Plus he doesn’t have great control of it, but all he would need is to hit him somewhere and Pein was being detained so he had a clear shot…

Nooooo don’t find holes in my logic that mean my precious Kakashi-sensei is expendable

Hmmm they could be dead or they’ll magically appear when Naruto needs to learn the move

I don’t have dreams, I have NIGHTMARES MUHAHAHAHA! So its alright if you want to kill those

Also, reading the Naruto Wiki, it states that Hidan did indeed die. Looks like the Immortality Jutsu won’t work unless you kill something. Which might seem like a glaring weakness, until you fucking realize that it’s nearly impossible to prevent him from killing people, and only the death of Kakuzu and his entrapment by Shikamaru managed to do it. OH HOW CONVENIENT. The only good thing that came out of the arc was the death of Asuma, and even that wasn’t as emotional as it could have been.

What I don’t understand is why Kakashi didn’t use Mangeyoku (I really can’t spell that) Sharingan to warp Pein away. I mean, even if he can reflect physical attacks, there’s no fucking way in hell he can avoid being transported to another plane of existence.

Which is ironic, I’m sure, cause one of Buddhist paths deal with planes of existence, if I recall. Or realms. Or whatever.

Well, Madara isn’t totally impervious to harm. The Amateratsu from Sasuke’s Mangkyoku (I still can’t spell that) Sharingan managed to hurt him until he had to do some kind of super special awesome maneuver to stop it. Maybe he needs to be aware of the attack in order to phase it, or perhaps he just phased himself before going against Naruto and co. while he didn’t bother to, or expect Sasuke’s eye (see, it’s much easier when you say eye) to activate.

Um… but the fourth had two teammates, remember? What about them? XD

I’M IN YOUR BLOG KILLING YOUR DREAMS. [I'm in your manger killing your baby Jesus.]

But, but if Kakashi-sensei dies Sakura will be sad (pout).

I totally agree about Akatsuki, I mean even if they are the best of the best hand picked by Madara, the power level of some of them is ridiculous.

I absolutely hated Hidan and Kakuzu, oh lookie we can’t die. WTF??? Aren’t the tailed beasts supposed to be the most powerful beings in the land? So why are they all getting taken out so easily by this group?

I understand you have to have a powerful bad guy, but the level of power is so unevenly stacked it borders on stupid.

Itachi didn’t seem to feel like he could beat Madara, so with as powerful as he’s been lorded out to be, how can Sasuke and Naruto ever have a hope of defeating him right now?

Aha!! I just totally thought of a reason why Kakashi-sensei can’t die. Given Madara’s power, I’ve felt for a long time that the key to his defeat, is in some part going to rely on Naruto using his fathers signature move.

If Jiraiya hasn’t taught it to him (I guess he could have, we don’t know) then the only other person who could teach it to him would be Kakashi… So if he dies that wouldn’t be possible!

My Kakashi-sensei is ALIVE!

Kakashi dying would add more awesomeness to the series – I mean, they got it rolling with Jiraiya’s death and Kishimoto stopped being a fucking pussy when it came to killing characters off. What I disliked about this chapter is that Pein fucking managed to blow EVERY ninja away – and knock out all but three – with one fucking I’MMA REFLECTING YOUR LASER attack. If they were just generic ninja, sure, but these are supposed to be trained ninjas of Konoha. I think they’re jounin as well. Seriously, Akatsuki has been riddled with one god hax character after the other, and I’m sick as fuck of it. Sasori with his UNLIMITED PUPPETS WORKS, Kakuzu with his Hearts a’plenty and his Wires of Self-Actualized Healing, Hidan with his INFINITE LIFE Cheat, Orochimaru with his I’M IN YOUR BODY KILLING YOUR SOUL complex, Tobi with his Phase Ability (I couldn’t think of something witty for this one. D8) and finally Pein with his I-Got-God-Hax-Plus-I-Can-Replace-My-Fucking-Body Syndrome. Only Deidara, Itachi, Kisame and Konan are exempt from this, and even Deidara has his clay shit. From all of them, Itachi is probably the most appealing to me BECAUSE he doesn’t have some fucking immortality jutsu and his powerful abilities take a cost on him. It’s refreshing to see a villain – in a loose sense, since Itachi isn’t really a villain – suffer side effects from his awesome powers, as opposed to the typical “No, [Insert Name Here], that [Insert Power Here] is going to kill you if you use it again!” situation where [Insert Name Here] does use [Insert Power Here] and STILL FUCKING MANAGES TO SURVIVE DESPITE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS.

Akatsuki. Lamest villians ever.

Naruto. Sooner or later, I’ll hate it more than Inuyasha.

But I’ll still read it to the end, though, unlike Inuyasha.
