Naruto 541
BEST SPLASH PAGE EVER.
nghhhh X3 (click for a bigger version)
askerian: omg onsen splash page XD
askerian: THIS IS EPIC. XD
joisbishmyoga: LEE
joisbishmyoga: The boys need a bigger pool.
askerian: pff. their fault for being twice as many as the girls
askerian: lee's body *_*
joisbishmyoga: Lee's POSE.
askerian: oh wow neji has the same hair twist as ino XD
askerian: AWESOME
joisbishmyoga: HAHA HE DOES
joisbishmyoga: Do we want to know what's wrong with Shino?
askerian: he has seen under chouji's towel.
askerian: nah, he's just weak to heat, probably XD
joisbishmyoga: I still like Lee best. THAT IS A VERY CONVENIENTLY PLACED NARUTO, KISHIMOTO-SENSEI.
Hinata's hair is socute, and even more like Neji's than Ino's with the little up-flippy ends. X3
Lee's hips oh god. *staaaares*
Sakura's smile is really weird though. I think Kishi wanted to make the pressed cheeks show, but it just looks awkward as a result. ;_;
1. thou shall not pass!
Tsunade: *hypes naruto's awesome new chakra control mode some more*
Raikage: *is badass and angry*
2. Naruto: *engages narutovision*
*cue pictures of friends in their chuunin vests -- oh i get it, he's jelus of the awesome jackets.*
(kakashi and gai and lee: kakashi is holding zabuza's sword, man, I wonder what Suigetsu is gonna think about that. everyone is getting Mist swords but him!)
(Kiba being roarr, Akamaru being *whine* as Neji is sprawled exhaustedly on his back. pff Neji. he's so dignified usually, this looks cracktastic. XD)
(Hinata and Shino looking at things being OMG D: come on Hinata don't look so meek/scared. i hope it's because something awesomedangerous is going their way. MmmplzKishi.)
(InoShikaChou+Tenten arguing about something. Plans? What the heck is Shikamaru holding, a book? I can't tell.)
(Sakura: GO TO MY BEDROOM NOW.)
Naruto: I can't sit around while everyone's sacrificing themselves for me! If we win the war, but they all end up dead...
3. "... it's all meaningless!!!" => aw, Naruto.
Raikage: It's better than the whole world ending and they all know that! => well. yeah. that's the hard cold logic bit. ;__;
Naruto: and now that i know that, if I just hid and kept myself safe I wouldn't even consider myself a human being! => AWWW NARUTO ;__;
Raikage: NO SRSLY THOU SHALL NOT PASS.
... ;___; ♥ narutoooooooooo.
4. "i'm in nine-tails mode and he can still keep up with me??"
okay, yes, Raikage is epic. @__@
THUNDERPUNCH, BITCH.
5. "GRANNYYYYYYY GRAMPS WON'T LET ME THROUGH TELL HIM TO LET ME THROUGH" pff, playing your parents against each other, oh Naruto, you're a normal child at long last. XD
I like that Tsunade manages to tell him no because she's not acting as the Hokage but as part of the Shinobi army and it's not her absolute authority he's under atm.
6. Naruto: ... aw fine i get it. I'll have to show off some more of my kickassitude!! *SPEEDS UP*
Raikage: *also speeds up, oops.*
7. Tsunade: 'no, the real shock is that your Ninetails mode is fast enough to keep up with the Raikage.'
... Raikage really is epic. *_*
"Blahblah I knew your dad he was awesome UP UNTIL HE FAILED LIKE A FAILING FAILURE"
Oh Raikage you didn't. D: This will end in tears. Not Naruto's. (well, not ONLY naruto's. he's a woobie like that.)
8. double-page of flashbacks to his mom and dad being awesome. Also with Naruto's conclusion of "he didn't fail at all" it just so happens to make it sound like Yondaime's big success was to give birth to Naruto. A bit arrogant there hon. XD
9. raikage: Fine I'll just kill you. That'll buy us time against Madara until kyuubi revives!
D: D: D:
Naruto *talk to the hand seal*
10. Killerbee: *GETS IN THE MIDDLE*
Tsunade: *apparently my role this week is to stand on the sidelines and go OMG HE DIDNT and OMGPHEW. Okay then. -__- *
11. Killerbee: you could kill me too, yo. The enemy would still be totally fucked! :3 So kill me and let Naruto go, same diff?
Tsunade: you can't do whatever you want without asking the others!
Raikage: Yes i can!
Tsunade: So why Naruto and not killerbee, huh? huh?
Raikage: ... it's a perfectly logical and reasoned decision shut up! >( I'll kill bee too if I have to, it's just right now Naruto is the logical choice, don't question my logic.
12. *FISTBUMP*
Raikage: "You jinchuuriki can't just live for yourselves! you're part of the balance of power for all nations, and the hidden strength of your villages!" => NGH NINJA POLITICS. *__*
Bee: "Maybe, but I'm still an individual, with things I won't give up. Without those, I'm just another weapon for you to fire up." => ... NGH BEE. ♥♥♥♥♥ i forgive you everything ever.
bee!fist goes back from jinchuuriki paw to normal hand aww it's a little smaller than raikage's.
13. ... pff and now it's a REAL fistbump. *eyerolls a bit* XD
"Can you still read my mind whenever we bump fists, brother?"
CUE FLASHBACK.
Line of kids. Only one of them is black. Hmm, where, but where is Killerbee.
14. ... what? Raikage and Bee aren't blood siblings??? D: but but but BUT IT WAS SO YAY THAT SOMEONE FROM THE RAIKAGE'S FAMILY WAS MADE A JINCHUURIKI.
Also, wtf kishi about how you take the most random things and decide "i'll make them MEANINGFUL!!! via FLASHBACK to WEIRD RANDOM TRADITIONS!!!" Apparently the raikage is renamed A and his partner is renamed B, because they're partners in awesome. I guess that makes just as much sense as calling random people with alphabet letters. Guess that means C and J were also named for their power level? pff -- wait, what? The mark of being the raikage's partner is being able to do a double lariat with him?
... yeah, because that totally can't be achieved with just about any partner of the appropriate power range just by training to give the exact same impact strength and match timings. And because the mark of a real partner is the ability to do ONE technique that looks cool but might be exchanged with a hundred others for the same end result of dead decapitated enemies. Noo, it's a magical match-up tradition. Okay why not.
... BECAUSE IT'S STUPID IS WHY NOT. D:
*repeats to self, manga for kids, manga for kids, rule of cool trumps logic every day, maaaanga for kiiiiids...*
15. adult!raikage and kid!Bee are cute though.
"you'll start by bumping fists to balance out your power level, then hit the dummy with a double lariat!"
young!already angry!raikage: *proceeds to sweep all the kids off their feet. not in a good way. this has nothing to do with size and weight differences between a muscled twentysomething and a ten year old.*
"if he had an actual brother we wouldn't have to do this..."
I can't figure out why. Because a blood brother woud be magically well-matched in strength and timing? because the raikage would be able to implicitly trust him with his back? because he'd have automatically been chosen to host the tailed demon? because .... because??
16. tadahh they succeeded.
And then they bump fists oh god how young is Bee, he looks six or eight tops, he's all lost in his huge scarf.
"from today you and I are brothers! I'm glad we found you, B!"
In a way this is cute and d'aww, but I'm still kinda sad they're not blood brothers after all. ;__; I was assuming natural affection between siblings and now I'm starting to wonder about how much of their relationship and A's worry was because they'd lost his partner-weapon instead of his baby brother. Nyooo. T___T Maybe they only looked amongst orphans and then Bee went to live with A at his house and stuff! Maybe. T.T (maybe Bee was already the jinchuuriki before that match thing? i can't tell, will have to read back to check the baby Bee flashbacks to see if there are hints about the chronology.)

