No seriously, it's what I'm reading right now.

BTW, Blinktopia's translation is out.

I like this version better. Thanks for sharing! I'd rather read this.

When do they release the chapters every week? Friday, Saturday?

Late Friday or Saturday from what I read earlier in the forum, just started reading their stuff last week. Definatly much better then Sleepfans.

Binktopia's is a much better quality the Sleepy's, once again.

I have to say, I'm kind of losing my interest in this series. The flipflopping with character attitudes is getting to be rather annoying.

Sakura is strong one minute, crying over a boy the next. Is some consistency a little too much to ask?

Sasuke is dead set on genocide one second, and then just gives up on it. Hell, he didn't even go to check the village. Which is hardly gone. It's already being rebuilt. Geez, I thought he was a genius.

And the Cloud team is really starting to piss me off. They're acting like jackasses, even though they can see Konoha is worse off than them.

The only one that is getting any Respect points lately is Naruto. How boring.

Uh-huh.

Wow. I can't blame you there. I'm kind of tired of waiting every week just to read one dialogue from a few characters.

Translating sure is hard.

Well, all we should do is to keep waiting.

Patience is a virtue.

Maybe if Kishi would stop this complete jump around with pairing hints, he's really all over the place with it. I'm still confident in NaruSaku, but yeesh.

[Nee-sama]

I'm kind of starting to think that Sasuke knows he's being manipulated, but he just doesn't know how much trouble he's in. He said it himself, he's going to wait and see what happens... But I get this picture in my head, when Madara says he's gonna sync Sasuke to the Gedo giant, of a gaunt atrophied Sasuke with a bunch of sticks stabbing out of his back.

Maybe. But, like what Itachi said, Sasuke is just gullible.

Btw, what is a 'Gedo Mazo' or something like that? And what did Tobi/Madara mean by 'Pein's Rinne Tensei was supposed to be for me'?

I read that before. XD In SleepyFan's translation. Not sure if it is the real one.

[Nee-sama]

Gedo Mazo is the big statue thing that Akatsuki was using to host the bijou they stole. Same statue Nagato summoned after Yahiko's death in his flashback story.
Rinne Tensei was the magical bring-everyone-back-to-life jutsu that was probably supposed to be used to make everyone think that Madara died in some future battle...

Oh. Alright, thanks!

The Rinne Tensei may have been Madara's back-up plan, just in case he knows in a battle, he will die.

--Against fighting Naruto, Sasuke, or both?

Unsure.

Ok............" The characters have stayed in character's from what I have seen. Itchi said it himself that Sasuke is gullible. Which means he a be a good pawn basically for Mandra to control.

Sakura had a right to beak down heck, I would break down after my village was destroyed my closes best friend and the person that I might have feelings for almost died and then theses random Ninja tells me that my other best friend has joined the people that did it and wont to kill the other best friend.

Sakura is strong one minute, crying over a boy the next. Is some consistency a little too much to ask?

She has a right I mean Her master was put in to a coma and then she learns that one of her ex temmate join the people who are going to kill the closest person to her right. Hell I would cry over something like that
I DOUBT it was over the boy it self I think it was a combination of things.

Sasuke is dead set on genocide one second, and then just gives up on it. Hell, he didn't even go to check the village. Which is hardly gone. It's already being rebuilt. Geez, I thought he was a genius.

It's called being easy to manipulate. He not that much of a genius he a genius at fighting not at Shikamaru level of genius.

And the Cloud team is really starting to piss me off. They're acting like jackasses, even though they can see Konoha is worse off than them.

Um, Yeah they are acting a little bit of how you put it.

The only one that is getting any Respect points lately is Naruto. How boring.

Have you been seeing the same manga we have it hasn't been boring

The level of excitement/boringness of the chapter is subjective. Just because you enjoyed it, doesn't mean that everyone did. Not trying to criticize you, but this seemed a bit harsh.

I always feel like the chapters aren't long enough. I wait an entire week for something that takes me a total of 10 minutes, tops, to read. I really wish at times that I had the patience to forgo Naruto for even just a month and read it in four chapter intervals. I don't think I'll ever have that sort of will power though.

