So everyone is in a tizzy over this week's chapter of Naruto.
Here's my take on the matter.
Does everyone remember when we first saw Pain? I don't know everyone's general reaction, but my reaction was, in Dane Cook's words, "That is one badass-lookin' muthafucka!" I can remember just be so damn intrigued. From the looks and actions of this guy (HELLO! At first it appeared as though he controlled all of Akatsuki), I thought, "Hell yeah! I bet this is gonna be the biggest, baddest guy in the whole series." But really? Really? What was the whole point of building up to this huge confrontation with Pain/Nagato and Naruto and give us this chump change shit??? KISHI WTF?! I mean really. Really.
Nagato sacrifices himself for the Leaf Nin that were killed in the battle, eh?
1.) Why the fuck didn't he revive Yahiko?
2.) Why would he revive ninja that he didn't even KNOW?! I mean, I could understand it a smidge better if he had interacted and knew some of the characters he had killed. But to just selfishly abandon Konan, and just give life back to those who had died in the battle? Don't get me wrong, I love Kakashi, he's one of my favorite characters, but DEATH IS A PART OF THE LIFE A SHINOBI! Death is a part of everyone's life! He should have revived his Akatsuki compadres!! RAH RAH!
3.) Way to sacrifice your life in vain there, buddy. If you were gonna throw your life away so foolishly you might as well have died with your family or Yahiko.
This is arc has been completely utterly useless. Yeah, it was cool until this chapter. But knowing now what has happened concerning the whole Pain situation makes me wish Kishi would have just skipped a year's worth of chapters and just handed us the Sasuke/Team Hawk storyline. And what about Akatsuki? Unless we've got some amazing Madara shit coming our way, the whole Akatsuki storyline has been fucked over for us fans as well. Gah. FAIL!
