Wait, They Don't Love You Like I Love You

Oh, Naruto, do you know how lame it sounds to have a flashback and then repeat exactly what the flashback just said? Because... it's super lame.

...and now we have more Naruto-pegging.... *can't think of a way to make it more pervy than it is*

FUCK YES HINATA!

Oh, so now love is to blame for war? Get pegged, Pain. How about whiny little brats who don't have enough inner strength to stop the cycle? How about them? Stop blaming other people for the fact that YOU'RE acting like the ninjas who killed your parents. YOU.

Also, whoever on my flist called Nagato's parents being Konoha ninjas... you called it.

Hinata's latest crowning movement of awesome is awesome.

Thoughts: I kinda hope Hinata is dead, because if not, this could lead to a Hinata/Naruto ending, which while awesome for Hinata (and I want her to get everything she wants), would also probably mean a Sasuke/Sakura ending, which would suck.

You know, this is when I wish SO HARD that Kishimoto had let Sakura learn the jutsu to calm the Nine-Tails. Although maybe we'll have a repeat of her running towards him, and maybe this time we'll get a successful beauty tames the best?

Itachi and Atasuki is actually one of the reasons I'm really excited about doing a reread of Naruto - because I think a.) being able to tell who's talking in all those Sasuke and Itachi conversations and b.) paying attention when Atasuki is around will help a lot.

I would argue that since Sasuke's conversation with Madara, chapter 416, is actually PRE-Hachibi fight (or at least it must be, based on the time frame), and then during the Hachibi fight, we actually get a mini-Team 7 flashback before Sasuke fights to save his team, who just fought to save him--I would argue that it's mot necessarily bad storytelling so much as misleading storytelling.

Except that AFTER that team 7 flashback and saving his current team, he thinks, to himself, 'I have a power strong enough to destroy Konoha.'

I'm sure Kishimoto is TRYING to be misleading, but he's doing it by breaking faith with the audience, which is bad storytelling, in my book.
