Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chapter 311:

First and foremost, KAKASHI. YAY. Secondly, a very amusing chapter.

Sai: Oh, I see. "H-A-G."
Sakura:...SHANNARO.

This is why I love Sai-Sakura interaction. When Sai is an a*****e (intentionally or no), his character is very amusing. With that said, I think it's cute how he's trying to learn manners from a book.

Cute, verreh cute.

Also, did any of you notice Sakura's outfit change? Something more casual perhaps? Her training garments? Oh, but she still has her classic "f-me boots." <3 Yes, I would notice something like this...

One downside: With the exception of Naruto, I still do not see enough wangst. I'm left...feeling a bit unsatisfied with how Sasuke impacted Team 7 generally. They seem too relaxed...Kakashi specifically. Then again, he isn't a man of many words and he was probably suspecting as such. Sakura...hmm, I think she's holding a front. She may have been too afraid to confront him, but she did analyze his fighting style and even proceeded to question Tsunade about it. I think she will become very useful with this knowledge. Hopefully. x____x

But yeah. My two cents~

Spooooiiilers >;D

Sai was so freaking adorable in this chapter. It was absuloutely hilarous when he called Sakura a hag after thinking about her characteristics XDDDD I want to see more Sai-Naruto interaction. SaiNaru and SasuSaku fan!! ..ignore that. Argh no, I don't want people calling Sasuke a drug-addict D;

The changes of outfit were nice. ^^ Personally I think whilst Naruto is angsting away because of yet another failure of bringing back Sasuke, Sakura is trying her best to stay strong and give the team encouragement. I think at this point, after they've seen Sasuke and seen how strong he is, they really REALLY want to get stronger and bring Sasuke back. So, therefore I really want Sakura to learn some insanely awesome new jutsu. Yeah, that would be nice. xD

But, argh! Probably another long wait till we see Sasuke or not? D;

A little bit late but.. whatever >w< (spoilers):

This chapter made me happy. Adorable Sai, new outfits, and Kakashi. It's nice to know that Sakura was very concerned about Sasuke. But I really dislike that fact that there is a possiblity that Sasuke might be taking drugs. Steroids?! O_O Noo Sasuke!! *cries*I always thought he would be the kind of person who wanted to gain power through hard work and effort. That's why a part of me is hoping that Orochimaru told Kabuto to secretly give Sasuke drugs without him noticing somehow. Orochimaru wants Sasuke strong when he takes over his body [which I hope he doesn't D:]! *sigh* I dunno. We'll find out sooner or later (hopefully soon x_x)

Also, I have to agree about Sai. He was very adorable in this chapter. I loved it when Sai called Sakura ugly/hag. XD (although everyone knows that Sakura isn't ugly or a hag ^^)

Seeing Kakashi also made my day. But now I'm worried that Sakura might receive less attention since Kakashi is going to train Naruto. D: But overall, chapter was good... Okay. I'm ready for the next chapter! XD

So far, after the time skip, we've seen two different outfits she wears. <3

I absolutely love Sakura's new outfit. It makes her look more mature and she looks really good in it.

What I've read...Sasuke has turne dinto a real a**. I was really pissed when he attempted to kill Sakura when she charged at him. If Yamato hadn't stood in the way, Sakura would've been gravely injured. I think that Sakura has lost her affection towards Sasuke. Sasuke has changed completely, he isn't the guy he was before. What I think is that Sakura is dissapointed towards him.

I agree with Kairi. I don't think she's lost her affection for Sasuke, but her respect for him, or his trust. Sakura is seemingly very loyal to Konoha, and I bet that she'd be upset that Sasuke betrayed said village. I truely can't see her running into Sasuke's arms the second he decides to be a good guy again (because he WILL, dammit *hopes*). I think she'd actually avoid trying to feel too much for him before she actually decides to trust him. It would take time, because Sakura's smarter than to just trust him suddenly because she loves him.

Yes. Kishimoto has a blast on keeping us stuff... stare
Still, the way Sakura looks at Sasuke doesn't show much affection. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm thinking that Naruto's wining Sakura's heart. Still, they don't make a good looking couple.
