i dont expect him to defeat/kill god realm tbh but i think he will at least make pain retreat. then naruto will have to improve some more then i reckon he will pwn pains bodys then have to face the real pain which i suspect is more powerful than the bodys put together or somthing ridiculous.

Why would you expect him to beat GodPein and Nagato, or at least beat them by himself? And why consider it fail if he loses? The mere fact that he's defeated the other bodies, and actually was one step ahead of Pein pretty much over shadows any feats of fail he has done or ever will.

Lmao. Oh spoons.
Though, I'm shocked it hasn't been brought up.
Since we know that Minato (4th Hokage, for those that don't know) seperated the chakra of the kyuubi within Naruto... how easy is it going to be for Pain to remove Kyuubi.
I think this is going to be a huge factor in the coming chapters... and could be a huge set up for Naruto defeating Pein.
As far as Nagato, I think he and Madara will be the final villains. And that will be the team up fight for Sasuke/Naruto.

So many possibilities are out there.
- Team Gai could show up.
- Everyone (random leaf-nins, Hinata, Kiba, etc.) holding back, because they don't want to be a burden, can now jump in since Naruto is currently out of it.
- Cloud messenger team could show up.
- Itachi's power could probably pop up and delay things for a while.
- And of course there's the Ma & Pa's genjutsu & the one sage clone left to summon.

I was thinking that maybe an accident, but the more I think about it maybe this is just a byproduct of controlling the 6 Peins.
FadingCB
02-20-2009, 04:07 PM
The Rinnegan (however you spell it) might also have been too much for him, and he HAD to control other bodies because his was becoming frail. Or it could be that he didn't want to see friends die, had a Sasori episode where he was bringing back friends as puppets like Sasori did his parents, and like said above this is the bi product of either his powers weaking him, or he neglected his body so much to control them it became weak.
Gotta admit....not what I was imagining. I was thinking Naruto would beat those 6 Pein bodies, then eventually have to find the real Pein body and Pein himself be more powerful than any of the other 6 bodies. Looks like he can't fight by himself anymore, with the others having figured out Pein's trick kinda, I'm starting to think Pein/Nagato might not be breathing after this fight.
FadingCB
02-20-2009, 04:11 PM
Also wanted to say I think Nagato is shaping up to be another in the mold of Gaara and Naruto. He almost seems to be Naruto gone wrong in some respects. He's seen tragedy like Naruto is now, he wants peace like Naruto and Jiraya, and he's a 'chosen one' like Naruto, he just went down the wrong path like Gaara (but in a much more extreme way).
I was starting to think it would turn out that Nagato would be Naruto's ultimate enemy, Madra as Sasuke's, then Naruto and Sasuke have one last battle, but not as pure enemies. Seems now that Nagato might not make it to the last arcs of Shippuuden.

02-20-2009, 04:57 PM
Was not expecting dude to look like that. Now I don't see Naruto killing him out of sympathy and because they both have the same goal. We're probably going to see Naruto reaching out to him like he did to Gaara at the end of the Konoha Invasion arc. Who knows ? Nagato might change for the better only to be killed off by Madara. Madara probably already has this thing figured out. With Zetsu at his side. I find it hard to believe that he didn't. He's waiting to make his move when Pein/Nagato is no longer useful to whatever his cause may be. Good **** overall.

...What in the world could make you think that Kakashi was taken?
Naruto can't feel his chakra because the assumption is that he's dead. Not taken. I think there's more involved in "taking" the body than just picking it up, and slinging it over your shoulder.
We know the bodies need to be taken to the tower in Rain. We haven't seen Kakashi move from under the debris since that particular scene.
In order for anything to be done after the body makes it to the tower, Nagato needs to be there, since he's basically the puppet master. It's already been proven that Nagato is pretty much right over Konoha.
So, why, again, do you think Kakashi has been taken?

