Well if that isn't just like Kishimoto.

Yeah, those spoilers that you may have been hearing about lately, about HInata rushing to Naruto's defense, declaring that she's willing to sacrifice her life to protect him because she loves him, her very brief fight with Pain that ends with her appearing dead and Naruto goes six-tails with rage?

Well it turns out those were all true.

And the thing of it is, if ALL THE OTHER VILLAGERS HAD GOTTEN OFF THEIR BUTTS AND JOINED HINATA IN HER DEFENSE OF NARUTO, THINGS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT MUCH BETTER!

Oh well, while the fight was pathetically short, Hinata went out like a hero.  God speed Hinata, may you be reincarnated into a series that won't screw you and all the other ladies over so badly.

EXACTLY!!!

Even...seriously, couldn't he have had a moment of Hinata vision? When she's giving her speech and knowing that she's about to die...right before she says "Because...I love you," have the panel show Pain in chakra-vision, and just be this STORM of chakra, like, with the heavy, dark lines and just this air of "Good LORD, someone's supposed to STOP that???"...and then have her charge...

Just a little longer!

I mean, hey, when Orihime ends up being useless in a fight, she at least has a moment where she tries and is totally denied...she makes awesomefaces and gets tough. But...nope. Nopey-dopey.

And that lion technique was AWESOME.

You know, like how Katara went and pwned Zuko in a block of ice, and Zuko was just like, "Whut?" and blew the whole thing apart...THEN kicked Katara's butt. Something like that. All we're asking!

HINATA VISION! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

ANIME WRITERS, READ OUR THOUGHTS; WHEN YOU EXPAND ON THAT SCENE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HINATA VISION!

AND HERE'S ANOTHER HELL YEAH TO THE LION TECHNIQUE!

I feel that all shonen could learn a lot from Avatar. Then again, most fiction could stand to learn a lesson or two from Avatar.
