Ok, so what's with the huge outcry for blood? Is it a question of faithfulness to the original manga? If it is, why doesn't everyone complain about changes in the storyline, like Sasuke vs Temari? Are you worried about the lack of blood leading to Toonami snatching the series in the US? If that's the case, you'd need total gore and bloodshed because they've butchered other anime to suit their Toonami audience. Do you think the blood makes the fights more realistic? Hello! It's anime. It's Naruto. Since when was it realistic? Besides, completely realistic violence would make most adults sick to their stomachs. Or do you think that a good fight requires visual pools and gysers of blood? In which case you're just outright wrong. Bloodspillage is a secondary concern, and personally I think that it's in enough anime as it is. Anime, especially good (great, excellent, whatever possitive adjective you prefer) anime like Naruto, needs more circulation. Some of the better means are public library anime programs. But a lot of those are targeted at kids who are sick of Pokemon, YuGiOh, and everything else on WB, and are already overly exposed to Cartoon Network's lineup. A lot of these kids are also under the age of 13 and have parents who blow their top at the sight of a blood spray. One spray will have a good show like Naruto banned from being shown in cases such as this, which leaves the people running these programs stuck feeding kids stuff they're sick of or having to say "Come back when you're older." Granted, a lot of people differenciate anime from "cartoons" on the fact that anime's target audience isn't just kids. But the fact is that not all anime is targeted at only adults. Not all anime is required to have bloody dismemberments. And Naruto is one of those series that is perfectly fine without the bloodletting. Other anime like Hellsing, Vampire hunter D, and Ninja Scroll (to name a few) are targeted specifically at an older audience, so the blood levels are a lot higher than a series like Naruto. Which is perfectly fine. As has been said already, the time slot probably has a lot to do with the drop in blood shed in Naruto. And there's nothing you can do to change that. Just enjoy the series for what it is. (Besides, if CN picks it up, they'll have less to butcher. I HATE their cheap edits. They're so danged distracting).

As far as grammar. . . It's a free fansub. Don't be so picky. At least it's not one of those Japanese to Chinese to English translations. I saw one of those for the last Fushigi yugi OAV. Ugh, terrible. The errors in grammar on the Naruto subs here are very minor and I usually pass them over without noticing. It's not like "All your jutsu are belong to me." So ease off. If you're so dissappointed, go do your own grammatically flawless fansubs.

And yes, the 3rd does bite his thumb. I remember seeing that and going into giddy anticipation mode wondering what he was going to summon.
