A very predictable, but necessary chapter...

I hope Naruto hasn't turned completely into a pansy pacifist. It's about time for him to kick some ass, and show those Kumo shinobi who they are messing with.

Oh and someone please kill Sasuke already! Anyone!
There won't be such a good opportunity again.

These Naruto chapters feel shorter each week. And the anime is really, really dragging everything out. As if it's not enough that the animation is the lowest quality out of everything these days.

Edit: Is it just me or was Naruto more coherent in this chapter. What he actually told Raikage about everyone getting consumed into revenge actually made sense. Same concept as before but said in a better way.

I'm more interested in the samurais. Samurais weren't even mentioned before and now they showed up. Kinda late but oh well. I wanna see samurais in action and hopefully kill sasuke?

I liked this chapter.

Ah, Naruto, always trying to solve everything with words. But that's what I like (but sometimes get annoyed) about his character.

We need more Madara action!

and! I want to see how Sasuke will ruin this meeting. I hope it won't be like a Naruto & Nagato thing. We need more action, less talk.

He definitely was a lot more eloquent than he usually is. I was actually proud of him for a split-second there for acknowledging the fact Sasuke's gone off the deep end--I think it's the first time he's ever done that, instead of always acting naive about it. But then Kishimoto had to go and ruin it all by having him burst into tears in front of the Raikage. Why? Why must this manga perpetually humiliate it's already pathetic lead character?

At any rate, the fact that Naruto still likes Sakura: confirmed. Love triangle ON! (But seriously, I am no fan of Hinata. Even if it's Sakura, I'll take it. Anything so that Naruto doesn't end up with meek, pupil-less children. <-- An unpopular opinion, I know.)

Sasuke gets more and more unlikeable with each chapter he's in, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I'm really, really starting to worry that rather than bringing him back sooner, so we can all get on with our lives, that the series endgame will be the defeat of Sasuke. But how much more of Naruto's chasing after Sasuke can we all take?

awww naruto dont cry anymore.

I am concerned in the fact that this is starting to look an awful lot like a Naruto Fan fic I read a couple of months ago...

It seems we are on the same wavelength here.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

SHeT i think the author forgot about naruto and hinata chapter

man i been w8ting 4 the chapter for the 2 of them! then sai asking

naruto if he likes sakura!

I am guessing that if Sakura shows enough interest in Naruto (where he actually notices), then all of a sudden, he will remember Hinata's confession. I still think that this will take a while, since Hinata is only allowed to show up once every 50 to 100 chapters.

Also, what happened to that "believe it" attitude of Naruto's? He has been crying way too much these past few chapters.

Maybe Naruto will end up fighting Sasuke anyways.
I know he's about to do something drastic.

Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” "

Well, I'm glad that Naruto knows Sasuke's a loon, but I agree that him crying does lower his badass status by a ton.

And I kinda hoped that the Kage meeting would've started in this one, but I guess we'll have to wait ANOTHER week for it to begin.

________________

Agreed. How long can it be dragged out for?!

Naruto's been crying a lot recently. I want to see more action. It's been a lot of talking since the Pain ark.

Maybe Kishi has been taking lessons from Kubo on how to drag out a series...

Whats all that about revenge? Who's gonna avenge sasuke if he dies? NOBODY! Not even naruto himself, cos he's now anti-vengeance. I mean, the guy is a freakin fugitive for cryin out loud. Its about time someone told naruto the crying pansey where to get off. Raikage is badass! XD

Sasuke doesn't deserve your tears Naruto! The guy is a massive emo idiot! I was begining to wonder whatever happened to the Naruto liking Sakura because after all those gay scenes this and Hinata's confession finally comes out. Well I can see this happening. Even Sakura deserves Naruto more than Sasuke does
