Naruto Manga 327: Amongst Despair

Asuma no! I mean, Kuranai even did the symbolic broken flower thing. She should have been more gentle with her flowers. I mean they try to give you hope with that beating heart and bringing in Chouji and Ino but it's just the reunion before the end.

On a side note: who's the guy that looks like Robin and wears the funnyblack cape?

And what is the leader of the bad guys sitting on?

It's strange commenting on this chapter knowing what happens in the next chapter. I did feel that having Chouji and Ino come to the rescue as a bit contrived. Some other squad from the 20 small brigade would have been more appropriate (or the Sand Sibs!). It's all a set up for the goodbye. I don't know, I kinda wish that it was just between Asuma and Shikamaru. But these musings belong to the next post!

Glasses guy? I think I've seen him somewhere. Will do research.

And what's with the baddies just dropping everything? 20 more seconds and they could have finished them off. That makes no sense. Malfoy took at least that long just complaining. Bah!
