Nah, Pain's body was stashed somewhere, hence why Obito went after her. After killing her he went and got back the Rinnegan. (makes me wonder if things ever even decompose within the Narutoverse, considering how long Pain's body has been lying there and Obito still went and took out his eyes and stuck them into himself...eww)

Yeah. The story started out simple, hence all the comical stuff in it like Sakura and Ino's obsession with Sasuke...I think their personalities were all a bit over-the-top because of how the story was supposed to be not that serious. Then it got popular so the mangaka had to crank out more plot, and then story just spiraled downwards after that.

Ugh! Don't make me have to listen to that as well! Just play some classicals. That'll drive him nuts...or, well, more nuts than he already is. Oh oh wait, I know! Play Christian religious music to him!

Dan: that is so evil, but brilliant! -plays christian rock-

I guess it was just Conan's body that fell into the ocean when she died then. xD;; Like I said, some details just merge together after a while because the plot got effed up.

Yeah, it was pretty comical at first with the sexy jutsu and everything. I found Ino and Sakura's obsession with Sasuke pretty funny. Like you said, when the mangaka had to add more plot to it, it just went down hill. It should have stayed comical and not super serious all the time and having plot holes and stupid crap.

Dafuq you guys talkin aboot....

We're torturing Hidan and talking about the parts of Naruto's story that were written badly. :D

@Iku: I don't think you want to know...


@Momo: Haha, I'm surprised I still remember that part actually. I just know that she came close to offing Obito...which is a shame, as she's one of the few more decent female characters in the series.

That's the sad side of Shonen JUMP. And the manga industry in general in Japan. If your series if popular, then the editors would want you to keep on publishing and not end the series so they can milk out as much profit as they can, but the mangaka never intended for the story to go on that long, so the quality just goes downhill after a while and then the series gets cut and made way for newer, more popular series. It's very difficult for a mangaka to end things as he or she wants it unless they're insanely popular or something.

Dan: is he slashing at your stomach yet?
Are we going to see his hand rib through and start swiping at us?!

I know! she was a good female character. She was powerful and pretty. Totally jelly of her oragami skills. xD

That's just sad. :/ See, they loose good writers and artists like that.

He doesn't have anything to slash with, no worries. My stomach acids are goin' strong~

I wouldn't say she's pretty...at least not to me. XD She's not bad-looking but not my type. Her origami skills are awesome though, yes. <33

Well...I don't know about the mangakas...they're kind of making money too. But they get tired from not being able to end their series when they want to, I suppose.

She's not the prettiest character in the story no, but she is pretty in my opinion. And I like how she's not just full of personality but has no bite and becomes a punching bag.

They don't get as much money as the company though, do they? Which sucks because they're doing all the work. I bet there are a few mangas that were real popular and they said "Balls to it!" and ended it the way they wanted to. I hope so anyway.

Yeah, definitely like the not-a-punching-bag part.

Well, they don't, but if they're popular they still make a ton of money, such as from animes, figurines, side products and etc. I don't know if there are any mangakas that are like that but there must be some, since they're not drawing machines after all. You can read Bakuman if you like, it has a lot of stuff on the Japanese manga industry, it's quite interesting.

Oh gosh. Definitely staying out of that shiz.

Bakuman is cool though! o 3o

*steers topic towards manga in general*

I should probably read it. I don't really know much about the manga industry. Usually I just read the manga xD

I remember iku mentioned it before and I thought he was talking about BakuGON. xDDD

Same, so I was really interested when I saw that series. o wo <33

Anyway, I'm off to bed now, see you later~ :)

Oh no, it's cool. You guys can talk about wutevs~ You're my peeps!

I'm sad though I haven't been able to read any Bakuman lately.

And lmao, bakugon!

I think I read the description of the manga in the past and it didn't seem interesting. But I've learned that you can't trust the description because things either sound awesome, not so good, or weird and be totally different.

see ya dan!

iku: yeah I loved that show for a while xD

That's true. I'm a sucker for nice art though.

Night Nim! \o
