[NEW] Chapter 423 Discussion Thread

.............begin.

Freaking awesome! I loved Kakashi's plan and how he figured out how long the intervel is now.

It was good to see all that he could do fighting Pain.

I hope he doesn't die.

I hope he doesn't win. A win for Kakashi means less action for Naruto. v____v

I hope Kakashi doesn't die though.

Its like a rock and a hard place...

......as I was posting the manga, I remembered how much Itachi rox. Too bad he had to die.

Well, Pain is going to get his ass handed to him one way or another. When that happens, I'll be forced to take away his disgraceful image off from this site.

Till then, Zieg Heil Lord Pain.

Is that the reason for the new avitar?

Yes Pain is pwning...for now

.....Itachi has always been my favorite character.

Sasuke is still one of my favorites as well. He just gets a bad rap cuz of his 20 chapter free for all.

Pain shouldn't count his chickens before they hatch. He shouldn't milk the cow before it's primed *cough* He shouldn't do the *insert sexually suggestive inuendo here* before she's ready.

All in due time.

He does need to spread his pawnage some more, a little here a little there, so he doesn't run out after just a few fights.

I think Kishi was foreshadowing Naruto's future as Hokage by having him worry about Konoha. It's as if he has a bond with the village. It's his will of fire.

Yes Kishi is showing that he does infact have some writing skills, after the Sasuke arc he needed something to draw fans back in.

Sasuke had more than one arc. >___>

I actually liked the Sasuke arcs. From a logical point of view,...he had to do it. There's no way he could've cut to show us another event taking place. Nothing else major was going on.

true but it got very...boring...sort of laggy...

Then he's just building suspense....let's just wait and see.

*sigh*

KKS is not dead. The foreshadowing of using his silhouette is just waaay to much of a plot device. I think he will come back stronger than ever.

Besides, from a plot perspective, what would be the point of KKS death? Jaraiya has already died and that should give Naruto enough testicular fortitude to beat the crap out of Pein. Now of course if KKS does die then all bets are off as far how much Naruto is going to beat Pein into the ground.

However I would not be surprised if KKS would lose his Sharigan eye perhaps, or maybe his normal eye. That would make for a more interesting plot...

If kks dies

Pain=blood splatter when Naruto finds out.

testicular fortitude........ >___>

Going a bit political there I assume.

hahaha....
