Naruto: chapter 386

[antpower]

I love how all through this chapter Sasuke is basically like "...", which I loosely translate to being "OMG, my brother is a crackhead".

ITACHI'S CRAZYFACE WINZ AT EVERYTHING!!! I want a whole new LJ layout of crazy!Itachi. I have made it my desktop background, which makes me SUPER HAPPY!

Right, so EVERYTHING IS SUDDENLY MAKING SENSE! Itachi + motives + CRAZYFACE = MY HEAD IS EXPLODING!!!

Dude, Uchiha's are more screwed up than my family.

Sasuke is looking particularly fine in this chapter. I like it when he takes off his big coaty thing. SASUKE, YOU LOOK MUCH LESS GAY IN BLACK THAN YOU DO IN WHITE, REMEMBER THIS FOR THE FUTURE, HEY?

So, it seems pretty obvious what will happen now, yeah? He'll kill Itachi and get his eyes and then be super-awesome and indestructable. Though, I am kind of hoping he doesn't kill Itachi, because he's full of the LOLZ.

Okay, that's all I've got for now.


Oh, and HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY, EVERYBODY!

I have a bunch of LJ comments to reply to, but first I need to go get a coffee and then I will get right to it!

I LOVE ITACHI'S CRAZY FACE! When I first saw the spoilers I thought it was fake, hoped it was fake but it has totally grown on me. Every time I look at it I can hear him in my head yelling "PARTY@ MY HOUSE! 8D" Can't stop laughing at it, will never be able to take him seriously again.

And I kinda liked Sasuke's coaty thing, but I think that's because it covered up his big gay bow. Sasuke has always looked gay to me though, ever since his huge collar and shorts.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

OMG YOUR ICON! I WANT IT!

I know, at first I was like OMG ITACHI CAN'T BE MAKING THAT FACE! Have you read the post over at capslock_naruto? They're hilarious!

I think I just like Sasuke's shoulders. The bow is still awful though.

[valkyrienova.livejournal.com]

Go ahead, take it if you want, it only took a me a minute to color. I laughed the whole time, I'm glad someone else thinks it's funny.

THANK YOU FOR LINKING ME TO THAT! I am laughing so hard at some of those my stomach is hurting. I completely forgot to join capslock naruto and bleach! Also I will officially never be able to look at Itachi the same way again.

And I like Sasuke's shoulders too but I have more of a thing for Naruto's ankles for some reason.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

OMG, THANK YOU! YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE PERSON RIGHT NOW!! I will credit you and all that. <333

I know, right! Itachi, it was like he was such a badass and all that, it was like ominous music played whenever he was mentioned, but now IT'S LIKE CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYS OMG!

Oooh, Naruto's ankles! I've never noticed before, but I will keep an eye out now that you mention it!

[valkyrienova.livejournal.com]

Aww, you're welcome! I feel so special <333

And NOW I'M GOING TO HEAR THE CARNIVAL MUSIC! Before I just kept thinking of the music they play (http://wtfgai.ytmnd.com/) when something stupid happens on the show, but now all I can hear is that one carnival/circus song D: One of my friends loved to torture me by whistling it all the time.

Also I definitely have a thing for Naruto's ankles/calves. Admitting that makes me feel like a weird pervert.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL, have you ever noticed how sometimes they play that stupid music when nothing funny is happening, and you're like WTF?

There's nothing pervy about liking ankles/calves. I have a total thing for shoulders/collarbones/hipbones.

Party @ my house, ROFL!!!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

THE CRAZYFACE IS AWESOME. And Sasuke's all, "WTF who are you and what did you do to my brother??"

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO KINDA LIKED SASUKE'S SHIPPUDEN OUTFIT? Maybe because it'd be really easy to get him out of it, heh heh.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

THE CRAZYFACE OWNS MY SOUL!

Sasuke's reaction is just classic. I freaking love this chapter.

I didn't love the white outfit, but in the black it is awesome. It SHOWS HIS SHOULDERS, so it gets a big two thumbs up from me!!!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

I THINK THAT ONE IMAGE ALONE HAS SPAWNED AN UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF CRACK.

Yeah, this chapter's really awesome. I was a little "um, okayyy" at the previous one but this is cool, I wasn't expecting things to turn out this way at all!

HEEHEE. Sasuke should just go around without a shirt 24/7. That gets my seal of approval for sure! :D

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! TODAY IS LIKE 'THE DAY ITACHI'S CRAZY FACE BROKE THE INTERNETS!!'

