I agree with Konohamaru, I hope they don't waste an entire episode in reviving Gaara with the NEW POWER OF HOLDING HANDS!!!!!!!!11, but I think they will anyway. 'Cause we have Naruto once more imagining the entire fucking village behind him, Gaara crying in the desert and then Naruto looking Oh So Fondly at him and the entire vilage coming to rescue him.
Villager 1: SAY, we figured, y'know, we've been complete dicks to you for, uh, like 16 years -
Villager 2: He's only fifteen idiot.
Villager 1: Yeah, but I used to insult his mother too - so ANYWAY, we figured, now that you are demon free and have been brainwashed by the blonde idiot into being nice, we can pretend we were dicks and get along! Whaddaya say?
Gaara: I... SO SPECIAL! *cries*
Oh, and the flashbacks. Lets not forget the flashbacks! Naruto wouldn't be Naruto without "running in the woods while talking about stuff" flashbacks!!
Well, it was a boring chapter (except for page 17) but it was needed. Now the first "New Stage" arc is almopst finished (two more weeks, perhaps three) and perhaps the anime will stop doing fucking-bad fillers and animate Kakashi Gaiden.
And I'm glad Gaara's alive. Even if it would've been much more dramatic to keep him dead I liked him and even more so now that he was... I dunno, grown up? I liked his new character design, so what! Just... leave Chiyo dead. Please don't pull some "Since Naruto gave her his chakra she's not dead!!!11" crap.
Hopefully the next Akatsuki few wont die as stupidly as Deidara, who was cool but still shouldn't have exploded like that just yet.
