Hope yet for Gaara?

[kylara.livejournal.com]

After reading the poorly translated script lordkefka linked to just a post before this one...


Deidara takes off with Gaara. Why?! Well, what other reason than that Gaara still has a use?

What we know:
* Akatsuki are creating new Jinchuuriki.
* When a demon is extracted from its host, the host dies.
* The sealing of a demon requires a human sacrifice (re: Yondaime, Gaara's mother, etc.)

And then, one logical leap of faith / a pretty safe assumption:
* the point of the ritual Akatsuki just performed was to take the shukaku and place it inside of Deidara.

Maybe the process of transferring the Shukaku isn't completed yet, and Gaara is still alive. Once Gaara finally dies, the Shukaku will be completely sealed inside of Deidara (in the same way that when Gaara's mother died, the shukaku was sealed inside of her son). If Deidara was worried about Gaara being healed and saved by Tsunade's star student Sakura, it makes sense for him to take off until the process is completed.

So, a few theories on what's to come in following chapters:

1* Deidara is killed, and since the pull/strain of extracting Shukaku is cut off, Gaara will wake up with the shukaku still safely sealed inside him.

2* Sasori is dealt with, and Sakura makes it in time to revive Gaara herself, stopping the transfer process since there is no human sacrifice to complete it.

3* Sasori is dealt with, but there's still a problem of the sealing of Shukaku, in which case Granny reseals the shukaku inside Gaara, possibly sacrificing herself in the process.

Or maybe a combination of any of the above... *shrugs* What do you guys think?

I usually post these speculations in my journal, but I'm feeling bold tonight and thought I'd put this somewhere that people are more likely to comment on it. ^^;

* Akatsuki are creating new Jinchuuriki.

We don't actually know this. Chiyo says it's the only reason she can think of, and it seems like a logical conclusion, since there doesn't seem to be anything else to do with a Bijuu once it's extracted. However, she's not really in a position to know for sure.

It seemed to me that whatever was going on, Deidara was involved in the jutsu, not receiving Shukaku. Shukaku--I assume it was Shukaku--seemed to be going into that idol. Perhaps they will transfer it later, or perhaps it will hold Shukaku and the other Bijuu until... well... Akatsuki does whatever it is they plan on doing with them. I've seen people mention the fact that most of it's eyes were blank in relation to that.

Since there wasn't a human sacrifice--Gaara not withstanding, since I think he'd die either way if Shukaku is removed--I'd venture to say that Shukaku isn't in another human vessel at this point.

[moebot.livejournal.com]

I agree.
I love the smarmy little bastard.
I mean, he sat on Gaara. He sat on the frickin' Kazekage. He is awesome.

BUTTSEKZ.

Deidara takes off with Gaara. Why?!

I think we all know the answer to that one. And I have no doubt that someone, somewhere, is writing a fic about it right now.

LoL!!! Yeah, probably. Oh man, that's something to think about, isn't it? I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry when I read that. *will secretly be checking aff.net for updates over the next week* XD

[kylara.livejournal.com]

Naruto will run up to the alter to confess his love to Gaara, but right before Gaara can find words to respond, Itachi will show up. *gasp* =O

[kylara.livejournal.com]

I'll drink to that.

(Did you know you have the same birthday as me? :o)

[kylara.livejournal.com]

But what if you could only choose one?

Quick! Gaara and Deidara are in two separate burning buildings! Which one will you run into and rescue?! You only have time for one!

[kylara.livejournal.com]

Haha, I know, he's such a smug bastard. XD I can't wait to see what really happens in the manga this week. I want to see him turn tail on Sasori!

[deidarachan.livejournal.com]

ICON LOVE. <3

I really, really doubt they're going to infuse the Shuukaku into Deidara. Deidara would become too powerful, and the Akatsuki aren't the most LOYAL bunch around. Good example is Itachi's hissy fit in the last chapter.
I think they're going to do something even greater with the demons they get. Maybe infuse them all together and create some weapon of mass destruction, sorta.

And for Gaara... I'll still be in denial and think he's only unconscious for now. >_>;;;;;

And Chiyo will hopefully probably die in the near future. She's so friggin old. >.>;;;!!!
Then again, where will the KakaxGranny OTP go!?? XD

Random commenter!

Let's have Kisame barf out a whole ocean and save them from the fire and instead drown them all!

GASP. YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE SEXUAL ROMANTIC TENSION BETWEEN THEM? SHAME ON YOU. XD

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

I am in love with your crack pairings. XD

[findingbliss.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah, I know. Sad, really.

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, somebody should make a fanlisting for KakaxGranny.

It will be the best!
