Naruto 624

This chapter was interesting. It did feel like a wrap up of majority of the flashbacks. I think there isn’t a whole lot say on this chapter, because it really did feel straightforward. Seeing as how Madara and Hashirama’s relationship took a turn there, there could be many Naruto and Sasuke comparisons to that. If Hashirama killed Madara right there, then all the current stuff that’s happening… probably wouldn’t have happened. Hashirama not giving up… should he have given up? I guess that’s the question. It was an all right chapter.

Naruto 623

Well this chapter was slow paced, but it’s interesting either way. It was interesting to see Madara and Hashirama get close to each other. Even though they didn’t mention to each other which clan they were from, I think they did at least have a feeling about it. Based on the end of the chapter I guess we’re getting a fight between Butsuma, Tobirama and Tajima, Izuna on the next chapter. Thinking a few chapters back about how angry Madara was when mentioning his brother, I’m assuming something is going to happen here which will kind of make us understand why Madara’s so angry about it. Other than that, it was nice to see that Hashirama’s vision of Konoha started from way back then. Overall, it was an all right chapter.

Naruto 622

-Spoiler alert- as usual. So we’re still in the flashback within a flashback. Not as exciting as the other chapters, but definitely interesting. So I guess Hashirama and Tobirama had another brother, Itama… well before he got killed anyhow. Their father though? Well he’s a jerk. Although I guess being in a war, you’re bound to be one to a certain extent, maybe. So Madara had 4 brothers? But… what about Izuna? I wonder what all of it means. Or maybe Izuna simply wasn’t born yet, but I wish there was more of a twist to it, lol. Although I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that there was war back then as well. It’s like an endless cycle. It’s been pointed out, but I wonder if the cycle of wars will end. We’ll see. (Btw, still waiting for updates on Tsunade and the reason behind Rin’s death, lol.) Nice chapter overall.

Naruto 616-621

So…. I haven’t put my thoughts on any of the Naruto chapters for a very long while now lol. I actually haven’t read 616 to 621 until just now because I was busy (and kind of lazy). I’m just gonna summarize everything at once, lol. On to my actual thoughts… *SPOILER ALERT*

Naruto 615

Spoilers ahead. Well, wow. I guess that means that NaruHina is officially canon, lol. Honestly I’ve never had an OTP in Naruto. Well sure, probably that only thing I kinda shipped was Naruto and Sasuke but that was mostly for fun, lol. Even though I never really shipped anyone, I’m down with NaruHina, assuming the story continues towards that direction. Regarding the rest of the chapter, I wonder when Obito and Madara will stop working together. Well they kind have since they keep disagreeing with one another, but I’m assuming that will happen at one point. I still want to know the reason Kakashi killed Rin, and also I want to see Tsunade again. ;___;

Naruto 614

Spoilers ahead. …Whoa. WHOA. I was NOT expecting that AT ALL. Way to shock me two weeks in a row, Kishimoto. I did not expect Neji to die at all. I mean last week’s deaths was shocking in itself, but Neji dying, I just started at that one page for I don’t even know how long. And I just tried to come to a realization to what I had just read. Like… wow. And when Neji said, “Because… I was called a genius…”, I just about lost it. I was going to seriously scream, “NO!”, it was just so… unexpected. I knew more people were going to die, but Neji wasn’t the first to come to mind before reading this chapter. And look, I know Obito’s been through a lot, but when he said, “I thought you wouldn’t let me kill a single one of your comrades”, in my mind I’m like, “Really, Obito? REALLY? Are you seriously saying this right now? Can’t you like be quiet or something?” Oh and btw, Kishimoto, I didn’t forget… you still have to tell us why Kakashi killed Rin. I’m still waiting for the reason. I’m still waiting (lol).

Naruto 613

Didn’t post any reaction from 609 to 612 because I didn’t have the time, sorry. x_x

But anyhow… wow. Just… wow. The deaths of Shikaku and the others totally took me so off guard like you wouldn’t believe. I mean I saw the Juubi destroy that village at first, and I was like, ‘whoa, he destroyed that pretty far away’. It didn’t even occur to me at all that the Juubi would attack them, but when Shikaku said, “…Headed our way, huh…”, I was like, ‘…what? WHAT?! OH FUCKING HELL’. Well, thanks Kishimoto. I mean I knew people had to die, but this came out of nowhere for me. I feel really sorry for Team 10 though. They’ve been through enough shit as it is. And I’m trying not to think of all the father & son moments between Shikaku and Shikamaru too much, because if I do, I will sob like a freakin’ baby, guaranteed. (I also feel like Kishimoto’s going to switch to Sasuke next week. Seems like something that’s bound to happen, lol.)

mochacaramelatte:

Oh the irony! That same Obito is trying to kill you.

This chapter, it kills me.

It absolutely breaks my heart to see Kakashi think so lowly of himself. Because it’s probably not even the first time, he’s probably thought this way for years since Rin died.

It also hurts to see Obito become this horribly jaded and cynical man, who’s literally lost his grasp on reality. With every chapter I read, I feel as though we are desecrating the memory of the Obito I loved. Especially in this chapter where Naruto provides a stark contrast by representing and upholding his very own values, reminding us all of the sweet, caring boy Obito once used to be.

But it hurts the most to see Obito treat Kakashi literally like trash. They had come so far with their relationship, and even after his “death”, Kakashi still respected, cared and loved Obito. But now, it’s all turned to dust. The deterioration of relationships is always painful.

Finally, the curiosity is killing me! I still want to know why Rin died. I guess patience is a virtue here. But for now, all I know is that Kakashi needs a damn hug.

Naruto 608

thesinsofthesinfulgothica:

This whole chapter was completely heartbreaking.

It’s hard for me to see Kakashi think he’s trash. But the worst even is to think that he probably has thought that of himself since Rin died. It’s hard for me because I also know how it feels like to be completely useless, trash. And it’s even harder to see how much he loves Obito, his friend.

Then there’s Obito, who’s being a huge son of a bitch but I can see deep down that he’s hurting too. He’s hurting when he says Kakashi is trash. He’s hurting and always will be, no matter how brainwashed and twisted he has become.

And in the end we have Naruto. And the more I look at him, the more I see Obito. 

I’m just completely heartbroken.

Naruto 607 + 608

Doing both chapters here since I didn’t post for 607. But well, wow. Okay. It was kind of underwhelming in 607 about how Obito found out about Naruto. And the flashbacks in 607 and 608 made me sad like ugh. But also like in 607 I had a little sympathy left for Obito. And 608 maybe I do a little. Sort of. I’m just really conflicted on it. I mean just look at how Kakashi was for most of 608. It was just so sad looking at him. (I’m not saying that because he’s my fav. He just really looks sad.) I wish Kishi would tell us about why Kakashi killed Rin. Because I really need to know, asap lol. But really. When Kakashi said, “It’s just as you say, I’m trash. But Obito… you were always… a hero to me… why…”. I had like the saddest face ever when I was reading that like omg. :(
