I kinda miss those halcyon days when they could be more carefree. But those girls sure were irritating harpies. Shikamaru reminds me of Sanzo from Saiyuki when he's screaming at them to can it.
@gilesrico: As far as I recall, he was confined in the hospital because he received a great damage after his fight with Gaara during the First Round. I can't believe I can still remember that.
Hmm, can we go back to seeing "Barely-there Nagato"? Who's flashback is this anyways? I just don't see why they plopped this into the middle of the Pain series. Right when we get to hear his reason for trying to destroy the world. Big stuff