Yeah, I love how we got explainy things in this chapter but they weren't lame at all, they were awesome.

I AGREE, IT SHOULD BE LIKE NINJA LAW OR SOMETHING!!

I am exceptionally capslocky today, it would seem!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this day should totally go down in history or something. Twenty years from now, on January 25th children worldwide will be celebrating "Crazy Itachi Day"! I KID YOU NOT.

I like that it was so unexpected, as far as I know none of the theories people came up with had anything like this. And Madara's brother looks exceptionally like Sasuke! Good looks obviously run in this family. They probably get passed down with the batshit crazy gene.

THAT'S OKAY, CAPSLOCK WINS EVERYTHING! *hands you a cupcake*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

YES, AND THERE WILL BE BANNERS OF CRAZY ITACHI LINING THE STREETS! And we'll be able to tell the young whippersnappers all about the time we first saw crazy Itachi.

Yeah, of all the theories I've read, nobody has come up with this one, which is great. Though I'm a bit sad it totally wrecks the Tobito theory. How much did the brother look like Sasuke. Woe for the fate of doomed younger brothers! I think there's something in the Sharingan that makes people crazy. Because Sasuke was more-or-less sane before he activated it. Kakashi too.

YAY, CUPCAKE! THANK YOU!!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

YEAH! And you could buy Crazy Itachi™ memorabilia from streetside stalls, it would be so awesome. OH GOSH HAHA I'D FEEL SO OLD, reminiscing about life pre-Crazy Itachi, like "WHEN I WAS YOUNG" and "BACK IN THOSE DAYS..." XDD

(I can also imagine the kids being all, "omg you were ALIVE when Crazy Itachi was first revealed??? *__*")

Yes, damnit, there goes Tobitodara and our GAIDEN FLASHBACKS! Woe. D: I'm really really excited to see how this shapes up, though, and aww younger brothers always seem to get a crappy deal. Maybe I'll be nicer to mine now! :D

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

OMG, I TOTALLY WANT CRAZY ITACHI MEMORABILIA! Like his crazy face on a t-shirt! And like, light-up faces ON A STICK!

I am determined we'll still get our Gaiden flashbacks somehow. And we have to find out what happened to Rin. And why Tobidara only has one eye. I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED THAT IT'S SILLY!

Sasuke will be the younger brother that BREAKS THE MOULD! Maybe he will keep Itachi alive to be his bitch!!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

YES, ME TOO. Kishi could totally get rich(er) marketing Crazy Itachi merchandise now. WHAT I REALLY WANT IS ONE OF THOSE BOBBING HEAD THINGS. That you put on your car dashboard IT WOULD BE FULL OF WIN! Though there'd probably be a rise in traffic accidents, what with random people going into hysterics at the sight of Itachi's crazyface.

YES WE MUST. Yeah, the eye thing is precisely what made me think he was Obito! asdfjkl;I hope I can get Internet access in the UK, or I'll die from LJ withdrawals!

OH THAT WOULD BE TOO GREAT. IF THAT HAPPENS I'LL SQUEEE SO LOUD YOU CAN HEAR ME IN AUSTRALIA. :D

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

OMG CRAZYHEAD ITACHI BOBBLEHEAD! THAT WOULD BE THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!

I hope you can get internet access in the UK as well, or I will miss you way too much!!!

I think it will happen, because if Itachi dies, then so do the LOLZ!

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

LOL I'D TOTALLY BUY ONE. Crazyhead Itachi's out to take over the world!!

YES I'LL MISS YOU TOO!!! I'll be really sad without my daily dose of crack. ;)

...after this, Itachi definitely cannot expect anybody to take him seriously EVER AGAIN. Though my impression of him as sinister and scary was already wiped out when I watched Fun With Akatsuki. :D

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

I know! How long are you gone for? I will totally spam you while you're away so you can stock up on crack when you get home!

Seriously, Itachi has nearly surpasses Orochimaru as Most Hilarious Villain.

[starfishdance.livejournal.com]

I should be back on Saturday afternoon! My f-list is totally going to die, but I can't quite bear to leave any of my communities. :D AND OKAY THAT SOUNDS AWESOME ♥

YES! Naruto has the best villains ever! Though they kind of fail at striking terror in our hearts, but well. XDD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's not *too* bad, I was thinking you were going for MONTHS or something!

