1) It seems that to some people, I'm annoying...
Interesting...yet, in their justifications, they don't mention any real reasons. I'm still misunderstood greatly as it seems...

2) The latest spoilers indicate that an upcoming fight with Pein is not going to tip the power scale in Jiraiya's favor (which so happens to be his old student...). What troubles me, is the hastened course it's following right now. Has Kishimoto gotten bored of his manga already?

Before anyone jumps on my throat, we know that it should end in 500 chapters, or so the rumors say, but, seriously...
Naruto's parents? Akatsuki flykillers, the chuunin of Konoha? It IS kinda going faster than we'd want...

Other than that, I sure hope that Team 8 does not get the Team Gai treatment, and that Team Gai alongside with every other team in Konoha gets some quality time in an ANBU Roots arc, followed by a Hyuuga arc.

That should make Kishi work for his money alright :amuse
