Picking up the pieces of the lively whirlpool

Yes. Finally, after over a year of not watching Shippuden episodes, I've picked it up again. Actually, I'm watching it for the sake of watching the Hidan-Kakuzu arc in animation. I'm watching episodes 81-88. Heheh.

Why am I watching this part? Well, for one, there's Ino and Shikamaru. That is my only reason, actually. LOL. Yes, I know, it's super shallow...
