You know it's gonna be at least a chapter of flashback for a character to die, right?


Those kinds of flashbacks are the best.

Time to flash back to when they were teenagers, since Guy was there from time to time. Might as well repeat the Obito flashback too, while they're there. Then at the end they can show Neji giving a thumbs-up.

And actually, I'm starting to get annoyed by Orochimaru, he's been sooo talkative lately. Every time he's around for anything, he just spells out everything that happens or has happened, in case someone wasn't paying attention. It's frustrating, wasting precious panel space, when I already know all the shit he's talking about.

Liked him better as a bad guy. Hope he gets killed.

You have to remember this manga is directed to children so dont get mad when your upset that a child's manga is too explanatory.

I don't remember that being said anywhere, the series has had its moments, I know it's better than that. Besides, the whole "directed at children" thing is only ever an excuse. I was able to enjoy things that went over my head as a kid, and it made me curious to learn about things I didn't know. I hate that excuse, it gives stuff like this a pass for no reason. But I digress. Either way, he still talks too damn much.

Hasn't he always talked a lot? Wasn't his mantra "I'll tell you what I'm going to do because I'm so bad ass you can't hope to stop me anyway"?

But he was a BAD GUY then. Now he's just talking about annoying shit, like hey Kabuto, your chakra is so different because it takes from all these different sources, you seem like a different person, but OH WAIT, since you're here, you must have escaped from the infinite loop of Itachi's Izanami jutsu, rite? RITE?

None of that was necessary, could have been summed up in 1 line and been something you might actually think he would say. Instead he just busts out this retarded monologue, I guess because he thinks the manga is based on him or something. It's probably just because Kishi wants to take up space so he can drag things out, like how the 2nd Hokage got like half a page - and of course a long-winded line from Orochimaru - for literally no reason.

Of course Gai is gonna be awesome and lose tho, I hope it's as epic as Lee vs Gaara. Best fight in the series imo.

ya, I agree. It's not impressive because of that.

I was under the impression it was supposed to be greater than that of a kage. With the minor side effect of death.

like 90% of the posts in this thread is people complaining about how something doesnt make sense and your complaining that things are getting explained too in depth?

if it wasnt for those explanation thered be like 10000 posts about "ermagod how did Karin not reconize him" or "how is he not in the superhaxgenjutsu"

I don't know, I was thinking a 12-16ish male population would be old enough to understand those kind of things.

Kishi is not really aging the manga with its original audience. The 12 year olds who grew up on Naruto are no longer 12 years old. I believe there are some authors in Japan who age their work accordingly - maybe not exactly linearly.

doesnt really work that way, because then someone finds the volumes starts reading it then it changes dramatically by the time there done

it makes more sense to keep the manga consistant then try to change it to compensate for the fanbase thats unlikely to ever stop reading it no matter waht

I didn't say he should say nothing, and leave everyone to their own devices to figure stuff out, just the extent to which he explains things is over the top, and entirely unnatural for something someone would actually say. He could've gotten the point across with half as many words probably, and it would have been smoother narrative-wise. Dropping hints in a natural way is usually more effective than outright explaining things in a way nobody really does. This isn't a demographic thing, anyone can enjoy good storytelling, and I didn't think this stuff was particularly complicated anyway.

What I find weird is how she didn't recognize the chakra and think wtf. Doesn't Kabuto have cells/chakra from suigetsu, jugo, and karin herself? As well as Orochimaru? This is something that could have been explained, because how chakra combinations work is a bit wonky. Is it mixed together to the point where you can't discern its components?

TenTen will probably save them somehow with one of those mystic ninja tools, effectively putting her in the medic ninja status all of the Konoha Kunoichi seem to be stuck on.

ya, I agree. It's not impressive because of that.

the quote from the manga says "suprasses the hokage" not "similar to the hokage", and dont forget that at that time Hokages were described as OP as hell lol.

Theres also an elaborated explanation regarding the gates, figured it might be interesting to read it again with the up and coming chapter getting closer: + Show Spoiler +

apparently the death gate is in your heart, so thats why you die when releasing it. its a nice small detail i personally forgot.