I'm feeling this series right now
i do hate that so man solid characters have been taken out by just one person
on the plus side, unlike DBZ death actually means something
something i've always wondered is how kids turn into their adult counter parts in this series
i mean the jounin's seem so different from the genins in the early chapters(watch the show) and we're being told that everyone used to be brain dead genins
it's really interesting
apart from Sasuke and Jiraiya, whom pretty much stay the same person (Jman has like 4 seconds stretches of adulthood at a time)
I am finally gonna see on of these characters transform into their jounin minded self
Naruto of all characters.
he was such a character as kid, and in about 3 chapters, he's gonna be his dad.

Oh chill, Corin does that all the time.
But seriously though. I don't by into that taken bull crap until Kishi shows it to me. Kishi has a horrible habit of saying and doing crap... and like 3 volumes later, having in the "wtf" stage b/c you realize he just retconned and haxed out everything you've been reading for the last 6 years.
That's basically been the manga for us that have been reading this manga and watching the anime since it's beginning.

Close minded? No, thx. You should first know that the manga is not ambiguous at all. Japanese language is all about hitting the bushes and not attacking the point directly, while conveying the point precisely. Kishi obviously doesn't want to say "Kakashi's dead" because it's not "polite". He's saying Kakashi is no longer there and not saying that he died, but this doesn't make Kakashi any less of a corpse.
There's no much room for theories with all of what it has been given. Besides, it was time for Kakashi to pass away since Naruto and Sasuke already surpassed him.
So, no. I don't have a closed mind. And no, you don't have an open mind, you are just clinging on hope.
So, STFU
EDIT: BTW, there's a big difference between Fantasy and good writing. No matter how many kids with demons, sorcerers, magical robots, assassin 12 year olds, biomechanic poodles a work of fiction may have, that doesn't excuse the writer from writing poorly. So, don't bring up the "demon fox" argument to the table, kay?

it's posts like this one that will have some ppl looking like idiots if they're wrong...
honestly, why stick your neck out like this when there's a 50/50 chance you could be wrong...perhaps you're prepared to make an apology...
anyways
the way i see it is this, why is it when someone dies it's clear as day, look at Shizune or even Asuma
and most of the akatski.
it's when deaths are ambiguous that ppl tend not to be
ie
Madara
Obito
even Jiraiya
with Shizune, we have ten ppl sitting and dancing around her dead body toasting to how dead she is
with Kakashi it's all about double talk answers when asked if he's dead
it's all about Kishi giving himself a way out when the village is crushed and kakashi's body is protected(just in case he does come back)
it's all about a spirit walk with his dead, but when anyone else dies, their story just ends
it's all about everyone important getting chapter focus before they die (even villains) and Kakashi, maybe the 4th most significant character in the series having a flash death
...
I'm not going to stick my neck out with a belligerent post stating why ppl who don't agree with me are "blah blah"
i'm just going to say due to the why kishi has presented things
that no one can say for sure.

i'm just going to say due to the why kishi has presented things
that no one can say for sure.
if he's not dead then he's not dead, but to claim that someone stole kakashi away when there's no hint in the actual manga, that's something else... stretching it too far.

