Naruto 132-134
132:
1) Naruto chibi flashback angst makes me cry. Always.
2) OMFG.
3) Kakashi, you suck! So much!
133:
1) OMFG! OMFG!
2) Did...uh...did he break his neck?
2) Who knew Kyuubi was a flying fox?
3) Stage Two does not look good on Sasuke. It looks butt-ugly.
134:
1) HOLY SHIT.
2) ::cries like a baby::
3) Okay, I hate Sasuke somewhat less. Not trying to kill Naruto is a good step. He still needs to get off the revenge kick, and he's still an ass for what he's doing, but I appreciate that he's chosen not to murder his best friend in the process.
4) Kakashi, you still suck. But at least you have the grace to realize it.
Next up--everybody angsts like whoa. I'd like to state for the record that if Sakura spends more time wangsting about Sasuke than about Naruto getting the shit beaten out of him--not to mention everybody else getting injured/killed--I will strangle her with her own forehead protector.
Does anybody know where I'd need to start in the manga to pick up after 134?

no subject
(the manga & anime versions of Sasuke's descent are really quite different. In the manga, Sasuke spends about a month in a COMA and then wakes up and goes off on a rampage to Orochimaru, (after the rooftop skirmish with Naruto). So he's just -reacting- out of bitterness and jealousy and having things slammed on him left and right.
In the anime? Sasuke's not reacting so much as ACTING, from having things build up left and right and just multiple things driving home that he's Not As Badass as he thought. There's festering resentment and it's less of him just storming off half-cocked as it is him CHOOSING to do this. He's going in eyes wide open, IMO, in the anime. I, personally, filler notwithstanding, like the way the anime's handling this. (but I like a lot of the manga. The Tsunade episodes right before Naruto pwns Kabuto remain some of the most heartwrenching stuff I've seen in it (I can't feel bad for Sasuke. I really can't. He's had these people trying to be his friend(whether worshipful like Ino/Sakura or what have you, like Naruto) and he craps over all of that. His closed-mindedness has crapped all over that. And he got almost everyone killed. So, no, I really can't feel sorry for him and I honestly want Naruto to administer a beatdown that makes what happened to Gaara look like NOTHING.
