if they tried to make him shorter why would they make him fatter?
thats really just a bad attempt at Orochimaru's normal form if you look, when he takes off his face his height doesnt change either just his face.

i dont understand why its so hard to just keep one team doing each episode, other less popular animes do it.
i'm just sooo disappointed that naruto choose to crap up the hokage fight
i guess they're valueing gaara vs naruto more
