Ahh this week more Kakashi-sensei, which means a happy Sakura-chan 
This chapter is full of win sauce because there is plenty of Kakashi-sensei in all his kickassery to satiate this copy-nin fangirl
Looks like Konoha ninja are made out of pretty tough stuff.
Konan and Pein continue their rampage through Konoha in an effort to drum up information on Naruto, but find that the ninja of Konoha aren’t very forthcoming with information.
She’s a giant slug, what else is there to say really.
With two of the Sannin already dead, just how much longer will Tsunade be around. Especially with all the power she must be exerting right now.
Tsunade summons Katsuya and tells her to separate and attach herself to everyone in the village and to take her chakra to heal their wounds. She is determined to protect the village no matter what!
He’s just so damned badass!
During his fight with the two Pein’s, Kakashi remembers the words of Fukasaku, that when there are more than one of Pein’s bodies present and their eyes are linked they have a shared field of vision.
Fukasaku had said that the key to fighting Pein was to take him on one on one, also each body can only use one power, so the trick is figuring out which one the body is using.
I swear they just get weirder!
The second Pein fighting Kakashi bursts out of his cloak to show a body with 6 arms and more than one face and some kind of razored like tail.
The original Pein seems to be drawing Kakashi in and its at this point that Kakashi figures out his power.
Kakashi realizes that he needs to call for reinforcements so he can tell them what Pein’s power is and manages to anchor himself with a chain to stop his forward momentum.
HA! As if our beloved Sensei would go down with just that kind of thing!
Oh noes! Kakashi gets skewered by the multi-armed Pein. Lucky for us and unluckily for him they have underestimated our wonderful Kakashi-sensei, son of the legendary White Fang and a legend himself. Beneath that mop of silver hair lies a brain every bit as sharp as the genius he was once proclaimed to be.
The multi-armed Pein quite literally gets a shock, since it turns out the Kakashi he skewered was a lightning clone. Oh Kakashi-sensei how wonderful you are, you can still give those young-uns a run for their money. (Although see last comment on the post for 420 as to what he’ll do when the young take over the village.)
It seems that Kakashi’s attack was able to attract the attention of Chouji’s father who crushes multi-armed Pein (I should just call him Shiva Pein or something, hey I can do that, I’m sorta half Indian/Mauritian after all!)
Next week the fight continues.
Well still really nothing too interesting except I get lots of Kakashi, who can make lightning clones! So really this chapter is a win for me, though not really for plot development…
Flirter’s Paradise woot XD.
Kakashi FTW! Can’t wait ’til he whips out his Mangekyou Sharingan and suck Pein’s sorry ass down the hole.
@ M12, LOL XD
@ 7, I agree go Kakashi go!
Kakashi’s gonna pwn Pein. Pein has no skill, relies solely on his power. Kakashi has it all.
Not enough stuff going on.
At this rate, only One Piece is worth reading among the Shounen 3.
Then again, One Piece has always been FABULOUS.
I’m just posting cause it seems like a weekly thing to do for me. D8

@ Toad Sage, well maybe Kakashi-sensei did use a lot of chakra up on that lightning clone after all.
@ maggeh, I keep getting told I should read one piece, but for a newb its quite daunting given just how long it is.
Hopefully Naruto will kick it into high gear next week (though I doubt it). Next week will probably be more of the same with some more panels letting us know how Naruto’s ‘yawn’ training is going. Possibly an update on Akatsuki and whether or not they’ve figured out Killer Bee is missing yet.
LOL well I’m certainly not complaining. Does this mean I should have a weekly Sasuke picture on hand in case he’s not in it?
One Piece is pretty much the best out of the Shounen 3, for me. Naruto and Bleach sometimes try to evoke the emotional factor, but always fail. Even Asuma’s death or Sasuke’s flashback failed to get anything out of me, while chapters of One Piece constantly make me shed tears. I think it’s because, unlike Naruto of Bleach, which just keep on piling characters on top of the other and discarding them (when’s the last time we saw TenTen do something meaningful again?), One Piece tends to focus on the main cast while at the same time remembering the old ones from time to time. After all, Buggy shows up every once in a while, and the cover pages for chapters generally show what happens to characters from previous arcs in the mini-arcs. One Piece is far more humane than Naruto or Bleach ever could be, which is part of the reason why I love reading it so much.