Close minded? No, thx. You should first know that the manga is not ambiguous at all. Japanese language is all about hitting the bushes and not attacking the point directly, while conveying the point precisely. Kishi obviously doesn't want to say "Kakashi's dead" because it's not "polite". He's saying Kakashi is no longer there and not saying that he died, but this doesn't make Kakashi any less of a corpse.
There's no much room for theories with all of what it has been given. Besides, it was time for Kakashi to pass away since Naruto and Sasuke already surpassed him.
So, no. I don't have a closed mind. And no, you don't have an open mind, you are just clinging on hope.
So, STFU
EDIT: BTW, there's a big difference between Fantasy and good writing. No matter how many kids with demons, sorcerers, magical robots, assassin 12 year olds, biomechanic poodles a work of fiction may have, that doesn't excuse the writer from writing poorly. So, don't bring up the "demon fox" argument to the table, kay?
EDIT2: And I do have imagination. I came up with the theory that a Naruto Bushin was channeling Sage chakra for naruto, disguised as a scroll. I was wrong, but not by much. So there you have it
No, he not saying Kakashi's dead to keep us hooked because hes one of the big main characters. Where not gonna find out what happend to him until this whole Paine thing is over. Its fair to think that there will be another Hokage before Naruto gets the chair and really the only person that deserves it is Kakashi. Kakashi aint over yet. so its not about being polite at all, its about keeping the reader interested.
You cant say i dont have an open mind when im taking what he wrote down in two ways. Im open minded to the fact that he could mean Paine now has him and thats why Naruto couldnt sense his charka. At the same time yeah i could be wrong,it could also mean he was taken from this world. But if i am fair enough i interpreted it wrong. if thats not open minded to the current Kakashi situation then i dont know what is. For you on the other its one way or no way. closed minded. no imagination. this is how it happend. no if not buts. nothing. closed minded
Its like me saying dont be stupid Naruto dosent have a Bushin on his back its a scroll and only a scroll. Theres small thoerys that are very logical and then theres theorys like mine that may not be all that logical but its an idea. So you cant really dismiss anything.
How exactly can you be so sure on what kishi says if at the same time hes writing poorley? how does that work. if his writing is THAT poor then surely you could be wrong and he COULD mean it the same way im saying.
And dont tell what i cant bring to the table. Its his world ANYTHING can happen. yeah may be bad writing, hell the Naruto fillers where bad writing but guess what chum? they still happened.

I am open to possibilities, but I think that just that certain idea of Kakashi actually being literary stolen away, stupid. But Kakashi could still be alive for whatever reason, but I believe he's not. Either way, you need to learn what open and closed minded implies, because you don't. I won't discuss that further.
About poor writing, he's not that bad to the point where anything can happen without a good reason. He tries not to ******** his way. Stealing Kakashi body away out of the blue with no information or foreshadowing is trying to ******** your way as a writer. That's bad writing.
Naruto fillers where not his creation, the same way Dragonball GT was not Toriyama's work.
And really, you kinda need to grow up and learn more since you still don't know how to establish and develop your thoughts and opinions :huh:

....with Shizune, we have ten ppl sitting and dancing around her dead body toasting to how dead she is
with Kakashi it's all about double talk answers when asked if he's dead...
I agree with your post, but this part made me chuckle a bit thinking of something else that goes along with what you're saying.
We have a clear death with Shizune, see her soul sucked out, and have Konoha's top experts on the method clearly say She's dead, and yet it's still heavily debated on the net. Shizune (even tho I liked her) is not a main character, she's a support, and yet ppl refuse to consider that she's dead.
Then you have an ambiguous death of a main character, with double talk, misdirections, and no clear image of the death shot, and an image of one of the slugs on his body that Tsunade sent out to protect ppl (why would the slug protect a dead body?). Yet it's a closed case with a lot of ppl, it's just accepted that Kakashi died. Personally, I highly doubt Kakashi went down with a whisper.

I think its fake! I dont beleive Hinanta will die
I'm mixed on it as well for the simple fact that the panel depicting it was hell to understand what was going on. There was a line curved in, some rubble, and a ton of black gunk. Then Naruto gets ticked. Is that Pein stabbing Hinata's ribs? Her neck? Is that even a blade? Everything before and after was easy to understand.
So not having seen a clear shot of what happened, I'm going to put her on the same list as Kakashi. It would be unpredictable if Hinata died, as she is to Naruto what Chi-chi was to Goku in a sense. However they've set up a Sakura and Naruto romance all of Shippuuden, and that's what Naruto really wants. So if they set those two up, Hinata's main love interest role is gone, and that's all she's been for awhile. So as much as I hate to say it, she is kinda cannon fodder now despite her role in the original Naruto (just like Kiba, atleast Tenten has a role as Neji's girl). So it's possible, but I'll wait.

