actually i think the kid with the cigarette or whatever (that is with kakashi under the 4th) is dead. why? because kakashi said that his best friend or friends were killed saving him or something and he goes to that grave/shrine thing all the time. i always assumed that other kid was his friend who died. (another ninja says his name but i dont remember it)

when did asuma (toothpick guy?) become the 3rd's son? that seems like a major stretch and i dont remember any indication of it.


oh and kabuto. . . he is definatly a weird guy. saves hinata, kills three anbu and then acts as if he is going to kill sasuke. he is nice at the weirdest times but i think he is loyal to roochi, granted in a weird way.
