I think the insatiable obsession with discovering so called “plot-holes” around here is hilarious. Many of these proclaimed “plot-holes” aren't even plot-holes to begin with, but simply anomalies that have yet to be explained. Does it make some of you feel smart, to think you caught a mistake from the author? Kishimoto probably doesn't even give a rat's ass, since the few retcons he actually does have usually gain significant approval, and even with these, its conceivable that he probably did them on purpose because he wanted the change as the manga has gone on pretty long and I think he may want to change his mind about certain things. Indeed, most of the millions of fans reading along are probably too busy enjoying the manga to act like the “forensics specialists” we have around here, combing through each chapter for “plot-holes”.

Whats probably even more comical to read are the members who, impulsively go on to create their own convoluted eventualities from mere possible hints, and complain about the author writing something that he didn't even write yet... And of course, their conclusions are quite often proven completely wrong, and in the face of all their ramblings, the story ends up making sense in a way they simply didn't anticipate.
