245 & 246 seems more like a prologue to Part 2, and I do hope that Kishimoto will pick up with more character depth that sets his style apart [from other shounen mangaka]. As much as the bell training seems...strange, short, and not up to par with other arcs, Naruto and Sakura's growth are really natural, and, well, as I've been saying, it seems like it's still trying to pick up its momentum after the evident pause.
Since everything will start happening again in half a year or so, I don't expect only NaruSaku for long...afterall, because Sasuke is a huge part of Naruto's life (whether as a couple or no), I don't think Kishimoto will just cut Sasuke out as just another bad guy, thus my anticipation of Sasuke's appearence soon. (Killing Sasuke's character will just not do: fans like him too much, and so does Kishimoto ^^)
So...it's going to be Sannin but better, eh? Since as some fellow SasuNaru fan pointed out, "Orochimaru and Jiraiya were rivals, but never friends. Sasuke and Naruto are good friends, and that could change everything."
Oh, by the way: Silly Kakashi...
Sakura's growth is not really natural at all; she's too obviously a 2nd generation copy of Tsunade, which doesn't really make much sense for anything other than making a copy of the original Sannin.
ReplyDeleteIf it's too forced, it's not good anymore, just...dumb.
I also seem to remember Naruto and Sasuke being compared to the founding brothers of Konoha? (Although I don't believe anyone ever mentioned why...)
HAPPY BiRTHDAY, NEE-CHAN!!!!!!!!! OTANJOUBi OMEDETOU GOZAiMASUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! ^^
