Sneaky Naruto, that was well done, good to seem him actually doing something not Rasengen related for once. But way to totally cheapen Nagato with the Hinata crap... "not fatal"? after Jiraya, Kakashi, Shizune, an entire village, 8 other Jinchurichi? was looking so good last week too. Meh I'm done with the manga if he can't be consistent, and I bet somehow Naruto negotiates an end to this, despite Nagato killing half his precious people. That sort of thing really ought to bite him in the arse more than it actually does.

At least there's still fics, where I can actually protest character fails

Uh, let's have a small reality check here a sec, he's hardly even spoken to Hinata let alone had any opportunity to be "madly in love with her" . His classmates are precious people to hiim though, just like the village was. Remember Sakura calling out for him? he's got noone to call out for, I guess it all got too much although I still think he gave in a bit too easily.

This whole arc is a little rushed though

Yeah, that was a bit hurried; good job spending all those chapters on Uchihas & not on interesting people, Kishi. Still, everything got expressed which was needed to be expressed, even if it wasn't everything that could have been looked at. Minato is dead, he really ought to stay dead.

So, yeah, where's the other half of the Kyuubi? and was that a clone or did he really suimmon himself from the shinigami's stomach ( I'm tending towards the latter ).

Some hilarious panels, specially that last one of Naruto looking up like he broke his neck...

Great, thanks

In a fairly cliché melodramatic way, yes, her death moment would/will be a bit of a tearjerker. In a really brutal life-cut-short this-is-hardcore shock, having her actually dead in that chapter would be a *huge* impact.



I said he made her look stupid, not that doing that was stupid none of the others charged in like that, and at least Sakura has gone running in to help him out in the past when her emotions got the better of her. Remember that little flashback when one of the Pains is asking where he is? there's lots of people who love him to some degree or other now. What she did was understandable, but ... sorry, still stupid. I don't think Kishi actually likes Hinata much.
