Ahahaha... so last week i said that:
Gaara: Shinji
Gaara's dad: Gendou
This week i must add:
Karura: Yui
Even the loves me/loves me not thingie came up, not to mention the protection that a mother gives to his son (that was so EVA!).
BTW, that was a nice chapter, a rarely brief flashback, nice lines by Mizukage and some action.
