Allow me to start with one of my favorite chapters. Chapter 437: Confession
I will start by saying Hinata Hyuuga is one of my favorite female characters in the series. She has been a favorite of mine for years now, before Naruto even came to the states. This chapter is something I am sure many Hinata/NaruHina fans have been waiting for a very long time, and it finally happened! Hinata really surprised me. She displayed such determination, strength and poise. I was happy for her, despite how short her fight lasted in the manga, (luckily in the anime version, an entire episode was dedicated to her, which makes up for the chapter for me).
Did anyone else notice Hinata only has one eye activated? Haha.
Makes me wonder did Kishimoto do this on purpose or merely forgot to draw it.
XD
Hinata fans all rejoice in her FINALLY confessing to Naruto after years of waiting! I could not be happier. The look on Naruto’s face when she confessed was priceless. Sometimes, I do wonder if Naruto was possibly thinking if Hinata meant, “I love you” as a friend or “I love you” as in I love you. Who really knows what was going on in his mind because Naruto has YET to reply to Hinata’s confession. Do not get me wrong. I understand that everyone is in the middle of a war, but Naruto has had chances to speak to Hinata. Heck, even a courtesy ‘thank you for saving’ would have even sufficed. However, no, Naruto acted as if Hinata had not confessed anything, which irks me so much. Dx The girl emerged herself in courage to save the boy she is in love with, fought Pain/Nagato, confessed her love for him and nearly died!
Like seriously Naruto, did you suffer some sort of amnesia?
Y U NO SAY NOTHING TO HINATA? >O
I guess the only thing us anxious fans can do is to wait until the war is over with to see what happens. I hope that by then we will get our answer.
Now let us move onto chapter 515: The Wars Begins. This chapter was the introduction to all the characters that were dead and brought back to life. You may think that well, “What could have bugged her about this chapter?” Well, allow me to tell you by showing you this picture.
Do you see that character standing on the far left hand side? You can barely make out who he is besides the headband tie on the back of his head and the black/dark colored hair. For months, I have been wondering if this character could possibly be Obito Uchiha. There could be dozen of possibilities that it is not him, but I have a slight suspicion that it is him. I know that Obito’s body was crushed by a few boulders, and that would probably would make him a pancake. Despite that minor/major point, I still believe that it could be Obito.
Now it comes down to the one question: Why would it be Obito? There could be a few reasons why it could be him. The main reason why Kabuto could have revived him because he may know that Kakashi’s eye may have come from his teammate. What better way to get to Kakashi by bringing back an old teammate/friend from his childhood, the person who changed him into the person he is today? I will admit I can see Kabuto bringing back Obito more so than bringing back Rin. Mainly because Obito plays a more influential role to Kakashi, than what Rin did. It is like another version of Sasuke and Naruto to me in a way.
I am actually hoping that is Obito, just so I can see Kakashi’s reaction to seeing him again
I had not thought of this choice until someone mentioned it to me, but there is a chance that it could also be Nawaki. Now, I could be completely wrong mostly because of his bright colored hair. I have never seen him in the manga before, so I am not sure how his hair is colored. Could it be light like Naruto or dark like Sasuke? I would not know, but I should find out.
Tsunade already suspected that Dan could have been brought back to life, so who knows. However, I am sticking to Obito until Kishimoto proves me wrong. XD
Now, let us move onto another scene that bothered me in the manga. Kishimoto has a habit where he starts something and leaves his readers hanging for months on edge on what happened. For example, look at these two scenes.
We have yet to figure out what happened after those scenes. A few chapters later Kakashi is seen, but we do not know exactly what happened during his so-called “rampage”. I have always wanted to see Kakashi unleashed, but not once has he been seen cutting loose and really going for it. If he is about to, someone or something always stops him from finalizing his attack. This could have been our moment to see Kakashi really fighting. It makes me wonder will Kishimoto ever do a flashback of what happened.
Then there is the Hyuuga brother’s fight that I was dying to see, which barely was seen. Kishimoto used to put so much emphasis on the Hyuuga clan, yet everything is always focused on the Uchiha clan. No offense, but sometimes I get a little tired of hearing about the Uchiha clan. I want to learn more about the Hyuuga clan and just for once, I would love to see their clan be in the spotlight. I am really hoping Kishimoto does a flashback (as much as I hate them) just so I can know what happened with Kakashi’s fight and Hiashi’s fight with his brother. I wanted Neji to see his father and to be able to see his reaction, but…I guess we have to either wait or never find out.
I am still wondering what Karin did to Sasuke without him knowing, apparently Suigetsu knows, and Kishimoto has been asked about it, but will not reveal it.
She either kissed him or did something weird.
Either way I am not a Sasuke x Karin, Sasuke x Sakura, Sasuke x Ino…let’s just say I only like Sasuke with one person.

Yes, I am a SasuHina fan.
Speaking of Sasuke let me talk about him for a while. Sasuke has really turned…well. He is literally insane in the membrane to me right now. I understand that he has been through a lot in his life, but come on. It took Shikamaru, what, a few days to get over his revenge and it has taken Sasuke years? Someone needs to take some notes from Shikamaru. I can see why Sasuke is the way he is and sometimes I can sympathize with his characters, but come on Sasuke, really. It is not that serious to want to kill everyone in Konoha. I could see if he just focused his anger on Danzou. However, he still is not satisfied and wants more revenge. He is letting his rage control him and now he is lost deep in darkness. You could see the wheels turning in his during the incident with Karin/Sakura, when he attempted to kill them both.
“I finally… I finally got my first bit of revenge for Itachi… it’s like the disgrace of the Uchiha clan is being cleansed. Like I’m separating the Uchiha clan from the rotten ninja world. You might even say it’s what Konoha always wanted. You always repudiated the Uchiha clan, so now we will disappear from your memories just like you always wanted. When I kill everyone in Konoha! By severing the bond, we will be purified! That will be the true revival of the Uchiha clan!” – Sasuke Uchiha
“If you think I’m just a foolish kid ruled by his emotions, that’s fine. Following Itachi’s path would be childish, the whispering of fools who don’t know hatred. If anyone else tries to ridicule the way I live, I’ll slaughter everyone they ever cared about. And then maybe they’ll understand what it’s like to taste… a little of my hatred.” – Sasuke Uchiha
Yeah, Sasuke has really changed. At this point, I honestly think the only person who would have a chance changing his path is Itachi. I know Itachi left Sasuke up to Naruto, but come on, you know Itachi and Sasuke are bound to run into each other, and what do you know? The two Uchiha brothers crossed paths, in the recent Naruto chapter 575.
I really hope that Itachi tries to talk Sasuke out of what he is doing. I would be mad if Itachi sees Sasuke and continued on his own path. Naruto has already tried talking to Sasuke plenty of times before. I think Itachi is one of the only people who could calm Sasuke down. However, the fight between Sasuke and Naruto is bound to happen regardless if Sasuke tones his behavior down or not. In my honest opinion, I think that the Sasuke vs. Naruto fight will come before another big fight, possibly Naruto vs. Kabuto. Kabuto to me is the true villain of the series. Maybe after Naruto and Sasuke’s fight they would team up together to fight someone else, because I highly doubt Naruto will die (I mean, come on, if he dies what is the use of the series being called Naruto anymore?) I used to think Sasuke would die…I am still on the fence about it now. Someone probably will die from the rookie nine, if someone did, my guess would be between Sasuke or Sakura. I could be wrong though…@o@
I could have continued on about other things, but I’ll end it here and save the rest for another entry.
