<p>Definitely wasn't expecting this arc to be so Shikadai-heavy. I'm hoping a little bit of exposition is in order for the Ice Style user; it'd be nice to have a clan to potentially tie Haku back to, even if he's technically been dead for almost 20 years.

<p>You have it backwards. People don't have kekkei genkai because they have two affinities they can merge. They have two affinities they can merge because they have that specific kind of kekkei genkai. </p>

<p>How is it that this was established back with Haku, confirmed again with Yamato, but people still don't get how Bloodlines work?
</p><p>Ninja clans have hidden techniques, which is why you'll basically never see anyone who isn't a Nara using Shadow Sewing, or a non-Akimichi use Multisize, because the clans guard those techniques as literal military secrets. Bloodlines are abilities that are much the same, restricted to a clan, but also have the weakness that its a genetic element. So by kidnapping a Bloodline user, or even just removing the organ responsible (Kakashi/Ao), one can make use of this for themselves.
</p><p>So while not all users of a bloodline are from the same clan, you can basically guarantee they share an ancestor somewhere up the line.

Kinda hoped for a fight between Sarada and the Ice user. Would've been fun to see how she would ''melt'' her way out of that.

<p>What I didn't get was why they said it came from the Land of Snow.
</p><p>Did they just go 'eh, Yuki clan, Yuki country, same difference'?

<p>Interesting episode.
</p><p>I thought Haku was the last of his clan,but maybe I don't remember correctly?
</p><p>Also , is Temari a housewife now? I mean..that's good for girls like Sakura but Temari... :/

<p>It’s actually not the same in my opinion. When Sakura did it it was very annoying. Because she would get pissed at Naruto while kissing up to Sasuke. Also Temari married Shikamaru and gave birth to Shikadai. So she kind has the right to do that. Sakura yelled and tortured Naruto without having any romantic feelings for him. That’s why it wasn’t cool when Sakura did it. </p>

Most friends do occasionally hit each other without any motive for a long lasting injury. Plus, The only times she hit him was when he implies something dirty or annoying. That's reasonable. She had already saved his life, many times.

<p>Well to be honest, the whole show is about violence. Adults almost killing kids, kids almost killing their teachers. How is it that this type of violence is the only thing that people give attention to? Especially since it doesn't play out any value to the story, it's just a comic relief. Not anything I find to be funny but maybe for some other audience, and it still eases out the whole seriousness of the show. </p><p>But these are just my own opinions. </p>

<p>Nah. I gave up on that whole thing ages ago. Japanese quirks or whatever, like some of their toilet humor and fondness of perverted old men. I try not to think about it. </p>

<p>Byakugan is a part of Uzumaki clan now , Sharingan is no more purely Uchiha, like 50 years later we might see an Uchiha wielding a byakugan or a nara got high chakra reserves if the new generation kids marry among themselves lol.
