I kind of feel like this was a filler chapter, not sure why though because a few big things happened. We got to see what a doll and host separation would be like for both parties. I'm not sure who it is worst for, the host because they can die or the doll because they have to go to sleep knowing that they failed to protect their hosts. It was nice to see the connection that Temari and Gaara have to one another, it's grown so much from what it was when this story started.

It was good to see Deidara in a somewhat good light. I am sad for him because he seems to have lost his most important person, his host. It is unclear whether he will go the way of Haku and Sakura and become Sasuke's dolls. While it was nice to see Itachi and Sai powers grow, I still want to see some advancement from the other dolls. It's more important now than ever that they be as strong as possible. Are all the dolls able to achieve the levels of power that Sai and Naruto have? I don't know if that has been explained before. Sorry for the late review, I really wanted to be able to gather my thoughts about the chapter and then I kind of forgot to write them out. Good work as always.

R.I.P. Kisame...

yeah he dies in an epic way two brothers(a hokage and his young bro who the eigth tails)both kill him by beheading him it was funny but suprising as he still speaked while it was cut...when i was reading about kisame hear that what pop into my head check naruto manga 473 einglish by acc21A1 (just like that way)in youtube...

lol a doll cant live withought its cake hm i should give my porcelaine dolls cake before they thraten me with a knife to get them some 0-0...

YOSH!
i was rigth oh yeah XD

Lets see...if i can guess this one rigth the big bad first doll is...hm...(crums still drumming and getting impatient)...damn it um its uh its...okay i give up but the dark sage is orochimaru the mother is stunadey and the white sage is jaraiya yes?!

dreamlr sigh

a boy and his dolls,...who new it could make such beautifull relationship...

THIS story rocks!
as i was watching the water from the sink go inside the lil hole(i was cleaning the dishes)somehow i remeber of a dream i had about reading this story and qwritting ´hey awsome story i had a strange dream about this story XD!´

...it gets preety normal to me since it seems that what id dream always comes true or gives me a hint of whats gponna happen in the future...

Wait! Ok so I was thinking and realized that the 4th Hokage could also be the white Sage- but I still think it's Jiraiya. And I'm scared of what you said about not hating you for what happens next chapter... Speaking of which, PLEASE UPDATE SON! I finished reading this and was like 'NEXT CHAPTER!' just to realize that it's not up yet. T_T Anywho, back to what's going to happen next chapter... Sasori whispered 'I'm sorry, Deiedara' and flesh was cut, there was an explosion and everything so I'm guessing that Sasori did something to kill Zetsu but is very close to death himself... I don't think he'll be dead just yet but maybe. What I do think, though, whether he's dead or about to be dead, is that he already passed off his rose or is going to... Maybe. I don't know. This is one of few stories that I actually can't tell what is going to happen next. DX

Well, that's actually a good thing because it means I will never waiver from the story out of (if nothing else) curiosity.

...Deidara is the Second Child?!?! With Sasori as his host [...and possibly slash puppeteer]?!?! Eh? That makes things more difficult. How are they going to 'save' Deidara and Sasori and bring them onto the good side? Well the plot thickens and everything becomes a lot more difficult. *Sigh* Wait a minute... if Madara is playing a role later on... it is possible that he is the Black Sage... and what, the first Hokage could be the White Sage? Eh? Or is it actually Orochimaru and Jiraiya? Hum... This chapter answered so many questions and yet... at the same time brought up just as many that were answered. Uwa! DX

Aw, there we go. Sasuke and Naruto are getting so mush stronger now. Not only that, but they're also getting closer. ^_^

Ok, I'm going to do something different and review as I read. :)

Ok, so this doll has red eyes which means it's either Kurenai or Karin... Ah, there's also red hair. So we've got Karin who... seems to enjoy Sasuke's company... *Eye twitch* Pft, more like obsessed. Wow. Stalker much? Yeah, that doll is definitely Karin. -_-'

Well it figures that she would be evil [from loneliness and such]. Bah!!