6 tails released = skeleton/bone structure take form/shape.
7-8 tails released = muscles vessels and whatnot form over the skeleton structure. Pretty much looking like a fox that has been skinned.
9 tails released = All hell breaks loose. As it now looks like the foxy beast we've seen locked up in Naruto & in flashbacks scene when it ran wild on Konoha.

I'm wondering what he'll do too. He still has one clone left I think, so maybe put his all in one last strike in sage mode? The end of this manga did say the fight comes to a head next week.
The more and more it carries on tho the more I realize Naruto will probably never get that same connection that Killer B had with his tailed beast. The Fox seems willing to had over power in self interest up to a point, but Naruto can't control the higher levels.
BTW, I'm probably slow, but he said half the Fox's power right? Did I miss the part explaining where the other half went?

Unrelated to the above topic, but wondering if there will be another time skip. On one hand, while there is still plenty of story and loose ends left, Naruto is heading towards the goal. After Pein's dealt with, there's Madra, Kisame, and that plant guy, after Madra probably one last show down with Sasuke and his crew.
However, this current arc has the feeling of an end to one thing and the beginning of another. Like it would be a perfect place to start a new chapter with the rebuilding of Konoha. They could always leave that for the end of the manga of course (i.e. skip ahead 5 years in the last few pages, showing a hokage Naruto in a rebuilt Konoha), but I doubt Naruto would set off for Akatsuki while ppl are lying half dead and the Konoha in rubble.
Then of course there's still Danzo's role in things. Will he try and take over Konoha in the chaos, if he does will Naruto be imprisoned? This manga really is at an unpredictable point atm IMO.

Yep, he still has one clone left to summon. But I think Nagato will just die out or retreat only to be kill by Madara. The guy wasn't looking too good the last time we saw him. Blood coming out the mouth and whatnot.

I only remember the key part from that chapter. Completely forgot about the ying & yang stuff. Maybe he sealed the other half in Naruto's mother. I mean her status is still unknown. And she's the only person I see that would willing subject themselves to such a technique. She gets the other half sealed in her and bails Naruto just to avoid the possibility of the 2 halves merging. Unless Sasuke's dad or a young Itachi secretly came forth and offered up Sasuke. :huh:

I was thinking about the other half of the Fox, maybe that's what that reaper technique took when the 4th died. It was said that the technique the 3rd used on Orochimaru was the same as the 4th used on the Fox. The reaper thing took Orochimaru's arm (would have taken more if it could), maybe the reaper took half the Fox and the 4th stopped it after that so he could seal the rest in Naruto before he died.

I actually ragged on Naruto pretty good, but I kind of like it now. Of all the writers out there, it was Stephen King's books that got me into Naruto. 3 in his dark fantasy series The Dark Tower had excessive flashbacks/sit-down-and-chat moments and after reading those I decided to give Naruto another go.
Are there any omnibus-type collections that collect multiple volumes of the graphic novels?

I'm sensing a connection inbetween Madra and Danzo. So maybe Naruto vs. Madra, and Sasuke vs. Danzo or something. Then again, if Madra's as powerful as we think, it might take Naruto and Sasuke, and some luck, to take him down lol.
I do wonder why they've had Guy's team play the part it has tho. They made sure to show that his team showed up late. They also made time to show that his team knew, and was headed towards Naruto's fight. I'm wondering if Naruto takes down God realm Pein, and before he passes out he tells the just arriving Guy's team where Pein's real body is. I mean the paper girls there, and we don't know what the real Pein can do, so them vs. Team Guy maybe?
I also thought it was clever how Naruto figured out where Pein's real body was. Kinda shows the growth of the character. The old Naruto wouldn't have thought to do that.

It depends how it plays out. Konan and an half dead Nagato could retreat. Then Madara kills Nagato off, causing Konan to defect to the only threat to Madara.
Nagato dies out. Konan retreats back to Madara, who simply doesn't give a ****. Thus pissing Konan off, who then flees back to Konoha.

except 4 the fact that a few of his students turned bad, jiraiya must be the best teacher in the whole freakin naruto universe. i mean, between the 4th, pain and naruto, he's trained some pretty powerful people.

