who had reason to hate Konoha (through the stupidity of others, including his parents), and making him, in one speech, decide to become a good guy and bring back the dead.

I find it all horribly insulting. This whole arc suggests one gutsy kid could convince Bin Laden to stop being a terrorist. Not going to happen.

Good-bye, Naruto. I'm through trying to defend you. You have gone from being weak, to being just stupid.

I just hope this doesn't kill the Naruto fict I've been working on. At least that one is a divergent fict that messes the time jump up really good.

People people, the last 40 chapters weren't a waste...the last 30 chapters were a waste. Those 10 chapters before Pain invaded Konoha were awesome with Killabee being badass in EVERY panel he appears in, him knocking the shit outta Hawk and tricking Akatsuki with that substitute jutsu. And then there's the introduction of Kumogakure and the Raikage, Omoi, Samui, and Karui.

But fuck, this arc went on for 8 months. 8 MONTHS. And NOTHING really happened except for some character development from Naruto (And quite possibly some character derailment from Hinata, because she was never stupid enough to just jump into a fight like that).

And now Sasuke's coming back home. I made some pic a while ago when Pain made Konoha a crater with the person going "FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU" with Sasuke's hair when he sees how Konoha is, but I can't find it now.

And what is Akatsuki gonna do now? The only members left are Madara/Tobi, Kisame (Supposedly), and Zetsu.

Yea, all the bad guys have died off...
But Sasuke and his group are now technically part of akatsuki...

They're more like "honorary" members or even allies than official members. All they got were those coats. They didn't get those rings which seem to be real important.

OMG! You better fucking find that man!
I need to have that in my signature.

If I could draw I'd do it myself. Damn I can see it now.
Sasuke ripping his hair off while looking at the crater.

True. And I thought the same thing about the rings having some power (even mistakenly believing Itachi's Amaterasu flame to have come out of the ring the very first time he used it since there was a panel centered on that damn ring).

Maybe they have some special power to control the Tailed Beasts when gathered together. I wonder if Zetsu dug up Hidan's ring... Kabuto seems to have Oro's... And Konan has two...

It would be really funny if 7 of the 9 beasts are sealed forever now that Nagato died and no one can summon his special eye freak thing!

Obviously you haven't been reading Bleach recently...

One word: LAME.
I thought only in Bleach they couldnt be killed no matter what: guess I was wrong.

screw you, kishimoto, screw you...

Second that... all that violence and anger... and what did it lead to...? "Alrite guys... sorry I destroyed your village and killed most of you. Lemme ressurect you... bye..." lol.

Because we've been reading it for so long, we want to know what happens, no matter how stupid or crap the story gets If I was to drop it now, I'd felt that I wasted my time for nothing if I wasn't gonna see it through to the end.

As far as i'm concerned, the Nagato arc was basically useless thanks to this chapter. I mean, it's like he clicked 'undo' and we're back to square 1 I guess the only thing note worthy was Naruto going 8/9 tails and Hinata opening up.

See everyone, you can solve fights by talking. There is no need for violence.
Normally, thats a good thing. However, this is a manga. Moar action!

This chapter is good reviving the village is wise for the storyline, since some characters are underdeveloped (and it'd be ridiculous of Pain to revive just some characters after his massacre, or not to kill anyone from the beginning,lol) .Now Sasuke has something to destroy, Danzou has something to rule, if he can overthrow the hokage .
Although this mass resurrection seems to be stupid for now, but it will be the base for good chapters in the future.
However, the really stupid thing is,from the beginning of this arc if Kishimoto had intended to revive everyone (by giving Nagato this technique), he could have made Pain kill off EVERYONE in the village (literally all of the leaf ninjas that can fight, including all friends of Naruto and Tsunade except Naruto and Danzou 's group) at first by giving Nagato some more awesome powers and some logical twist. This will make the situation (at that time) more desperate and less people would complain about reviving stuffs at this chapter.
And finally, DBZ ? pfft, in DBZ we have Dragon's Balls to revive people many times, but in Naruto we won't have more Nagato's Balls to revive some important characters for the second time.(well, just my guess )

Yes I also think its because we're reading naruto for so long and there is many things that need some answer, well I'm just waiting on how naruto manga is gonna end.

About on how this nagato arc gonna end is like WTF so only jiraiya and nagato died in the end press ctrl + z and wallah!

and why there is 2 naruto 449 discussion thread

This makes more sense than Bleach! Thank god Kakashi is alive. Finally some Sasuke action.

I think Kishi took some lessons from Kubo.

LOL, why i'm not surprised by this, it's defintely like Kishi to pull something out of no where to revive all the people who got owned in the Leaf. But was this really a good idea? I mean wouldn't it be more interesting to see what would happen if everyone was really dead? Well, i think it would, but i'm not going to hate on Kishi for this because this revive life thing has been done in Naruto before.

Whatever, i think we should all take this with a grain of salt.