The theme naming thing was all right, but past A and B it's like... whuh? How do you determine these things? It's not as neat as the InoShikaCho earring thing.
We're supposed to get another flashback with those two tomorrow, looks like, so who's to say that A doesn't care about Bee legit like a little brother? I mean, family isn't all about blood...
no subject
Man, Land of Lightning, you have weird customs.
no subject
Can't we all just learn that trying to send Naruto away to protect him is not the best solution? Bee and Naruto are made of win right now, seriously. With this much win they cannot lose!
Am I the only one who continues worrying like "war! Oh no! Opportunities for somewhat well-liked characters to be hurt lots!" because I do, a lot.
no subject
I'm sorry, I just really want Gaara to fight his Daddy and everything else feels tedious. Though adorable Naruto's love for his Daddy <3

(Anonymous) 2011-06-02 05:21 am (UTC)(link)From what I remember, Gaara and his dad didn't have the best father/son relationship since his dad tried to kill him when he was little.

Obvious, ne?

I haven't read Naruto in ages. ;_; Too many loose storylines, my fragile heart cannot hope while simultaneously worrying about Team 7.
no subject
Tsunade does have one of her summons on her shoulder, so her chakra might be tied up communicating and healing people. Sure she could throw Naruto around but it would be a waste.
Also the technique that any one in the right power class and enough training could do it? "Enough training" is the key word. Meanwhile the technique proved Bee could judge how much power the Raikage had and was going to use after a fist bump and observing him a few times. With enough training he could anticipate so much more.
Lil Bee was adorable though, "YeeeaahhhBoooooy!"
I do get that you wish B was the angry black man's real flesh and blood, but Naruto already proves that the hidden villages will fuck anyone over regardless of blood.

Maybe C and J are specific roles? Like A is the Raikage-in-waiting, B is that person's partner, and C is the top sensor position?

re: splash page
We totally need moar plz!
...and haha, space issue, their year really was a total sausage fest eh?
no subject
The guys' side looks like a failed attempt at an orgy. That could in part be because I initially saw Neji holding Chouji's leg rather than indicating he shouldn't try to squeeze in, though XD Kinda disappointed by the lack on shenanigans on the girls' side, tbh. No InoSaku splash fight?
