clearly she didn't get any actual ninja lessons to go with that uniform.

I have nothing kind or useful to say about this week's Naruto chapter. The nicest thing I can say is that I am so weary of the art's morality color-coded hairstyles. Fucking seriously tired of it already.

More discussion below. I actually noticed it because in one of coffeeandink's recent entries she discussed YA books by L.J.Smith, and how often the dark haired girl was the negative/dangerous force and the blond girl was the angel. I was reading Naruto's chapter and it just hit me that he does it too. He also assigns humor vs. stoicism that way too, and I'm usually so distracted by that anime trope of personality=morality (cheerful=good, sour=problematic) that I missed the physical telltales for a long time.

Thanks for the heads up!
