Naruto 574 XDDDD-b

As the sporfling smiley indicates, I enjoyed it.



previous chapters: Okay, I've been rather bored by the Adorable Antics of the Baby Tailed Beasts to be honest. In one hand that was cute, in the other hand kyuubi being cute refuses to compute in my head, and i'm a bit :/ at Kishi thinking every single person in his world can be a good guy deep down, just with a shitty history. I mean, maybe if it was a little farther down! But the Kyuubi redemption thing was dealt with in like a couple chapters, and now he's at most mildly gruff.

Though gruff is okay. I like gruff, too.

I also liked the collective thoughts of the Konoha 11 rushing to get to where Naruto is. Fly like the wind, people! Naruto is almost done without you, but maybe he'll EEEEE SASUKE.


1. Oh my god. XD Subtitle: "love is eternal...!?" I love that little startled/doubtful interrobang considering the page. XDDD Panel one: Karin squeeing about Sasuke at the height of her fangirly glee. Panel two, karin snarling with shark teeth bared at same Sasuke. Panel three... etcetera.

She's trying to stomp on a little book thing she drew Sasuke's face on, but apparently can't bring herself to. All page long it goes back and forth, back and forth...


2. Two of her guards are watching her and WTFing over it. One of them wants to know why the hell she has that book in her possession in the first place, other guard says she'd get violent if they tried to take it and when she has it she's more manageable. they're making faces like she's really embarrassing them and/or they don't know what to make of her and are privately WTFing a bit.

Meanwhile Karin, back turned to them, makes a srs face and takes off her glasses. Ohoho, the branch of her glasses is now a miniature saw and that adorable little book with the Sasuke portrait turns out to be full of lockpicks and other small tools. I have a feeling she won't stay in prison very long!

=> Karin is awesome. Playing up the fangirly/moody aspect of her personality to make people underestimate her and distract attention from how she's planning her escape. Yeeeah, that makes the "...!?" thing even more hilarious in retrospect. XD


3. Meanwhile Suigetsu and Juugo have found this here hideout. Woo snake head gate.
Juugo isn't feeling well. Sui is all "will he go crazy soon" and "i'm the only normal one in this group!"
Juugo: Okay I know why I'm here in this group and I know why Karin is here, but why are YOU? Not just to cockblock Karin and Sasuke, is it?

YES, THAT'S TOTALLY IT. HE WANTS THEM BOTH TO HIMSELF. c'mon sui, a sandwich is good too. u.u


4. Sui: *makes awesome AHAHAHA crazyface* because i can't resist the urge to cockblock!!!
Juugo: ... jsyk you're not normal either.
Sui: *hmph*
Juugo: *goes BWAHAHA crazy and goes for a punch*

oh team hebitaka. never stop being cracky, please. ♥♥


5. sui: *is water*
juugo: *oops went right through you and into the wall!*
sui: *starts drowning juugo making a FUCK THAT NOISE angryface* (pffff)
Wall: *crumbles


6. IT WAS A SECRET OROCHIMARU LAB.
I have a feeling Suigetsu is now going to make Juugo punch every wall they ever get near to, just because there could be a secret lab in it. Yep, that'd be the kind of douchey thing he'd do. ♥

... Suigetsu has Found A Scroll. Oho.


7. suigetsu: *half a page of OMG!!!! hyping face* omg that orochimaru! this could be used to take control of the war????!!!???!!

that's what I like with Kishi, sometimes he's WAY predictable about how shit'll go down, and then out of seemingly nowhere he'll have a curveball flying in that shakes up things.

Sui: this could be a good present for Sasuke! I'll forgive you, Juugo. *pockets scroll*

... oh suigetsu who doesn't know sasuke ditched them like an asshole. sure as hell sasuke won't tell him before it's time to ruthlessly use them again. ;__;


8. zetsus: *have found sasuke!!* what are you doing heeeerre. D:
sasuke: :D NO REASON I FELT LIKE BEING WET AND SEXY. also i passed by two town and they're both empty! weird huh, you wouldn't know anything about that or ... anything, right? :D
zetsus: STFU AND GO BACK TO YOUR BEDROOM MISTER
sasuke: can't make me nananananana.


