If they did the older style of like... several chapters for a single fight though, this would take years to be over with. There are going to be dozens of these fights probably before some of the bigger names/characters even get involved.

I don't know, maybe its just because I've never really be as into Naruto as I have been other mangas or animes, but I don't have a problem with this being over sometime this year. I also think that having long drawn-out battles and spending too much time re-establishing motivations of characters who are already developed, and no longer have motivations would be somewhat stupid, and probably ruin the pacing of the story.

I hate it when a billion new characters appear out of no where in a few chapters.

it feels like the bad guys are hyped up so much and then all they end up doing is dying w/o really accomplishing anything. if they're so awesome how is naruto's entire ninja class still alive? they have a guy that can't even use ninjutsu for crying out loud.

Okay, so Zabuza and Haku : lame, whole chapter about them : even more lame. Kakashi : badass. Who's that invisible man?

The second Tsuchikage? Lol.

I didn't think the chapter was THAT bad. It could have been a lot worse, lol.

Kakashi being pissed is very promising but it is also a bit.. atypical. Idk if I like this change,

I think the most redeeming part of the chapter was when Naruto and Kakashi established that you can still like your enemies. I felt that made Kakashi's slaying of Zabuza a lot more interesting and more heartfelt.

I'm liking this arc to be honest. I just like it, no complaints about anything really. The thing is though- They hyped up the resurrection move so much, but just sealing the bodies stops it...a bit anticlimactic to me.

I like this arc because we're one step closer to the end. Naruto needs to end lol. Its been way too long. This arc needs to end and we need a jump to a few years in a time of peace where Sasuke comes back and they have their last fight.

Think it has to do with Kakashi's sharingan. Found a weakness into the whole technique. I think the byakugan will be able to see the seal too.

heh everything is a bit overhyped lately. but they did seem to mention in a panel that if that tag is broke they are free again... if they mention that two or three more times that will be overhyped as well, and wont happen =/

Moving along a bit slowly. Lots of strategy. And now with more summoning!

Since the seven swordsman were not enough we're now including all the previous kages and bunch of other important dead characters!

It should be more than at least fifty chapters to just kill half the people if they keep moving at this pace, unless the story explains some kind of way to nullify the resurrection and voila they are all dead.

lol, so basically their strategy is to shift their forces around and hope the enemy just sits there and takes it? Yeah, that's totally gonna work.

Who the heck are these feudal lords?

Weak, important figureheads that Akatsuki will somehow use to blackmail(?)?
