A River's water of thoughts

I just read Naruto 449...it's...my god.

I can't mention one single thing about this chapter without spoiling the past 40+ chapters we have gone through....

Shit...let me just say that Kishimoto pulled a dues ex machina of a magnitude only seen in DBZ.

The fandom is half-happy and half-enranged.

I'm stuck in between. I sort of saw it coming...but I didn't expect it to this big.

This has me happy:
Quote from brid
In other news, this manga had gotten awfully heterosexual what with Hinata's confession and all, but it looks like Sasuke's about to arrive on scene just in time to bring the gay back. Oh goody.
Quote from Spanky151
All we need is for Kabuto to come back all acting like Orochimaru and the little hint of hetro that was growing will be stomped out for good.
Quote from xtr3m3dude
Best post ever.
Time to bring the gay back!
*turns on backstreet boys are back soundtrack*

I disagree. We need It's raining men. ;d GAY MEN ahoy!


Bring on the GAY!!! I need some SasuNaru Kishimoto-sensei!

This is a giant spoiler for Naruto 431

( SPOILER )

*seethes in fury*

It's a Naruto rec. Yes I am still reading the manga and the fanfictions. Though less of the fanfictions since I've become obsessed with Harry Potter for the last four years? ....god has it really been that long. I found the Snape_Potter lj group in 2006.... And before that I was reading on ff.net since 2003 on HP (before the movies came out I never heard of the series)... My god...I can't believe it's been that long...


Anyways, this is an angst driven love story like you've never seen. The chapters are LOOONG which is good since it takes so long for an update. But the writing is top notch. The writer did a previous SasuNaru story that ended up being 84 or 88 chapters long, The Uchiha Couple and spanned decades in the Naruto verse. Did I mention it was mpreg too?

This one is decidedly more different. It follows the current Naruto plot line up to a point. So pein, Madara, Hebi, etc are in here.

It wrenches my heart and it is only because I am a masochist that I keep reading it. I know it's going to be a sad ending. Like "Are You Prepared?" (I still need to read that but since I know the ending I'm putting it off) sad ending...but different...more like Romeo and Juliet but with a dash of War of the Roses...a lot of War of the Roses with a fated ending and them loving each other and it looking like there is no way to stop... It's a typical Japanese love story with the characters being bound to duty and their own convictions unable to have their love for each other stand in the way...did I mention they are on opposite sides of a war?

Just read it.

When loyalty and service pull them towards opposite directions, which bonds will Sasuke and Naruto sever? SasuNaru


Oh yeah did I mention that the writer is a GUY! And he writers Yaoi! Really really good yaoi.

I went digging for Junjou Romantica and other downloads I've been meaning to get. I'm debating on trying for the anime but my flash drive is only a 4 giger. hmm...it might fit.

Has anyone seen the newest chapter of Naruto, 429?

HOLY SHIT!!! I can't believe what I just read...

Is this how we get Sasuke to go good again? Or at least be Naruto's fuckbuddy? *has decided to screw polite censorship since she was pissed that online journalists actually censored the bleeps in Gov. Blago's indictement*

Speaking of Kishimoto-sensei, The LA Times scored an interview with him.
