Nothing much to say..... But that I was touched by this chapter. Seriously.
And it's about time they got back to this part of the story.

Well that was depressing.
I'm glad to see Iruka's still out there doing his thing though.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
so sad![]()

man i havent felt this down about naruto since sandaime passed.
Well written...I actually felt sad. Also, at the end "I'm Jiraiya, you can give me a love letter later" was really funny. Also...little Oro was too cute ^^.
I was kinda hoping this would be a serious turning point in narutos behavior but iruka telling him not to change makes me fear a little lol. but a very sad chapter indeed. next chapter is called the key so we may get some info on what naruto will lear/how he will learn w/e he will learn.
Honestly, there is something very unsettling about Naruto just walking out fairly quietly. That scene established a great tone to the whole chapter and really made it stick. Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to look back and pinpoint that as the moment that Naruto matured for good and not just remember it as a brief character development that eventually disappeared.
I still can't understand what Sakura and Sai are doing loitering around the hokage's office all day...
Sakura has some excuses, being an apprentice of the 5th, but why is Sai there? and why does she tell them the crap about destiny's child?
but still, a moving chapter.

I don't think it'll end up mathmatical, i'm guessing it's more japanese language coding.
Dam i hated this chapter, I feel like such a looser getting so depressed over a manga
It sucks that Jiraya died but this is a great opportunity for some serious character development, i can only hope we'll se a more matured Naruto after this.
@DBZ - I don't really think there's any way for anyone on this side of the border to decipher that, I'm not even sure if the code breakers on Naruto can do it.

Um guys, I don't think this was as depressing as you guys make it out to be, it certainly wasn't to me. Anyway nothing happened in this chapter, I thought we would see some profound change in Naruto but Iruka just told him to be himself. Iruka looks awesome by the way I wish we would see him more. Anyway why is it that the first thing Naruto does is try to blame Tsuande for Jiraiya's death. What, does he not realize that Tsuanda knew Jiraiya much longer than he did and she was much closer to him. Or that maybe she would be feeling worse than he is because she of course would feel responsible, not to mention that now she has no one left, her family is dead and Oro, Jiraiya and Sarutobi are gone.
Btw I'm wondering what message Shikamaru has that is so important and doesn't that image of Jiraiya in his prime look alot like Minato.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
I still think the number is the default gateway onto Pain's telepathic LAN.

Yeah and the third as a kid kind of looks like them too.Originally Posted by Abdula
Very much so, it looks like Jiraiya might be Naruto's grandfather after all.Originally Posted by Abdula

I would have agreed with you for most of the chapter, but it was the last few pages with Tsunade coming to the realization of the death of her oldest friend that got to me.Originally Posted by Abdula

I also thought it was weird that Naruto blamed her as well. That came out of nowhere and didn't seem really fitting for his character.

sad chapter indeed. I would've done what Naruto said in the chapter. The whole, if Jiraiya was hokage he wouldn't let you go out on that mission thing. Anywhoo, I think those numbers are chapter markings on Jiraiya's books he wrote. Prolly leading to who he met in his life and then revealing who Pein is.
I don't care who I have to fight!
If he rips my arms off, I'll kick him to death!
If he rips my legs off, I'll bite him to death!
If he rips my head off, I'll stare him to death!
And if he gouges out my eyes, I'll curse him from beyond the grave!

Naruto's personality shift should be very subtle if we get one at all, since we saw Iruka telling him not to change. He's definitely feeling down, but it can't compare to what Tsunade feels... She didn't get to be Jiraiya's backup
Now for a noticeable shift in temperament, I think the deaths of either Sakura or Kakashi could do it. I suppose Sasuke's could too, but what are the chances of that happening?

Now I wonder who is going to step in and become Naruto's primary sensei. I find it hard that the person who teaches Naruto to become a smart ninja will be himself.
