This past chapters, focussing on Shikamaru, have been of the best I've seen on this manga. Kishimoto actually has to think to make clever scenes, instead of the classic punch-kick-block (its all in the mind!)
Naruto is half-way done with his 'new' jutsu. Hopefully it wond be a Rasengan shield or something dumb.
Great chapter.
If Hidan gets outta this one I swear I'm quitting this manga.
i bet he does and you won'tOriginally Posted by jing
so 50% created that enormous crater. something overpowered is on the way for our hero.
edit - i'm glad to see the wire setup used for the kill and so cleverly at that.
Na I don't see hidan getting out of this one. In a writers stand point this is closure for shika loseing his sensei. This was one of the best chapter's in the whole manga by far in my opinion. I can't wait to see the new jutsu, especially since it is only at 50%, and we have since the damage it can do.
Well, that was a nice chapter, looks like there is some closure on the Shikarmaru fight, and they were fighting in the forest of his family, so it couldn't be too far from Konoha.
We're going to get to see some Naruto v Kakazu now, taking him on solo, Yamato says it's 50%, but he's completely different, this will be interesting, hopefully he as changed a little and is more focused and uses more jutsu and other jutsu, it will be good for Ino and Chouji to see what Naruto is capable of.
I personally don't like this chapter. It really screws up Shika's character. He's a weak and brilliant tactian, he provides the set-up while other characters deliver the finishing blow (which requires strength he doesn't have).
This just seems ridiculous that his shadow techinque is strong enough to force an S-Class Criminal down a hole, with enough time to detonate exploding tags.
It would have been better if the back-up team reached Shika and helped him finish the fight.
It doesn't screw up his character, it adds a new dimension to it, which is good.
