It looks like it and at the same time I believe so too now, yes :) As for Minerva I was right about your choice as well ;) Now I can certainly imagine Minerva makes your blood boil as well as even disgusts and makes u sick, yes?
This woman... she's one of those generic baddies from Naruto filler episodes, but she and her comrades used particularly despicable methods to achieve their goals...
They lured Gaara into a trap by kidnapping his student (Matsuri); if that hadn't worked on its own, there plan was to take away everyone he cared about until he chased after them. When he did come to try and rescue Matsuri, they captured him and attempted to extract the one-tail, Shukaku, from inside him, which by the way was a very VERY painful and torturous process. If they had succeeded, he would have died as well.
