HAY HIDAN U LOOK KINDA KEWL! So we get to see Asuma strut his stuff, Shikamaru goes scared, and Hidan looks like Skeletor! All in all, it's a good, action packed chapter- with enough Hidan to service some fangirls to boot.

*faints over Hidan licking blood*

Okay, his awesomeness level just shot up 1000%. And his crazy looking transformation...O__o MUST HAVE TRANSLATION. And Kakuzu's entrance was kick-ass. ♥

CONCUR CONCUR

*GLEE*

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

*nod* Thirded. Hidan kicked ass; Kakuzu kicked ass. They both looked badass. Everyone else looked confused and scared. Ha ha! Akatsuki wins the chapter! XD Vye is happy. ^-^ Yes.

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

*is even more gleeful because all the icons used in this post so far are of Hidan XD*

Oh man, I can't wait to see where Kishi goes with this. @__@ I do love how Kakuzu is just standing back and calmly watching over the fight...♥ I think I'm warming up to Mr. Scrooge.

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

>:)

I love Kakuzu. His entrance rocked. I think because Hidan is very flashy and funny, Kakuzu has not had enough of the spotlight. That's not to say Hidan isn't great, because he is, but because Kakuzu isn't a pretty boy (like Kisame and Sasori initially got ignored in favour of their partners) he's getting ignored a bit. I think that's how the fandom mind works... But he'll have his time in the sun to show us all what he can do. >:)

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

I tend to like obscure characters myself (I don't find Deidara endearing, honestly. XD) and the only reason Kakuzu didn't garner much of my attention was because of his money-obsession. XD BUT, the dynamics in his partnership with Hidan are amusing to no end, so he's climbing up the favourites list for me. ♥

And YES, I can't wait to see Kakuzu's moves. And I'd die of happy if Kakuzu and Hidan had a jutsu they could do together. Make use of the partnership, no?

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

But you must admit 99% of people polled did find Deidara endearing...XD (But he's most endearing with his partner. And I don't mean Tobi!!!)

I love Kakuzu's money grabbing antics (Hidan is keeping him out of this fight by promising him the bounty! Oh Hidan, you sure know how to be persuasive! XD). I have never seen any shinobi quite so motivated by money before, but it's obviously not his sole motivation; I want to know why he keeps warning Hidan to watch himself (not as sure as Hidan is, quite clearly) and how many partners of his have needed replacing until Sir Leader found one he couldn't break!

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Thinking on it, as I don't think you're on my friends list (dunno why not...O_O), I only did a cartoon of our fearless lads this afternoon as I was complaining about not being paid on time, which I posted to my journal;



Don't usually post doodles here, but since I am feeling celebratory....XD Spread the love!

[ultrasushi.livejournal.com]

Lulz, yen hitai-ate FTW. ♥

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

AHAHA. Love Kakuzu's facial expression. ♥ And Hidan's chest. XD

Also, yes. I too do not know why we are not on each other's f-lists. :O Commence the friending?

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Yay! *friends*

[secludedly.livejournal.com]

Lmao.

[hideko.livejournal.com]

Omg your icon~. <3! I'd love to know where you got that image. X3

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

Heehee. ♥

I got the image from chapter 312 of the manga and coloured it. ^__^

Here's the page~

[hideko.livejournal.com]

That is.. amazing then. Wow. *-* Thanks for the intel!

[ultrasushi.livejournal.com]

I'M WORRIED ABOUT SHIKAMARU. AND ASUMA. D:

Kishimoto, please don't kill them. DX

[bahka-dee-koon.livejournal.com]

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THEM, TOO.
A-And they're my two most favorite people in the world, fkgjdfgjdfg. Asuma was so cute this chapter. ♥

[nayamashiimigot.livejournal.com]

I'm worried about them as well...I love them both.

I would rather not have to add a black swath of cloth around the arm to my Butterfly Chouji costume..

Though I can't shake the feeling that Hidan kicked a lot of ass today..

[heronite.livejournal.com]

Yeees, Asuma has a better and better chance of dying! I Asuma dies, then Shikamaru will have to use the experience to find a way against Hidan. And since he'd likely not be able to do so along...

InoShikaChou! \m/ ^_^ \m/

Unless all he does is team up with Naruto (boo).

And (team?) Kurenai might be dragged into this mess as well. ♥_♥

[splintered-soul.livejournal.com]

InoShikaChou mmmmmmm ♥♥♥

Though I'm not sure if Asuma will die this battle, but get mortaly injured.

[ninja-demongirl.livejournal.com]

Hidans already for Halloween :D

[clannoire.livejournal.com]

Oh, Asuma's gonna die anyway. Let's just see the Akatsuki kick ass while doing it. >=D

[anterogradenova.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Asuma is a goner. But don't you realize? That's gonna launch Ino, Chouji, and Shikamaru into "we will kick ass for sure!" mode. And that wins ^_^

Gotta love that "you killed my sensei!" dynamic that works so well in japanese warrior stories.

