So...nothing much happened but he got out of his emo phase yet again. But it looks like he knows the code.

Oh noes...Naruto emo-ness finally ends (for now). Now we can get on with the story again.

All I can say is that Shikamaru is pure win. Why he is not more prominently in this story is beyond me. He is arguably the best character in this entire series. Arguably....

What can I say, nothing much happens. That's how I perceived the chapter just like you saying that you "liked it". What? It's just Shika helping him out of his emo phase and him implying that he knows how to crack the code. Oooh big deal. Alot more stuff goes on in one chapter in One Piece/Bleach than in Naruto.

Wow, there's a slight chance that thanks to Shikamaru's little pep talk, Naruto may actually mature a bit and stop acting like a little kid all the time. Well maybe not, but I can hope.

I hope whatever Jiraiya put inside that code isn't something really obvious, I want a shocking revelation!

love the bust size part. tho i think it is good that naruto is actually going to figure the code out....or at least hopefully. it would show so much progress on his part rather than him just being the worse intellectually wise.

One Piece, yes. Bleach, no.

Also, you say "nothing much happens" every week, despite things actually happening in prior chapters. It makes me question whether you are actually comprehending what you're reading.

- No Saucegay
- Good Shika pep talk
- Good joke, "Kakashi, it's 106 cm..."

= successful chapter

well my complaint from last week was somewhat addressed. now the only two on my "should've been comforting Naruto" list are Sakura and Hinata (though the plot is quickly moving away from any chance they have of showing some genuine concern for Naruto).

Another rather bland chapter in terms of aesthetics and another chapter where I thought the execution of visuals was poor and rather rushed despite good intentions.

Kishimoto has been quite a let down as of late seeing as how he put so much effort into frame formatting and really contemplating frame content before.

I know nothing happened, to be honest I am surprised Kakashi didn't get the code, it is obviously the pages and words in Jiraya's books.

Shikamru is still my favorite character.
And Naruto showed an ability that Sauske will never have, the ability to move on.

lol. I just noticed this now but when you add all the digits in Jiraiya's code, it adds up to 383, the same chapter in which he wrote that code. what if Kishimoto was just messing with the readers by making them meticulously analyze its meaning? O_O

Omg. I completely loved the chp this time. Shikamaru is my MOST FAVORITE character in Naruto, so this chapter has won my heart completely. I was smiling like a dork all the way through. (Kyaaa~ Shikamaru x3 *fangirls*)

Also, I think the "It's time for us to be the ones who enthrust, not the enthursted" is pure win. ( + "Its troublesome, but I cant say that." <-- Shikamaru <333)

Finally someone who agrees with me (though this is the first time that I comment about Naruto XD). Naruto just lost someone really important to him. It's completely normal feel sad... It would be strange if he didn't care about that... D:
But I'm glad to see he's moving on... and Shikamaru was amazing in this chapter :D

kurenai looked different somehow, maybe its cause ive seem more of her in the anime than in the manga. ( never mind the belly im talking about the face)

well i figured they might quickly do away with the emo since the "enemies" are already on the move. they sent so much time on sasuke, now they gotta spend a whole lot of time explaining everything...or alteast most things. (and maybe the cool ability naruto will get.... -><- )

i keep thinking that those are the pages in the ero-novels he kept writing....?

*phew.

anyways; naruto seems to know the code.
lol at 106 cm.

otherwise, shikamaru is always kickass.
kinda creepy asuma told shika to make his kid his apprentice. juust a smidge ><

I'm kinda getting more interested in what kind of relationship will Kurenai and Shikamaru will have?! Asume saying to him; that he entrusts her and the baby to him. What?! He will be the acting-father?! Hahahaha!

Although, it's kinda okay to be an acting-father to the child; but how about Kurenai? Wahahaha!


I liked the chapter; not just something repeatative like the Sasuke emoness. It's good the pacing is getting normal. Yet, somehow slow; but it's good now.

I really liked Shikamaru in this chapter too, he's really mature and caring.^^ And he has at least one in-manga fangirl.XD But yeah its pretty weird that no one knows about the serious book that Jiraiya wrote. I mean wouldn't it be one of the first things you would think of?

Shikamaru's thoughts were nice, but to have the entire chapter revolve around it, with only one chapter per week coming out...It just makes the pacing too damn slow. He could've had the whole thing within half the pages and still kept the impact. He didn't need to show the girl with the glasses so much, or have Pa explain how Jiraiya gave him the message again, or with so much detail.

The chapters read well when you read several of them at a time, but this is another good example of how Kishimoto really doesn't work well with the one chapter per week format. He just gives us a whole bunch of details that we really don't need.
