    thx admit alot

  2. ????:

    Hi Xeros do you read the manga now?

  3. Xeros:

    Yeah, thx for the website. I can see whats happening sucks that Sasuke is an akatsuki. But, pretty sad what Itachi had to do.

  4. e_ward27:

    Thank you admin!!! Wow…ü

  5. Daiske:

    I’m excited in the incoming movie hehe

  6. Nico-Uzimaki:

    This episode didn’t have much action. It is somewhat of a preview of what is to come. We can now conclude that ‘The King’ is the next generation of Konoha (I think, I made that assumption a few episodes back). So, there are only two Jinchuurikis left, since Hidan and Kakuzu are on a rampage and have already killed five.

    These Akatsuki are kage level shinobi and the fire country is their next destination. I was amazed at Hidan’s nonchalance upon facing the two-tailed cat. But I was also a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to see more of the fight. Yoguito is such a pretty lady;such a shame that she have to die.

    Sai, seemed quite happy with Naruto next to him showing legs (lol). Too bad Sakura was there, who knows, he probably would have made another pass at Naruto (LMAO).

    On a more serious note, there are perilous times ahead. I just hope this ‘new jutsu’ that Naruto is about to learn, will be enough to ward of these Akatsuki goons.

    KOICHIWA!!!!

  8. leelover:

    Naruto can get anoying…VERY!!!!!!!!!!!!! why scream allll the f%$*ing time…

  9. ????:

    Thats just how Naruto is We all love this anime People
    so we should be used to how Naruto is by now ( He’s just like his Mom COUGH*COUGH*)
    And Nico I don’t want to Spoil anything but Lets just sa this new jutsu is not
    differrent from rasengan but is much more powerful

  10. Nico-Uzimaki:

    I know,????, but rasengan is a close-range jutsu; most of the Akatsuki (if not all of them) are mid range to long range fighters. This will present a great challenge for Naruto. Plus, high level jutsu always comes with a price! In any event, Naruto is in no condition to fight Sasuke but he might outwit an Akatsuki. It gets interesting from here on out!

    what’s up with Hidan and his Jashin rituals (massacre)?

  11. ????:

    Yeah Thats verry True Nico
    Oh yeah In that american Naruto fanbook
    Fans Say that Sasuke has a better chance of being a couple with
    Ino then Sakura But Who wants Sasuke to be with Ino!? I know I Don’t!!!
    If you ask Me Naruto and Sakura Sasuke and Hinata And Sai With Ino

  12. Lys Amashi:

    OMG!!!Cool ep!

  13. admin:

    hello boys and girls! Nico, i had to rewatch to notice Sai checking narutos legs out. :) Also, i agree that the King refers to the next generation. The scene with Konohamaru and Iruka briefly talked about the next generation helping to rebuild Konoha, and also the conversation between Kakashi and Asuma about the Next Generation. Alright i have been busy and have not read the manga! am off now.

  14. Hiruhi Natsume:

    73 dammit .

  15. ????:

    Well Sai does look like the gay type (LOL)

  16. sexyrocklee:

    Man i thought we were going to see the 2 tailed go crazy,but all we get is see what it looks like
    and then cut to hidans’ ritual and the girl hanging from the wall. Well least the story is back
    on track. I really hope the 8 tailed survives,maybe he might be able to teach naruto how to
    completely control the demon fox(if possible),does anyone else think the 8th bijuu looks more
    like a donkey then a bee? Anyway if naruto could tap into the kyuubi anytime he wanted to
    with no adverse effects,then he wouldn’t have to fear what would happen to his’s friends he
    is protecting when he does tap into the kyuubi,really i just like seeing naruto putting the
    kyuubi in his place,and letting him know who is boss,kyuubi rasengan maybe. Also it would be
    nice to see naruto completely master rasengan befor he fights anymore higher level opponents.

  17. admin:

    battles in naruto are quite predictable - the losing party will ultimately triumph. They love the come-back effect. Sasuke is critically injured, but i bet you the 8th tailed will lose. Just watch!
    :)

  18. sexyrocklee:

    on another note,sai thinks ino is ugly so i don’t think its going to happen,and i doubt that
    sasuke will ever return to the village(besides to take out the elders),also,hinata only has
    the hots for naruto,and sakura thinks of naruto as a friend(well really more of a punching bag),
    really i think choji is going to get ino,she seems to show a bit of interest in him,so i think
    the paring is off a bit,but really couldn’t tell you who’s going to be with who.

  19. sexyrocklee:

    and your right admin,it always ends up that the loser is the winner,why must everyone get the
    crap kicked out of them before they win,i think the only fight were this didn’t apply was the
    asuma hidan fight(asuma really did lose bad)for once i want to see naruto owne someone,even if
    it is just once. Do you think well ever see 5 tailed demon cloak?

  20. ????:

    Well my match ups make sense to me but whatever
    any way the eight tails looks totally retarded cause it looks like a friggin
    wooden ox wiith tenacles for tails like some freaking unibeast WTF!!!!!

  21. sexyrocklee:

    wow this sight here is really great you should check it out,its all about the bijuu,lots
    of info on them,surprise surprise,the kybuui is the “king of bijuu”(well in legend anyway)

He’ll still be SEXY no matter what happens!!! and i agree with Choji+Ino the one crack paring im in love with is Deidara+Tenten to me its not a crack paring my fav parings r Tentenneji RockleeTenten DeidaraTenten GaaraSakura SasukeSakura NarutoHinata… I HATE HINATA!!! WHO IN THE HELL THINKS ITS NEJIHINATA????? WTF THERE F#%@^ING COUSINGS!!!

    O_o

  23. sexyrocklee:

    what you never heard of cousin loven before XD

  24. hi:

    I watched episode 73 on veoh .com

  25. ????:

    WE KNOW AND DIDN’T ADMIN SAY NOT TO SPOIL ANYTHING!!!!???
    though you are right Neji and hinata are cousins A Gaara and Sakura is
    just wrong but why does everyone insist on sasuke and not Naruto to
    be with Sakura? Sasuke never saw Sakura as more than a friend and
    I don’t think Sakura’s temper issues will work out with him which
    is why I say Hinata and Sasuke(i’m not the only one who thinks this cause
    people made sasuke and hinata videos on youtube =D)

  26. ????:

    I’m starting to put my ideas on paper
    (if only I could write in japanese and
    mail them to Masashi-san O_o)
    though I do have a japanese dictionary

  27. Nico-Uzimaki:

    ????, don’t worry, you don’t have to speak Japanese to make suggestions. I would assume that most naruto fans does not speak Japanese.

    Now, this whole pairing off business is just ridiculous. These people are ninjas, they hardly have time to worry over such things because they probably won’t live long enough to enjoy a life with their family anyways. take Asuma for example. Gaaara and naruto didn’t even know their parents and Sasori’s died while he was quite young too.
