1. Is Jiraiya dead?
Kishi : He lives..............................in your heart.
Naruto has to be grown up. Shikamaru also needed to be grown up. And Sakura will have to be grown up, too. Lee? Lee doesn't need to be grown up anymore.

2. What's gonna happen next year?
Kishi : Started with Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
I'm gonna write about mainly Sasuke next year. And Kakashi and Sakura, after that. Especially Kakashi. I can't tell yet but a huge event will happen to him.

3. What kind of way of ending do you do with Sasuke vs Itachi battle?
Kishi : I can't tell. But I have kept this waiting to manga readers for a long time. So I'll have to make everyone gets content with it.

4. Describe the color of Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
Kishi : Glossy-Black

5. Describe the color of Kakashi story which you just mentioned about.
Kishi : Dark Blue

6. You said you're gonna write about Sasuke, Kakashi and Sakura. What about Naruto?
Kishi : Naruto has to wait.

7. Are you gonna write the battle of each member of Hebi?
Kishi : Actually I didn't want to. But Shueisha ordered me to do with something about them.

That's all. He didn't say anything about the Akatsuki on the stage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted this in response to Mellomuse. Yeah, it's all focusing on Naruto now? O'rly?

Best part of the interview. Kishi admits Hebi is Team Filler!

Sasuke development. What makes me hope is that Sasuke will realize he needs his friends, but I'm fearing it actually means he'll find out about Madara and become more like him. Yes, this isn't Avatar where characters *Is jumped by the spoiler gaurds.* Needless to say, I've watched TWA.

Kakashi? Obito=Tobi anyone?

Sakura? As much as I think Sasuke is a lowlife (Crummy guy, but great character. Like Zhao! Except, the Admiral rocked ten times harder, FC been sucked into rufftoon's fan-world.), I would actually be disappointed if the two didn't get together. Sakura's final development seems to lay in romance. What's her REAL resolve as a character other than that? Protect Naruto and Sasuke? Not as strong as Sasuke's revenge and Naruto's Hokage quest. I'll find it highly amusing if she manages to "save everyone," which is what Naruto's been trying to do all of part two.

PS-Avatar still rocks harder. But I'm writing a fanfic for Naruto now, DeiTobi yoai FTW. *Goes to hide under rock. Runs into Zetsu, is saved by Toph.*

Wait, I also had an idea for an Avatar fanfic that's a total rip-off of Fushigi Yugi, Isaia, and Booter-Freak! Away to the type-writer.

And his name is Aerodon.

So, like many I am looking forward to the Golden Compass, an excellentbook series I read in High School. I don't care what a single soul says about "His Dark Material" books, THIS is the kind of literature that students should be reading, the substance, richness, and complexity of this series puts even Harry Potter to shame. Yes I said it! But while this isa fabulous series, I don't necessarily think these are books that should be read to children for um... various reasons, unless you're teaching your kids the heavy stuff of William Blake and John Milton's Paradise Lost.

And I don't think anyone can argue, that the best part of the series were the Daemons! Really, who wouldn't want their own personal embodiment of their character and nature following around them every hour of every day? In the form of an animal no less that reveals your innermost self and theaspests of your subconsciousfor all the world to see?A bright side to Daemons is no one can call you crazy when you start talking back to that little voice in your head... or not in your head anymore. Daemons can be confusing... Try exploring the website, you can even take a test that determines the animal form of your own daemon.

