I'm interested in the cover image.
(No spoilers for a fantasy image.)
Sakura looks nice in a summer smock.
I keep forgetting that this "world" has electricity (the power lines next to Kakashi in the fields).

It might be a stretch, but I want to know soon what Itachi gave Naruto during the crowjob... Looking forward to the next!

And oh wait, the color pages... *faints*

Well, they gave us some flashback and contents about healing a broken heart which is always nice and Gaara was actually crying which makes this chapter worth it in a good way. Man, that father deserves what he's gotten. Now, we got to wait another week for Nagato/Itachi vs Naruto/Bee.

That cover of a summer's day does look nice.

The summer cover looks nice love the team seven moment. The conclusion to Gaara's match was amazing and it was sad to see Gaara cry like that truly heartwarming. Like I said next chapter will be epic with Naruto, Bee against Itachi and Nagato.

WHOAH! --Click here to view--

I just remembered something that has gotten me really really excited about this upcoming fight!
I don't know how this would occur, whereas Itachi is perhaps the likely key to all this, but what if Naruto
and Nagato finally discovered that they were both Uzumaki somehow! I don't see this upcoming fight
as being action packed but eventful in terms of information that Itachi and Nagato will reveal.

Nice Chapter --Click here to view--

Did I understand right? Gaara forgave or at least was grateful to his Dad for telling him the truth and his Dad's edo tensei was released?

I found the Gaara scenes very touching. The image of that blood-red "love" tattoo, so prominent on his tear-tracked face, so sad. I think his transformation has been more remarkable than Naruto's in some ways. Gaara's life was much harder, all the way around. He was really held hostage by everyone, his family and shukaku included. He didn't break free of that until Naruto. Naruto, however, didn't seem to have such outright hatred (assasination attempts) coupled with a crazy bijuu (insomnia, etc.). So this resolution was especially touching. Naruto had strong self love, coupled with team bonds quite early on; Gaara's emotional anguish from an even younger age is on par with Sasuke's, I think.

On the flip side, I'm not terribly interested in the other battle in this chap (oonoki? is that his name?). This is one of those instances where I have a hard time generation enthusiasm for characters brought fairly recently to the manga. I'd rather see a backstory of one of the rookies, than a kage from another country who has no significant ties to anyone in the Leaf's main cast. But this may also be a way of keeping the story fresh for new and old readers. So, no biggie - just a personal preference.

The summer pic is cute. It's nice to see Team 7. Very fan-fic-y pic! On a side note, we talk about signs of NS over NH, and I think these little graphics would be an easy way for Kishi to push another pairing in the foreground, in a non-plot developing way. Instead, it's nice to see the focus on the main group, when they haven't been together in a scene, in any way (meaning not even just Naruto and Sakura), in ages and ages.

edit: oh yeah, glad the focus was more on his mom's love than the deadbeat dad.

It's good to see Gaara finally get some much needed justice on his side and it was definitely nice seeing some character development for him since we really didn't know how poor Gaara was tortured as a kid and seeing Naruto and Bee go up against Itachi and Nagato is going to be something, it almost feels nostalgic in a way.

I have nothing to say about Gaara, it was cute but wasn't very interesting to me. I hope that's the end of that. Naruto and Itachi... I'm in heaven.

@pharix --Click here to view--

Maybe he just likes being carried around by Itachi. I know I would.

Well Nina Nee-chan Garra is one of my favorite characters and its interesting to me and id like to know more about him. Ok back on topic this chapter was one of my favorites it really got to me about what happened to Garra and how his mother loves him. Cant wait for next week this is going to be good I can already tell.

[Greed-Sama]

Beautiful --Click here to view--

Glad Gaara got some closure and I enjoyed it.

Now onto why I really enjoyed this chapter. Itachi and Nagato....o how I have missed you. Like someone said earlier. Probably going to be more information giving than an actual fight...bleh. I want an actual fight. Maybe it will be. Who knows?

Well, now that I've stopped crying like a little girl, I can talk about the chapter.

Loved it. Gaara is such a great character, I love that he finally got some answers to questions, and that he knows now that both his mother and his uncle loved him. I just wanted to hug him during this chapter. He looked like he needed it.

I'm glad that the Fourth Kazekage wasn't completely redeemed. He'd done far too many things to too many people to be given any kind of real forgiveness.

The Second Mizukage can summon giant clams. I don't know why, but I find this endlessly amusing.

Naruto and B versus Nagato and Itachi? Interesting match up. I don't think Kabuto would have sent them to encounter those two if he didn't have a plan, so I'm excited to see what it is.

I just hope we finally get an answer to what the power was that Itachi gave Naruto. It's been hundreds of chapters already, I wanna know!

OMG! Didn't I ask for more EyeBromance in the 547 thread or the NaruSaku chatroom? I got my wish! Here's hopin' we see more elaboration of whatever it was Itachi gave to Naruto.

I also like how the former Kages are actively helping their own former ninja by blurting out their weaknesses despite being unable to control their body. Despite their differences, it seems like all Kages are willing to protect their own.

Yes, you did actually and I agree, hopefully we will see what sort of powers did Itachi gave Naruto and how it would play long term, and we're almost at 550, what do you guys think will happen there?

[Phantom_999]

YAAAAYYYY --Click here to view--

The manga is picking up High pace! It is definitely making up for the lack of NS as of late!

[catsi563]

fairly confident we wont see itachis gift to naruto until the Sasuke battle at the end. its the pattern for such a battle and this type of story.

howwver we may very well receive some insight into that gift and a further strengthening of narutos resolve.