And Hidan's tounge was the best thing since evar. When we get some HQ versions, I'll definitely be icon-ing that.

[blooming-cosmo.livejournal.com]

OMFG....NO ASUMA YOU MUST LIVE...*sobs* omg Asuma....no don't die. *dies a little on the inside* T_____T

Akatsuki and Asuma...my senses have gone haywire...

[tika-veilan.livejournal.com]

I guess I am the only person who thinks that Hidan`s new look is lame. No religious stuff in Naruto, please. :////

[ninja-demongirl.livejournal.com]

I second this. Thought it was gonna be better but its kinda mundane

[synthetyk.livejournal.com]

I like it because it reminds me of The Misfits... and religion makes me laugh.

[queenoftea.livejournal.com]

It makes me giggle, but I don't mind it; nice reminder not to take Naruto so very seriously.

[doggiedynasty.livejournal.com]

Don't kill my sexy Konoha boys!

Shika, Kotestu and Izumo look so pwned T.T; Like "God, now what's gonna happen?"

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Hidan, you're pretty but touch again Asuma and I'll have to give you a correction ^^.

But yeah, Akatsuki won that round o_O... painfully ^^.

[kingbird.livejournal.com]

Hidan is definitely starting to grow on me, but I hope Kakuzu gets equal page time 'cause he seems pretty darn cool. :3

I'm also hoping that this battle won't last 50 chapters, and if it absolutely has to, I want to see what's happening with everyone else in the meantime. Plus I have a short attention span.

[napkins.livejournal.com]

Hidan, honey, Halloween's more than a month away.....

Must say that I have seen more amusing frames in this chapter alone than I have in awhile. I love the OMGDOOM! look on Shika's face when Kakuzu appears behind him.

Asuma's toast. That's all I have to say on that.

[secludedly.livejournal.com]

Yay you had to make it an icon, too! lol. I mean, how can ya not, right?

[napkins.livejournal.com]

^_^ Oh man, yours is so much better! Then again, I did mine on a school computer during lunch, but it seriously was too good a panel to pass up XD.

[jay-apex.livejournal.com]

I foresaw something like that happening to Shikamaru: Kakuzu coming up behind him and hitting him.

[queenoftea.livejournal.com]

OH HIDAAAAAAN ~ And Kakuzu gets panels yey! This is promising!

Asuma: it was nice knowing you. ;_;

[rasenth.livejournal.com]

*plays a dirge for Asuma* >_>;;;

But hey! We get to FINALLY see Hidan in ACTION! XD
God, I can't believe Hidan says he's the slowest in the Akatsuki group. o__o;; Everybody else must move like LIGHTNING.

[csc-lupisstone.livejournal.com]

Hidan and Kakuzu = FTW

AsumaShika = OHYES!

Me = happily sedated from utter love of Akatsuki PWNAGE.

[secludedly.livejournal.com]

This chapter has been fantastic. I want to see Shikamaru prove himself... and maybe Asuma, too. Maybe he can redeem himself from the absolute ownage Itachi gave him and Kurenai. According to what Asuma has gotten away with though so far, it seems Hidan would be much weaker than Itachi though. I'm curious as to where and what business Oro and Sasuke has with Akatsuki because now that Akatsuki is getting most of the page time in these new story arcs, I'm curious for Sasuke's return again. I doubt he'll take up his business with Itachi, but... I'm hoping any chapter now Sasuke is seen. I definitely see Asuma dying, but I'm just hoping it isn't the case. I'm wondering so many things that can be wrong, and seem too obvious. I HATE WAITING A WEEK BUT MAN DOES ANTICIPATION HELP ME INDULGE EVEN MORE-SO IN EACH WEEKS MANGA!

[secludedly.livejournal.com]

Oh... and Kakuzu's appearance was absolutely awesome. Just from that silent, empty scene, I fell in love with him for a moment. In my head I saw that scene with Shikamaru as the anime, and had music in my head and the reaction he would have made... is that sad? Lol. I keep reference things to the anime... I guess because I miss it since I haven't watched it in soooooo long 'cuz fillers stink to me. MUST SEE ANIMATED KAZEKAGE.

[zyraxus.livejournal.com]

Ohgeeze. I'm starting to really like Hidan for the soul reason that he reminds me of another one of my favorite characters of all time - Farfarello. But I'm sure Hidan will have much more character development than Farf ever did. XD Hurhur.

[smea-chan.livejournal.com]

i actually freaked out when the other Akatsuki guy loomed behind Shikamaru. o_O;
