Next arc? At the moment, I really don't care. I just want this Sound Nin one to end. They stick these Lv. 2 guys in, but other than the "Lv. 2" part of it, they're completely irrelevant to the story. It didn't have to be this way, but it just is when we know little about them and don't really give a damn, cuz they're all going down and we know it (and hopefully some of the minor leaf characters with them).

The only cool one is the one with the flute and there's no way in hell Shikimaru's losing. Not that I mind that, he's one of the few leafs I think is actually worthwhile to read about.
