I woke up this morning feeling nostalgic for the halcyon days when Naruto was awesome. I remember fondly waking up fifteen minutes early to read about Naruto's valiant struggle to master the rasengan and win his bet with Tsunade. I looked back with joyful sadness at his heartfelt POAL. I remembered how excited I was when Part II started, when Sasori was tanked, when Naruto gallantly returned to Konoha to challenge Pein.
Man, those were good days. I was with this story for a long, long time. Sadly, everything after 692 has totally destroyed all those good vibes. Now this is a piece of junk soap opera where the biggest question is who Sasuke boinked to spawn caesar salad. I don't know if Kishi is intentionally writing trash or not, but somewhere along the way this manga turned into garbage and it's kinda sad.
