Naruto Chapter 377: Hermit-Mode
Summary: All of Jiraiya's attacks are blocked. (Read 377 at One Manga)
SnowyOwl Says:
Not too much to say. The bickering frogs were a weak attempt at humor and came off annoying and inappropriate given the situation they are in. And why are ultimate defenses always in the form of ridiculous animals? (Gaara's Tanuki defense anyone?) It there something lost in translation or cultural that I'm missing?
Looks like Pain can see through his summons' eyes. In that case, those three really shouldn't stand next to each other if they want to take advantage of that.
I love Jiraiya and all, but I'm getting bored. Can we go back to Naruto (or Sasuke) already? I'm having Kiba and Suigetsu withdrawls.
Witherwing Writes:
A few thoughts -
Who are the two that were summoned? Ninja's under a spell? Puppets? What's with the piecings? Not cute!
Is anyone else weirded out by how uncool Jiraiya's jutsu is? Hair-needle barrage? The crouching, the punching. So not hip.

I fail to see how grafting geriatric retired toad-people onto your shoulders is a GOOD idea. It does, however, explain why it's the ultimate *hermit* technique. But if Pein/Nagato can see through his clones' eyes at once, it's still not quite as good as Neji's Unspellable Technique of Pokey Doom in close quarters, although it would come into it's own at a distance. Although their Super Absorbency is a plus. Pesky oil spill? No problem! Bounty No Jutsu! And environmentally conscious!
I dunno if the silly animal defense is a cultural thing, or not. Maybe the attacker is actually supposed to be smothered to death by laughing at the summoned Cookie Jar Critter Defense no Jutsu. Or just give up due to sheer ridiculousness, and commit suicide because they couldn't defeat the Teddy Bear Defense. The Dread Pirate should consider that one- coming up with an animal defense so absurd that Itachi commits suicide out of the sheer shame of being related to someone who could come up with it. It'd be perfect! Defeat + Humiliation = VENGEANCE!!! He could do the My Little Pony Defense! The Wall O' Care Bears. The options are limitless! He could ask Karin for advice- I'll bet she could help him. She and Sakura could get together and do something useful (will anyone else like Sakura SO MUCH once she's FINALLY allowed to be consistently useful?) and come up with one.
Ooh dear, it feels like I haven't been here for ages....
I have nothing to say except: OH MY GODS CAN THE FIGHT JUST FINISH ALREADY! D:
:( I wasn't in the mood for it when it started, and I'm still not... I, too, am suffering from withdrawal from far more awesome characters! :'(
379--Things just got worse for the Hermit... *If* he survives, he's not going to be the same.
Ask and ye shall receive, I guess. Check out 380. Sweet!
