Naruto Chapter 448/449: Memento/The Flower of Hope

Summary: Naruto spares Nagato's life to carry on Jiraiya's dream. Nagato places his hope for peace in Naruto, and brings everyone he killed in Konoha back to life.

Mmmm...Not as happy as I'd thought I'd be seeing Kakashi alive for several reasons:

1) He didn't want it

Well, more like he didn't not want to be dead. He was at peace and he even had that taken away from him. Poor Kakashi.

2) Playing God is cheating

Chiyo's life-for-a-life was touching. Un-doing a war? Not so cool. What is Nagato teaching Naruto? That if you make the right choices, everything will be right with the world. That all he needs is knows what pain is, but not actually have to live with it? No no no. And bringing back everyone dilutes the value of any one single person coming back. Arg!

3) Sasuke shows up.

I found ending with him irksome. So Naruto learns a lesson and Kishi is all like: that was practice! Now go apply what you learned with someone else that wants to destroy Konoha! Kishi, I want new plot please.

-sigh-

At least Suigetsu is back. Maybe he'll eat Sasuke before they get to the Leaf.
