first page... so gay.
8-tails is like those specialty brawl type whores, who can take on ten men at once.. creepy.
now for more serious analysis ...
Chidori sword can be stopped with metal conduction... which means that Ali can either turn the weakness of earth element into a controlling device over lightning, or Kishi forgot all about the element system.
Sharingan can't see the spin movement? pretty shady, if you ask me. I'm a hater, but if we've come to accept that Sharingan can see anything (and therefore is only limited by the reaction speed of the seer), I'd like to have so real explainnation about this.
Next on, I think Ali's sword holder is his "true" sword", I've got a feeling he'll morph that thing into a specialty sword. it gives off that vibe.
on the other hand, I'm starting to lose my belief in Karin, it may turn out that she is nothing other than another Sakura-type fangirl groupee for Sasuke, and then I've been wrong for thinking she has some secret agenda...
it's always cool to see Sasuke losing, even if it's just a flesh-wound genjutsu wackiness.
