Yeah, it was hilarious. I was all, "Oh, Orochimaru is making a comeback! ....Huh?" when he went all BUAHAHAHA and then Itachi just snuffs him out barely giving him a glance. >___>;

In a way I had been hoping for a more dramatic death for Orochimaru than that, but oh well...at least it was funny. xD;

Well I don't know if I would be able to cope with another dramatic death from him. Because it was quite dramatic when he kind-of got killed by Sasuke, wasn't it? Then he just turned out to be able to come back, so I'm glad that they didn't make a big deal of it the second time.

I dig Suigetsu. I like his sharky teeth.

@Roze: Oh...well, yeah. I guess. I suppose I just like dramatic deaths for the more major characters <_< >_>;

@Agnes: lol Yeah, those sharky teeth are adorable xD I love sharp teeth. Makes eating steaks so much more easier...>.>

Well I would say that Orochimaru was a semi-major character. He was quite a good bad guy, all evil and gross and creepy. But I suppose he became less of a threat when compared with the Akatsuki.

Being vegetarian, I wouldn't know anything about eating steaks >_<

I think the only real threat is Madara, I'm not sure what the other members wanted in the group, but Madara had a goal and wanted to destroy the world (why does it seem all the bad guys' ultimate goal is always to destroy the world?) and rule it or something.

lol Umm...well, they're good for tearing apart hard to chew stuff...like maybe, celery? xD

I miss Orochimaru. He was one of my favorites.

Yeah, I kinda liked him too. The tongue sometimes creeped me out though...and his final moments were rather out of character, IMO. He looked so normal when he was a kid...Danzo too, when he was still young. Time can be such a killer. :XD;;;

I thought the kid Orochimaru looked kinda weird. Not nearly as weird as his adult self, but still a bit weird. I don't really miss him because I never really liked him. I miss Deidara, Sasori, Hidan and Kakuzu though...

I liked Deidara and Hidan also. Almost forgot about those two.

I hated Deidara at first because he was nasty to Gaara (my favourite character) but now I really love him. I curse you, Uchiha Sasuke!

lol I didn't like Deidara at first either...something about him rubbed me the wrong way. But then as the story progressed, he became one of my favorites. I was quite sorry to see him die...though he did die in quite the fashion. Shame Sasuke got away with it. That just reminded me another reason why I hate Sasuke...I love snakes and he used that large snake (forgot his name again in English...) as a shield! Damn, cowardly little...:illgetu:

Yeah, poor Manda!

take a look at this: Link

I guess I just hated Deidara at the start because he kidnapped Gaara. But then when I realised I liked Deidara I passed the blame onto Chiyo for putting Shukaku in Gaara in the first place. After all, it was Shukaku the Akatsuki was after, not Gaara himself. I hate Chiyo. I also blame her for Sasori's miserable childhood.

I'm a ridiculous Sakura fan. ^^ I know she was pretty well a useless fangirl at the start of the series, but she turns out SUPER amazing later! But it's more than that- Sakura is almost a "real world" type- sure she's a ninja and she's got great chakra control, but she's a KID- she hasn't contemplated death, combat and losing her friends. She comes pretty well unglued a couple of times on their first mission, but for a 12-year-old kid that just SERIOUSLY got unexpectedly in over her head in a deadly situation? I'd say she did a fine job. T_T And then she becomes someone amazing- wildly catastrophic, and yet at the same time she's the calm in the eye of the storm. Like many fanfics portray her, she is a symbolism of the opposites that all of us contain. I really admire her, in a lot of ways. ^^

lol, Awesome comic :P

Well, looking from the Akatsuki's perspective, I wouldn't dislike them for hunting after someone that I also have a liking towards. After all, they don't know the person, and they have no feelings for them that would hold them back from doing what they do. So despite not liking some of the things they do, I wouldn't hold any bad feelings for what they did. I'm glad that Gaara didn't really die in the end though, he's pretty neat. I kind of wonder if he could still use sand like he used to be able now that his Tail beast is gone.

A friend of mine told me that he still can control sand. I'm still waiting for him to reappear in the anime. It's been over 100 episodes now!
I don't like Itachi for some reason. He's my least favourite Akatsuki member. I don't even know why, I just hate him.

lol Has it been that long? :XD

Itachi was my favorite, though I haven't been paying attention to Naruto in a while so now that I think about it, it seems that I'm now prefering Deidara over Itachi.

I'm kind of neutral with Kisame, Konan and Pein (mostly because I don't know much about Pein and Konan yet). I think Zetsu is pretty cool, but I haven't seen him fight yet. I hate Madara - I really miss Tobi. Tobi was a lot more fun.

I dont think he suppose to do alot of fighting, hes a spy so honestly all he does it help others from afar, and well spy.

I love Zetsu's ability. I'm still wondering why he's half white half black...like, are they two separate people fused together with ninja techniques or are they one but somehow have split personalities going on and could separate the two different personalities as a single entity through ninja techniques? He's pretty interesting, I'd like to see more about him in later chapters.

So...(spoilers from the latest chapter) Karin wasn' dead after all. Kinda caught me off guard as I had thought Sasuke had killed her already from the earlier pierce. And WTF WAS THAT AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER? SAKURA HAVE YOU GONE INSANE???? /rant

Well a lot of the Akatsuki people are weird. Like Kisame and Kakuzu as well as Zetsu.
The weird thing is I prefer Zetsu's white side to his black side ^^

I haven't paid that much attention to the different sides when they were speaking so I couldn't tell which side I liked more XD;;
I'd definitely want to see him in battle someday though. I'd love to see what sort of techniques he has. I hope he doesn't die...though it's probably very likely, from what has happened to the rest of the Akatsuki >_>;

They killed Kisame too fast, they should've made his death into a full out long battle to stretch the drama. Instead he just died two panels. Poor guy, he was my favorite bad guy. As for favorite character, it'd be Haku because she's sach a 'tragic' and pretty character. I still harbour the belief that Haku's a she.

Yeah, I thought Kisame's death was pretty blegh. Betrayed by his own sword...>____>;

I was kinda surprised when Haku was revealed to be a he. Didn't have trouble believing it though after that, since I've seen way too many pretty/feminine guys xD
