xO
What's going on pplz? I wonder if the mangaka's trying to kill off everybody.
Com'on, Reply!

Kakashi isn't confirmed dead yet anyways.
But you are right. On one hand, the Naruto world is in war and it is fitting that characters die. But on the other hand, Kishi controls who lives and dies so I hope he doesn't kill anymore main characters, at least for a little while.

Thanks. The Post might have gotten Deleted or Something. -phew-

The series has to end eventually, and the easiest way to bring it to a close is to start to kill all the old characters until the only person left to be Hokage is Naruto.

In short: Kishi is a genius..

i love the dying thing ,it gives suspense and also IT IS A WAR and it would be ridiculous if no one dies after all

[Vergil the Fallen]

Dying means breaking dreadful cliche's. Thats exactly something that a good anime needs. And the death of Asuma, Jiraiya and Choji's dad is what makes this manga better than Bleach. Although i hope to God Kakashi lives.
From the spoilers i read of the next chapter, looks like Tsunade is next in the line as Deva Pein goes to her.

This continuous cycle of Pein dismantling Konaha and it citizens has to eventually end. At some point: 1) Someone strong enough, or perhaps a strong coalition of shinobi, has to defeat Pein at least to the point where he surrenders; 2) Pein discovers where Naruto is and focuses on capturing him; or 3) He must leave for some other unforeseen circumstance (i.e. Madara's orders).

Something must happen. I really can't see Konoha taking much more than what it already has. If this continues then it may be on the same level as the Kyuubi incident.

well i personally like this whole realistic cycle of life thing kishi has fully grasped this whole war is in my opinion a shifting in pwr or rather the passing of the torch frm 1 gen 2 the nxt

Nobody is strong enough to defeat Pein. Not even Naruto. The only way I see Pein being defeated, is if Sasuke and Naruto team up against him.