I read this last night but ff was being evil by not letting me review. So here it is:

I had a feeling from the beginning that Sarutobi was going to be the Grand Mage. And the only other two known puppeteers are Chiyo (as I mentioned in my previous chapter's review) and Sasori from the Akatsuki. I'm left to wonder who the other two dolls are. If Sasuke wasn't a human host then I would have pegged him as one of the two for sure, and it wouldn't matter which because he would fit both: one is a fire user(mentioned by you previously) [I'm guessing that one is the Orange Rose- fittin, ne?] and the other is the black-hearted, revengeful, Orochimaru follower. OH! I'm also left to wonder about Naruto and Sauske's powers [ie. What are the unknown powers they posses? Why are Itachi and Sai at a higher power level than Naruto and Sasuke? Etc.].

Anywho! I totally loved Naruto and his 'fan if fury'. The others deserved it though, by outnumbering Naruto, Sasuke, and Haku, on top of using their powers in the first place. ^_^

AHA! I was right about Haku and Zabuza! Wah! Now I just need to figure out who the last two dolls are... Hm... Wait... we've just about seen everyone! DX
Let's see... we've seen Tsunade and Jiraiya (I'm guessing that they're 'Mother' and 'Father'), and also Orochimaru (the black sage). We've seen Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon (not Ebisu); Iruka, Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Sai (not Yamato); Kiba, Hinata, Shino (not Kurenai), Shikamaru, Ino, Choji (not Asuma); Gai, Tenten, Neji, and Lee; Temari, Gaara, Kankuro (not their sensei whose name I forget- and there really isn't anyone else I actually know of from Suna that play a big enough role for me to actually remember their name... well no one other than Chiyo); there's Tazuna, Inari, and Tsunami; uh... I don't really know of anyone else from the other countries other than the kages ( we've seen Zabuza and Haku) leading me back to Konoha... no other teams really, we've seen Danzo (and Root- which I believe that no one else in Root has a doll); I can't think of anyone else from Konoha...; that leads me to two groups left: the tailed beast hosts and the Akatsuki (I already mentioned Orochimaru) and then there's Kabuto. So unless you use smaller characters (such as Tsunade's brother and lover, any of the dead hokages, any Uchiha (that are dead), any Hyuuga (dead or alive- Hiashi, Hanabi, and then Neji's dad) [or anyone from any of the main character's families for that mater], other Jounin and Chunin such as Mizuki or Hayate, then there really isn't anyone left. Oh, and I didn't forget Shizune, she was already mentioned. So really, whatever comes next is going to be a surprise to me because at this point, it's all up in the air since I can't really guess who you have as the last two dolls and doll hosts from everyone that's left. Heh, I'm probably missing someone too and it would be my luck that that one person would be a doll and then I would smack myself in the forehead for not thinking of the person. Wait! Orochinaru's various henchmen and supporters [spelling bound to be wrong]: Tayuya, Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Kimimaru, Karin, Juugo, and Suigetsu!! DX See, I told you I probably forgot one [well, this is way more than one...]. *Smacks forehead*

NEXT CHAPTER!

Heh, so my first guess about Gaara was right (that Temari would be his host). I still stand by what I think about Haku and Zabuza. I have no clue who the other two dolls would be though. Well... unless the first doll is Kabuto. It would fit but I don't like the idea of him being a doll. But if he's a doll then so be it. :)

I'm trying to figure out who else will be dolls and hosts... I'm thinking that Haku might be a doll with Zabuza as his host... and Gaara also a doll (although I'm not sure who his host could be... Temari maybe? Or perhaps Kankuro? Or maybe he'll have a bad host or something, kind of like Sai, and then when he's saved by Naruto, the same thing that happened to Sakura will happen to Gaara. Maybe? I don't know. Either way, this is really good, quite very addicting.

Hm... I'm wondering, when is Gaara going to come into play? Out of all the stories that I've read lately, none included Gaara so now I miss him.
