If that turns out to be true, I am going to ask you from some Lotto numbers Nexus.

The only part I really think couldn't happen is the "henged into one of the Raikage's bodyguards" part, because there was no time for a switch, how could avoid the disguise breaking after fighting this much and fool the Raikage for that long, and both of them have already used techniques that Naruto doesn't know. Also, if Naruto interrupts the Raikage/Sasuke fight (there is a decent chance, and I'm actually kind of hoping for this) he'd probably find some way besides a Diving Save (really, one Raikage punch could probably go through him and kill both of them).

^Yeah, their being no opportunity for the switch and Naruto somehow acting like the bodyguard well enough to convincingly fooling all of them for that long are the main reasons why I knew my dream was automatically Jossed.

Have you ever heard the phrase "simple people" used in a non-insulting manner?

"Simple people" referring to the primary demographic. "Simple story" referring to the complexity you people are looking for which isn't there.

I'm asking how branding some loosely defined group as "simple people" isn't insulting, and you just responded by replying that you were talking about that group.

I'm not mad that I think you're somehow insulting me, I'm mad about this whole idea of people—even if it's not me—being branded as "simple". That and you're saying that anyone who has a different opinion as to the meaning or lack of meaning is a enjoying it in the "wrong" way.

And really, let's not go into this "it's complex/it's not complex" bullshit. Most of the time it's just another way people bitch about what they don't like, and put what they do on a pedestal.

Good idea.

EDIT: I just realized that last chapter Jugo said he wanted to take out C so Karin could go back to searching for Danzo without getting discovered, and while his Beam Spam thing failed to kill the Raikage it distracted the guy enough for Sasuke to disable him with genjutsu. Was this some sort of plan on his part that he thought up before going into stage two kill mode?

To the post below me: Let's not start this back up, but I meant when it's used to talk about someone else. If your saying something about yourself, it can't count as an insult.

Have you ever heard the phrase "simple people" used in a non-insulting manner?

"I'm a simple guy with simple tastes"?

So new chapter's out (too lazy to link, I'm sure you all know where to find it), and GO RAIKAGE! You're a badass!

But how in the hell does the Sauce have the chakra for Amaterasu and Susano-O? Didn't doing both nearly wipe the floor with Itachi? Shame Raikage's so impatient, he could have just waited for the jutsus to take their toll and for everyone's least favorite emo ninja to keel over from exhaustion. I wonder how Sasuke's gonna get out of this one. Tsukuyomi probably won't stop the foot that's currently on a direct course to impact his vitals, I doubt a summoning would work, he's already used the other two "god techniques", so what's he got left?

Rouge 7, remember, this is the same person that escaped from a three mile wide nuke blast by summoning Manda, something that takes a massive amount of Chakra to do (Which Sauske had none of), put a Genjutsu on him and get into his mouth.

He will BS his way out of this, trust me.

If they ever make the Samurai who got incinerated into the Anime, they need to have The Wilhelm Scream to go with it.

Itachi was in a longer fight where he used Tsukyomi, Amaterasu, and Susano'o all while suffering from some sort of disease, while all Sasuke's did before using this was use some regular genjutsu and lightning chakra. Is it weird that I think this still looks like it would be less exhausting than that giant fire ball that could change the weather/real lightning bolt combo he used after fighting Itachi for such a long time?

I'm sure this will be yet another thing which will have people complaining that Sasuke/the Sharingan is overpowered and that the Sharingan is useless.

Given that in the last panel Sasuke appears unharmed from just the shield being broken, him getting out of this will probably either involve dodging that next attack the Raikage is sending or attacking him during the enormous (or maybe Madara/Tobi will just teleport him out of the way).

In fact, what is Hawk going to do? Even if Sasuke beats the Raikage, he's probably not gonna be in the right shape to take anyone else, Jugo is current residing in the wall, Karin is hiding somewhere and since C's back up she might get spotted, and Suigetsu is having a hard time changing into water when he's pinned down with a giant sword and electrocuted.

EDIT: I can't believe no has mention that this chapter disproves Dan McNinja's claims that no can grab you when you're on fire.

I've just run across an interesting theory which may explain both why Minato split the fox chakra in two and what Madara means by "restoring his Sharingan".

tl;dr (though I actually recommend reading the whole thing anyway), it posits that Minato sealed the yin chakra of both the fox and Madara into the Death God, which he needed to control the fox, and the "Eye of the Moon Plan" is him finding a way to restore it some way, probably with the tailed beasts.

Well, it's nice to see I would have been spoiled without looking at those things yesterday. I only know the thing about Gaara saving Sasuke, please don't leave any other pre-non-SleepyFans-scanlation spoiler unmarked.

So that is Sasori Kankuro is using?

EDIT: On a related note, I've been planning to rearrange the Naruto character page so it arranges characters by village (not counting ones that aren't there anymore like Zabuza, Snake/Hawk, or Akatsuki members) and it's easier to know where to put paragraphs for new characters (also to give Baki and Chiyo some place to be, because it only lists the Sand Siblings). Can anyone else give me a hand with this?

EDIT: I'm now wondering the Raikage's reaction to finding out his brother actually ran away himself will be know that he ripped his own arm off getting revenge.

Okay, Sauske is now starting to enter Sue mode. Where was it ever established that he could have this whole "Darkness" thing going on? And I loved how Karin sees Danzo and goes, "Hey! I found him! Now we can assassinate him!". Err....Your team is in shambles and both the Kazekage and the Raikage are fighting them. Have fun with that.

Other then that, it was good. Garra is back! And he can still kick ass! But I swear, Sauske better not kill any of the Sand Siblings.....
