Illuminated by the cold sun I had some tame freedom
On the miraculous night reflected in the mirror
My soul began to remove its mask
On the other side of the crumbling wall,
Despair and hope wear the same face
If your heart is not satisfied Head towards the ending prologue that flies away...
In this world where the wind blows like a knife
What is it that I should protect?

...Because I so needed to update this thing again.
Actually, my real purpose for updating is simply for adding some contact information. In other words, links to my profiles on a handful of other sites.
Live Journal ~
Deviant Art ~
MySpace ~
Photobucket ~
Sheezy Art ~
I'm sure there are plenty of other sites that I have accounts on, but those 4 listed above are the only things I bother updating. Plus MySpace, of course. But somehow... I don't see the need to put a link for that here. Because if you're reading this and can't find my MySpace, well... Best of wishes to you.
As long as I am updating, however, I feel the need to rant about how crazy the next chapter of Naruto is going to be. That's chapter 345 for you American fans. In other words, unless you actually bother paying attention to the Japanese version of the series, disregard this information for now.
I've already found a preview of the next chapter. After the showdown between Orochimaru and Sasuke, only one remains. Kabuto inquires about it to Sasuke or Orochimaru in Sasuke's body, but it's not revealed who. Damn... It looks like we'll have to wait until chapter 346. I can tell you my opinion on the matter, anyways, for those who care.
Personally and despite my infatuation towards Sasuke, I honestly believe Orochimaru was successful. There's no way Kishimoto would kill off such an important villain, especially not after revealing a tidbit about his past. But I don't believe Sasuke will have permanently lost his body either, because his and Naruto's rivalry is still unsettled. It would be a waste of many, MANY chapters of Naruto's training to get Sasuke back to have Sasuke die over the lapse of 2 chapters. No way.
Second scenario..? Sasuke won. Although, if Sasuke won, there's no way Orochimaru would be dead. Absolutely not. Plain and simple, despite what this chapter tries to lead you to believe, neither of them will disappear from the series completely.
And for those who were ever wondering about Orochimaru's reason for leaving the Akatsuki, that was also touched upon in this chapter. Much like he does to Sasuke here, Orochimaru dragged Itachi into his mental world (lack of better thing to call it) in an attempt to take his body. Itachi overpowers him, however, and nullifies the jutsu. Pissing off such a powerful guy would be reason enough to quit the Akatsuki, I gather. We see Sasuke struggling in this same mental world, but since we don't see the outcome, we're left at another cliffhanger.
Please note that even though the information above is very likely, it is still based off simple images, rumors, assumptions, and speculations. I warn you not to take it to heart, because if I'm wrong, I don't feel like being bitched at about it. But the spoilers for the last chapter turned out to be true, as were spoilers for several prior, so I see no reason for the above to be false.
And as long as I'm on the subject of Naruto, it turns out that Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX was released in Japan for the Wii. It features the Shippuuden episodes (focusing on the rescue Gaara arc) and many characters from the previous games will be playable, plus several new ones. In addition, all of the recurring characters will be in there post time lapse attire. Yay! For the record, here's a list characters.
Uzumaki Naruto (No s**t...)
Haruno Sakura
Hatake Kakashi
Rock Lee
Hyuuga Neji
Tenten
Maito Gai
Gaara
Kankuro
Temari
Uchiha Itachi
Hoshigaki Kisame
Deidara
Sasori (in Hiruko)
Some special pluses for the characters are Kyuubi Naruto (One Tail) Sharingan Kakashi, First Gate and Forth Gate Lee, and First Gate Gai (Sixth as a special).
Unfortunately, this game is for the Wii, which is a system that I do not have. So that's the only information I can give at this time. As far as I know, those are the only playable characters which is quite a shame since it's considerably less than the last game which had 30+. Also, many of my favorite characters (Sasuke, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Shikamaru) do not appear to be on that list. But since it's for the Wii, I suppose the gameplay would be pretty damn cool with the Wii Controller and all.
Well, I certainly managed to talk a lot this time, didn't I..? It just goes to show how much I love Naruto. For now, it's Au revoir, but I plan to update again soon. Look out for it.
In this journey where I know one pain after another
I draw closer to my true self
Fake light that is disappearing...
True light that is being born...
In these hands...
