NARUTO 485

[elementalhero]

This is my second consecutive week reading without spoilers! AAAH.



Page 1

~rofl the chapter's title is "So Close, and Yet So Far." THIS WILL TURN OUT SO WELL, I CAN FEEL IT.
~.../sings Phil Collins
~and yet another title splash that the shippers are going to manip into SasuNaru icons and banners. I think Kishi does this on purpose.

Page 2

~HA HA HA HA HA HA OH MY GOD
~KAKASHI JUST PUNCHED SASUKE RIGHT IN THE FREAKING GUT
~LIKE, IT'S INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL
~/ded
~AND HE GOES FLYING UPWARD...
~but he gracefully bounds off the giant stone bridge architecture thing

Page 3

~and he lands, catlike, on the water. Pretty...
~RAAAAAAGH Sakura's like "Thank you, Naruto..." and it's so ugh PRETENDING THIS PANEL DOESN'T EXIST, GOOOOOOO
~Sasuke: "In case you forgot, I'm ex-Team 7." The masculine posturing in this dialogue, it oozes testosterone.

Page 4

~oh frig of course, I forgot Sakura doesn't know about Itachi, further disempowering her because she's the only one out of the loop. /digs out digital tequila for the genderfail party

Page 5

~Sasuke: NO ONE UNDERSTAAAAAANDS ME
~Sakura: STFU GOD I AM SICK OF YOUR WHINING

Page 6

~baaaw, the only way Sasuke can feel anything like happiness is by avenging and shit. This is sad. ;;
~on the other hand, THIS POSE IS PRIME SILLY ICON FODDER >D

Page 7

~I should be lolling, or mad, but this is just kind of tragic. I feel sadness and pity for this kid, really, he's just. so fucked up. WHY DOES NINJALAND HAVE NO THERAPISTS???
~they could be ninja therapists
~srsly though, this is very tragic and deconstructy for a kid's series, in all honesty
~and Kakashi understands him because Kakashi grew up in an ever worse period of shinobi history ;; /sobs forever
~Naruto: KAGE BUNSHIN POSE THAT ALWAYS PRECEDES EVERYTHING I DO!

Page 8

~KAKASHI TO THE RESCUE
~He wants to take responsibility for what he sees as his mistake. GOD THIS SERIES /sobs
~...wait why the hell would Sasuke be immune to poison THAT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO NOT LET SAKURA FIGHT HIM, KISHI. /GREAT ANGER

Page 9

~HAHAHA YEAH KARIN GAVE UP ON HIM \o/
~..........baaaaaw Karin gave up on him
~so my ship is now officially in smoking wreckage AWESOME, GUYS. :|b
~sexy pose, though
~OH MAN NARUTO what stupid thing are you about to do

Page 10

~NARUTO YOU IDIOT
~Sakura, why are you yelling instead of fighting him off Kakashi- you know what, asking is only going to depress me more. /tequila!

Page 11

~THEMES AND SHIT
~It's funny, you know, if not for the massacre, they each easily might have turned out like the other.
~why do they always attack each other the same bloody way??? THIS HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME.

Page 12-13

~dude, it's like....having a flashback...except the manga wasn't depressing back then....or less so, anyway.

Page 14

~.......wait what is going on.
~NO REALLY, THIS IS JUST. SILLY.

Page 15

~dude, this is cute and all, but if it's this easy I'm going to punch a hole into the next dorm.

Page 16

~...wait, I know what this is! It's a...

CARE BEAR STARE

~haha it didn't work

Page 17

~Sasuke, you should know by now that giving Naruto ultimata never works out in the end.

THE END.


Honestly, not sure how I feel yet. Talk to me in a couple of hours.

If I pretend Sakura isn't there at all because she's saving the whales this chapter is like 29834902384 better.

I kind of want to make some sort of paper mache creation with nothing but Sasuke's narm quotes. Dear god is he getting worse each chapter.

THE UCHIHA ARE AS PURE AS THE DRIVEN SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
OR THEY WILL BE

ONCE I KILL EVERYONE WHO EVER KNEW ANY OF THEM.

