I love how Uchihas get this amazing ability and then just know how to use this shit. I'd need at least ten minutes to orient myself, maybe a day to figure out how this shit works. Then again, it's awoken from battle, so I guess there isn't time for that.

God, Obito seems so fucking cool here, and then you realize what he does later.

I think this is the last time Naruto pulled off a really sneaky, intelligent strategy. After this it was just mostly brute force.

I don't know what any of us were expecting but kazekage wasn't it. I'm surprised he was able to attain that position; Naruto had to learn he couldn't achieve the title in order to gain everyone's recognition, but rather he needed everyone's recognition to achieve the title. Considering people at this point think Gaara's still going to go crazy at any moment, it's odd they selected him.

It's funny how people didn't know how to handle that term initially. Nowadays we'd just translate that line as "your opponent is a jinchuurki."

Greene, remind me to look this up for you to translate later because this shit didn't make sense ten years ago and it doesn't now.

Ohhhhh yeeeaaah, I forgot we couldn't figure out if Deidara was a boy or girl at first.

This is the same scan I read in high school, and it really fucked me up. Whoever the original scanner was did a horrible job. The editor tried his best, but clearly there wasn't much to work with. What's supposed to happen is Deidara mixes his clay spiders with Gaara's sand, and they then emerge from the inside of his cocoon. You can't see jack shit here, so I remained confused as to what happened until I bought the manga.

Kishimoto really likes this weird perspective shot, and sometimes it's effective but at times like this I don't see the point.

Oh wow, remember when everyone was hating on narutofan? Stoptazmo.com came from that. Man, even that site has downloads anymore.

Chiyo starts yelling at them for relying on the Leaf, and I totally agree with her. You have an entire nation of ninjas. Why the hell did you have to wait for three Leaf ninjas to show up before you do any action? Why do you need to send them out alone? Where are all of your dudes?

So each time they extract a bijuu, they just have to sit like that for three days? They can't do anything else? That's kinda insane. Even a sniper needs to stretch at some point.
