Rock Lee? Master of the Drunken Fist?

That. Is. So. Awesome.

And Gaara rescues him! Win!

Also, Temari totally pwning that chick when Shikamaru is like, 'yeah, let's get out of here' was totally, totally awesome. I've been waiting for that scene for a long, long time.

And I have to say, while I know it is a staple of shounan manga, I am so. fucking. sick. of the fight fight, 'they're stronger than I thought, I must level up' fight fight, 'they're stronger than I thought, I must level up' fight fight, they're stronger than I thought, I must level up' fight fight, lather, rinse and repeat for every. single. character over and over and over again.

I mean, Christ, if I was one of these characters, I would just damn well use my most powerful attack and either a.) decimate the fucker or b.) not, and have to get creative.

("Isn't that overkill?" "I think that's just enough kill."

I have no words for how amazing that boy is.

Yeah, he really, really is.

I think that's a lot of it, that both Naruto and Lee treated Gaara differently, and it pays off.

*nods* And would you mind refreshing my memory: The sand sibs weren't into betraying Konaha, but did because of orders, and then during the fight, Naruto beat Gaara and told him that he did it because of his precious people, right? And that made a huge impression on Gaara?

(I've been reading so much that I don't always remember it the best.)

I'm also really curious as to your thoughts on the villans-- I'm very fond of Kabuto, mostly because he reminds me of Ni Jyeni, and that type fascinates me.

You mean, the walking plot devices? I have to admit, I don't really care about them much now, but I am starting to... not like, but really understand where Sasuke is coming from. His choices are horrific, but I know why he's making them.

Also, did you get my message about coming to visit?
