Naruto manga chapter 380

[askerian]

-for once something cool happens with Jiraiya seeing Yahiko amongst the bodies (but i suspect i like it better because it didn't last the whole chapter.)
-ahh team hebi u socute. Love how Karin is all NO LET US GO WITH YOU and then Juugo is all HAY U DISOBEY ORDERS?? D: socute. Fine Sasuke, you can keep them. they'll be like your genin team. >.> but i fear they're gonna delay the itasasu fight for AGES to show the kisasui fight.
-AAHHH GET THAT UGLY TAG AWAY FROM ITACHI'S FACE DAMN IT i wanted to see him chilling on his throne ;__; Hmm, while the pose is very cool, does it seem un-itachi to anyone else? he isn't one to slump, and the crossed legs would probably hnder him just a tiny bit. That or he knew sasuke was coming and it's a deliberate insult.
-bwee bwee bwee tobi.

Ohh, it looks like all the players are starting to converge. What a glorious mess this is going to be. *__*

We know Itachi is a queen, so he gets a throne, no? ;D

I love how Sasuke is still all GRRR On the inside. I like the shading under his eyes at the moment, it's kind of giving off that desperate, deranged and disturbed look that resounds so well inside of Sasuke, beneath that coooool exterior and comes out when his brother sits in a pimp throne in front of him.

I'M AFRAID HEBI VS KISAME WILL END IN DEATH ON EITHER SIDE. D: Idk, though.

I also liked Tsunade's part. IT sounded like she was willing to give Jiraiya a ..chance to score. If he came back. Or something.

Itachi doesn't plan to fight right now, he's got information to diverge to his brotha, that's why he's all sitting with a hip and modern attitude.

AND UM, Karin is cute.

And I actually think Akatsuki will have a WIN this time. It's been so long! (re: never. unless you count kidnapping gaara for a couple of days or killing asuma as a win :( )

*snickers* Queen Pimptastic. I approve. Needs a clean scan noooow. *flail flail*

Yeah, seeing Akatsuki's track record I'm scared for Kisame now. T_T No Mr Sharkman, resist the "young generation tops!" tendency, resist! Your sword is bigger! D:

Yeah, Jiraiya/Tsunade was always kind of "could have been but we just got used to the routine" to me. I really hope he only "almost" dies, so Naruto can have his NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *kyuubirage* moment and Tsunade can still get laid. with someone not shizune i mean.

I fear Jiraiya won't come back. It is always the same: A character lives a dangerous life, has many dadly battles and survives. But the moment he comes together with his long time love-interesst he dies. You could see it in the way he said goodbye to Tsunade and especially in the newest chapter the way Tsunade talkes and the rain falls.
Jiraya will die.
I think at the end of the Manga most of the older characters will be dead, even Kakashi will die according to some sources at the internet.
It is like: 'time for the new generation' or 'leave the old behind for a new time'.

[tenshifukyuu.livejournal.com]

Its kind of sad, I kind of like Jiraiya a lot but I agree with those who say that he is not going to make it. To bad for old lady Tsunade. I hear the same thing about Kakashi too, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he cannot die, I refuse to aknowledge that source, He is mine so forgeret

[askerian]

The second I get a clean scan of that page, i'm gonna edit the hell out of it. Oh Itachi. *__*

I dunno, Sasuke doesn't look quite angry/anguished enough. Maybe he forgot how to. Or he's still going "Man of steel!!" ... Betcha it doesn't last the fight.

... if said fight ends up without tears, i'm gonna be kind of pissed. >.>

[askerian]

Yeah. He's pretty when he's impassive but dude. I miss the Sasuke who still got scared or flaming pissed. ;.;

... i'm sure his dear brother will be able to break him a little.

I would kill for Itachi smiling at Sasuke too. Mocking smirks too, they're hot, but -- you know, just a little "you did well" smile. AND THEN HE DIES. T.T I'd dance all over the place.

Seriously. At the rate things are going everyone in the fandom is on the edge; doesn't seem like anyone's safe.

And I love Sasuke, emotionally constipated little bastard that he is, but you're SO right. I need to see an emotional breakdown from him (preferably over Naruto, but Itachi works...both is better). His steel-face facade is so extreme that it's creeping me out. Pre-time skip he was sometimes emotionless, but really he showed a whole range of emotions: pissed, bored, flameing pissed, competative, anger, brooding/angsting, insecurity, and on rare occations even contentness or panic. Now it's just the robotic killer, and I want the broken little eight-year-old who needs another reason to live to come back out.