Besides the awesome-ness that is the Golden Compass, Avatar has finally been able to pick up its pace again. Still a Avatar fan, if not so much a die hard fan (The Hellish Hiatus killed a part of me, I swear, maybe why I've been so abscent), season three has been good so far, if not as compelling as the first two were. Maybe it's the lack of direction the kid's journey has so far, and I'm not so happy withoutany villains chasing the Aang Gang. The looming threat hasn't been looming around much the last few episodes. I know the kids deserve a break, but since this season was supposed to go "all out," it's been a little too light-hearted to be that, I don't find it as interesting as I've found other episodes to be. But nothing's been a total waste, Zuko's side of the story (while I'veneverfelt as nor more important than Aang's) has been both fascinating and compelling. We've witness his descend into madness and fear, the war of secrecy between the Fire Lord's children is as vile and veiled as the serpent, poisonous and silent reptile, and Iroh's lastest dish of pwn-ness has made me turn over a new leaf, and am now a completely devoted fangirl-uh... FOLLOWER in the cult of Iroh. Hail ze Teaman, Hail ze Teaman.

Seriously, when you have a MAN like Iroh around (even if he's the elder uncle), how can anyone like inexperienced teens the likes of Sokka and Zuko. Sokka, who's as green as the Earth King's robes and the other makes Hamlet look like a stable youth. But I am to admit, seeing Sokka mature but not have an overnight Gary Stu growth makes me appreciate the man we all know he'll be one day. Zuko, uh...

"Free speech zones (also known as First Amendment Zones, Free speech cages, and Protest zones) are areas set aside in public places for political activists to exercise their right of free speech in the United States. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law... abridging... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The existence of free speech zones is based on U.S. court decisions stipulating that the government may regulate the time, place, and manner-but not content-of expression.

The most prominent free speech zones are those created by the Secret Service for President George W. Bush and other members of his administration.[1] The stated purpose of free speech zones is to protect the safety of the dignitary, or the protesters themselves. Critics, however, suggest that such zones are "Orwellian",[2][3] and that authorities use them in a heavy-handed manner to censor protesters by putting them literally out of sight of the mass media, hence the public, as well as visiting dignitaries. The Secret Service denies specifically targeting protesters, but, on a number of occasions, these denials have been contradicted by local police officers who have stated under oath that Secret Service agents specifically ordered them to target protesters. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a number of lawsuits on the issue."

Glise 581-C, is the first official planet of its kind to be found by humans, a world that resembles Earth with the possibility of being able if not already to support life. Humanity has often wondered if they are alone in this universe, but the discovery of a new world supports the theory that other planets like our own fill the universe.

The world known as Glise 581-c is 20 lightyears away, with a mass five times that of Earth. For more information, go here.

You don't have much heart if that organ keeping you alive doesn't do a little skip.

This song has always made me cry, gave me a little comfort when I was thinking not only of the 32 students and professors killed at Virginia Tech, but of the 157 casualties in the Middle-East. Over 145, 000 people die each day. 6000 thousand an hour. Words, no words at all can make better or proper in any way. But is it too much to hope that the journey is not over yet?

Any minute now my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll stand on the bow
And feel the waves come crashing
Come crashing down, down, down on me

And you said,"Be still, my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in"
Don't you understand?
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today suddenly nothing happened
But in my dreams I slew the dragon
And down this beaten path
And up this cobbled lane
I'm walking in my own footsteps once again

And you say,"Just be here now
Forget about the past
Your mask is wearing thin"
Let me throw one more dice
I know that I can win
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now my ship is coming in
I'll keep checking the horizon
And I'll check my machine
There's sure to be that call
It's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon
It's just that times are lean

And you say,"Be still, my love
Open up your heart
Let the light shine in"
Don't you understand?
I already have a plan
I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Hey heyeyeyeyey
Hey yeeeeeee
Hey heyeyeyeyey
Eeh eeh eeh eeh eh x5

On a clear day
I can see, see for a long way

On a clear day
I can see, see a very long way

In my nitch of friends at my college, I am pretty much known as the Avatar. However there is one girl I know who watches the show as feverishly as me. She's working on a cosplay of Zuko from the finale, and has wrote over fifity Avatar drabbles. I can't find it in me to write Zuko in OZ because inspiration is destroyed when I look at my bad grammar (need to find beta-reader). Usually my friend and I would watch Avatar every time it came on when we were hanging our, we'd watch it on our laptops at school (DVDs), yet we have not done so since December, this is why.

