real life + naruto manga

[askerian]

-Real Life: I'm leaving on vacation for a week or so. No internet, not even a computer, just a little pocket reader thing that I hope I managed to load with enough ebooks to survive. DX
Do not panic if you don't see me online, and yes, I'll try to write more Triplets things. Ufufufu.

1. Gai splash page! ORYAAAA. oh Gai. XD


2. So last week flashback!Kushina died after giving baby Naruto a ton of motherly advice. "His mother's parting words resonate with Naruto" = AWW.
he promises to eat more vegetables! and no worries he sleeps enough! (and probably too much! XD) *snerk* socute.
I like the panel with his friends on it. N'aww the Konohamaru corps. ... lmao at how you can barely see Shino there. bet he'd sulk again. "You forgot about me again... naruto." >D


3. one of my friends is a dickhead, mom, but i'm still his friend! as for school um. yeah. er. *cough* and my teachers! ... okay so you were totally right about it being a good idea to keep away from Jiraiya. .__.;;

Anyway those two pages...last week there were people building ridiculous scenarios about how "if X advice/prediction/request from Kushina is true, ALL are true" (mostly at the "don't date a weird girl" one, oh god shipping fanatics what) but it's pretty obvious it's a grab bag of "I do!" "i didn't but i will from now on!" and "oops, err", and thankfully so. Which kid does exactly as their parents expect and hope for, srsly. XD


4. "to become a bigger badass than my father! to become a stronger shinobi than my mother!" = EEEEEEEEEEE.
Okay his dad IS badass, and matching his vadassitude is a great goal. But then he goes on to say his mom was an awesome shinobi, and make it his goal to SURPASS her. usually in manga when a girl character is acknowledged as strong she's still not something to measure yourself up against. It's like "how nice, you're strong... no, we're not just saying that to flatter you. so... we'll go over there and compete between boys, yeah?"
okay, since she's dead Naruto is technically STILL not competing against her anyway, but just saying he needs to measure himself up against her is prrt.


5. pffhahaha Yamato. Naruto is all YEEAH I RULE and Killerbee is all YEEAH YOU RULE and they're all "yeah, you did this and that? good show man" and poor yamato is all "the fuck are you taking abouuuut. guys? guys? i'm still here?"


6. killerbee/naruto: *keep ignoring yamato blahblah oh yeah that was cool blah*
yamato: *FREAKS* "YOU'RE DOING THIS ON PURPOSE"
you know, i think they totally are. Brats. XD ♥

Gai: *being Gai*
Aoba: ... *apologizes to motoi for gai being gai my god why are you so... gai*


7. "the Kyuubi chakra is sectioned off within me in a separate place, which means i'm not using it automatically all the time" = HMM. Interesting.
inner naruto: *standing in between temple gates, siphoning off some chakra*

8. naruto: *shows off "what happens when he does"* :DDD
... oh god his clothes went see-through to show off the body tattoos. I APPROVE. :D :D :D (wonder how the anime will render it, or even how it looks colored. it's hard to imagine.)

Yamato's wooden giraffes: *HAY IT'S SPRING*
Yamato: "amazing, it's so full of life energy, even my wood-element techniques are reacting to it" = ... oooOOOOOooo I WANT TO KNOW WHAT ELSE IT CAN DO.
(disappointed the giraffe didn't flower though. it would have been funny. bloom, naruto, bloom! ;^;)


9. naruto: ... YOUR SWORD. IT HAZ SHARK-NESS IN IT.
killerbee&yamato: rly? can feel no chakras.
naruto: it's not CHAKRA it's EVILNESS PRESENCE OF EVIL. because now that i'm all tree-flowering and shit i can TELL THOSE THINGS. i am FILLED WITH LIIIIGHT

oh god. sasuke is ~lost in the darkness~. naruto needs to fill him with light too. i wonder how metaphorical it'll turn out to be. *has Bad Thought*


10. samehada: *jumps off kisame's back!* *looks like a bandaged cockroach D:*
kisame: *look at my naked shoulders ohoho* *hypes naruto blahblah oh apparently you can now detect intentions and evilness now, not even sensor types can do that, INTERESTIIING.*

in one hand the new ability is interesting -- empath naruto? HUH. shiny. In the other hand, yeah, he so totes needed hyping after his sage mode and his newest kyuubi-powered mode. XD then again he needs to measure up against sasuke's newest eyeball upgrade somehow.