*loves them all*

So, I'm obviously rooting for Sasuke, but I've got this sneaking suspicion we're going to get what looks like an Epic Battle until Itachi gets bored with it all and hands Sasuke his ass in a pretty little box with a ribbon and mental torture.

OMGTOBI! *squee-but-very-suspicious* Whatcha doin' here, you silly silly... sharingan-user, you...

[askerian]

Heheh. Well yeah, Sasuke still dosn't feel quite up to Itachi's godmode prowesses... I'm thinking he might still get in a few good punches at least. I'd like it better if they both hand each other their ass and then they could have sex.

Tooobi. *_*

[book-people.livejournal.com]

Meh. They could have sex anyway... Oh, the poor boy would probably kill himself if he doesn't hurt Itachi a little. He's spent the last how-many-years obsessing about him, after all. Revenge-sexual, doncha know. >D

I find it amusing that Kishimoto has managed to create a villain that the entirety of fandom will only ever see as "adorable".

Wait...isn't Sasuke's ass already in a bow?

[lyarrah.livejournal.com]

So very, very true.

Also, icon love. May I create a similar one in my own color scheme?

[akapiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Where are you guys reading this? I can only find raw....

Kisame is a sex muffin in this chapter and he has a very nice ass. I think I'm going to fangirl over his butt shot for the rest of the week.

I don't want him to get killed by Suigetsu though. That would be really lame. But at least he was sexy in this chapter and we finally get to see Tobi, Naruto's group and Team Hebi. *__*

Kisame is Itachi's ho.

Ok, sorry if this comment sounded stupid and I know that you never met me before so HIIII. *waves*

[nobody-famous.livejournal.com]

Icon love. <3

[ayonoi.livejournal.com]

dude, the raw is out in mangahelpers so get rid of the tag! Check the pic in my lj...he is a PIMP. He so cool, even if his brother is threatening to kill him, he is chilling in a throne with the kanji "kitsune" in the back. OHHHHHHH.

Everyone is noticing how cool Kisame is. WTF PEOPLE! Kisame was sex god to me since day one. But yes, finally, some appreciation for a fine, sharky man. And Suigetsu? Dude so cute...now I want Kisame to top him HARD and ROUGH (ummm, yeah!).

TOBI!!!! That makes me happy.

"with the kanji "kitsune" in the back"
but around the kanji there are only 8 tails....

-general stalker

[kohikari.livejournal.com]

There are nine. The last one is obscured by the throne-thing.

[(Anonymous)]

only 8, check the start of the tails around the kanji, i counted it like 10 times, bc it should be 9 but its still only 8
we can see 4, +1 behind the throne, but with the composition of the starts of the tails in the upper edge of the pic, there cannot be more then 3..

what if the ninth tail is the throne, or the one sitting in it?

-general stalker

[kohikari.livejournal.com]

*counts again* Nah, there's nine. *counts again, for like the billionth time* Hoshit, you're right. We can only see seven tails and one wayward tip. Uhhh...can I grab at the first page of chapter 1 to support the nine-tails-theory, though? In that very first color page Kishimoto drew, the eighth and ninth tails are squished in small together at the very bottom. The ninth might just be completely obscured from that angle.

[nobody-famous.livejournal.com]

What I'm wondering is what's happened to Konan. I thought she just hopped up onto a ledge to watch, or did I miss something?

[miaka2u.livejournal.com]

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with your post at all.... but............. I want an OT3 picture from you involving wild mistletoe in the woods. XD I just was in a Christmas-y mood and that ran across my head.

I know it's probably not original... <3

[kikyou-sama18.livejournal.com]

Yeah...chapter 380 is absolute LOVE! It has a bit from everywhere!

Oh well...it's kinda sad but think Jirayia is going to die. And I'm not saying this because of chapter 381. I thought this the moment it became clear that he was gonna fight Pain.

And Itachi IS OFF. Man..that throne thing. Only the crown is missing. I think he's just gonna piss Sasuke off more then disappear.

[sara-the-lazy.livejournal.com]

I think Itachi's lounging to show he doesn't really take Sasuke seriously.

Definitely looking forward to the fight between them.

And a little bit to Suigetsu and Kisame just because it'll be fun.