On a weird side note, has anyone else noticed that this is first chapter in a LONG while that's longer than 17 pages? At least since 20-30 weeks. Let's hope that these slightly longer chapters remain the norm from now on!

Same here! We wait 7 days for a new chapter, then we only get a small part of what is supposed to be a whole book. Kind of sad, if you think about it.

I'm such a sucker for not having enough patience to wait.

And, I can't believe I wrote this after I said earlier that 'Patience is a virtue'. Hypocrite.

I sure did. And yeah, I agree with you there. I hope the chapters would be longer than the normal length.

[talesoffireemblem]

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see any SasuSaku in the chapter (especially after reading Blinktopia's translation). What I think happened was that Sakura came to the realization that she does not know how she feels towards Sasuke. After Karui asked what Sasuke was to her she tries to answer, albeit in her thoughts, but cannot find an answer to the question and then starts to cry (probably out of confusion or frustration with not being able to answer this question).

I loved that scene because it was something that Sakura needed to come to grips with eventually. Now I don't we got an answer this chapter, but it's something that will probably be addressed later on. I think this will be soon, since it's probably still on her mind. I'm looking forward to this since before Sakura can start to realize her feelings for Naruto she needs to sort out her feelings for Sasuke.

Just my $0.02.

I dont know if Kishi was trying to project to the fans that Sakura has mixed feelings. Or if maybe she is just really down right now. I'd like to look at it that way as it draws closer to NaruSaku. But it also seems to kind of make the NaruSaku idea seem cheap. Like Naruto saves the village go's out of his way to help Sakura for this long and she still possibly has feelings for Sasuke? I don't want NaruSaku to just be thrown together but i also don't want it to happen just because Sasuke is bad or he dies. I really don't see how she could have feelings for Sasuke after this long anyways. But i guess if she does we will find out soon enough.

I have to say, I'm kind of losing my interest in this series.

I was in a similar position a couple months ago, so I sympathize. I'd just completely lost patience with the manga in general and stopped checking in for months at a time. I'm not as disinterested now as I was then, but I'm never really in much of a hurry to read them anymore.

Things are a bit better, at least.

Have you been seeing the same manga we have it hasn't been boring

Ahh, but it has. Several times over the course of the manga, in fact. It usually depends on who and what Kishi decides to focus on at a given moment, but it's kind of hard to deny that some arcs have been headscratch worthy misses.

Now? That's a bit more subjective. I personally might not go as far as to say it's boring, but I can see how someone might be getting annoyed and/or bored with things. I've had the same problems often ever since the Shikamaru arc.

She has mixed feelings.

And that question triggered her emotions, and she just cried.

We shouldn't blame her, because it was too much for her to handle.

I would cry too.

And, in my opinion, this is actually a step forward for NaruSaku, because Naruto is doing everything he can, just to see Sakura smile.

He would never want to see her cry, right?

She still might have feelings for Sasuke, but that doesn't mean that she would pick Sasuke over Naruto, as soon as Naruto comes back, dragging the Uchiha along.

I know that she isn't that shallow.

As we see in Shippuden, she is actually starting to develop her feelings/love/trust towards Naruto.

No SasuSaku -- Just Team 7 relationships, more like a NaruSakuSasu.

Overall, I think this chapter was positive towards our favorite pairing.

Yea i feel the same and hope it happens that way. To go back to SasuSaku at this point in time would be so bad haha.

[Freakazoid]

At this point with the last few chapters, Kishi is either trying to pave the way for NaruSaku to become canon, or trying to pave the way for SasuSaku in their reuinion. I'm leaning to NaruSaku though of course.

I doubt he would do that Naruto x Sakura is the most popular n Japan. I doubt that he would do something that will disappoint people in the Japanese fandom. He didn't even know Nartuo was popular in over here.

He has gave us so many hints that Naruto x Sakura is the canon paring. I seriously doubt that Kishi would pull a Toryima or Digigmon adventures