Well, he's done it. Destroyed all 6 bodies. Going into the whole invasion thing. I thought he'd take out 2 or 3 before Pein retreats. Nothing left to do now but to talk with Nagato. It should be an interesting conversation. I'm expecting a dead Nagato immediately afterward.

Well yeah. I was thinking along the line that Nagato simply dies out after using all he had in the fight or that Madara swoops in and kills his ass. :o

There's still a slight chance that puppet Pein did some **** to Kakashi. Remember the panel showing his head opening up (http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/425/04/). I'd hate to think that Kakashi is Nagato's trump card.

I mean, the only really bad guy that he turned good so far was garra, and than the sand just sorta followed suit when they turned good. (just like the followed suit when they attacked kanoha.) and most of the badguys just get killed off. and more good guys have gone bad too. like sasuke, orochimaru, heck, even pain started out as more of a good guy.

Just read the newest manga, kinda conflicted. One part of me is overjoyed that not only is Kakashi alive, but Shizune as well. While another part of me is like Wow, so not only is Naruto wearing orange, has a pervy sage as a teacher, but he just summoned the dragon and wished everyone back to life! Ok, maybe that last bit was a little harsh, it just made all of those sad moments several mangas ago cheapened (IMO). Still a good issue tho, and good to see the story is about to go into a different gear.

As for all long going animes converting enemies to friends, I'd agree with most of that list, but I wouldn't put One Piece in it personally. All of Luffy's nakanama were essentially good guys in sad or difficult circumstances. Franky and Robin are the only ones who would remotely come close to 'bad guys' at first, but Franky was more like a rival, and Robin actually had good intentions.

Not bad Naruto, not bad.
- Not even the hokage and he has already formed alliances with two villages (Sand & Rain). His resume is looking bad ass now.
The elders going over Naruto's resume: :wow:
The elders going over Danzou's resume: :sleepy:
Danzou: :angry:
- It would've been nice if Yahiko was revived. Konan needs a companion. :o
- It should be interesting to see what Naruto will do to Danzou's punk ass. I say kill him!
- The cloud team will either reach Konoha first before Sasuke's group. Or they will run into Sasuke's group and the two groups battle it out before reaching Konoha.
- As for Madara's reaction to all this. I think he will have rain village destroyed by the time Konan returns. Basically a big "right back at you, *****" to Nagato & Konan. Konan then joins Konoha.

I am happy that kakashi isn't dead, although it would have made for more drama for him to die. I do wonder, though, was the convo about kakashi being a consideration for hokage, should something happen to tsunade, forshadowing. I can't see them giving it to naruto just yet. Plus, there's going to be conflict with Danzou with in the next arc or two. Could this be the time for Kakashi to take over?

