What's up with Naruto lately? :(

Ever since the huge battle with Sasuke and him going missing, Naruto (the show) has been rather so-so in its story plot. Basically, it's all about finding clues that would lead to his wherabouts. :P

Let's see, there was the one where a prisoner escaped that has a link with Orochimaru, then there's the bug that could find a person's scent no matter where they are and now there's this person that was once part of a group that has something to do with Sasuke's brother.

All of those missions so far lead to nothing. It's so frustrating and not to mention getting boring. There's no new techniques developed by Naruto other than how he uses them. Only other characters are being focused on. :P

Sakura shows promise after the dissapointing display of ability in the past 100 episodes. ^_^"" She is proving to be the next Tsunade (frightening strength and healing ability). I just hope the episodes get better. :( The comic, according to my brother has taken a different turn. They have grown somewhat and they showed a little bit of Gara's good side.

Since I've invested a lot on this anime, I'll have faith in it. ^_^"""