SHE HAD NOT WATCHED A SINGLE EPISODE SINCE CROSSROADS. And I don't mean new episodes like us, I'm talking about juicy reruns that keep us sane in this Hiatus from Heck.

In the name of Avatar's creativity, what possesses her? She says she won't watch any ATLA until we get Book 3: Fire. Not even a rerun of the season two's finale, to absorb its awesome-ness again and catch every little mind-bobbling detail. I still don't understand, she says this is how she has been "coping" with the abscent of new episodes. She doesn't watch to see any steller fighting sequences, hear Sokka's sarcasm, or endure Zuko's angst (can't say I blame her there.) Any of it. She refuses to even watch her old clips with Koh and Iroh, whom are her favorite antagonist and protagonist.  NONE OF IT. NO Koh's creepiness, no Iroh wisdom or love.

Heaven Above, how do these people do it? Over FOUR MONTHS of Avatar withdrawl. Maybe she just isn't a hardcore fan she says she is, or she has a will of iron. Maybe this this a strike against Nick. Or she still can't cope with Zuko's choices. Huge Zuko fangirl in her. I know denial can be a healthy thing (what I found at Booter-freak's recently. Fishman/Zombie love *shudders*). But c'mon. You change for reality, it doesn't change for you.

Just imagine if this were you. 0.0

Well, last attempt to spread the workings of my deranged mind didn't work out so I'm reposting the link. So read or ignore this piece of fiction that proves itself stranger than life.

Link Ch1

Summery: Zuko awakens to find himself in the strange and wonderful land of OZ. After accidentally killing the Gloomy Governess of the Northwest and freeing the hawk-hen Billina he is sent to capital of OZ by the Good Witch of the North; in order seek the land’s ruler, an all-powerful wizard capable to return him home, but to get to there he must follow the infamous Yellow Brick Road and finds unexpected and un-welcomed company of brainless Ty Lee, heartless Jet, and Bosco the Friendly Bear.

Just a little somethin' I found browsing the net.

YOU WERE JUST BORN

If you were gay nephew.

ZUKO

I got lots of border giftcards this year, and I know what I'm getting.

The Lost Scroll of the Fire Nation
-If you are reading this, you have uncovered one of the four hidden scrolls I have compiled about the world of Avatar. This scroll contains sacred information about the Fire Nation -- stories, legends, and facts that I have found so far about this nation -- its history and culture and tales of its past and present.

Katara describes how Aang outwits and defeats the dreaded Admiral Zhao and the Fire Navy, Aang tells how he comes to accept his destiny, and Prince Zuko recalls the time he once captured -- and lost -- the Avatar. The scroll also contains information about leaders of the Fire Nation, Firebending techniques, the spirit world, and much more.

Keep this scroll safe, and share it only with those you trust.

Beware, for there are many who wish to expose its secrets...

The Lost Scroll of the Water Tribe
-If you are reading this, you have uncovered one of the four hidden scrolls I have compiled about the world of Avatar. This scroll contains all of the knowledge that I have gathered so far about the Water Tribes -- their history and culture and the great tales of their past and present.

Katara recounts her discovery of the Avatar in the iceberg, Sokka remembers his childhood upon seeing their father's old friend, and Aang tells of his lessons with the Waterbending master in the North. The scroll also contains information about Waterbending moves, Healers, Water tribe traditions, and much more.

Keep this scroll safe, and share it only with those you trust. Beware, for there are many who wish to expose its secrets...

The Lost Scroll of the Earth Kingdom
-The contents of this scroll have yet to be revealed...

The Lost Scroll of the Air Nomads
-Such were their lives and culture lost, but that does not mean their history. Only until times allows us to finds the remains of the Air Nomads can we grasp their history and traditions. Can this scroll be a glimpse to the past??

:D
