Wow, that was another big episode. All right, so the Kimimaro and Gaara fight actually wraps up, and they didn’t spend two more episodes on it, so I’m happy about that. And yeah, there were more Kimimaro flashbacks. Kimimaro was actually around during all of Orochimaru’s little doings, like killing the Hokage of the sand (I forget the term) And yeah, it shows a lot of stuff, and it’s sad. And as the fight goes on, Gaara uses all his chakra, and never even gets hit. He has this ultimate defense thing, and then he buries him under the sand, in the end he’s pretty much just stronger than Kimimaro at full power. I mean, he wasn’t really pushed in that sense he was badly damaged and had to go through shit, but then again he wasn’t sick during the fight either. But Kimimaro after being buried manages to make a filed of bones just burst from the ground. But Lee and Gaara are saved as they levitate on a pool of sand… until Kimimaro pops out of the ground and KILLS… okay gets really close to killing Gaara. And yeah, he dies, like in position to kill him. And Orochimaru doesn’t even care, and yeah he’s a pawn. It’s like one of those more tragic stories, and the message was sometimes people would rather side with an evil person than feel loneliness. And that’s how people like Hitler come into power… sort of. Anyway, at the end, Naruto and Sasuke are on these giant statues, staring the other down… and yeah, remember this is where I left off in the manga? I officially don’t know what happens from here on out folks! Yes, I’ll be going in blind, and hopefully it gets super bad ass. I’m expecting a good fight, and don’t know how long this will go. I’m still really curious, and really intrigued, but this should be good. This is a pretty good nine, and a wonderful episode. AHHH! So excited!