9. zetsus: "you... could it be that you killed our original???"
Uhh who killed whiteblack zetsu again, I forgot. Unless they mean something/someone else that was hidden away in that giant underground cave with the weird first-hokage-and-yamato wall.
sasuke: *atomic flowergan!*
zetsus: *predictably rush en masse*


10. Susanoo armor + neat little separate bursts of flame. Oh man, this seems tailor-made to go against Naruto's bunshins. D:

11. zetsus: *predictably burn*
Sasuke: *picks up one of them* *mindfucks for intel lalala*
oh yeah he can do that now. Good job Sasuke, big brother would be proud! :D

12. zetsu: =___= we have to seize naruto blahblah...
sasuke: *flashbacks to his and naru-chan's last meeting* *eye-colsed creepily sweet smile *flashback to valley of the end*

13. *some more naruto flashbacks hahaha strength comes from losing your bonds did you forget that naruto hahaha!*

14. yep, i'm gonna go to naruto too and kill all of 'em konoha bastards. *beheads zetsu!*

15. *kills one more escaping zetsu lol* *makes creepyhohohoface about how he's getting used to those eyes and how awesome they are, niisan~*

16. here, have a one page of closer and closer views of sasuke's sharingan while he mutters things about his brother's eyes seeing the things he's doing but really he wants his brother to look at him idgi the translation isn't the most precise.


17.And now that we're done with "sasuke has refined his overkill godmode to go against naruto and his crazy is still as crazy as ever!!!" we enter the last pages of the chaptOH MY GOD ITACHI

ITAZOMBIECHI

AND SASUKE

ON THE SAME PAGE

DOING THE "CLOSEUP ON SASUKE ZOOM OUT AND TADAHH IT'S ITACHI" THING

"THE CHANCE OF A MEETING APPROACHES!!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!

oh god yes please. I don't think Sasuke can really go less insane before naruto fixes him so likely this encounter with the zombie will just have sasuke enter full denial over this fake not-his-real-brother thing and be even more furious at naruto, only for something itachi said prove to be a chink in his armor for naruto to exploit...! still, I CANNOT WAIT. The Uchiha brothers to heartbreak so beautifully.



Saro: Karin is the most fabulous.
Askerian: yeah, man XD
Saro: MOST FABULOUS.
Askerian: YES.
Askerian: and maybe itachi sasuke meetingfightfixing???
Saro: I kind of wonder how much of her crazy was for show. On the one hand, it seemed to work well for her. She's being KUNOICHI about things.
Saro: On the other hand.
Saro: ...She is pretty crazycakes.
Saro: I guess maaaybe. idk. I trust Kishimoto, but I'm not entirely sure what Itachi and Sasuke meeting can aaaaadd to things at this point. They've already fought, and it seems like you can't fix Sasuke until he's faced Naruto.
Askerian: yeah but. brothersssss
Saro: XD
Saro: Yeah. And like I said, I trust Kishimoto enough at this point to imagine there's SOMETHING in mind.
Saro: I'm just not sure what it is, since both fighting and fixing seem redundant. I suppose there's always BREAKING SASUKE MORE?
Askerian: :-D that'd also be neat!
Saro: You can never have too much of that.
Askerian: i mean. it's not like he can be broken WORSE without going catatonic, but he could be broken in even shinier patterns???
Saro: XDDD
Saro: idk, if there's ANYONE who can get worse without completely losing his grip on reality, it's Sasuke. XD
Saro: But.
Saro: I do have to wonder how this will affect his relationship with Tobi. :|a
Saro: Not that it was GREAT to start with.
Saro: But.
Askerian: *_*
Saro: It is a thing.
Askerian: *purrs on*
Askerian: also suigetsu is such a dick XDDD
Saro: XDDD
Saro: Suigetsu is fabulous okay.
Askerian: yes. he really is.
Saro: Taka or Hebi or WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLING THEMSELVES, they're hilarious to me. They're like evil team 7.
Askerian: ... XDD ahahahaha yes
Askerian: wait, evil sasuke? wouldn't that mean sasuke is juugo, since he's usually nice? XD
Saro: :|a
Saro: And Sasuke has become evil Kakashi? 8(a
Askerian: ahahaha
Askerian: actually both juugo and suigetsu are like evil narusasu children
Askerian: juugo is nice like naruto and flips out into murdermode like sasuke, and suigetsu is vicious like sasuke, and really happy about it and enjoying the hell out of it. XD
Saro: XD
Saro: They're all kind of filtered through Sasuke, in a way? Like Karin's attitude and amoralness too...
Askerian: yeah. oh, sasuke is a bad sensei. u.u
Askerian: i wonder how a team seven filtered through naruto would be
Saro: .....XD
Saro: A GOOD QUESTION.
Saro: (...Karin actually kind of looks like Sakura + Sasuke + glasses.)
Askerian: pfff yes
Askerian: their kid from the future???
Askerian: so this is a sailormoon/mamoru/chibiusa situation. XD
Saro: ...
Saro: PFFFF
Saro: Make a fan comic of that some day.
Askerian: :D
book_people: Play? (Default)

