Naruto 321 Review!!!
K, by now you already know the site where you can read it. Sorry I don't have a link.

Oh my word I was jumping in my seat while reading this one. Of course in the last chapter I was mad at this cliffhanger of Kakashi about to tell Naruto something interesting. I was like what?! WHAT?! then having to wait a week was terrible but now, WAH! I'm so excited.
Kakashi tells Naruto about how he has now learned the two ways of using chakra for a new jutsu: form manipulation and nature manipulation. Naruto finally realizes, after another reminder (man this guy's forgetful!) that he can combine the rasengan with his wind manipulation ability. But Kakashi tells him that no one, not even the Fourth Hokage could do it. Kakashi reveals that he can use Rasengan!! My motuh dropped. Of course I forgot he was Copy Ninja Kakashi and it probably was no problem for him to copy that jutsu from Yodaime. Still it was awesome. What Kakashi tells him next is the favorite quote which I will get to later. Asuma reveals he was one of the 12 guardian shinobis and was friends with the monk shinobi that Kakuzu killed, which I was like, duh like I didn't know already from the sash he was wearing and the old priest's words in the last chapter. But I think it's cool that Kishimoto is focusing on a character that hasn't had much light on him like, ever. I mean when reading back in the manga where Asuma encountered Itachi in his first appearace, I never noticed his hand blades that were focused on a few chapters ago when he gave Naruto some tips on wind chakra manipulation. I must have been pretty unobservant. Then again, back in those chapters when I first read them I hadn't been the Naruto fan I am now.
Anyway, the plot thickens as Naruto continues his training...alone.

Naruto 320 Favorite Quote:

Kakashi: "I believe the one that will surpass the Fourth Hokage...is you."

(This has to be the best quote I've read since Yamato's words in Chapter 299! This was absolutely awesome! Here Kakashi is explaining that mixing form and nature chakra manipulation is impossible even for S-class shinobi, even for the Fourth Hokage! And then he says that! Boy, what a boost for Naruto. It makes me remember back in the very beginning where Naruto first states his dream, to surpass all the previous hokage and make everyone respect him and believe in him. Right there, his dream is coming true. And for Kakashi of all people to say that, says something. He worked right alongside Yodaime, he was his student. It must really be something if finally Naruto's powers are being recognized by him, Jiraiya, Godaime Tsunade and many others. Naruto is on his way to becoming Hokage for sure.)
