Naruto 318

[Yukimura]

Well that confirms the monk isn't dead. There is absolutely no reason they would still have the body if it wasn't a plot device and the fact we never saw the battle of a character who's supposidly very important and powerful. Likely he put himself in a near death state in order to fool them being thats a monk like thing to do.

The money guy said there was a bounty on that monk, maybe they have to bring the whole body...the waistband would have been sufficient I think, so maybe they have a better reason. We'll see.

EDIT: Guess I should refesh more.