I was the same at first too. Now that we've seen Nagato in his full 'glory', I'm not sure he'd stand a chance sadly. At first I thought Nagato was some uber badass, hell, I thought he'd be the ultimate villain for a long time. I mean he did destroy Konoha. His 6 bodies were good fighters, they did take down Jiraiya, Kakashi, Shizune, and a lot of others. It's just that once Naruto found out where he was the fight was over. I'd imagine Neiji or a Sharingan user could find him easy enough. Madra would probably see thru his technique, run right towards him, and have Nagato in a brain freeze before he could react.
On the other hand for a non Sharingan user Pein was a great test for Naruto to put him on that next level since Naruto had to go thru all the bodies first. I just think Nagato would have been better served if he was still physically fit himself.
Marvin
05-30-2009, 08:47 PM
I'm so proud of naruto
once again he did what no one else could, and he did it in his own way
apart from sacrificing his own life I'd say this was a bigger save then even the 4th pulled off
Konoha was crushed and half it's people dead
and naruto not only faced the still angry and formidable opponent, he actually convinced him to bring back the people he killed by his own hand?
no one else could have done that(maybe jiraiya)
hokage material
and no this was dbz garbage level death means nothing plot devising, there was no wishing back or "it's ok we can wish them back with halos on their heads"
it was all situational and naruto diffused the situation.
and just like garra, life costs life.
Kishi is really something
if naruto just spanked nagato, then i'm sure the rain village would avenge their leader at some point down the road..
all nagato did to the leaf was deliver "justice" and naruto was about to do the same
it's because he didn't that he scored the ultimate win.
I'm sorry I doubt anyone apart from naruto and maybe his dad, can handle pain at full strength.
even if you find out where his main body is(the one that's probably not as worthless as it appeared to be when naruto found it) the other bodies aren't gonna just take a lunch break while you make your way over there
plus you can't really put them down because their formation keeps the important reviver in the back and the energy eater in the front...and the village crusher in the middle...
(and the giant animal summoner somewhere in there too)
man i'm so pleased with this series these days
naruto knows who his dad is!
danzo is gonna have to unwrap that madara hair and eye and kill tsunade soon
killer bee is gonna have to have a chat with naruto about tailed beasts
and susake is gonna have to be put in his place

We'll just have to disagree on that. Anytime a character dies a sad, tragic, or meaningless death, or hell, just dies in an anime and then revives...it just cheapens it for me. Imagine if instead of Wolfwood dying he lived in Trigun. It's not that I wanted Kakashi or Shizune to die, but after seeing the way Shizune went out, it got me to think more about the character, just seemed like a waste of life which made it all the more tragic. Then *BAM* she's on her feet at the end of the fight...meh.
It might not have went down like it did in DBZ, nor as often as it did in DBZ, but slowly death in Naruto is meaning less to me than it did at the start. Because of half of Konoha and Gaara's "death" and then being brought back to life, I don't think death in Naruto from this point forward will impact me the way the 3rd's did.

Honestly, I'd rather see Naruto end up with Sakura at this point. In Naruto, no, IMO she was too *****y, and too blinded by Sasuke. Now, I think Naruto and Sakura have formed a deep bond and kinda deserve eachother for all they've went thru. There have even been hints that Sakura is finally coming around, plus Naruto's always like Sakura. For Sakura to just get brushed aside, and then eventually go back to Sasuke would be such a waste and be a huge setback for her character.
Hinata on the other hand just got the guts to tell her biggest secret to the person she was the most afraid of hearing it. It's time for her to prove she's not just the girl who blushes and likes Naruto, and become a much more developed character.

We'll just have to disagree on that. Anytime a character dies a sad, tragic, or meaningless death, or hell, just dies in an anime and then revives...it just cheapens it for me. Imagine if instead of Wolfwood dying he lived in Trigun. It's not that I wanted Kakashi or Shizune to die, but after seeing the way Shizune went out, it got me to think more about the character, just seemed like a waste of life which made it all the more tragic. Then *BAM* she's on her feet at the end of the fight...meh.
It might not have went down like it did in DBZ, nor as often as it did in DBZ, but slowly death in Naruto is meaning less to me than it did at the start. Because of half of Konoha and Gaara's "death" and then being brought back to life, I don't think death in Naruto from this point forward will impact me the way the 3rd's did.
what about jaraiyas death? that was harder 4 me than the 3rds? (and i was sad to see asuma go too.)

They both happened before recent events. I just cited Gaara's death since it was the first death that ended up with someone being revived We've now seen two sets of instances of techniques bringing ppl back to life. I mean if Sasuke were to die next saga, I probably wouldn't take it serious and expect someone to revive him rather than seriously think about the death of an important character.
Jiraiya and Asuma's deaths were well done ones, and ones that are what should have happened to Konoha. Asuma's death pushed Shikamaru to be more, same with Jiraiya's death to Naruto. With Konoha they just lost material possesions, and will probably be bitter towards Nagato rather than saddened and seeing the useless of fighting.
It's not a huge gripe, and I'll still read and enjoy the manga, it just took the potency out of death in the Naruto world to me, if no one else.