11. killerbee: you were dead? D:
kisamehada: :D aw, did i disappoint you. also i been spying on you the whole time, idiot. *flies off all cockroach-like*


12. naruto: *shows off his manly man-kyuubisage manliness* *PUNCHY*
TELEPORT TECHNIQUE

"BUT ALL I SAW WAS A YELLOW FLASH" = oh god naruto, in one hand YAYYYYYYY daddy's technique! in the other hand how'd you learn that by watching a couple of mommy flashbacks again? D: is it something that just becomes evident with enough chakra or what?
naruto: buuuuuut i needed hyping? .___.
Sure you did. But ♥ anyway because hee daddytechnique.


13. kisamehada: *admires. ow.*
naruto: BWAHA-- aw shit. Um. I landed so hard and now i'm stuck D:
That'll learn you to show off, naruto.
kisamehada: *makes like a cockroach*
killerbee: *CHASES!!* >:O


14. aaaand Aoba confirms he's a dick. XD "Come on gai, are you scared of meeting your true inner self? you know you wanna try. ... :D pffhahaha. i bet it's not even human."


15. Inner Gai: blahblah "youth" sucks blahblah stop showing off you're OLD it's not healthy for you grandpa
Gai: OH NO YOU DIDN'T DISS THE POWER OF YOUTH. SHOW YOURSELF >E


16. kisamehada: BOOYAH.
*cracks up* oh gai's FACE XD XD XD "is that what i'm like on the inside? some strange bug????"
kisamehada: ... aw fuck. the bizarre beast? D:


17. ahahahahaha XDDDDD
gai: i'mma beat some youth back into you! err, me! *ELBOW DROP*
kisamehada: oww fuck i hate you
killerbee: *IN HOT PURSUI... uh.*

okay yes, that gag worked for me. Poor Kisame.


so THAT's why Gai was brought along on that trip. He's finally going to end his rivalry with Kisame! :D (if you can call it a rivalry when he keeps forgetting kisame exists and kisame is equal parts disgusted and exasperated and frustrated. ... man, i love the dynamic. XDDD)

Alright so. ... ♥ i'm easy. It was a fun chapter. Full of OMG NARUTO IZ AWESOME but if after 500+ chapters he was STILL the scrappy kid who can't do anything right there might be a problem. It was funny, and yay parentslove, and i'm starting to warm up to killerbee (even though he was still an ass to his brother. >__> but well, obviously raikage knows how he is...)

Kisamehada is my new favorite word next to Kaburochimaru.

[kitchensink13.livejournal.com]

Can never forget Tobidara. 8D

[nothri.livejournal.com]

I kind of like dark guy, actually. He doesn't sound so evil as...kinda sedate and reasonable. "Uh....look man, you're kinda old to go on about youth and stuff like this...and it kinda weirds everyone else out. Maybe you should dial it back down a bit, huh?"

sorry, couldn't resist

[arin-rowan.livejournal.com]

BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE YOUTHFUL!

[questofdreams.livejournal.com]

bwahahaha this chapter was so fun to read and OMG I SQUEE'D WHEN NARUTO DID HIS DADDY'S TECHNIQUE SL;FJEOIS EEEEE~

Oh Gai xD

I'm just really glad it didn't play out the way I expected it to, which was for Kisame to somehow get Madara to the island and Bee goes kaput. Although that may yet happen... hrm.

[charcoalcat.livejournal.com]

PffttahahahaOWowieowieee~e Right, so I really needed to lmao like I needed a punch in the face but also like I needed a large sum of free money. So thank you and don't ever do that again. (which is uke speak for, please, more, anything you want Asuka-sama ~♥ >.>;;)

one of my friends is a dickhead, mom, but i'm still his friend! -- Shyeaeaaaahright, more like "my world currently revolves around him". Oh Naruto.

"to become a bigger badass than my father! to become a stronger shinobi than my mother!" = EEEEEEEEEEE. -- ♥♥♥♥♥♥

... oh god his clothes went see-through to show off the body tattoos. I APPROVE. :D :D :D (wonder how the anime will render it, or even how it looks colored. it's hard to imagine.) -- Oooooh, shiiiiiiiny..... *___* He's on fire! But also has a kinda tribal warrior thing going for him that I approve of. Need to see it in color with a big wanting want.


