timepiececlockOh the LOVE.
Reading the conclusion between Sasuke and Naruto was good... I'm glad that Sasuke didn't kill Naruto. And I'm glad that everyone is alive (though the Joss fan and FMA fan in me thinks it might have been better storywise if Chouji and/or Neji had died because of the resulting drama.) And I'm glad the Ero-senin is finally taking Naruto's training seriously. And Sakura as well.
But most I love that we're finally getting.... KAKASHI BACKSTORY!
And we know so much already. That he used to be tightly controlled and strict with the rules and angry at the world, and somehow growing up changed that in him. And that it looks like his friend probably gave him the eye that he has now, or someone connected to Obito, anyway.
Interesting how the same triangle keeps being repeated, where Orochimaru=Sasuke=Kakashi, Tsunade=Sakura=GirlOnKakash'sTeam, and Jeraiya=Naruto=Obito.
Interesting too how Kakashi's father was disgraced for making the opposite decision that Shikamaru made (it doesn't suprise me that Shikamaru chose the mission over his companions, though obviously he is second-guessing himself over it), and yet when Kakashi was schooling Team 7 in the very beginning of the manga he's always insisted that sacrificing your teammates makes you worse than garbage, putting loyalty first-- ultimately making the same decision then as his father? As Naruto and Lee as well?
And we know that Obito is dead in the present timeline. What interesting turn-arounds have happened in the time between in Kakashi. ::squeals:: THE BACKSTORY HAS LANDED!
I have a question though-- chapters 239 and 240 supposedly take place "about 10 years ago". Well, Naruto is 12--going on 13-- so it must have been at least 13 years ago. Seems like a pretty awful continuity mistake there.
