Well, by the latest chapter, apparently Konoha is the West considering that there's apparently no fourth recruit. Sorry 'bout that, hehe, guess I misread that part. Other than that, my prediction for the latest chapter came true about the Juugo joining Sasuke and the update on Naruto. Check my entry last April 20 if you don't believe me.

Reviews first:

I'm actually okay with it...but Sasuke's never-ending-exsasperating-annoying-forever-ongoing---er, you guys get my point, hehe---goal to get revenge on his brother is seriously annoying me. I mean, sure, he's an avenger, and I understand that it was that very same reason he went to Orochimaru in the first place...but that was one thing I DID NOT MISS WHEN SASUKE WAS GONE!!!! I am SICK OF HEARING OF REVENGE!!!!!! Yes, I know his reasons, but he doesn't have to continue mentioning it out loud!!!!! Oh...*ehem* sorry...Sasuke's just been seriously disappointing me recently. Oh...and naming his group "snake"...how original is that? (By the way...if you told be two years ago that I'd be...er..."disliking"...*COUGHCOUGHhatingCOUGHCOUGH* Sasuke, I'd think you were joking. It just goes to show how much Sasuke's character has regressed due to his obssession with revenge. NOT JUSTICE...REVENGE!!!)

Naruto, on the other hand, is definitely really improving. Not only is he able to keep his head together in a situation where he would have immediately tried to jump out the window without thinking, but he was actually able to assess the situation and form a plan that may actually work to stop Sasuke! Apparently Naruto's been hiding an inner genius! Seriously, it might not have been difficult to figure out that Sasuke was going after Itachi, but the fact that he was able to think of forming a platoon and going after Itachi on the spot is impressive considering Naruto's actions when he was onyl 12 years old. Our blonde has definitely grown up. (I'm so proud! *sniff*)

Err...yea, moving on...theories for the next chapter:

No exciting stuff yet. The ending of the last chapter was already kinda climactic. What we might be getting in the next chapter is the formation of Naruto's platoon. That might take one or two chapters, maybe three if people are hesitant to go after the traitor of Konoha. Team Kakashi *COUGHCOUGHTeamNarutoCOUGHCOUGH* is most likely a given. Either way, I'm thinking that Sai will most likely be part of the platoon. Oh, and maybe Yamato as well. Other members? Er...might be the original retrieve Sasuke team: what I like to call the Leaf 5. (Note that yes, I say "Leaf," 'cause "Konoha" is reserved for the "Konoha 11").

In short, it's a chapter to look forward to.

'Till next time then...ja!

Right...as much as I'd like to know what Sasuke's really up to, I don't really care for the most recent chapter. No offense to the people who like it! I read it too, and I appreciate it, but I feel that Naruto's being neglected again. I mean, come on! It been a long time since he actually did something productive.

Sorry to my fellow fans of Shippuden, but I really feel that the story is dragging for now. It's dissapointing considering all of the important things that have happened, so it needs to pick up soon.

Looking at the plot for now, the next chapter will either be all-Sasuke again with the Juugo finale, or intro of how to convice Juugo to join Sasuke with an update of what's going on with Naruto. Either way, I don't think there'll be much action in the next chapter, other than the Karin vs. Suigetsu theme Kishimoto-sensei's started up.

Ah well, that ends this for now. We'll see next week if Shippuden picks up the pace. If not, then I'll be switching to the anime temporarily until it does.

Speaking of which, the anime's doing well. As usual they're following the manga by pabel, so it's easy enough to keep up. In other words: WE'RE GONNA SEE ITACHI SOON!!!! YEAH!!! NARUTO'S TIME TO SHINE...er...AGAIN!!!

Ah well, that's all for now.

Okay, I thought I'd acutally make a post like this since I've been making theories about Shippuden throughout the year, hehe.

Looking at the past few chapters, I already had a suspicion when Sasuke freed Suigetsu and suggested that there were three more people to recruit. At first, I didn't have anything to work with. But when they got Karin from the south, however, I finally had a working theory.

Most, if not all anime find a way to fit the Four Chinese constellations into the plot. Naruto Shippuden, I'm thinking will be no different.

Suigetsu......................WATER element, was held captive in the EAST

Karin...........................unknown element, was held captive in the SOUTH

Juugo..........................unknown element, held captive in the NORTH

Sasuke's next recruit.....unknown elemet, most likely held captive in the WEST



Look at that, EAST-SOUTH-NORTH-WEST. Thus I am making the presumptions that Suigetst = Seiryu, Karin = Suzaku, Juugo = Genbu, and Sasuke's next recruit = Byakko.

And there you have the four symbols of the Chinese constellations. Not sure of what importance it will be yet due to the lack of information given in the manga, but I think there will be a ever-frustrating long chapter on its explanation if I'm right about this.

Sorry if the serious Naruto discussion freaks people out, but that's me, as and would know. In fact, the serious Naruto discussion freaks out, since she just got into Shippuden, so...yea, hehe.

That's all for now! Look forward to more Naruto Shippuden Theories/Predictions in the future, 'cause I have been watching waaaaaaayy too much tv and movies which has given me the gift of predicting plot twists and such before they even hint at it.

I was so scandalized during the "releasing of the butterflies" in our grad ball last night...the butterflies came in FOLDED PIECES OF PAPER!!!! Throughout all the speeches, a lot of us wanted to release the butterflies already. I mean, COME ON!!!!

When the time came to release them, our table's butterfly was so disoriented that it took...what...fifteen minutes or so before it flew! It stayed in my hand for the whole time, and I was even trying to encourage it to fly. I was just glad that it was still alive, hehe. It was a really vain butterfly though. It cleaned itself first before it took flight.

Yes, I mean that quite literally.

We were actually on our way home, when we saw a bunch of cars grouped together on the street. So, naturally, we slow down, right? Suddenly, a rock was thrown at our van, and went through the second row window!

We didn't realize it was a rock at first, 'cause it actually sounded like a gun! The way it smashed through the window, the sound was more of a sound of explosion than the sound of breaking glass. Apparently some guy went crazy and started throwing concrete rocks at passing cars! He hit about four of more, I think...

But seriously, I was in the passenger seat, and my sister and her nanny were in the second row, and our seats were reclined. It was safer for the people in the second row, 'cause that meant that they were leaning away from the trajectory of the rock. I, on the other hand, would have been right in the rocks path if I hadn't decided a few seconds earlier that I wasn't comfortable with too much leg space. If I hadn't moved my seat forward, the rock would have surely hit my head since my seat was reclined.

Well, there's my life and death situation right there! I was honestly acting weird then. Everyone was acting kinda traumatized. Our nanny couldn't stop talking a mile a minute, our driver went down to talk to the other drivers, and my sister went kinda pale and couldn't talk for a while. What did I do? I was calm! I was shocked that the windows were broken, yea, but I wasn't scared! I weirded myself out.

Well, 'till next time! (Can now say that with an even bigger smile since I'm still alive and well)
