Yep I’m back
It’s been a while and the reason for my break was my education, I had very important exams coming up so I decided to take a two month break revising and making myself ready for those exams which are now finished hooray.Well enough of my real life issues it’s time for the Naruto issues which I will address in my Naruto chapter 451 review.
Just a note I’m going to try be impartial, somethings during this two months I’ve liked and some I haven’t and since the last time i revieved was when hinita announced her love, this is a fresh review and I will keep it impartial and only my thoughts on the current chapter alone. So I hope im not too rusty and you guys enjoy the review
Leaf can not be defeated.
Well now I see why Yamato was brought in as a character all those chapters ago, Kishi knew he was going to wipe Konoha clean and have Yamato replace it all hehehe. Nah on a serious note in the previous page I found the jounin reiterating the message the ideology the 3rd Hokage has been trying to install on the people of Konoha, im not surprised its by the same jounin who was the referee in the chuunin exams. He’s right they all being Konoha civilians they all hold the will of fire, even those who have left, and I think this is Kishi started to go back to the way he was in part 1 middle to ending arcs, but this time not the 3rd who would cherish this ideology but with Danzou he see’s things completely differently, can’t wait to see the contrast between the two leadership styles. Also that ideology may be a major factor to what may happen next.
Well with Konoha’s clone of the first Hokage rebuilding everything I find the scene with Naruto and Sakura very interesting, I know that with tsunade going unconscious Sakura maybe feeling a similar pain to Naruto, but how can she be thinking the way she does, Naruto lost jiraiya for good, he’s not coming back unless Naruto starts taking the oro route, Sakura's master is in a coma, and damn, my only criticism is why can’t shizune do anything, seems a bit like she’s in a coma for Kishi plot purpose, but that being the case it means tsunade probably will come back once he completes what he wants for the upcoming storyline.
Naruto has more on his shoulder than Sakura, and that’s my reason or my harsher feelings towards her thoughts, Kishi’s even made a effort with this entire story and arc to emphasis the problems on Naruto’s shoulders so why feature the issues of Sakura?
I think you mean HERO (singular)
Well its great to see these guys again, one thing I love in manga’s is when old characters aren’t completely disregarded and forgotten, and brought back with a purpose. I’m not talking about the purpose of helping rebuild Konoha, I doubt that Kishi going to even show any bit of the rebuilding of Konoha. As I said earlier, Kishi seems to be going back to roots, doing so to make the changes he’s about to administer even my shocking to us. These two also represent a bond first created in the Zabuza arc. I’m just happy to see these two back.
Sakura you got another admirer apart from lee
I laughed at little inari telling Sakura how pretty she was, though I find how she's blushing even more funny, you’d think that random statement would remind Naruto about Hinita but meh as long as it doesn’t become like rock lees love for Sakura then its all good lol. I have to say I found it a weak argument when the old man suggested he came as soon as he heard Konoha was in trouble, from the picture with the pain giant chibusu and the moon I guess I was night time, but unless a couple of days have passed I think the timelines a bit messed because with the arrive of team cloud, how could Konoha have sent a message and help come in less than a day. Time seems a bit confused. Though it seems that Naruto recruited yet another nation under his name, Sand, Waves, and Rain all have been hit by the Naruto effect and are in peace, I just wonder how Danzou being Hokage will change or mess with this Naruto country alliance.
Naruto’s maturity
Well with Kakashi arriving on the scene tazuna asks about Sasuke, revealing he wanted to talk to him, but I don’t think it’s anything serious, just to complete the whole reminiscing of the good old days. The question left Sakura and Naruto speechless, Naruto even looked at Sakura and knew how bad this was making her feel so before Kakashi was about to reveal what happened, Naruto gives quite a honest yet not so honest revelation of the truth, not letting on to their old friends that Sasuke has become a bad guy, still holding strong to his thought, and goal to bring Sasuke back, funny how Inari thinks its because of a love triangle.
Must say why Kishi is putting things like that when Hinita and Naruto still got things to talk about
.Naruto truly understands him
Well a set of flashbacks from Kishi is just what’s needed to lengthen a chap… I mean show a new connection. I remember when Naruto was told about jiraiya, his words I recall were I will avenge him, it had crossed my mind, was Naruto going to becoming more like Sasuke. But it seems like Kishi has had this planned, apart from the obvious of j-mans death, it’s also allowed for Naruto to feel the same bond breakage Sasuke felt, it allows Naruto to be able to talk from the heart to Sasuke, but with Danzou as head of konoha well it won’t be as easy for Naruto to make team 7 including Sasuke laugh again.
Kishi placing Sasuke’s flashback works well straight after Naruto’s speech, Naruto understands know and if someone who has lost that bonds can take narutto’s view and forgive, it may open the incoming Sasuke’s eyes to a different way of life, a different future.
Oh So true
I must say it’s amusing the ninja can complains, especially when he saying what crappy timing, same could be said about recent events isn’t that right Kishi? Well after months of waiting for this information to reach Konoha, it finally does, surprising how Izuna and his grampa could make it to Konoha faster than a hawk flying from cloud when bee’s brother found out about his so called brothers capture. Again timing is a little on the poor side but at least things are finally moving along again. Though I must wonder, what is the problem the ninja bursting in is speaking of?
News spreads on the new Hokage in town
Well just as the team of cloud realise and are told that Konoha was attacked and witness what’s happen to Konoha’s Hokage, they are dumfounded as to what to do needing an awnser straight away, but the chaos is cleared up when, instead of a substitute leader until tsunade wakes up, the new Hokage Danzou announces tsunades been releaved of her duties, the shock in shizune’s face shows how serious she thinks this is, and upon opening this letter with one hand (yeah how did he open I with one hand) Danzou has his first official decision to make, the first decision which will reveal the type of leader Danzou will be.
It Begins
I have to admit Danzou seems like one cool Hokage, the story takes a change, and my views on the future of story has changed too, I used to think Danzou would be a Hokage he wants to lock Naruto up, who wants to start useless wars, he’s just going to cause unnecessary trouble, But this decision moves Konoha away from war, imagine Tsunade, she’d probably have said no to Sasuke being treated as a missing nin leading to a war between an angry brother and Konoha. To me it isn’t much of a cold decision, it’s what should have been done ages ago, but I’m happy it’s done now hopefully the tempo of the storyline is increased as Sasuke will become a true missing nin, fighting anbu to protect his own life.
But as the manga message states, how Naruto reacts to this is the crucial change in how this story will turn out, Naruto can either accept this (yea we know he won’t) or speak out against this, or act out against this, it will most likely be a combination of the last two, but bring it back to itachi’s speech to Naruto, how can he protect both Konoha and bring Sasuke home when they both conflict.
Rate the chapter
8 out of 10
It is a good chapter, but a few inconsistencies and a lack of other development which I believe maybe hopefully saved for later, like Naruto telling people who is father was and Naruto talking to Hinita after she declared her love and almost sacrificed herself for him.
Predictions
I predict Naruto getting angry and maybe Naruto explaining to Kakashi about Nagato and how Danzou was at fault. It be interesting to see where Kishi plans on taking this story especially with Sasuke on his way, round 2 of Naruto vs. Sasuke is coming. Especially after Naruto said he wants to fight with Sasuke, we all know what happened in part 1 when he said that.
Well that’s the end of my review it’s not my best I must say but I’ll strive to improve again so I’m even better than I was, you views and comments on both the chapter and the review are truly appreciated.
Hopefully I can make this a regular review again, but things are looking to be getting very compact this summer with the stuffy I need to get done, hope I can release another review next week.
Damn forgot how hard this thing can be hehe
