significant plot twists that turn out pointless

i dunno.....raven explained how the events that i mentioned extended the story, but stories need more than just a means to reach the ends.....i still find how things like the hokage sacrificing himself the way he did just as a method for tsunade to make her appearance to the series seems kinda....not very poetic......not in the least

The Hokage's sacrifice was more than just to a way to introduce Tsunade, he was old anyways, and the fight with Oro gave him a purposeful death. He died for the village just as the 4th had. Taking the arms was the best he could do, but if Oro got his arms back now, then I could consider it a lame sacrifice.

well yeah, i wouldnt have even brought that up if he could never get his arms back.....but it seems like he can now.....which is why it'd be kinda pointless to me

Shin_naruto, didnt he end that sentence by saying that she still has a mission to accomplish? (aka. taking care of the genins)

if you read the second part of my post...

'Tayuya is startled by what kimmimaro said... so I doubt the wisper was the next bubbles text

'you still have a mission to accomplish by staying alive'



hardly something for Tayuya to be startled with...
thats my thoughts at least...

Sealing the arms was better than nothing. It made him retreat from the invasion, didn't it? If Sarutobi had died, and Oro could still use his arms, he'd more than likely go on a killing spree.

But, he was forced to retreat. Sarutobi was dying anyway, he did what he could. Anyway, even if it is only for plot development, it's an interesting way to do it.

not necessarily......that sounds to me like another way of saying "if you fail this, then you're dead"
