And the next chapter is so shitty, I am forced to describe it as shitacular. Seriously, wtf Kishimoto. Last chapter Naruto was only drained from his rasen-shuriken, and now he has a broken arm? That didn't, oh I don't know... regenerate?! Fuck man, he regrew his lung and a chunk of his heart... what the fuck is a bone compared to that?

 

Sasuke just attacked Orochimaru in the newest issue. Yeah. Go figure.

 

343 came out... kudos for Sasuke. Doing what a Shinobi is suppose to do.

 

Well... Orochimaru is in bed, coughing his lungs out, and this lightning sword thing slices through the door. He barely blocks it, and gets both hands stabbed through.

Enter, Sasuke, end chapter.

 

I'm hoping that someone on the Naruto staff remembers that the level 2 curse seal makes the barer a slave to Orochimaru, and he just laughs and puts Sasuke through crucio levels of pain.

 

I had wondered about that particular plot hole. Sasuke is supposed to be bound to Orochimaru's will, so WTF? Bah, this is something I am getting used to in this manga. Blasted plotholes.

And on that note, I have this horrible, sickening feeling that Kishimoto is going to make the whole thing a load of bullshit. How? By declaring that Sasuke never betrayed the leaf, he was just a super-secret spy. I think I would stop reading at that point.

 

No, Sasuke can't be the super secret spy... that's already Itachi. At least that's the opinion of lots of fans...

Sasuke will have an awesome attack or secret, and many fans will think he wins... till the moment Orochimaru laughs and starts with the payback.
Sasuke can't win. Which evil teacher would train a pupil to be better than himself? Orochimaru certainly not. Sasuke will get the beating of his life... and I will enjoy the moment when he loses his body.

 

If Sasuke in any way seems to have a chance, or pulls something out of his ass....

Sigh.

Then Kishimoto really has fallen completely. I mean, I was willing to keep going with the manga, even with the timeskip. Because if you put the situation in perspective, then you really see that Kishimoto is an amateur. He didn't work through the apprenticeship of most manga authors have had. The reason he even got a chance was because the original one chapter Naruto (Find it. Read it, if you dare.) that he submitted to a contest, was accepted.

I was fine with his lack of planning, even when he admited in interviews that he created Sasuke and Sakura on the fly, with no pre-planning, just because Naruto needed interaction with his own age group.

But now, with Naruto being a secondary character on his own show, I am almost ready to ship out.

As the issues I have with post-timeskip are mounting, I am finding less and less reasons to continue.

I mean dear God, Sasuke was doping.

I just hope things don't slide down further.

(If Sasuke has the Magekyou, then Kishimoto dies, by Yaoi overload.)

To Aensland: ...The Horror!?

 

Four words for you: Snake-tentacle-monster!Orochimaru

Yes it happens. I saw scans of the untranslated next chapter.

 

Indeed. And Sasuke is activating level two curse seal, I read the spoiler for the chapter.

Sasuke's not worried about this battle in the slightest it seems, and on the other hand, Oro seems to be shitting himself with worry.

I think this battle is going to end in one or the other fleeing. Sasuke and Oro are no longer allied after 344 I think.

Which in turn completely negates the reason Naruto and Sakura's three year training. Kishi needs to take some tips in writing a plot. He's a good artist, but he needs someone else to write his story.

 

I have to disagree, his women, for the most part, look like men, and half his men are traps.

 

All in all I like his style. Yes, the women aren't beautiful, but that's one of the reasons I like it... I just can't see any more Sailor-Moon-Girlies...
But it's a bit annoying that the most girly person in the manga is still Haku...

The new chapter... At least Orochimaru isn't an jinchuuriki. But Sasuke shouldn't win... not when Itachi himself hat respect for a Sannin, Jiraiya.

 

Haku is a women damn it! and if sasuke wins...I stop reading.

 

I could've swore the curse seal put Sasuke under Oro's control...And Level 2 still looks creepy. Sasuke better lose, he ain't supposed to win.

Meh. I don't know why I still read Naruto. Maybe it's hope that it'll start to get good again.

 

If it got wings like a duck...it must be a duck. Thus with that logic we can say the Sasuke is in fact a duck in CS2...just look at the wings.
