And he might do that too. But with Konoha, he sort of had to do that. But when you consider the war, Neji has died, Itachi has returned to death, B died offscreen (unless there's something else going on there), and now Guy is dying. Obito, the only one who can rescue them, is knocking on death's door. Jiraiya died and stayed dead.

Either way, I think Kishi has been doing really good these past few months. I enjoy Naruto way more than the other manga going on right now, and I find comfort knowing that, if Guy does die, he'll do so utterly dominating Madara (I mean, do you see that look of "Oh, shit!" on Madara's face when Guy attacked this chapter? It was priceless) and he'll die a warrior's death.

Because yeah. I'm sappy like that.
