As I thought --Click here to view--

Neji's death wasn't meant as a romantic NH moment or a garanty seal that proves NH is canon, in fact this has NOTHING to do about pairings or romance for the matter. Neji's death is to clarify everyone present in the Konoha 11 are willing to die protecting Naruto, to die protecting their friends. Also his death is the one straw needed that will develop Hinata's character into a better one. She will finally drop her obsession over Naruto and finally mature taking her spot as the heiress of the Hyuuga clan seriously. This is the beginning of a more calm and serious Hinata. Finally putting her clan, friends and village as a top priority. It will no longer be all about Naruto which is her only reason to fight in the war.

On top of that I'm sorry to all Neji/Hina fans this marks the end of the pairing R.I.P Neji/Hina.

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it --Click here to view--

I knew it. Just as I said the only way for Hinata to get development is if someone dies. And before you start with NH no, just no this moment isn't NH. It's just a good moment for Hinata that's all it is.

Well, now I'm more calm. To me this was all about Hyugas, especially Neji and how he freed himself from the fate and everything. As well, a nice parallel there with why do you this this? Because I was called a loser/genius.
Very nice, Kishi, very nice! But of course everyone saw NH... Jeez. Anyway...
And was that Sakura protecting Kakashi or evading those branches or it was just me?

It wasn't as bad as most people on here were making it out to be. Neji was merely addressing the fact that Naruto now has two particular people protecting him with their lives which makes sense considering that both Hinata and Neji jumped in front of the projectiles in order to protect Naruto. But apart from that this chapter depicting Neji's final showing was kind of a letdown. I was expecting so much more from him considering how much hype he had amongst the K11 plus thanks to his connection with Naruto you'd think that he might have done more before dying. Sadly, I didn't really feel anything for his death. It's similar to the abrupt deaths that occurred in the final book of Harry Potter. The only one that I felt any sorrow for was Dobby.

We are definitely going to see a betrayal soon. Tobi is already acting contentious towards Madara and with the realization that Madara intends to sacrifice Tobi in order to resurrect himself you can be certain that Tobi will rebel.

wow --Click here to view--

I really did see that one coming (I didn't read the spoiler thread), and like Gravenimage said there wasn't anything remotely NaruHina about this chapter, unless you want to count that they were within 10 feet of each other.

I find it amusing that the whole deal with the Hyuga clan is vastly more important to Neji's character then to Hinata, I guess that's why it didn't come up at all until now.

I'm gonna miss Neji though, but I don't know if it's just me but you'd think that Kishi kinda did him a little s****, I mean he really didn't do that much compared to others in this war and he didn't even appear in the last two chapters, I mean Kishi could have at least put him in the last to chapters


@Chatte: It wasn't just you.

Insert small rant --Click here to view--

This was a NH moment, a NEJIHINA moment hehe, see what's did there? No? Ok.....

But anyways, maybe we'll see hinata not cry so much, because all I could see was hinata being kinda worthless again. So she better develop. And what happened to naruto's dislocated shoulder.

And finally, NEJI, respect. RIP

Btw this is now Lenten and kibahina, I loved how people were complaining about killing hinata to get rid of the narusaku love triangle, but it happened right here.
AND ANOTHER THING, we find out obito can use his body to rinne tensei someone. MORE FORESHADOWING

Edit:Canadian, spoiler tags please

Okay... --Click here to view--

So the K11's plot shiels has now been officially lifted it seems. No one is safe anymore. It also seems like both Shikaku and Inoichi are truly dead.

I honestly don't really know how to feel about all this. Yeah, it is more realistic that some named characters would die in a war against such powerful opponents and not just nameless fodder, but this is just...sad.

As for the comment itself, I agree with Gravenimage that there doesn't really seem to be anything romantic about it. There could be, but if that was the case then I feel like it could have been more properly conveyed. Maybe it's just the biased NS fan in me speaking. I don't know. For now I'll just wait and see.

For me, this moment seems to have been the last piece of character development for Neji, since he has finally been able to show Naruto his gratitude for "freeing him" and he also got to fulfill his duty of protecting the main branch. As for Hinata, I also believe that she will have some sort of development from his. She's on her own now, so she also need to grow up and mature a bit.

I hate to say this, but this really makes me hope that Tsunade will actually die. It seems that the theme of these chapters is for Obito and Madara to cast the alliance into despair. If this is true then Tsunade's death will more than serve as Sakuara's "despair".

Obito and Madara's plan is...interesting. It really does seem like Obito doesn't care at all about this world anymore seeing as how he is prepared to give up his own body. I sense some serious betrayal coming up.

Oh and watching the Naruto SD anime is going to be really sad after this chapter.

Something else that was interesting --Click here to view--

Did anyone here take note of Naruto calling for a medic? Well we know of one who is very skilled at what she does and she would logically be the first person to respond to Naruto's cries for medical assistance. Plus we did get a panel of her avoiding the Mokuton this chapter so perhaps that's a hint for her future involvement? You gotta admit that she's been receiving more screen time than any of the other K11 members except the ones whom Kishi is directly addressing with their moments of glory.

Of course I'm talking about Sakura. Heh... To be honest I'm just relieved that the chapter wasn't as bleak as it was assumed to be.

Yes, yes, I saw that as well. She was dodging Mokuton brenches like Tsunade instructed her to do. So probably, indeed she'll get to Naruto in the next chapters.

That's why it's best to ignore anything about NH or the fandom for the matter.

NEJI --Click here to view--

Everyone was worried about killing gai because of springtime of youth, but with NEJI dead what happens now? Speaking of which new chapter is out

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Just saying Obito will sacrifice himself and ressurrect everyone with edo rinne tensei minus tsunade.
Kishi does not have balls to let them dead.

[Atheck]

He said it was too late.

Response --Click here to view--

Doesn't mean a medic won't rush over to try and assist anyway. It's not as if Naruto called out to say that it was too late.

[PhenixElite]

My prediction --Click here to view--

Naruto or sakura will be killed by obito. After obito sees the reaction of sakura over narutos death(or narutos over sakura) he remembers how he felt after rins death and betrays madara in using his rinnegan rivive for naruto(or sakura), just like pain betrayed obito with using it on the village.
Will see i hope for something like that at least

Yes, kishi will ressurrect everyone he already give a hint.
