Europe: With Dungeons And Dragons Being A Childs Game...

Was Tim Duncan prowling the whole time for underage booty?

Like I mentioned last week, Gaara basically confessed to Naruto in every way possible without actually doing a confession. And it was arguably one of the best confessions in the entire series. So what does he do this week?

He one-ups himself! Not only does he declare his "friendship", but he makes Naruto think...REALLY think about what his "friendship" is with Sasuke. If this was a shoujo manga, it'd be like telling the female lead "All he does is hurt you...but I love you!"...but instead, this is just to mean "bonds"(YEAH...SUUUURE it does).

It's like as if Kishimoto is telling us, "You know, that confession from Sakura was so incredibly bad, I'm going to have Gaara make ANOTHER confession after the initial confession he made that completely made Sakura's confession look like . See? I can write a good confession scene when I feel like it!"

"I think of you as a friend."

Yeah, Gaara...I bet you do. Oh, and did anyone notice? Naruto was moved. Startled. Even had a big "!" when Gaara said that. What can I conclude from this?

Naruto is more accepting of a relationship with Gaara then he is with Sakura or Hinata.

And you know? I don't see anything wrong with that.

Man, it's rare when there's a female character this cool in the manga. I guess we'd have to go back to Ayame the ramen girl or something to find one, but Karui is awesome beyond words.

Not only can she rock red hair without looking like a tool(I'm looking at you, Karin and Nagato), but instead of moping around, she's looking to stab the out of people that don't give her the answers she needs. It took her about 5 seconds to figure out that Sakura was lame and needed stabbing. For once, the manga's got an angry that you just don't wanna mess with.

Karui is a pretty cool chick. Ehs makes Sakura cry by asking questions and doesn't afraid of anything.

Yes Sasuke, thrust your baton in between Naruto’s buttocks. Naruto will groan from pain, tenderly rubbing his ass from the abuse, while you’ll watch impassively that massive rod inserted in his butt.
