Naruto - manga and shippuden

... and on top of the weekly stuff there's a Chibi Lee and Team Gai chapter! I am torn between total WTF and total squee. The squee might be winning, but the WTF is still there. It's awesome. XD CHIBIS. CHIBITENTEN AND CHIBINEJI AND CHIBIGAI AND CHIBILEE. ngggggghsocute. It's totally outside of continuity, so you can read it whenever.

I can't wait to see all the many icons this will produce in fandom. XD



http://www.animecrazy.net/naruto-shippuuden-episode-189/

TEAM SEVEN ON A MISSION TO KITTY FORTRESS TO COLLECT KITTYLEADER'S PAW PRINT.

WHILE WEARING KITTY-EARS HEADBANDS.

Nekobaa was hee! and young!tamaki with short hair socute, and also flashbacks to cute itachi and sasuke as kids!!!! Torturing Playing with kitties! Ngh. X3 Also some "Genin Team Seven pretending to be kitties" complete with batting at cat toys. Also Naruto saying (yes really) that Sakura would see nothing wrong with getting naked and having her picture taken. (the result was as you can imagine.) Also Sakura flirting with sleek and mysterious tomkitty in a bar for information pffhahaha.

It was like watching a crackfic -- silliness and horribly weak premises, but. BUT SOCUTE.

I have a craving for some kittysuke now. Or Sasuke and kitties. Damn. Need to prod teamwork into speeding up to where he starts summoOOOOOOO I COULD DO THAT IN THIS CHAPTER :D :D :D :D wait first i'd have to convice him they'd be more useful than, idk, kakashi's dogs who can track way better, since he doesn't have access to poisonous or PEOPLE CRUSHING snakes, because something as small as a cat seems like it isn't of much use except for recon... then again he has known and met NINJA CATS, surely he knows better! aaaaa SASUKE AND KITTIES. WANT. WAAAAANT.

... [/tangent]





Today was a good day for Naruto-related crack.



1&2&3. Kankuro: *drives the point home about how sasori lost because he lost himself first and kankuro picked him up so he has the real sasori and sasori doesn't. it's something that makes a logical sense, but pushes the logic right to the edge of a weird "thefuck" territory. Also it's goddamn annoying to have it all explained several times in small words, but then again I shall remind myself that the target audience is twelve year old. Therefore.

Sasori: *feels Understood In His Soul* I am at peace! Time to blow this joint, gaiz. :D
Deidei: WAT NO STAY HERE YOU CANT DO THAT TO ME D: D: D:
Sasori: Oh, btw...
Deidei: ;__; yes danna?
Sasori: ... not you, and also shutup, you sucky artist.
hey kank. Have my mom and dad. |D
Kank: sweeeeet. Sure, no prob. :3


meanwhile, Sai is looking down at his picture book melancholically and looking hot as fuck.

wow. while the angle of his profile is nice, i think it's the subtle emotion on his face that really does it.


4. kankuro: "people's feelings aren't so easy to restrain."
... i don't know why this quote makes me lol, but it does. so out of place in his mouth. XD

Kankuro: ... okay bitches, breaktime's over. Time to bust some skulls! >:O


5.Kank bitches: SIR YES SIR oh command us some more~~

Meanwhile Kabuto is chilling in the forest, Anko's body still hanging from his snaketail. I don't know if she's dead, she didn't have three bazilion flashbacks and kabuto didn't leave her on the ground like an empty meat bag, but there's no proof in this chapter that she's alive either.

Kabuto: :D now madara-chan if you could go ahead and attack while i hang back and think of zombies.
Marada: *fucker thinks he can use me and the shinobi army to destroy each other but fuck that noise, i'm the one who's secretly using you!*
Kabuto: *no, i'm the one who's using you!*
Madara: *no, i'm the one who's using you!*
Kabuto: *no, you!*
Madara: *NO YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU TIMES PLUS INFINITY so there.*
Anko: *fruity fuckers have a hot mama hanging out almost shirtless under her open coat juuust beside them and still do nothing but stare at each other. bang and get over it already.*

Pffft madara thinking kabuto is a "scaly bastard." you're gonna hurt his feelings, madara-chan.


6. Meanwhile at Jinchuuriki Central, Naruto puts his head in the mouth of yet another statue. more training yaaaaaaay >_>;;

7. Killerbee: *turns tentacley*

8. Naruto: *gets talked into turning furry* ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

9. -- the fuck XDDDDDDDDDD CHIBI FOX NARUTO!!
Killerbee: ... okay no you really suck, yo.

alas because he does not get along with the fox he ends up looking like an adorable mascot instead of scary and awesome and he can't even maintain it. ... WHICH MEANS THIS IS FORESHADOWING FOR WHEN HE WILL GET ALONG WITH THE FOX AND BE ABLE TO TRANSFORM PARTIALLY AND FULLY INTO AN ADULT-LOOKING FOX OH GOD MY HEART. YES. yes.


10. eight-tail and killerbee: *trade places in control so eight-tail can talk with naruto directly*
I don't even care about the info they're exchanging, okay it's necesary but THEY CAN SWITCH WHO'S IN CONTROL SO EASILY oh i want that for naruto and kyuubi so badly.


