My Brother Can Just Suck My...

[Death BOO Z]

I'll accept that it might be possible for the sand ninjas to be much faster than others, but it still makes very little sence...
as you said, they all left at 0500, and now it's about 12 hours after that? (it's still daylight, and i doubt that they took a break for the night), but remember that Tsunade probably sent for help after she sent the genins (she didn't think that oro's elite group would be there), and the messanger to the sane village had to spend time getting there, and considering that Sasuke and Naruto arrived the leaf border only recently, they need to be hella fast to get there....

possible? yes. but it still smells like someone seriously messed up ...

i think its more than 12 hours later, isnt it the next day cos i remember them saying they wanted to wait for light or something otherwise itd be too risky to take tha barrel

[PSJ]

correct its 24 hours after they left, and dont underestimate tsunade, she is hokage and wouldnt send out a 5 man genin team without any backup.

no, i'd say more like 24 hours.......
remember that episode where it was getting dark and shikamaru talked about how his kage mane doesnt work without any light?
now watch the episode where naruto catches up with kimimaro in the field, its daylight again.

therefore, its the next morning after they left

I've been checking things in the manga in the past few mintues...
in chapter 198, Neji kicks the dust and we see the sun up.
a page later, there's a scene that Kiba says that they getting closer.
a few pages later, we're nearing dusk, and Tayuya says that it's been half a day since thier mission began.
----which is completly crap since they've been in the leaf village for at least 24H, and consider that they had to get to the vilage before.
And we see the moon up.
now to chapter 199 (volume 23), theres a color page (done in the original manga, not by inane) and it's mornning already, meanning that a night passed now.

so my question is "why did Kiba say that they're close if they had to continue chasing for the night (at least 8 hours)?"
if someone actually believes that ninjas, in a middle of a chase (both the chasers and the ones being chased) take a break for the night and camp out, he should be shot for being stupid.

and about the powerlines and telephones: sure, it could be possible, but considering Kakashi gets messages through bird-mail, I refuse to believe it.

I got the impression that it was because they didn't want to give it a try while it was dark...

Actually that's exactly the reason why.

yea, they were very close but didnt want to attack at night because of the risks, so they stayed just behind them

well death boo they got telephone lines and powerlines they got refrigirators, tvs, radios the whole shit exept cars and guns. kishimoto said in an interveiw that he wanted them to live in a modern society for the expetion of vechiles(sp?) and guns.
