The next one is 699 and 700. 700 will be full color.

700 will probably be an extended chapter, maybe like 25-35 pages long.

Buy some freaking medicine.
As someone who hasn't read a chapter of this in a long-rear end time, it feels so weird to see where the series has wound up after a strong start all those years ago, with neat little story arcs like the Haku/Zabuza one. What a drat shame.

At least the pain will be over soon!

Edit:

This is the sorta stuff that makes me hopeful for Naruto GT. Imagine this level of ridiculousness except not restrained by being filler and therefor not having to be pointless. Imagine Orochimaru just makes loving robots of the coolest ninjas and attacks Konoha for a whole, proper arc.

I don't see the problem with leaving a phrase in the original Japanese and explaining its meaning when the phrase hasn't been used in well over 5 years, probably closer to 10 years. Guess I'm just crazy like that though.

It wasn't used in about 10 years in the Japanese either though, they could have just translated it in English than had a note saying it was the term Sasuke called Naruto when they were on Team 7 which would have done the same thing and would not have had a Japanese term in the middle of an english translation. It's even more egregious than 'Nakama' in One Piece because at least they've got the excuse of tradition (a terrible excuse but an excuse none the less), there was no reason for that to be left un-translated.

Rock Lee's manga has it happen. Sakura mistakes the real Sasuke for someone using a transformation technique and punches him.

At this point, I hope someone other than Naruto and Sasuke ends up in the final chapters. There has been nothing to suggest that the final two chapters won't just be these two fucktards lying on the ground bleeding talking about how good of friends they are.

Don't really read Naruto, but it just dawned on me that that panel (and much of the chapter) is totally an homage to the end of Devilman.

That loving uppercut was badass with still enough power behind it to crater Sasuke into the wall! Also continuing the trend in all manga/anime that every character is just made of pure meat and no bones. :black101:

He got kicked out of a tree like 30 chapters ago, and then he was sent right back inbecause Tsukiyomi or whatever its called.

I'm more interested if Anko is ever gonna be mentioned again, since she's Kishimoto's favourite character and all. (How the hell is she his favourite character?)

IIRC he never said that, just that Sasuke is his favorite to draw. Also that his least favorite to draw was Neji, because he kept getting the hair wrong - which really explains a lot.

And Kakashi confirmed as Hokage in the movie. So that's a thing. I'm actually okay with it not being Naruto since 1. his actual goal was to be respected and 2. he's still a dumb-rear end who likely has trouble spelling his own name.

I have a feeling that the last chapter will be a flash-forward past the movie to Naruto's Hokaguration Day.

IF nothing else this thread has given us the term Hokaguration, and for that reason it is a good thread.

And two posts ago I was treating the Hyuuga plot takeover as a joke and laughing at Hiashi for getting excited because a scarf is flowing a certain way on a movie poster.

Kakashi was also going to be the fifth Hokage if Tsunade declined, and he would have been the temp-Hokage for the summit and war, if Danzo hadn't interfered. Kakashi has been the second choice for Hokage for the entire series.

One of my favorite things in the series was when they were all like 'ah poo poo, we need a hokage' and they're like, barely finished saying the words before the smartest dude in the village busts out 'I nominate Hatake Kakashi'

To be fair, Gaara was made Kazekage at about the same age and he hasn't slept since he was a kid.
