Naruto 132-134

[cerusee]

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?

That scene was incredible. And bizarre. Because Sasuke was so shocked and scared that he forgot to be an asshole, and he was just Sasuke trying really hard to do something that happened to be stupid and wrong. When he broke Naruto's neck, I think he didn't know how to feel--and then Naruto got up again.

If it wasn't in the manga, I think it was a good addition--it's a scene I'll never forget. (And they left it so ambiguous that if it turns out that Kyuubi's not supposed to be able to heal a broken neck, they're not held to it.)

Pffff... as long as Naruto isn't hit through the heart (or maybe through the stomach since that's where the seal is), Kyuubi can always do something. That's why Kabuto was able to nearly kill Naruto. Though, I think if anyone KNOWS who Naruto is, they wouldn't aim for the stomach. Mucking around with a seal would be too dangerous, especially since Kyuubi is uncontrollable if he gets free.
