wow, such an pointless chapter...

"you can't go"
"yes we can, and we ain't gonna stop just becuase you say it's dangerous"
"no, I meant that you can't go without taking another member of the village to meet his own demise"
"Oh, that kind of 'you can't go'.."
"excatly. and just to make sure, i'm sending in another duo of ninjas to help you around"
"didn't you say that we need four-men teams to go out on missions?"
"Screw the rules, I have breasts"


honestly, they even managed to wreak an Ibiki appearence, which was supposed to be impossible to do, next thing we know is that the head trader will ask for a lawyer while Ibiki and Anko play good cop/ bad cop with him...
and while we're at the scene of akatsuki.. can't they show us something usefull from time to time, I could've figured by myself that the baddies have taken complete care of the two-tailes already.. after all, she was taken in about four months ago...
