I forgot Tayuya could summon these guys. I thought summoned beasts were animals, not creepy fuckers with chakra-absorbing ghosts. Man, signing that contract probably required more than blood.

Wouldn't that hurt him too though? Like, Kiba stabbing himself had an averse effect, so I'm assuming destroying Kiba's proteins and crap would do the same.

This moment was completely surprising for me because we as readers hadn't made as much connection with Kiba. Everyone else on the team, including Chouji, we've gotten a better grasp on their personality and back story more than Kiba. The most screen time he's gotten is his fight with Naruto. So I didn't expect him to be capable of thinking of this move, and that he'd do it immediately without deliberation.

Okay, props to Shikamaru, he's smart as shit, but I'm sorry. It's not that impressive to figure out your flute is what's controlling these fuckers.

Sasuke, you fucking drama queen. Also, how did he know where to go? It's not like he knows the location of Orochimaru's base. Unless that barrel somehow gave him that information.

I remember screaming with delight when I came to this page, so much my dad came downstairs to find out what was wrong.

I don't think I've ever heard someone of our age say "Dutch courage" aloud. It's nice to know even non-official translations employ odd phrases. Also, points for using Dutch courage completely incorrectly.

This is the same chapter as above, so I'm assuming it's the same translator who doesn't know what he's doing. Who is the we in "our?" There's Tayuya. Also, after being hit by a skilled attack, who in the world thinks, "She is my destined enemy." You'd say, "She's hard to beat." It's making me wonder whether the translator is even a native English speaker. Although people complain about stuff like "Valentine Technique," and they rightfully should, it's not like fan shit is always accurate either.

Jesus fuck, Kiba, you have every right to have that expression. Christ, that was horrifying. And Kankurou is, what, fourteen at the time?

I've seen varying opinions of Kishimoto's simplistic art style, but you have to give props to his backgrounds. That man does not skimp on it, which I've seen plenty of mangaka do.