When Suigetsu walks into a room, MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" starts playing. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise. u.u

Oh my goooooooood ItaSasu meeting! *_* I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. I'm thinking it's probably going to mostly be Sasuke going "you let me win, but now I am even stronger and can fight you properly, fight me so I can kill you again and therefore prove that I can avenge you because that makes sense in my crazy, cracked little mind." and Itachi going "...oh god, Naruto has his work cut out for him... ;_; *luffs little brother anyway*," but I live in hope. u.u Maybe Itachi will say something that gets Sasuke thinking, and Naruto can finish the job? At least, this might be how Kishimoto decides he's going to end the inevitable NaruSasu fight without them both dying...

...Why is it not next week yet? *stares at clock*

[identity profile] lordryous.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Was most definitely a different pace, though I cant say i was excited or not with all the Sasuke being Sasuke. Im just not a Sasuke fan. Though Itachi intro does have me itching for it to happen.

Plus I love me some Suigetsu ^^

Lol Karin...

What im really Squeeing over tho is Minato Fight, OMG epicsauce, the two newest episodes, I was totally weeping during half of the last one.

Why cant Naruto learning the Flying Raijin.... He fucking teleported a bijuu blast, could just imagine what Naruto could do against Amaterasu.

Speaking of which, now that I think about it, your right. The newest Susano'o power does seem quite a bit tailor made to deal with clones. I have to wonder if possibly Sasuke really does fear/respect Naruto enough to actually take his power seriously, cause the last time he actually saw Naruto, the jinchuriki was way way weaker.

I guess time will tell, they need to fucking beat Madara clone so Naruto and Sasuke can finally have their showdown.

and Hinata was totally having Hentai thoughts as she ran towards Naruto with the rest of the gang

Team seven filtered through Naruto...?

Naruto sensei: YAY KAGE BUNSHIN REDEEMING PEOPLE THROUGH BEATING THE CRAP OUTTA THEM! COME MY STUDENTS WE HAVE A TOTALLY AWESOME MISSION!
Sakura: Squee hot bad guy BEAT HIM UP AND HE'LL TOTALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH ME.
Sasuke: More of me = more of me getting stronger to beat my nemesis to a pulp and discover it wasn't his fault somehow. KAGE BUNSHIN KAGE BUNSHIN KAGE BUNSHIN *chakra exhaustion*
Kakashi: .... *totally copies Oiroke no Jutsu and Harem no Jutsu* *disappears for the next fifty chapters*

I loved this chapter, thanks for writing on it! I've also been a bit meh about previous chapters... though I liked the Konoha 11 bit too.

But seriously. Karin. And Suigetsu and Juugo. And Sasuke. And ITACHI. I am SO PUMPED and hope Kishi doesn't just go back to Naruto and co, but has the next chapter be Sasuke and ITACHI!

[identity profile] garmiet.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Naruto is almost done without you, but maybe he'll EEEEE SASUKE.

OH GOD YES! ♥♥♥

I was thinking at the same time that it was just another reminder to the readers to not forget about him, BUT I DIDN'T CARE! ^_^


I have a feeling Suigetsu is now going to make Juugo punch every wall they ever get near to, just because there could be a secret lab in it.

XDDDD Oh god, that'd be hilarious.


