Sasuke's Confession

Welcome to my blog, and another Thursday update!

*~*Ch327 Spoilers*~*

Chapter 327 was brilliant, thus it certainly seemed too short. I loved every page of this chapter, and I just wished to God it wouldn't end. I am certainly dying for next week's chapter; obviously I'm becoming impatient.

Eww...

The back-up team's rescue of the supporting Chuunins and Shikamaru was pretty cool. Actually, when I first saw those crows flying out of nowhere, I thought they were all in an Itachi genjutsu!

I'm equal parts pleased and irked that Asuma is still alive. There's still more we need to know about him and Kurenai, so it's good that he has a greater chance of survival now. But it is also a bit disappointing that there wasn't a dramatic character death. A death is just the thing we need to start taking Akatsuki and the other villains more seriously. It would add the right tone to the story.

It was brilliant that we got to see the Akatsuki Leader again.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to talk about AL's face! Seeing the bottom half of his face sure has caused a lot of shock. After all, from the picture it appears that he has some kind of beard and nose piercings ... or maybe they're holes. Whatever. Either way, he looks pretty darn funky. So now we know he has ginger hair, black dots on either side of his nose, and maybe a beard. He's truly a freak worthy of Akatsuki!

I'm hoping for another chapter with a full Biju extraction. I so do love to see all my favourites villains together. Heh heh!

Next week we'll probably just get another boring 'in-the-hospital' chapter, with loads of worried faces taking up every damn page. I could be wrong though, something really cool or amazing could happen. Who knows?

Want to hear something funny and totally cute? Sasuke's Revamped Confession by naturalgrace uses the music from Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, and the love confession by Sugiyama Noriaki, Sasuke's voice actor.
You can download the original confession here - :::OH! NARUTO NIPPON::: - scroll down to #13. It also has the translation there. By the way, before any newbs get the wrong idea, Sasuke never says this in the anime, his VA was asked to do it on a Japanese radio show.

To be honest, I've been neglecting SasuNaru recently. I'm in full ItaNaru-fangirl mode. However, I have found a very awesome SasuNaru fanfic - Sticks and Stones by lunabasketcase. Yes, it's an AU, highschool fic, but give it a chance! Trust me, you won't regret it. This story really draws you into the world the writer has created for the characters, and it has some truly touching moments. It's also totally badass! After all, you don't see cage-fighting in many fanfics.

I'll be back again next week. Here's hoping for some serious Akatsuki awesomeness in the next chapter. See ya!

By the way, there are major spoilers in the comments on this post.
