Naruto 237... hmm, actually saw that one coming.



I'm confused. I'm pretty sure the implication from the previous two chapters was that Sasuke was not going to be walking up to Orochimaru and say, 'Yo, d00d. Teach me how to bitch-slap my brother'. Or am I missing something. And why is Jiriya so set on Sasuke going after Orochimaru, Sasuke is NOT like Orochimaru. Sure, both of them have major obesessive drives but they are NOT the same. The reasons for Sasuke's search for power is completely different from that of Orochimaru, and that makes all the damn difference. Actually, I'm -really- hating the parallels that the manga is drawing between Team 7 and the the Sannin. They are NOT the same dammit. To say that that Team 7 is like the Sannin is belittling them, and it is really irritiating the hell out of me. But I'll shut up because I believe K-sensei. Honest.

I'm hoping for a major Time Jump. I don't think I can deal with more training. I -need- more plot. Beside, 15-YR-OLDS! OMFG!

Anyways, KAKASHI!!! *fangirls*



If you think about it Orochimaru would make a really good Dr. Frank-N-Furter. I can practically see him saying, "a sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania," and my brain keep on whispering to me that Sasuke would make a good Janet.

I confess, I just want to see them do the 'Time Warp Again'.

Actually, that irritate me as well. I hate the fact that everyone seem incapable of letting Sasuke make his own way (or his own mistakes), and that Naruto keep on thinking he can SAVE everyone and when he fails he goes on blaming himself. It makes him so damn arrogant. It just seems to belittle what Sasuke is trying to do, and what Chouji, Neji and the rest suffered to accomplish.

Does that make sense?

I have a feeling that it's totally a cultural difference and this sort of attitude is more valorized in Japanese culture (culture of interdependence), but my American existentially-oriented self does find that kind of irritating.

Sasuke is a kid, but after all, so is Naruto, and the adults, interestingly, have a less paternalist attitude towards Sasuke than Naruto. But since Naruto is the main person harming himself through this, I just pity him, and yes, it does speak of a certain lack of perspective of Naruto that he thinks he can solve all these problems, but he is after all only twelve and has time to learn.
