Anyone been keeping up with the Naruto manga lately? Oh, and did you guys know that in every Naruto manga volume release (since volume 22), Kishimoto draws a character created by a fan in his own style? The characters are not cannon, nor do they have any connection with the story, but they’re just really awesome gifts from Kishimoto to his fans You can find the drawings at this link here: www.likenaruto.com/the-original-fan-made-naruto-characters/Some of them are really awesome! I wish I could send him one of my Naruto OC's xD

Yeah, I'm very on and off with Naruto. I used to keep up with it very regularly, but I fall out of the habit pretty easily now.
I've read the last few chapters though, and ooooh my goodness....my brain hurts xD KISHIMOTO WTF R U DOING?!

I used to look daily, but now it's like every three weeks. Though I did catch a few awesome new chapters that were badass.

Wow, completely missed this thread's creation.
I'm happy that we're getting all of this backstory about Obito and how he came to this. We also finally got the explanation as to why Nagato was the one to obtain the Rinnegan and why Obito claimed they were his.
I just want to get back to the fight too. We now have Madara and Obito vs. Naruto and Bee with full control of their tailed beasts and Kakashi and Gai as backup. The stalling is necessary but I'm getting anxious too, lol.

I don't know if anyone will read the last couple of chapters, but holy shit I am so upset right now. Kishimoto needs to stop killing my favorite characters.

Ah, you're talking about the Juubi's last attack huh? Tactically smart move but considering that so far we've only had the nameless fill that spot it was bound to happen at some point.

Lately I've just been looking at the pretty pictures in other words skimming. I mean seriously I spent nearly two months waiting for this battle and what do I get most of the kick ass characters dying like they are nothing. It seems like they are trying to squeeze all they can out of these chapters and if they are doing it with this battle I hate to see what they do with the one between Naruto and Sasuke

True but there are two main battles that need to end it all. This is the first and it has to be major considering what's all involved. It wouldn't feel nearly as threatening if it was only the nameless were dieing. It's just like war movies, you don't care as much if an extra is caught in a blast but it gets emotional and moving when a main character does. Especially if he gets a few more seconds to spout out a line of reminiscence. The Naruto/Sasuke fight will be a personal one between just them so it's consequences will be far more limited when you think of who's the winner and who's the loser. At worst Konoha would be destroyed, and while that would be a blow to the world as a whole it's still only a blip as time goes on. So while he is killing several of the characters off I feel it's kinda needed. Besides, Neji saving both Hinata and Naruto has quite a bit of meaning to it as well. So in that situation it makes the most sense. Not to mention I think the NaruHina supporters will be half-enjoying that scene, lol. But I'm slowing thinking that there's a possibility of a repeat of Pain's ending in this battle. At this point I seriously hope that it isn't but especially after Obito's line about Madara being under his whims I can't get it out of my head. And if he's done it once, it can happen again... But considering Obito isn't apart of the Senju clan I doubt that he has enough power over the eye to pull it off on that large of a scale anways. Sara - As much therapy as you might want, I doubt you'll find much in Naruto for a while. It's going to be like this for a while. Might be best to start another series for a while to calm that inner fangirl X-D

Lol definitely xD I understand that characters need to die in order for a story about a ninja war to be realistic, but at this point I'm sick of the realism. I generally read fiction to escape reality, not get beat over the head with the hard facts of life. This whole war arc has been driving me nuts since day one. Naruto was a series that used to have a pretty good balance of realism and fantasy, but now I think it's just getting a bit ridiculous. Asuma, Jiraiya, Neji, Minato, Kushina, Shikaku, Ao, Inoichi, Hiruzen, Itachi, Konan - all of these really good characters are dead and I don't believe all of those deaths were necessary. I agree that Neji's death was meaningful and he certainly didn't die in vain, but it was just so....random. Like, to me it felt like he just appeared and died out of no where. Totally threw me for a loop and ruined my morning, lol.

My favorite Naruto character is Jiraiya.
I don't care if he died, I want him back in the manga.
I don't like Naruto, but Jiraiya made it tolerable.

The munchkin in me wants to say Madara but in the end I have to say Itachi. Always like illusions, and he was considered one of the best at them, but what made him go above the rest was more the fact that he had so many layers to himself that in the end nobody truly figured him out.
Aly - What, are you talking about all the deaths that we were talking about?
