Naruto Chapter 454

that chojiro fellow looked sweet. it'll be awesome seeing him fight.

next in line, Naruto is top contender for the Jesus position, I think that his answer is somewhat correct. he's taking the hatred from the mist village and when time comes, he'll take all the hatred he gathered and turn it into positive hatred, which will allow him to cancel out the negative hatred that made Sasuke so strong.

ug the whole beating situation was annyoing..

it's like Naruto's trying to do this whole humbleness, take-all-the-hate-on-him approach, but in the end it's just seems so selfish.

if he really wanted to be humble, then he'd let them kill his friend. in stead of being extremely selfish and declaring that the hatred has to end at the cloud nins. seriously, he should take the responsibility of ending the hate on himself. let them kill sasuke, and then he should be the one who doesn't retaliate. while then also making sure that his friends don't retaliate. I'd say (well, if killabee was actually dead) that the cloud nins have every right to kill sasuke (if they could), and that naruto, being fair, shouldn't do a thing about it.

There has to be something wrong with this...if he really wanted to be humble, I guess he could wash their feet. I don't think he was going for humble, though. He realized he couldn't sell Sasuke out when it came down to it, but he understood their pain and frustration and was like "You can use me as a punching bag if that makes you feel any better." See, now he shared in their Pain and now they understand eachother *happy family* the end.

Actually, Pandadice brings up a valid point....

Although, I think Kishimoto's flashback to Jiraiya is meant to illustrate that Naruto already made a sacrifice to end the hatred, by choosing not to kill Nagato.
