We will now discuss Naruto is a spoilery manner.

This is going to be FUN. I haven't seen a real curb stomp battle in ever!

I hadn't even realized that.

That might be officially more stupid than the glowing blue sweat that acts like a Tailed Beast's chakra cloak.

I was under the impression the glowing blue sweat didn't do anything. Like it was just a by-product of opening the 7th gate, and served no purpose other than to help Gai look badass. Meanwhile a Tailed Beast's chakra cloak thingy can be manipulated and can interact with its enironment.

It simply signifies the gate's opening like arcanum said. I'm pretty sure even Gai pointed it out as cosmetic.

I had to sit there & think of why Kisame was going "holy shit!" when he thought it was chakra, when he saw it pushing back the water. And then the answer came to me: Visible aura that exerts actual force on its surroundings? The last place I've seen chakra do that was when Naruto fought Sasuke, after Naruto went 1 Tail.

Although, even if it didn't do anything, it's still pretty retarded.

Kisame is so ballin' that nobody but him could be allowed to kill him.

But it's not the glowing blue aura of sweat that was pushing the water back, it's the same heat that causes the sweat to evaporate in the first place (the heat emanating from Gai's body) that is evaporating the water around him. Kisame just thought it was the aura pushing it back because he thought it was Chakra.

I think what pisses me off most about this is that it makes sense.

Hmmm. Not bad. Definitely a clever use of exploding tags. Also, Madara's giving me a weird sense of deja vu with a bit of his face revealed.

[Donomni]

Konan's still alive after this chapter!... sorta.

Also, SEA OF PAPER.

Oh, and some crazy bullshit about the Rinnegan, Akatsuki, and Madara trying to act like Aizen.