God, I love the way you keep cutting yourself off whenever Itachi or Sasuke enter the scene. XDD

I personally don't know if Sasuke can become MORE insane. But I guess it's possible. I still think it's possible for him to become less insane, but it's unlikely. POSSIBLE, THOUGH. RIGHT? RIGHT?!? =D


The way things are going, I'm pretty sure that if Sasuke and Itachi meet, it might just make things worse. Seems like every time something new comes up with Sasuke, he just gets worse.

Y'know, maybe your right. Maybe he CAN get more insane. I wonder what the line is....


They're like evil team 7.

XDDD ♥ That's an awesome description. Sounds great for a userpic.

[identity profile] luvsanime02.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I loved the chapter, but I love your notes even more, lmao XD

SASUKE AND ITACHI!!!! I'm looking forward to more breakthecutie here :3

BTW, I found it very interesting that Sasuke called him Tobi, and not Madara. Did he know Tobi wasn't actually Uchiha Madara all along? :O

Ibiki needs to get his people to stop being so complacent around Karin! She's pretty good at making them drop their guards.

-9. zetsus: "you... could it be that you killed our original???"
Uhh who killed whiteblack zetsu again, I forgot. Unless they mean something/someone else that was hidden away in that giant underground cave with the weird first-hokage-and-yamato wall.-

Blackie was chopped in half by Chojuro (though I don't think is dead), but whitehalf was the one Sasuke butchered after waking up.

[identity profile] q99.livejournal.com 2012-02-18 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
He definitely susano'o sworded *some* Zetsu upon wakeup.

-yeah seriously, does he hire no one but academy dropouts or what? DX She was working with sasuke ffs, she must have been at least mildly competent in SOME way for him to tolerate her, that's got to mean something! gah.-

He even told some of 'em to not fall for the victim routine earlier!

I mean, I can sorta see her being low priority and the guards going light on her- after all, she was betrayed by her old boss and probably doesn't have anywhere to go if she did escape- but that's too much slack.

[identity profile] sohaliatalitha.livejournal.com 2012-02-16 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Auuugh I am SO BEHIND on Naruto, but this makes me want to pick it back up again so BADLY. It sounds like it's really starting to get intersting again :S

I'd like to bring to the table that Tem 7 filtered through Naruto is possibly Konohamaru's team? Just a thought :3

Thanks for always doing your updates, it makes me happy that I can just about keep up without having to slog through the manga!

/In one hand that was cute, in the other hand kyuubi being cute refuses to compute in my head, and i'm a bit :/ at Kishi thinking every single person in his world can be a good guy deep down, just with a shitty history./ <-- this. My thoughts exactly in just two lines, ILU. *-* I thought I was the only one who didn't go "chibi-kyuubi so cuute~"

I rejoiced so much for the long-awaited Sasuke screentime, but that atomic flowergun design...xD; siiigh. I miss Sasuke when he wanted to acquire power on his own but was still righteous/soft. Killing doesn't suit him, he scares me lately :/

Sui: this could be a good present for Sasuke! I'll forgive you, Juugo. *pockets scroll*

... oh suigetsu who doesn't know sasuke ditched them like an asshole. sure as hell sasuke won't tell him before it's time to ruthlessly use them again. ;__;

^ They'll probably forgive him for it or suigetsu and juugo will at least. Sasuke's ability to keep his harem is strong indeed. :D

Speaking of Hebi, the dub has released a bunch of episodes ending just as Jiraiya leaves for his fight with Pain.

I honestly like Suigetsu's dub voice more than the original, you can really tell his VA had a ton of fun voicing him and I swear he was even cattier xD

[identity profile] tarou.livejournal.com 2012-02-17 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
An interesting little Taka scene by Mannmaruu. (http://tegaki.pipa.jp/629878/21407780.html) I especially like the way Suigetsu holds Karin in that picture - at least a dash of UST in the air.

[identity profile] questofdreams.livejournal.com 2012-02-17 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, this seems tailor-made to go against Naruto's bunshins.

Oh hell, that didn't even occur to me xD I've sort of given up making theories. I'm just enjoying the ride at this point. BUT I AM SO EXCITED FOR AN UCHIHABROTHERFEST <3