I kind of want to make some sort of paper mache creation with nothing but Sasuke's narm quotes. Dear god is he getting worse each chapter.

And he keeps doing it in that ridiculous SCARY FONT OF SCARYNESS which just makes it look narmier. I keep waiting for him to say "MINE IS AN EVIL LAUGH!"

[digthenym.livejournal.com]

LMAO THE FONT. THE FOOOOOOOONT WITH ITS JAGGED EDGESSSSSSSSS rofl oh man now I am imagining Sasuke playing with dolls a la Darth Helmet XDDDD

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

That font is like... if "Crawling In My Skin" was turned into a font, that font would be it.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

o-omfg

NO, NO DARK HELMET! AND YET...I FIND MYSELF STRANGELY ATTRACTED TO YOU...

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I KNOW RIGHT

OBVIOUSLY THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS TO KILL EVERYONE


/curls up with Sasuke-back-when-he-made-any-sense and sobs

[ironyaficionado.livejournal.com]

Karin did indeed go all Rihanna on him.

RIP THE SHIP

OBLIGATORY ICON POST!

On the one hand, Sakura is still Kishimoto's punching bag. *drinks your tequila*

On the other hand, GAY NINJAS ARE GAYYYYY! :D

~KAKASHI JUST PUNCHED SASUKE RIGHT IN THE FREAKING GUT
~LIKE, IT'S INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL

I LOVED THAT OH MANNNN ;__; SO BEAUTIFUL *insert Gai tears here*

~...wait why the hell would Sasuke be immune to poison THAT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO NOT LET SAKURA FIGHT HIM, KISHI. /GREAT ANGER

PRETTY MUCH, YES. >:|

~why do they always attack each other the same bloody way??? THIS HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME.

Because underneath all the gay and the angst and the friendship speeches and the rah rah ninja action, Naruto and Sasuke are both really really dumb. Sad but true.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

/yay tequila

They are! Seriously, they are just. so dumb. It's ridic.

Where's Madara? It's been four chapters and I miss him already ;;

YOU CALLED?

So, I know it was a ship you loved, but, in a an otherwise gender!fail filled section of the story here.... Karin is the very first woman in the entire series who has gotten over a man or changed her feelings. For real.

Tsunade's Dan died, so that doesn't count. Sakura and Ino both still love Sasuke (or, well, Ino was crying so we unfortunately have to assume something there.) and Hinata is still waiting for a freaking answer from Naruto (she needs to reads that book "He's Just Not That Into You." It would tell her what answer no answer really is.)

So while it took said man running her through and then picking a fight with the medic working to save her, I really applaud Karin.

You deserve better, Karin. Go find Suigetsu. He's bringing sexy back Storm Trooper style.

[the-sun-is-up.livejournal.com]

Damn. I didn't think of it that way, but you are totally right. Also she's the only person, male or female, that I can remember, who got over Sasuke specifically, which is another big accomplishment since he's Mr. Gary-Stu Uke-Bait whom the entire cast swoons over.

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, and I GENUINELY AM REALLY CRAZY HAPPY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I LOVE KARIN WITH A FLAME THAT BURNS BRIGHTER THAN STARS, but all the same, it hurts a tiny bit insiiiiiiide.

BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, KARIN IS STILL ALIVE AND SHE JUST DUMPED SASUKE.

THIS IS ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS.

THE RECORD BOOKS OF AWESOME THINGS.

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

I just gotta say. You know what makes this all better? THE LULZ. AND YOU HAVE BROUGHT THEM. Of course, the ridiculous chapter had me giggling too, but this post? In stitches. XDDD

[okroginator.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I haven't seen you around in a while, it's good to chat it up again :D

/spams you with SILLY ICON

[tsukara.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've been lurking about, but yeah. ♥ If I'd known modding was going to eat my internet life like this.... I still would have gone with it. |D

YAY SILLY SAUCE. He's just, like, taking levels in ridiculous because he maxed out in wangst lately, isn't he?
