Reading this shit is getting physically painful by this point.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Obito, you didn't have to take it there.

As creepy as Zetsu is, it's hard to believe he was so poo-centered originally.

Kakashi got his mangekyou from Rin's death? Why the hell wasn't he using it all along then against Zabuza, Itachi, and shit? The way it suddenly appeared after the time skip, I thought he'd acquired it during then.

Kakashi has a dog wall? Kick ass.

Didn't know "shinobi alliance jutsu" is a thing, but okay.

You know, if I had to pick one person who out of that chuunin exam wasn't going to make it to the end of the series, I wouldn't think it'd be Neji. It's kinda depressing that the last time he shone was during that fight with Kidoumaru. That was so many years ago (Jesus Christ, back in high school...) that our nostalgia for him almost faded by this point. He was a really big thing back in the day, kinda like byakugan itself, but it all fell to the background along with everything else we liked about the series.

This quasi-arc talking about the village's foundation is the last time I felt excitement reading Naruto, and when it's over I know it's gonna be hell to the end.
