But they were like evil nin... Anyhow, I forgot that because I started reading the manga sometime around the Chuunin exam finals, so I only glanced through a lot of the earlier stuff.

Though that part put a perspective on how far Haku was willing to protect Zabuza, and after re-reading it, i found it a lot more touching.

I guess my new point is, its been a while since we've seen something of the gravity, and I'm hoping the series will continue that pattern. If I can't have humor in Naruto, which is long gone, I'll glady except a little more graphic violence. (I realize Kimimaro's fight was pretty gruesome too, but he was just one freaky badass monster of a Oro lover)
