Kishimoto Masashi - Naruto, ch. 345-347

[oyceter]

To be quite honest, chapters 345-346 are a bit of a blur for me, but 347! Kishimoto, you have no shame! Rock on.

So in the prior chapter, we have Orochimaru becoming a giant white snake -- with hair! I feel like I would take him much more seriously as a villain if he didn't have a skanky prehensile tongue (ew, ew, and more ew). Also, snake with hair! It's been two weeks since that came out, and I still think it's funny! I mean... snake! With hair!

Um, yes, I am twelve.

Also, now that Sasuke has subsumed Orochimaru or whatever, I am even more confused! Why? Why the shapeshifting villain who leaves me completely confused because I have problems with facial recognition anyway and having someone who changes faces every other chapter does not help?

Because she is evil, rilina popped by and made me read the latest Naruto chapter, to which I had the following reactions...

(I apologize in advance for the multiple use of allcaps, though I feel it's rather justified by the chapter contents.)

oyceter: GAAAAH WHO IS THE NAKED PERSON WITH THE TEETH OMG MY EYES!
rilina: Yes, that was my reaction. It gets better (worse?).
(page reference)
oyceter: GAH OMG HE IS NAKED BEHIND SASUKE OMG GAH! Sorry. But. GAH!
rilina: Yes, that was my reaction too. It still gets better (worse?). Also, THE GAY.
oyceter: Teh gay.

oyceter: Hee, ok, that is the best Sakura "The horror! The horror!" face yet.
rilina: I am waiting with baited breath. My reaction: OH MY BRAIN.
(page reference)
oyceter: OMG YAOI NINJUTSU FOR THE WIN! OMG THAT ROCS! ROCKS.

oyceter: Also, YAOI NINJUTSU OMG
rilina: As I said in my post, most fanservicey chapter ever
oyceter: You are so right!

oyceter: OMG I still cannot get over yaoi ninjutsu.
rilina: Now you see why I had to ping you. [break] I think Sakura is writing RPF about Sasuke.
oyceter: Except now the images of naked Sasuke and naked tooth guy are burned into my brain, and I will never be able to scrub them out. [re: RPF] I think she is too.
rilina: [re: skanky naked guys] Although it was pretty funny how Sasuke was like, "Get some clothes on dude."
oyceter: [re: RPF] I think she shares them with Ino and Hinata. [re: skanky naked guys] Yeah! He's so evil he can't pick up on the skanky subtext
rilina: [re: RPF] But who would Hinata slash Naruto with?
oyceter: Maybe she co-authors Naruto/Sasuke slash with Sakura and Ino. Or! Oooo! She writes Neji/Naruto.
rilina: Yes! I was just about to suggest that.

Clearly I am not pervy enough, because I can't get past the way Naked Sasuke had Sasuke's stupid current hair, even though no one has seen it.

I always figured the sexy-no-jutsu babes were made up by the person doing the jutsu, but maybe they reflect the fantasies of the target. The true power of the technique!

Oh, hee, I didn't even notice that in the "OMG most fanservice-y chapter ever!" insanity.
