I don't know what was the most hilarious part of this chapter.
Naruto lamentably failling his new jutsu, the fact that this new jutsu just seems to be a more destructive Rasengan, Chouji being told again to stay out of serious business, Kakazu trying to kill a Jinchuuriki or Kishimoto proving once and for all that teamwork is for suckers. |

Yep boring chapter...
I think it's only called shuriken because of it's shape, and the shape is of a shuriken cause it's stil to unstable and the wind isn't compressed enougth so it leaks from the rasengan in form of blades.. this variation really sucks. hope the next one to be a lot better... |

Filler chapter. Although the art was nice.
A shuriken you can't throw? Naruto is still Naruto. Naruto as a cool elite guy felt odd anyway. I'm sure he'll do better next week, but he'll always be a goofy guy. Poor Choji. They treat him like a child. And Ino mocking Naruto was too much. I love Ino and will always be a ShikaIno fan, but she has done nothing in this fight and should keep her mouth shut. |

Although this wasn't the most exciting chapter, I still think it was necessary (kind of). It would have been nice to be shown an evolution of naruto where he acts serious, plans, and executes. But that's not Naruto and not how the series has gone. We really haven't seen too many light Naruto moments recently. Its been very serious for the bulk of the second half. The only moments I can remember with Naruto being himself happened in the first few of chapters. So this chapter kind of took the series back to its light/goofy roots even though it breaks up the tone that the preceding chapters set for the arc.

Enough with the idiot Naruto for the love of god, show more interesting characters. I know thats what the series is called but come on. Where's kiba and shino. Why cant they help in this fight instead of showing the gay Sai all over again.

This is the most pathetic powered-up hero debut ever
To give credit though, it is more realistic than Naruto just suddenly being able to kick Akatsuki ass. They could add a bit more action though. And for God's sake, have Ino and Chouji do something already. Quote:

On the bright side if we forget about the faillure of his new jutsu I think this is the first time we actually see how much Naruto's basic skills have improved.
With only 3 clones Naruto cleanly outmaneuvered Kakuzu, had he used a regular Rasengan Kakuzu would have lost a heart here. Oh and Yamato shows off again the never ending use of his Mokuton jutsu |

Too bad the jutsu didn't last long enough for him to kill Kakuzu. This doesn't show idiocy from Naruto's part. That's something Yamato should have thought about before letting him go! No, this was bad luck because they couldn't predict how long the Fuuton - Rasenshuriken stays fully loaded. I think it has a lot to do with the way it's made, amount of chakra and time. They didn't expect it to work out after 10 seconds or so. During training, they couldn't know, since it was always direct and instant hits. |

-Ok, now to keep my promise I made yesterday. For this chapter BOOOOOOOOOO! For God's sake, we wait a week to actually see Naruto prove himself in a 1-on-1 Akatsuki Level combat and this is what we get?! Mother******* bull**** on a platform! I haven't been this dissapointed since Sasuke's re-introduction. What a horrid, horrid chapter. I can understand Kishimoto wanting to prolong the fight but this is too damn ridiculous. Honestly if there's a moral that can be derived from this chapter is that Naruto is a complete moron without entering into his Tailed-modes. Why Kishimoto wants to kill off any possibility of Naruto becoming strong in his own right I have absolutely no idea...

As usual in here when there´s not a lot of blood in the chapter. It´s "BORING"! I found this chapter to be good. The ending was cliché, but still, it´s nice to see something that doesn´t happen to often when the main character makes his grand and super-hyped entrance with his new superjutsu. He screws up! Not to forget Naruto´s reaction, if he doesn´t want to stay as a child he should probably work a bit with his behavior. But don´t fret. Perhaps he´ll show us that jutsu next chapter. (I still believe that on the next Jiraiya x Naruto travel, we will get to see it. If we still doesn´t get to see it I´ll give it up. ) // It´s got to suck being the mangaka of a show that gets bashed because of too little goosebumps-moments and too little action everytime he tries do to something more or less unexpected or provide us with so called talking-chapters.

Question: Did Kakashi use Rakiri to cut Naruto loose or did he just put chakra into his hand like Neji? He shouldn''t be able to use Rakiri. |

It seems that Kishi didn't want to end Kakuzu or put him in trouble in only one try from Naruto. That's understandable, but still the way to achieve it is not fun.
I hope the complete version of this jutsu becomes a throwable one, or Naruto can create wind element based extensions to create the necessary speed for the jutsu to reach its attacker much earlier than him reaching. |