Don't forget Itachi. All tragically memorable even though he was a "villain".

we will have to disagree
for one, the true "cheapen" would be if the layered and vital characters died deaths in such a way that those K-man and S-lady died. And to do so alongside hundreds of faceless other characters
(man what if the 3rd and Jiraiya were in the village too and they crushed, would that not feel a little cheaper then the deaths they actually got?)
the 3 previous deaths of vital characters in the series have been some of the most moving moments in manga lure, and you would honestly have Kakashi,
instead of have a chapter to flesh out his death like asuma, and resolve many of his inner conflicts like J-man with a boat load of closure...
just go out the way he did?
that would be "cheap"
with garra and kakashi, and Shizune, the deaths weren't "death" they were just situations of a fight
not so much different from when someone flatlines and David Hasselhof preforms CPR
in the world of ninjas that can stop your heart with a look, old lady bringing Garra back was much more like miracle CPR (with a price) to a character that was flatlined then ok let's bring back Captain America because sales are lacking 5years after we killed him, or "goku's not dead yet, we can't bring him back with earth balls AGAIN, so lets go use the balls of another planet"
if they brought the 3rd back now it would cheapen everything that came before
but even Nagato said it
"I still have time to SAVE everyone I killed when i got here"
not so much like when he revives his own bodies
implying that death really works like someone sinking in an ocean, if you get to them fast enough and you have the rare jutsu, you can sacrifice you life and save them
if this was Dragonball, they'd be wishing Asuma back as we speak
or even the 4th
in conclusion
1 - The deaths Kakashi and Shizune had would truly be cheap if left unchecked
when it comes to not feeling "robbed" of your money as a reader, one can only ask that characters they've grown to love experience deaths that have a good sense of closure
and to this day that's one thing Kishi has been doing better then anyone(especially in the anime when that sadness and sorrow track starts playing)
that's why i was one of the many advocating that Kman wasn't "dead"
2 - kishi isn't DC and marvel, who do clean ups to their universes' "worthless characters" on a mass scale and call it "crisis this or secret war that"
what happened to everyone in that village in hindsight was analogous to the god of death sweeping through taking everyone and ten minutes later facing the rhetoric of a the boy who can change people...
so he undid his work
moreover a good chapter should never have more then 2 main characters dying, that would be..."cheap"

I'm so proud of naruto
once again he did what no one else could, and he did it in his own way
apart from sacrificing his own life I'd say this was a bigger save then even the 4th pulled off
Konoha was crushed and half it's people dead
and naruto not only faced the still angry and formidable opponent, he actually convinced him to bring back the people he killed by his own hand?
no one else could have done that(maybe jiraiya)
hokage material
and no this was dbz garbage level death means nothing plot devising, there was no wishing back or "it's ok we can wish them back with halos on their heads"
it was all situational and naruto diffused the situation.
and just like garra, life costs life.
Kishi is really something
if naruto just spanked nagato, then i'm sure the rain village would avenge their leader at some point down the road..
all nagato did to the leaf was deliver "justice" and naruto was about to do the same
it's because he didn't that he scored the ultimate win.
I'm sorry I doubt anyone apart from naruto and maybe his dad, can handle pain at full strength.
even if you find out where his main body is(the one that's probably not as worthless as it appeared to be when naruto found it) the other bodies aren't gonna just take a lunch break while you make your way over there
plus you can't really put them down because their formation keeps the important reviver in the back and the energy eater in the front...and the village crusher in the middle...
(and the giant animal summoner somewhere in there too)
man i'm so pleased with this series these days
naruto knows who his dad is!
danzo is gonna have to unwrap that madara hair and eye and kill tsunade soon
killer bee is gonna have to have a chat with naruto about tailed beasts
and susake is gonna have to be put in his place
...oh and naruto has a girlfriend!
I'm sorry what? Can you post that page for me please

Did you miss the issue where he met the 4th hokage in his mind when the ninetails was going to be realesed?

