naruto 698

[askerian]

+ 1: heartwarming speeches, sasuke admitting he has lost, not to naruto's power but to naruto's sheer, crazy amount of love and determination, sasuke finally looking not like an asshole but like a teenage boy with feelings, some of them NOT disdain or cold murderous rage, the BLOOD and MAIMING :D *cackles*

+/- 1: we already know Naruto grows back his arm since he has it only bandaged in the movie promos but how did that happen, Kyuubi thing? I doubt Sakura can regrow an arm. We haven't seen Sasuke's arm in movie promos (lmao that this armless prediction was correct) If Sasuke decides to keep it off as a reminder/penance that's one thing I guess ... but otherwise it's not super fair. (still. that naruto apparently regrew the whole skeleton of his forearm and hand, the whole tapestry of complex muscles, the nerves -- oh no, the skin is too damaged, must bandage. Considering how manga of this type treats wounds, I bet it's gonna be cosmetic damage and he can use his arm just fine. Ahh,but it would be fun if he was left with some handicap, come on, he's like a god of shinobi now, let challengers believe they might have a smidgen of a chance for at least one second XD)

- 1: Sasuke was all about Naruto. I mean okay they did manage to blow each other's arm off and lose like half their blood ll over each other, that's a bonding occasion if i've ever sen one, but. the rest of team seven had better also get their personalized, emotional-bond-affirming moments next chapter when they finally arrive or I'll be hella cross.

At least with the boys having been KO for a whole night this makes Sakura and Kakashi arriving next chapter not really an asspull re: distances to cross and exhaustion.

ahhh. cannot wait until next week. X3
