Well I've kind of given up on Naruto personally. Ever since Sasuke ran away. I mean how does a guy beat a demon. Please someone explain to me about this.

I have a complete opposite opinion to yours lol. I find it bloody awful everytime they switch over to the Sasuke storyline, i get tired of the "ooooh i had a bad childhood so i shall listen to anybody who says I should attack so and so to relieve this frustration I feel"

As for Naruto, im really getting into the storyline at the moment, even though its just Naruto overdoing it and pwning the hell out of every dead guy that walks, I especially liked how he took out the raikage, it was classic naruto style, loved it.

As for defeating the 9 tails, which I assume ur talking about anyways, he did have quite a bit of help at subduing the beast, and quite frankly because hes using clones while in that form like he was told he shouldnt i bet we shall be seeing the after effects very shortly of him being overtaken again

Sigh...

Not really following the manga. But I have to say, the more sharingan advances, the lamer it becomes, they've put too many stuff into it, and it looks like crap. They need to simplify the symbols inside his eyes, it's like they think: "The more crap we draw into his eyeballs, it means he's more powerful!".
