Looky what Neko found!

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you what is likely the least relevant thing you have ever read.

Y'see, I've been reading back to the way, way early chapters of Naruto, reliving my favorite moments and all that jazz.

So I get to the chapters with Zabuza, and having read these chapters a good half-dozen times before, I'm not paying so much attention to the words themselves, just looking at the purdy ninjas. And in this looking, I come across one tiny detail.

which page and chapter is that?

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Chapter 11. I forget the page number, it's right when Team 7 first sees Zabuza.

[shiny-glor-chan.livejournal.com]

O_O! Holy fuck! *checked herself* Funny thing is, a few pages before, he WAS wearing the right headband... Kishi-sama, tsk tsk.

[darksideofstorm.livejournal.com]

bzuh? *stares*

curse you Kishimoto and your endless plot holes! Curse yoooou!

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much my reaction.

It's like he's asking for people to come up with crack theories.

[weeaboo.livejournal.com]

WUT.

[kaworu-chan.livejournal.com]

O_O It's true!
But it has to be a mistake, hasn't it?

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Yup. Guess Kishi decided to draw before having his morning coffee or something. :P

[kaworu-chan.livejournal.com]

Think the same, cause there's a whole story behind Zabuza... It's really incredible.

[allhisengines.livejournal.com]

maybe im blind...but what the hell is that?

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Apparently Zabuza stole some poor Konoha-nin's headband and wears it at random internvals.

[panksters.livejournal.com]

Fuck him for stealing my idea-- OMG MY DOG SMELLS *can't finish comment because of death*

[wolfpilot06.livejournal.com]

Konoha hitae-ate, rather than the Kiri one he should be wearing. :)

**Wolf**

[allhisengines.livejournal.com]

ooooooh! now i see it. thanks X3

[xaeon.livejournal.com]

Its the leaf village symbol.

[rinnychan.livejournal.com]

XDD It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong with it. "Bwuh? Is the headband in the wrong position? Does his hair look funny? Does--oh. OH. Wow. Damn." I havent had my morning coffee, either. XD

[lazzchan.livejournal.com]

o_O

oh wow...

[astoldbydebbie.livejournal.com]

O_O

Also, if you read volume 5, there's a guy wearing a headband that has a crescent moon on it. New village...?

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Oooh.

I'll have to check that out when my dad's done borrowing my volumes . . .

[astoldbydebbie.livejournal.com]

Your dad borrows your volumes too?
Annoying, ne? xD

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

A little, but it's fun watching him spaz when I bring him new volumes. I actually had to sit next to him while he read 8 & 9 so I could see all his facial expressions. XD

[astoldbydebbie.livejournal.com]

XD
My dad read volume 1 on a plane and nearly spilt his coffee when he saw the SasuNaru kiss- I had to persuade him to continue
^-^

What's made me laugh most is that he was convinced for ages that Neji was a girl!

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Hee! I didn't see my dad's reaction to the kiss, but he's generally cool with stuff like that.

He's still a little mad at Neji, though. (He just finished volume 9 . . .)

[astoldbydebbie.livejournal.com]

My dad asked me why I was reading "literal girl-on-girl action". It was quite funny
^-^
He even once said "She has hair and a temper like yours!" in front of a group of my die-hard Naruto friends!

His favourite character is Jiraya though
-_-

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Ha. M'dad's favorite is Rock Lee. Though I'm pretty sure he'll be fond of Jiraiya once he meets him. X)

[napkins.livejournal.com]

really? what chapter? I was rereading it, and i couldn't find him.

[dusk.livejournal.com]

o_O; Wow. Never noticed that before... *goes back to look for it in her shonen jump*

[aradiantsun.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, that's great. I showed my dad (he's the moest enthusiastic 50 year-old -tard of this series, I kid you not) and he thought it was shocking. Thank you for pointing it out. *gives Kishimoto a noogie*

[blondebeaker.livejournal.com]

Ok this is how you can tell how tired and how much coffee I need:

I thought Zabuza was Kakashi. O_o

*sigh* I'm off to drink some coffee now.

[scorpio1995.livejournal.com]

waisn't Zabuza an s-class criminal? maybe he's using it as a disguise or something, you know, to push him further away from the Swordsman of the Mist. just a guess. (far-fetched, i know)

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

That would make a good explanation . . . but just a few panels before he was wearing a mist band. It looks more like Kishimoto just made a little continuity goof.

[lazynin.livejournal.com]

*just had to check for self and, well, yep, there it is* Oh, Kishi, you just love to stir up trouble in the fandom, dont you~ <3

[felkwafi.livejournal.com]

Hahah, that's crazy!
But at first glance, i was kind of hoping you'd found Zabuza's bald spot...

[velcro-panda.livejournal.com]

Dear god, THANK YOU.
I thought the exact same thing.
Me: 'What the hell am i looking for? His bald spot??
Oh. Wait. Never mind. >>;;'

[lain-chan16.livejournal.com]

Wow...for a seconds there I thought it was a bald spot ^^;;

[mogurachan.livejournal.com]

I'll bring the juice and cookies!

[hi-no-neko.livejournal.com]

Ooh, ooh! I'll bring the pop-tarts!

'cause you gotta have pop-tarts. Mm, strawberry!

[0x.livejournal.com]

HARDCORE!

[-monteh-.livejournal.com]

HOMGWUT.

Srsly, one plot hole after another in the early chapters :D~

[ilandere123.livejournal.com]

My first thought: Yeah his hair really is horrific :D

After taking a closer look: OOOOOOOOOO 8D;;

[shounenhero.livejournal.com]

The crack theories -- they're endless!

[napkins.livejournal.com]

*snickers* wow Kishi-sensei must not have been focusing on that one.....

the other thing I noticed while rereading is that Kishi's was getting laazy with the spirals on the Konoha hitai-ate. compare the symbols from the beginning to the symbols now- about two rotations less. Kishi's just being laaazy.....^_^

[selenia-actimel.livejournal.com]

Zabuza just wanted to impress kakashi... XDDDDDD

[asyona.livejournal.com]

wtf
