I haven't read all the comments yet, (taking a while to catch up to 23 pages worth
) so I probably won't have anything to say that hasn't been said already. I definitely agree that the CPR was not romantic, but the fact that Sakura is willing to go so far as to literally reach inside Naruto's chest to keep him alive says quite a lot. It was a very personal scene, like others have said.
However, I personally find that simply putting the other half of the Kyuubi's chakra into Naruto being enough to save him a bit of a let down. I don't know, it just seems too easy, I expected that Minato's Kyuubi chakra would play a part, but not as the sole solution. Not to mention the possible implications of Kushina's death being preventable really bother me.
Apparently, Karin is way stronger than I sure ever thought she was, but it just feels random. Why hasn't she ever used this ability before? I'm sure it would have been very useful, like in the fight with Bee.
I can't really bring myself to care about the fight with Madara though, he's so overpowered it's downright ridiculous.
Can we talk about that flare of Kurama's chakra on the first page? If Naruto's heart completely stopped, then what was that?
That's what I want to know. I was so confused by that.
Just like, were did that even come from?