I would much rather have LOLZ in my heart than terror anyway!!!

[dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com]

Crazy Itachi just makes me @_@. XPXPXP

Oh, oh, you know that panel where Sasuke's removing the bandages wrapped around his forehead? I have to admit that was my favorite panel in the chapter. :D Wish he'd get rid of the bow, though. XP

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Itachi's crazyface makes the whole world sing!!!

Yes, the bandage-removing panel was awesome. Sasuke was really working it in this chapter. The bow is totally the weak point in the outfit. I think Sasuke needs a stylist.

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

I basically see it coming down to a pretty-crazy-but-not-as-crazy-as-crazyface Sasuke getting Itachi's eyes and then trying to control the 9 tails; Naruto. For what...I don't know, but it makes for awesome master/slave slash fic xD I'd like Sasuke to be all "lol ur crazy brudda" and kill him without plucking his eyes but it all has to come down to a SasuNaru fight to the end. Probably.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd love to see Sasuke make the crazyface!!! That would be so awesome.

I dunno, I think there will be a Sasuke vs Naruto showdown, but I don't think it will end that way, I think they'll team up to fight evil. Like Batman and Robin.

But master/slave fic FTW! I think Sasuke might try to control Naruto and maybe succeed for a while, but in the end either Naruto's willpower will be too strong, or Sasuke will be like 'meh, it's no fun if he just does what I say'. But no matter what happens, I'm sure the fic about it will be awesome!

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

That would be awesome, but who knows where Sasuke's head is nowadays. I don't see it ending with them being all happy again...that would be too Disney, maybe he dies? idk.

Naruto will definitely overcome anything, he's proven that he has the ability, but yes the fic...and there will be lots...will be awesome to read xD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yeah, post-time-skip Sasuke is a little harder to understand, I think. I like to just assume he's the same only a little more reserved, more determined. I don't think he's the sort of guy who can ever really be happy, but I don't want him to die either! I don't think he will die, because Naruto's storyline is linked to Sasuke's, and it seems like, in Naruto's mind at least, his ability to become Hokage and all that is dependent on whether he can save Sasuke from darkness.

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

...his ability to become Hokage and all that is dependent on whether he can save Sasuke from darkness.

That's a very strong point you made, I never thought about that before. I wonder how close we are to the 'end' of the series. I'm anxious to see what happens but I know when its finally over I'll be sad and miss it.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same, it will be so sad when it ends! Though I think we've got a while yet, because Kishi said something about it being the year of Sasuke and that Naruto will have to wait until next year, didn't he? So that means we've got at least over a year left!

[talk-play-love.livejournal.com]

And Kakashi still needs to become rokudaime! *loves her some Kaka sensei*

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes exactly!

[saqqara13.livejournal.com]

OK I haven't looked at capslock_naruto yet, I shall, but in the meantime, check this guy's sig...

OMG THAT WINS EVERYTHING!!

[saqqara13.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHA, I know right?!

[left-tool.livejournal.com]

Crazy insane Itachi pwns, nuff said. XD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

[keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. I can't find the right words to describe this chapter. But OMG Sasuke... *___* -lots of love- NO WONDER HE IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER MUAHAHAHAHA. XDDDDDD [/end of spaz]

I can't wait to see mooooore of Sasuke. His clothes are like, the best. XD Naruto needs a pair of pants that he fits in.

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

I know, Sasuke was awesome in this chapter!

Naruto needs to start wearing less clothes all together!

[keikeiaznqueen.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaa, yeah. We've seen him wearing less, and we all agree that he looks great without his jumpsuit. XD Come'on, a mild improvement like perhaps taking time skip Kiba as his role model won't hurt. XD

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Shippudden!Kiba is smex! And surely Naruto gets hot wearing all those heavy clothes around all the time!

[darlingfox.livejournal.com]

I love how Kishimoto effectively ruined a perfectly serious moment and a threatening villain with Itachi's CRAZY FACE. XD

Before this, Itachi seemed to be calm and genuinely dangerous. Now, every time I see him I'm going to think "and inside his mind, he's going AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA and wearing pants in his head". Probabaly not something Kishimoto intended...

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

I know! I was all like OMGOMG! But then came the crazy face and my brain just EXPLODED!

Pants on his head, ROFL.

I don't know, Kishimoto seems to have one heck of a strange sense of humour!