Just read this weeks manga, both Shippuuden and Bleach felt short this week. Looks like the spoilers you feared were right. The first half of this week's manga was awesome, the second half not so much. I think everyone here guessed Danzou would try to pull a power grab and become Hokage...I just didn't think Konoha was so easily swayed. I mean that dialogue...
"I say Kakashi"
"Kakashi? Yeah, he's awesome, trained by the 3rd, he's powerful, he trained the guy who just saved all our asses!!! Woot Kakashi!!!!".
"Danzou - I should be the leader. I'll enforce laws. Vote Danzou despite me having done nothing worthy of notice, let along Hokage worthy. Make me Hokage despite the current Hokage being alive, and me setting out the fight that destroyed our home!".
"Konoha - Ok, Danzou's Hokage!"
I mean WTF....I expected a coup d'etat, Danzou's secret ninja's going wild, cats and dogs having sex, Orochimaru not showing interest in young boys, ya know, chaos. Not a weak speech.

With the above rant out of the way tho, this is leading to something interesting. Danzou's Hokage and Sasuke is going to Konoha soon to try and get some 'revenge' for his brother. He's going to get there and find the guy who (I'm pretty sure) ordered all of the stuff with the Uchiha's to happen in the first place in power.
I'll be pissed tho if Sasuke gets there and Naruto's weakened still so he gets another easy win over Naruto. Or if he beats Naruto flat out at full strength. After all naruto's been thru, and all the training, and Sasuke just being handed skills by Itachi...I'd like to see Naruto totally outclass Sasuke and Sasuke having to run away with his tails inbetween his legs admitting Naruto was the better man that day.

As for the new chapter ......
- The cloud team were pretty funny.
- If the ****in' high council or whoever the **** they were knew where Danzou was during the whole the ordeal. They'd take Kakashi. Such ******** I tells ya'! Everyone put their lives on the line while this dude hid like a *****. And he gets awarded the 6th hokage position! :cmad:
- I'm glad Sasuke is coming. Since Danzou is hokage now. He'll be easy to find & kill off since everyone will expect him to be on the front line. He can't hide in the shadows like he did when Pein came to town. He'll lose all credibility & what little respect he has from everyone that isn't ROOT.
- If his first orders has anything to do with Naruto in a negative way. He's (Danzou) ****ed. The village will most likely split than follow any ****ed up orders that would harm Naruto.

My guess is still a pretty old one, Danzou's linked with Madra (brother, shadow clone, who knows). He convinces everyone to put Naruto under guard. He gives the, "Naruto is too powerful, and important to Konoha to risk. We can't let Akatsuki have the savior of our village who also happens to hold the 9-tails." speech.
Without Tsunade to aruge it the council easily agrees. Weakened Naruto is locked up under house arrest. Meanwhile Sasuke arrives, and Danzou secretly gives him the keys to the city so to speak. Sasuke runs amock. Eventually Naruto finds out and Kakashi busts him out. Meanwhile Sakura talks to Sasuke and at some point Naruto shows up.
Or something like that lol. Realized I was rambling on too much so had to cut it short :). BTW, I wonder if Naruto will go back to the frog place so he can leave more clones under that oil? As of right now he shouldn't have any xtras to help summon his sage chakra in a fight.

considering madara and danzou are one in the same...
plotting always has them in one place or another, moreover the guy can teleport like nightcrawler
same hair
same eye(alternative one is hidden depending on disguise)
dara pretty much gave it away this issue when he said he had something important to deal with
as for his danzou's involvement in the uchina fiasco(they deserved it)
considering he's madara, it makes thing awfully interesting
why does everyone think sasuke intends to harm the elders?
anyways
I remember when Kakashi was facing two pains and he commented on how impressive it was that Jiraiya Sama took on six bodies
well...naruto made it home in time for dinner
