For once......a good chapter.
Another slow chapter but at least the plot is moving along. The Sakura and Naruto issue seems a little forced though, especially when we have yet to see Naruto's reaction to Hinata's actions previously when he fought Pein.

In regards to the politics, the most interesting point to me is that it seems another of the Jinchuuriki seems to have been a former Kage, in this case the 4th Mizukage Yagura (prior no other info being given on this character other than his status as a Jinchuuriki) so perhaps a bit more info in regards to the mystery of which mizukage Madara is believed to have been (probably the 3rd unless he has a way to remove a tailed beast from his own body without killing himself)
Wasn't the turtle fight the one they didn't show on the manga?
Edit: lots of pointless questions (yes, even more)
Wow, I really loved that chapter. I thought the ending was retarded, but the rest of it was quite good.
It got straight into some hardcore ninja diplomacy, which was what I was interested in all along. Seeing how the Kage interact was a really nice break from the MADARA bullshit lately. We also got to see one of Kankuro's new puppets.
Then Sakura cried. Again.
And now Danzo might become the fucking undisputed Emperor of Ninja Land. This totally eclipses the stupidity of him becoming Hokage in the first place. This is just ridiculous.
Why Kishi, why do you give me a great chapter and then drop the ball just as things are getting good??
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
It would all make sense if Danzou was actually Madara's brother.
But then I don't know if we could fit Obito into the story.
OMG! it's all coming together. Danzou and Madara have the same intentions and actually working together behind the scene. Dun..dun.dun.
... What? ... just where was this connection made?
Anyway... Damn.... I really liked Sai's conversation with Sakura. So impactful.

Whats next, all the Kages form together to form Voltron, the defender of the world?
Suigetsu wasn't trained in the bloody mist era. They remade the whole thing after Zabuza killed everyone in his exam/test. That was said during the Zabuza arc. And Zabuza should have at least 10 years on Suigetsu. So it would be impossible, unless Suigetsu don't age and is infact older then Zabuza.
Anyway i liked this episode alot. Most of all i liked Sai's convo with Sakura. I like Sai's character just because he isn't afraid to be upfront and painfully honest. And someone really needed to tell Sakura what Sai just told her. I also liked the fact that it seems Akatsuki was used and hired by some of the villages. That explains how they could become so powerful without anyone doing anything about it for so long.
That shit needed to be said years ago. I can't believe Sai ended up being the one to point out what I've been thinking for so long.

I think that they were referring to Kisame as being the member of the Mist.
I liked the chapter, does seem like everything just happens really easily for Danzou. But at the same time I like the fact that they are considering the fact that the Akatsuki will probably end up attacking Konoha to get to Naruto, who has the last Bijuu, so there is some logic there.
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
Wait, wait ,wait... Emperor Danzou? Did he just convince them to give him all power very much in parallel to star wars? Does that make Gaara Jar-Jar? Akatsuki/nine tailed beasts the clone army/Sith?
And Naruto will lead the rebellion when it all turns out bad... Sasuke being Han Solo as they team up and have a love triangle with Sakura.
Nevermind the whole Yoda-frog/mentor loss/dead giving advice(Minato) events.

Hey, it's less insane than the Obito/Madara is <everyone> suggestions as of late.
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
The beginning was decent. But Kishimoto is so bad at story telling. The ending was just retarded.
some points of interest:
1. page 09 - akatsuki photo up: there are 11 people there, how did that happen?
(left to right) Hidan, Kazuku, Zetsu, Deidara, Sasori, Payne, Qunan, Kisama, Itachi, and then there are two other guys.
2. also page 09, I never thought the 4th Kazakage was so young, he looks no more than 35, which is awfully young to have a 13 years old son and still be kage (even if you don't consider Temari and Kankaru as his children, it's young).
3. So, madara became Mizukage (Yagura) , but something went wrong with the village, so he had to take over the akatsuki organization. My guess is a 3-way alliance between Danzou, Madare ( I don't think they're the same person) and Mifune (he's definitely in with them) that's planning to lead all the ninjas in the world into war against the common man a create a super race of samurai ninja sharingan users.
4.page 13 "... I would like to suggest which among you five Kages would be most suitable" - "Tsunade's era ends" - "Naruto...!". it's practically written.
5. I hate Sakura, she doesn't deserve a guy like Naruto. Maybe it's 'on the contrary thing", where Naruto can't leave Sakura alone (without him or Sasuke to watch over her sorry ass) and therefore can't go after Hinata?
last thing. If Mifune isn't a bad guy, he's stupid.
Danzou was skipped on the hokage draft so many times (the 3rd, the 4th, Jiraya, Tsunade), and all he managed to do so far during his regency is to escape the village when it's in ruined (after he did nothing to defend the village when it was attacked) and they make him king of the ninja?
sure, he gets point for extra effort, but that's like picking a starving midget to play in the All-star games just because you feel bad for not letting on the field during the play-offs.

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I was going to mention something of this earlier, but then figured that panel wasn't an actual event...just a general lineup. The guy who's fourth to the right is Orochimaru. (Notice the snake around him?) The two from the left are Tobi and Deidara. You can make out Deidara's ponytail.
If that clears it up for you.
I think you may be onto something with Mifune being in cahoots with the Big Bad. There's absolutely no way he'd make someone who has been a Kage for roughly a day the Emperor of Ninja Land. That's just too ridiculous, even by Kishimoto's standards.
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Well, to be fair, they live in a society where they could die at any moment, so starting to have children at about 19 (if he is 35, and Temari is 3 years older than Gaara) isn't too much of a stretch. I don't see any problem with that.
On another note, I don't see Raikage letting this shit fly. It seems like he could see what Dazou was up to. Hopefully he is smarter than he acts, and maybe ends up being a leader in the resistance, as I could totally see Naruto hiding out there in the company of Omoi and Karui, and possibly being trained be Killerbee at one point.
well, probably, I guess so, I just though that Gaara's father was around 50, like most kages (or maybe 30 is the normal age, seeing the summit of the leaders).
But, there's still the matter of the 3rd kazakage (Sasori's stupid puppet) who mysteriously vanished from the village a few years back ("more than ten years ago")
Gaara was the demon carrier since he was born, right? which means that his father was hokage when he was born (they wouldn't put the demon in just any child, right?).
Throw in some speculations about the time frame in which the 3rd kazakage went missing, and it seems that the 4th was Kazakage also at a very young age, so why are the council of kages so surprised by his (Gaara's) young age?
