Just got Black Lagoon in here.

Well in one of the OPs, there's telephone lines. When team 7 was going on there first missions looking for a cat, they were using wireless communication.

Hmm. Okay, so they have telephones but then use carrier pigeons?
Wait, maybe because they are ninjas, they are afraid telephone lines would get tapped?
But the bird takes like days to send the message, and the bird could die along the way?
I don't understand.

 

[daveo42]

Oh the suspense!

 

[Amikami]

You know shit is up when purple smoke is billowing out your neck. Sorry, it's definitely infected.

 

[MikeMyers]

She's pretty versatile....inosluggif

(I wonder when we'll get to this episode of Shippuden?)

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sora in Digimon too.

And Nel

 

[lazybones18]

If only she stabbed herself in the heart

 

[MikeMyers]

If only she stabbed herself in the heart

It'd still beat for Sasuke.

 

[daveo42]

Everyone legit shook at Sakura trying to rock a pixie cut.

Tom would make for a pretty tops hokage. What with his massive space ship and all.

 

[RagnarokX]

No, Akane, your hair!

"My hair got cut into an even cuter do!"

 

[Man God]

If only she stabbed herself in the heart

She's secretly

Spoiler

Hidan

this entire time.

 

[MikeMyers]

I wonder how this battle would be if Neji and TenTen actually had a chance to join it.

 

[Man God]

I wonder how this battle would be if Neji and TenTen actually had a chance to join it.

Or if Team Eight jumped them during this part instead of waiting.

An early glimpse into TenTen being useless? Not sure if want

Keep in mind that cars, trucks, and even large cruise ships exist in this world also and even more interesting ways to communicate are introduced later in shippuden. They appear to use VHS but they do have VCRs at least. Yet they use carrier pigeons and travel by foot in situations they can at least use a jeep or something. Anything. It's not like they actually try and hide traveling in the open in loud colors and all. Naruto's not that consistent when it comes to tech.

Or if Team Eight jumped them during this part instead of waiting.

Or if Sakura was an actual ninja.

 

[daveo42]

Or if Sakura was an actual ninja.

Too hard to imagine.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Or if Team Eight jumped them during this part instead of waiting.

But then Sakura wouldn't get her chance to grow as a person!!!!11!1!1

 

[MikeMyers]

An early glimpse into TenTen being useless? Not sure if want

It was already revealed she was useless when the author didn't even bother to give her a surname.

 

[Man God]

Or if Sakura was an actual ninja.

These three are pretty damn good though.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

OMG not her hair

 

[789shadow]

But then Sakura wouldn't get her chance to grow as a person!!!!11!1!1

Don't you mean stay exactly the same throughout literally the entire fucking series?

 

[lazybones18]

Power Couple doing all the work

 

[RagnarokX]

A girl's hair is her life!

 

[Amikami]

Personally always thought she looked better with the shorter hair.

 

[Man God]

Don't you mean stay exactly the same throughout literally the entire fucking series?

The most character growth she has is during non canon hell.

 

[MikeMyers]

A girl's hair is her life!

I was thinking about that too.

As well as Felicity.

 

[Schadenfreude]

But you still suck, yo.

Don't you mean stay exactly the same throughout literally the entire fucking series?

yes, ted. That was the joke.

So, bad writing. Got it. Just go with whatever is the most "ninja" looking even when it's counter productive.

"I know that hand-sign that I can't see"

 

[lazybones18]

Sakura to be Yukio'd

 

[Man God]

Krillin jumps into battle!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

It's always the substitution jutsu

 

[daveo42]

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[789shadow]

That was actually going well until, you know, Sakura doesn't know any jutsu at all, so she has to resort to biting.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Fucking stupid.

 

[lazybones18]

Not this flashback shit again

 

[Man God]

If she had straight killed him here the show would have turned out so much better.

 

[MikeMyers]

Not this flashback shit again

#Emotional

 

[daveo42]

Shut up Ino...your forehead is even more massive than hers.

 

[789shadow]

DO SOMETHING

 

[lazybones18]

FFS, Sound Ninja. Go Chaka on her ass!

 

[Schadenfreude]

I like that the other two arent doing shit.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

#Emotional

Probably the least dramatic childhood flashbacks on this show.

 

[daveo42]

"Pretty good face..."

Not any more.

 

[Seda]

sigh

 

[Man God]

I like that the other two arent doing shit.

Orochimaru helps those who help themselves!

 

[lazybones18]

So much angst

 

[ckohler]

I like to imagine that every time they cut to that guy beating Sakura, he's beating her because of the flashbacks.

 

[789shadow]

I like that the other two arent doing shit.

I like how Mr. "Jutsu of the Future" is reduced to just punching her head instead of using his awesome ultrasonic wave bullshit
