Danzou told them to put more people in finding Kabuto before Anko did as Kabuto might know about Danzou’s relationship with Orochimaru. Danzou knew Kabuto had data on Orochimaru’s experiments and he wanted to get his hands on them for it would be useful for his right eye and arm.

Just checked out Team Taka members in anime version on internet and did a combination of Team Taka with Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi.

Nevermind the heights which are inaccurate in proportion. I know Naruto is shorter than Kakashi by at least half a head. I'm too lazy to amend the heights.

Naruto Manga errors:

I've been re-reading Naruto manga 46 and like Issue 449's last panel where the supposedly lost sword during Team Taka's fight against Kirabi in Cloud Village was reflected in the panel, I notice that there's another flaw in Issue 428.

The time appearance of Konohamaru and Naruto is entirely wrong! 13 year old Naruto teaching Genin Konohamaru rasengan!

Bear in mind Naruto is 2 years older than Konohamaru and Konohamaru attains Genin rank at age of 13! The editor must have forgotten to point this out to the manga creator that time.

Dragon Ball Kai #01:

Curious for the new Dragon Ball anime serial. Since I'm completely new to the story, I suppose it doesn't hurt to watch. It begins with the sending of Goku of Planet Vegeta to Earth while his fellow people fought their lives against their enemy. The leader hoped his son - Karkaroto (later renamed Goku) happiness as he died. On Earth, Goku grew up well and subsequently went with Bulma to collect the 7 dragon balls. He also made more friends along the way, as well as his life after his marriage with Chichi. Other place, a farmer found a fallen spaceship where a man came out of it and he flew off looking for a worthy opponent for fights. He came to Goku and recognised him as Kakarrot - the son of a man he knew. Goku was shocked to see the man having the same tail as him.

COMMENT:

The drawings and effects of the anime retains the same, somehow like in the 19th century. In the first few minutes, it's like a summary of Goku's life in a nutshell. Sun Goku's lifetime reminds me of Superman. Urgh, please not let Naruto manga to go the same way. I don't think I can stand seeing Naruto and Hinata's loving life after their marriage (if it subsequently goes the way). I also don't think I can stand seeing Naruto running around chasing after his kids. Still don't get it why this anime/manga is so popular whereby people fight for the sake of fighting powerful opponents. At least Aizen (Bleach) and Nagato (Naruto) fight for good reasons.
