The plot thickens!

I realize that this review is extremely late. I can explain! I was uber busy because my DVR got so full with the Twilight Zone marathon going on and for some reason I never feel like watching Bleach anymore, so I had about four weeks worth of that on there. Total Drama Island and Inuyasha had the majority of the space though, so that's what was taking up so much room. But I finally managed to get around to watching Naruto, so here's the review!!!

Naruto talks to Yakumo, while Kurenai talkes to her squad and Sakura. Both women explain why Yakumo's power is shut, but there's a lie somewhere in there! Shino made careful observations about they way Kurenai moved while she talked and he discovered that her fist was clenched up until the part where she explained that she was jealous of Yakumo, hence that was a falsehood! OK, that about sums it up. I had a weird dream about the Jonas Brothers last night. It was odd, because I don't even like them. :?moreless

  Kurenai: They're masters of genjutsu. You going to be alright alone?
  Guy: Are you kidding? With this finely tuned lethal weapon of a body. You think I can't handle their genjutsu tricks? I can handle them jutsu wait and see. (Does his patented smile and laughs) Don't you get it? Jutsu wait and see? (Laughs)