Also, eeeee, daddytech! And the fact that he doesn't get it completely right on the first try is good news. Perhaps he can learn it so suddenly the same way Sasuke was suddenly able to use sharingan, because it's in his blood? Only Naruto is more intuitive in a fight and often tries things before thinking them all the way through? Something like that, but worded more clearly (head is a little broken atm). Or at least that's what my suspension of disbelief is giving me as a pacifier.

okay yes, that gag worked for me. Poor Kisame. -- Yes, yes indeed. I LMAO. shouldn't have but did.

Have fun on vacation! Hopefully something really good will happen so you can enjoy it rather than endure it. ^__^ Will miss you, of course, but am stupid at tracking the movement of time so maybe won't notice how long you're gone until you get home. *hugsquishes*

(Also, yay, thank you for pointing in the direction of easy story formatting!! So generous to share the good info. *nuzzles affectionately*)

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

Hm. You know, empath Naruto actually makes a good bit of sense, if you combine it with the Jesus!Naruto effect and the whole "ninja fist-telepathy!" thing. He may have been doing it all along, subconsciously, but getting Kyuubi under control and not in the back of his head snarling and growling might have cleared things up enough that he could notice things on the conscious level. (Because, you know, "gigantic seething mass of hatred living in the back of your head" has got to create one hell of a lot of interference on the psychic plane.)

-usually in manga when a girl character is acknowledged as strong she's still not something to measure yourself up against.-

Yea, I liked that part, and quite fitting for Kushina :)

"BUT ALL I SAW WAS A YELLOW FLASH" = oh god naruto, in one hand YAYYYYYYY daddy's technique! in the other hand how'd you learn that by watching a couple of mommy flashbacks again? D: is it something that just becomes evident with enough chakra or what? -

I don't think it's the true Flying Thunder God technique/time-space jutsu, I think it's just a super-fast flash step. But yyyyea! all the same.

I like how incredibly vulnerable to peer pressure Gai is.

[nemi-chan.livejournal.com]

haha, look at Neji's face, it's like he's lifting his chin (and maybe on tiptoes?) so he's seen!

Who's the kid with the cute pony tail in front of Naruto in the class?

I love Jiraiya, he's totally pimp. He and Uncle Iroh need to bar crawl the elemental countries.

Moitoi is used to insanity.

Translation for Killerbee's rapping isn't so bad, and his rhythms are getting pretty damn rad.

WTF Kisame is looking pretty good emerging from Samehada. I can't put my finger on it (I shouldn't, I'd cut myself), but kinda clean cut or something? Also, Roachy-chan, the name returns.

Aaaand Killerbee's rhymes go back to shit, damn I'm a twit.

Oh god Gaaaaaaai.

...I hope he does conquer his inner self. And goad Kakashi into it. Might we meet...Obito?

I don't usually do this but....

[daemoninwhite.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, the idea of Jiraiya and Uncle Iroh bar crawling the elemental countries made me cry of laughter and really, really want a cross over damnit.

(Because, can you image the Uchiha clan in the Fire Country? Because I can. And and and and. Naruto vs Aang. IF THERE IS A GOD, IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE THIS IS THE NORM.)

[water-soter.livejournal.com]

*rofl* Oh man, thank you, that was the funniest thing in the world. Your summary was awesome and I loved it so much my sides still hurt from all that laughing.

[dragon695.livejournal.com]

I will not forgive Kishimoto if this is the last we hear from Kyuubi. ;_; I'm glad Naruto is at peace, but I'd rather have Kyuubi!Naruto than Ghost!Naruto... >_> I got to give you credit, however, you pretty much predicted it. And it was a fun chapter, especially with the return of GAI!

[askerian]

I want Kyuubi!Naruto too T__T come on, show us some drawbacks for that power given by a friggin' DEMON. even when he got sixtailed he didn't even get to wake up all "shit what did i do" and scared of himself. hn.

[dragon695.livejournal.com]

I used to fervently dispute anyone who said Naruto was like DBZ, with mindless power-ups at no expense to the main character. Look, I would say, Naruto doesn't always get the deus ex machina powerup and even when he does it doesn't mean flawless victory. I'm finding that much harder to do now. >_> I just wish they hadn't poweredup Sasuke and Naruto so fast. Oh well, I think I probably complain too much in your journals; I shall try to be more positive in the future. I hope you had a nice vacation and welcome back. ^_^

[ithilgwath.livejournal.com]

have fun~!

I did a search for an archival scanalation site because I want to force my roommate to read 1/2 Prince (hilarious btw), and I noticed Naruto as well. Enjoy!

[askerian]

AWESOME. :D thank you for the link, hon!
