lol.
This chapter was okay. I thought the ending was a bit anticlimactic... and yet I can't really see it ending any other way. You know, these epic battles always have some twist on ending, as opposed to brute strength versus brute strength. Not that this is the end... it might not be. XD
But like, you take for instance Neo and Smith in The Matrix Revolutions. That ended by Neo succumbing, and not down to the one killer blow by Smith. Goku vs Frieza wasn't a full-on Kamehameha in Frieza's face - he just got chopped in two by his own discs. (they saved the big Kamehameha for Gohan instead XD)
This chapter kind of follows that trend, in which Naruto just... gets Force-Pulled and then has his powers sapped from him.
Granted, that's what Pain was supposed to do - not kill him but capture him.
I can't really say the chapter is memorable... but I do think the very last shot - of Pain declaring 'The Nine-Tailed Fox has been captured' - holds that sort of ominous feeling that makes the chapter okay.
Pity Sasuke stuffed up the Eight-Tails, though. >_>

Hmm. Interesting indeed. I did kinda like it, even though Naruto was bested, after all Pain is godly. So what's it gonna be...Hinata coming to the rescue? Or the frogs finish their genjutsu. Or Pain makes it away? I reckon Hinata'll do a sacrifice for him. But I would kill Pain myself should anything happen to her.

Yeah. Gotta give it to Naruto... he's put up a hell of a fight so far. Having physically taken out more than half of the Pains... meanwhile everyone's like "UH. RUN?"
I kinda hope Hinata does something... but I kinda hope she doesn't. Maybe she'll wait until Pain leaves and then say to the frogs "HEY. KUCHIYOSE NARUTO BACK. THAT'LL SHOW PAIN WHO THE BOSS IS." XD
As long as the Naruto that's been captured isn't a frickin' Kage Bunshin. I'm gettin' sick of it, really.
Pain: "I got you" *poof* Naruto: "HAHA, BUNSHIN." Pain: "... get a new jutsu >_>"

Interesting chapter, though Pain's godmodding is getting as old as Naruto's "lol Kage Bunshin!" trick.
Thank god the Reviver-Pain is dead. I'm just hoping they pull something out of the hat there, because Naruto is gonna be fairly well screwed if he loses Kyuubi.
