Wow 22 pages already, and I thought this weeks chapter was quite boring compared to the previous weeks.

Why did you find it boring?

To much drama and not enough action?

[Gravenimage]

I agreed with you

Karin is a good source of info but she's also have medical ability.

I wonder about Suigetsu and Juugo. As far as we know, they are where Sasuke have left them, capture and taking prisoner who know were.

Suigetsu and Juugo are probably being interrogated and after that they will execute them. Remember they were part of Sasuke's group and infiltrated the kage meeting with the intention to assassinate somehow who was representing the Hokage so its consider a serious crime.

I know they where with Sasuke in the Kage summit. However, beside seeing them capture, we didn't heard from them after that. We probably will heard from them but maybe we won't.

Beside, that not really important right now.

I forgot to mention how I found touching the scene when both Sakura and Karin cry. At first, I hated Karin ( fangirl mode is not my cup of tea) but seeing her sharing Sakura's pain change my opinion over her. Who know, maybe Karin could become Sakura's friend and new confident...I mean, Shikamaru will be Naruto's confident.

Anyway, that was random talking. I think that Karin will have a great value for the future development ( I hope)

I believe Karin will be crucial to further N/S development.

As the saying goes 'You shouldn't beat a dead horse' We've seen and heard multiple times that Sasuke has fallen from grace and is no longer the Sasuke everyone knew, yet that point needed to be brought up again once more His actions speak louder than words, Kishi really didn't need to bring it up.

We knew Sakura would not be able to finish off Sasuke, yet that part needed to be reiterated.

Drama isn't as effective when you you keep on repeating youself, I'm happy there wasn't much action going on, as i'm tired of seeing Sasuke Vs fill blanks, the less panels Sasuke gets the better as far as i'm concerned.

The parts I found interesting were Naruto's flashback scenes and wondering what he'll do once he sees Sasuke and the fact he was no longer in Sage Mode. Oh and the speed at which Sasuke is going blind, appears to be more rapid than with Itachi.

The couple of weeks post Danzou's battle have been much better than this weeks chapter, even in Kishi used such a cliche storyline.

Looks like we got a new thread record.

I cant wait to see how will talk after the save and sasuke gone.

Interesting

It true that we see many time that Sasuke wasn't the Sasuke from the beginning. However, it was essential to see that again for Kakashi but mostly for Sakura and Naruto.

They have heard it but they didn't believe it. Now, Sakura have see the change however, I think that she wasn't ready to accept the fact that the Sasuke she loved is gone and that why she couldn't kill him.

As for Naruto, We can see that he's starting to have a second thought about Sasuke. Itachi, Gaara, the Raikage...the three did gave him information/advise/ultimatum that made him doubt about Sasuke. So far, when it was Sasuke, it was always ' I'll save him, no matter what' now it 'I'll know the answer when I see him' which could prove that Naruto is starting to realize that he might have to take difficult decision to save Sasuke ( which mean that he will probably have to consider the possibility of killing Sasuke). Those flashback are really important because of that. Since he witness Sasuke almost killing Sakura, this will help him processing the fact that Sasuke have fallen very deap in his own darkness.

This chapter and the next are two major chapter because we will probably see Naruto changing his plan concerning Sasuke.

Of course, you have the right to dislike it but I think that this chapter is the start of a new Naruto storyline.

Looks like we got a new thread record.

It's normal, considering all the development that this chapters will bring in the future

Mhmm ^^ hopefully we're done with Sasuke vs whoever fights for a while, I'm seriously tired of him getting all the panel time. Switch Sasuke to NS time x) hehe...
As for 22 pages, well we're just to talkative x)

lol so true XD And really, I honestly enjoyed the Sasuke vs. Raikage fight and Sasuke vs. Danzou as well. But you're right, less of Sasuke, more of our conquering hero and his love. 8D

Really? I'm pretty amazed that you found this chapter boring.
I thought it was very important for future development.
I'm in agreement with silverserenity's previous analysis.
However, I would like to add that Karin's role had not been seen until this current chapter.
Karin played a major role in reinforcing the reality that Sasuke has fallen into darkness.
I think Sakura needed to hear it from someone else, truly.
She needed to hear it from Karin who has spent so much time with him recently.
If anyone would see it, Karin would.
It brought everything together for Sakura.
Hence the flashbacks, of course.

I hope that makes sense.
I'm going on three hours of sleep currently.

lol You might want a little more sleep than that ^^' but anyways, I agree. Sakura wouldn't have believed anyone else as well as she did Karin. Question though: how did Karin live so long after getting pierced through the heart with a Chidori?

I forgot about Karin, thank for the reminder

You're right, Sakura did realize that Sasuke wasn't the same but the fact that Karin say it only confirm her suspicion. One thing for sure is, if Kishi doesn't screw up another female role, Karin could really become useful for future development.

I had no choice, sadly.
I had to be at the hospital by 7AM and it's two hours away.
We were there for 12 hours... then a two hour ride home.
So, there you go. XD


Anywayyy.
Yeah, Sakura wouldn't have believed anyone else to the degree she believed Karin.
It only makes sense that Karin would know Sasuke's change better than most.
I haven't any idea how... I've been wondering that myself.
Maybe she's a lot stronger than everyone gives her credit for?
I'm very curious to see what role Karin will continue to play in future developments.

Don't mention it, silver.

That sucks...
Well, on a better note, any ideas/predictions from anyone on how Karin might help?

[Freakazoid]

Ah, well.
I will head off to bed soon and it'll be okay.
o u o

I suppose part of my curiosity about Karin is...
I don't don't really know what she's going to do.
I'm very uncertain about how her character will continue to develop.
My main hope is that she doesn't just disappear for a while.
Karin has really gained my respect in the last few chapters.
I now believe that her feelings for Sasuke are more than that of a fangirl.
Hence her crying even though Sakura is the enemy, maybe?
I don't know. It's an idea, I guess.

Sounds good lol.
And its quite possible; I heard all the time from everyone that Karin was just another fangirl, worse than Sakura was: they're wrong now.

[ShippudenGirl]

I find the whole chapter interesting in development and learning to let go, in Sakura's case pLus Naruto's epic save; I honestly found it to be a huge step in all the development, sure one could find it boring but honestly I would find it boring if Kishimoto had a battle that would just drag on, ugh like I think Deidara vs Sasuke was kinda boring but that's just me. Well, it 2:30am and I need to sleep << Ó_ē Night...

I thought Dei vs. Sasuke was interesting lol.
Good night.

I've heard that many times as well.
That Karin is a bigger fangirl than Sakura was.
This chapter definitely disproved that.
I think everyone has really underestimated Karin.
It was refreshing to see her in action throughout 484.
Definitely caught me by surprise!

I too found the entire chapter interesting. The character development was huge.
I'm terribly excited to see where things go from here!
I suppose everyone gets interested in different aspects.
XD

I'm off to bed as well.
Night everyone.