So yes, you need to read One Piece, even if it’s just a chapter a day or something like that. XD
For me, the highlight of One Piece is the Chunin Exam arc, where we actually got to see not only Kakashi’s team, but also the other members of the Rookie 9 (plus Gai’s team) fight and show off their moves. I mean, Shino was so freaking awesome when he first showed up, but when he appears after the time skip, all he does is shoot a couple of bugs at Tobi, which doesn’t work, and then fade off into the background again.
And Bleach? Bleach is becoming something of a bad fanfiction these days. Moreover, their power levels are even more fucked up than Naruto’s. I don’t even know why I read that shit anymore, but then again, I’m a moron and I rarely know why I do anything. XD
No, you do not need a Sasuke picture. If I need one, I’ll just go to your Chapter 421 (or 420?) post and check it there. XD
Well damn, looks like I have another manga to add to my list. I probably should add another Shounen anways since its mostly Shoujo at the moment.
I follow Bleach also but its one I haven’t found the need to read ahead on. I’ve just been reading it as Viz releases it over here.
I enjoyed the Chunin exams for the same reason, I feel like those other teams weren’t meant to be much more than background characters just for that arc. But when some of them such as Shikamaru became more popular he spent a little bit more time on them and gave them some background.
Sigh and Bleach held so much promise when it first came out.
XD Righty ho, I have a feeling Sasuke is gonna be turning up either this next chapter or the one after. Kishimoto can’t stay away from the Uchiha for long.
I know, Bleach was, for me, awesome and unique when it first appeared. The concept of shinigami and Hollows really made it interesting. But the moment Renji appeared and defeated Uryu, I knew things were going downhill. I mean, Uryu had been portrayed as powerful and mysterious in the previous arc… then Renji shows up and beats him. What the fuck?
While the Soul Society arc did open up the path to Zaraki Kenpachi (easily the most awesome character in Bleach), it also turned Bleach into an overly generic shounen. And I’m not sure if Kenpachi was worth that.
…
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING, MAGGEH? KENPACHI IS WORTH IT. NEVER FUCKING DOUBT KENPACHI!
Bu… but-
*Bitchslaps self*
NEVER DOUBT THE KENPACHI AGAIN, BITCH.
O… okay…
My poor bespectacled Uryu (okay, okay so I have a thing for specs. If Sasuke’s eyesight got bad enough he required specs I’d be in fangirl heaven.)
Ahh yes the Soul Society arc, maybe Zangetsu should have gotten named Tessaiga… Oh wait sorry thats already taken.
*Hands maggeh an icepack*
Kenpachi could kill a person with his stare alone, and that’s quite the feat considering one eyeball is behind a patch.
I was surprised when I read the most recent manga we got, that Hitsugaya came second in the popularity contest. For some reason I didn’t think he would be quite that popular, I figured Renji at least would be higher up than lil ol Hitsugaya.
I myself like the surly little guy I was just astounded to find that more of the stronger soul reapers like Kenpachi didn’t rate higher.
Hitsugaya is popular for the following reasons.
1) He’s young.
He’s had plenty of air-time compared to other shinigami of SS.
2) He has white hair.
3) He’s affiliated with a dragon.
4) He uses ice.
5) He’s ‘cool’.
6) He’s also cold.
7) Oh, snap, did you see what I just did there? I made a ‘punny’ joke. PFFT. A ha ha ha ha ha.
9) He has white hair.
10) He hangs around with Rangiku, so you know he’s a pimp.
11) He has white hair and he’s young.
LOL @ 10. Hmm now his surly attitude makes sense, since he’s constantly having to fend off non-paying customers who just want to stare at her rack.
And yeah white hair is a definite factor, I myself seem to have a soft spot for the white haired characters.
Except for Enishi in Kenshin, because, well just Kenshin is way more win.
kakashi death?
i think kakashi have still live
@ Zack, I agree Kakashi is still alive. I won’t believe otherwise until someon in the manga actually says he is dead and gone.
Nunca va a morir
por que el es el
mas chingon!!!!!
@ Pakoter, I agree Kakashi is way too badass to be really dead
pein has won oh poop
@kingshane, I wouldn’t be so sure
**** you guys!!!Pein is my favourite!Even if he died,i still like him!!!
@ Pein Well then the latest chapter won’t stop your love for him.
I just think all his reasonings are b.s basically. He’s a cool looking character that’s for sure, but really his character design is all I like about him.
i have the manga and kakashi dies usin mangeyko sharingan saving choji from 6 armed peins missle peins the best he kills kakashi and chojis father and hinata
@ master peine You might want to read on a little bit further before saying he’s dead