11. oh my god, drawbacks to using the dark chakra of an evil tailed beast? gaspu, and here i thought it was a cheat mode of free powerz. and it even limits his clone usage! Oh noes he'll have to be careful about spamming his kagebunshins!
(eee evilsmirk!kyuubi!!! X33)


12. blahblahblah don't take the fox lightly or he'll kill you. (wise advice, hachibi.) blahblah also forget about the secret jinchuuriki move.


13. ahh, it's the gathering energy in your open mouth and shooting a death ray from it thinger. XD Okay.
"it kinda feels like you're throwing up actually."
naruto: *goes see-through-clothes mode* *PUTS FINGERS IN MOUTH TO MAKE SELF THROW UP WHAT THE FUCK NARUTO.*

14. naruto: *predictably throws up*
hachibi: ... okay i'm done here, bee. =___=
naruto: *emo*
killerbee: aw there there. but now you can use your chakra arms to do the rasengan instead of doing it with clones! :D
Naruto: Yay! That having to limit my kagebunshins isn't a check and balance thinger on my awesome new mode after all!

15. naruto: *does rasengan!!*
*... surprise! instead of swirly white it looks like gathering bubbles of dark and light!*

16. bee: ... thefuck. o_o who taught you?
naruto: oh, jiraiya, and the creator was yondaime...
bee: *trembling in AWE*
(*hype hype*)

17. *hot ready-to-kick-ass!yondaime panel*
bee: *fangirls a little bit* omg he made it by copying/adapting that super attack i wanted to show you! It's like he made it especially to hand it down to you!!

I'm not sure how to feel about this. in one hand i see no problem in the tailed beast's death ray attack to have inspired yondaime. in the other hand, "omg a technique naruto cannot use yet even though he just recently powered up, he'll have to work to deserve it! ... wait, no, he's had it all along. :D" Twice in one chapter that he's all "but you've got limits on this new power... haha kidding not really!", that's a bit much. But hey, whatever, next stage is hopefully naruto getting along with kyuubi so i am totally on board with getting the rest of the problems out of the way. XD

18. "tailed beast chakra consists of positive black chakra (i suppose yang) and negative white chakra (therefore, yin), they need to be in balance. when you use the rasengan keep it to a 8:2 ratio."

... prrrrt. (do not ask me why prrt. just because. XD)

I've been waiting for you to comment on the chibi fox Naruto. XD

Also, I approve of Sasukitty tangents, yes. ♥
tephra: (fangirl squee)

I admit, the chibi Naruto-fox cracked me up. It reminds me of another character somewhere but damned if I can remember where.

Yay! Sasuke and kitties! Really, cats and Sasuke go together so much better than snakes and Sasuke, despite suggestive anime opening sequences.

On other topics, I've actually caught up with the Detective Conan manga. Now what am I going to do to keep me up all night rather than sleeping?! ;)

I kinda thought Sasori's "death" was a bit of a cop out - way to easy to talk to death, but I guess with that many zombies to go through, they can't spend a lot of time with each.

Oh gosh. No. NO! Gai-sensei's hairy legs! [dies of horror. or laughter. or both.]

6. Meanwhile at Jinchuuriki Central, Naruto puts his head in the mouth of yet another statue. more training yaaaaaaay >_>;;

Didn't Naruto just say a chapter or two ago that he needs to go back to Konoha and wait for Sasuke? xD

YAY CHAPTER COMMENTARY!

I was waiting for you to watch that episode; did you catch Itachi in the ears too?

(Anonymous) 2010-12-07 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I just rewatched it; am I the only person who found the flashbacks kinda depressing? Especially when he yells at Nekobaa. The look on his face when he realises what he just said in front of his team just screams, 'Shit, I wasn't supposed to say that out loud!'

So I cheered myself up by reminding myself why I love the english dub VAs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRzhFxZUfQY

'Orochimaru loves you too <3'

[identity profile] q99.livejournal.com 2010-12-05 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
And a second chapter too ^^ Not quite as strong as the first (Sakura did not get to shine...), but still, I'm looking forward to future ones.

My favorite little touch: Hokage Monument is chibi too ^^

And you just know it fits so well just because Minato copied it from Naruto's mom :)



I wonder if Naruto's going to learn to combine Kyuubimode with Sage mode too.

Thank you so much for sharing the Lee chibis! (there's actually a second chapter if you click "next page" on the last page). The WTF and squee are about equal for me.

I <3 your summary so much, especially the Anko bit and pretty much the whole Naruto sequence. I loved the Yondaime page! Also, I was amused at the 8/2 ratio just because I'm thinking Naruto + Math = no.

[identity profile] sara-the-lazy.livejournal.com 2010-12-05 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, I think I might just have to watch that episode of Shippuden (I haven't watched any since the first few eps) and yay for it poking your TW bunnies!!!

[identity profile] inverseparadox.livejournal.com 2010-12-06 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
...wait, 8-to-2 - meaning, 4-to-1 - ratio of black-to-white / male-to-female chakra (or possibly the other way around)?

...do we really need to wonder why you might go "prrt" over that...?

^_^

(Honestly I'm not sure what that would mean or imply in this context. But the idea is there.)

(...also, if tailed-beast chakra consists of both yin and yang, that would seem to imply that the beasts themselves are neither exclusively male nor exclusively female by nature; which might provide a bit of an explanation for Teamwork!Kyuubi being male-aspected but having apparently gone into heat...)

Why is 8:2 a balance. HOW.
