[Colossal Spoons]

Kisame vs Hachibi

It's like my dream fight :D

[Mistress Gluon]

I'm pissed freaking Guy and Lee are getting no freaking time whatsoever at ALL.

It's really getting to me.

The author better freaking make them amazing, and that's why they're not getting used. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

**** that! We get to see what an all out Kisame is made off.

I predict ...

that the master, that's training Bee, will jump in and give Bee time to retreat after getting his ass handed to him by Kisame. No way Kisame or Bee die. Bee can die after he meets and teaches Naruto a few tricks.

What would you have him teach Naruto? How to use the Kyuubi chakra w/o losing control? That'd be interesting, but Kyuubi just seems a lot angrier than Hachibi.

I need to see more of Team Gai on a whole. Especially my beloved Neji!

[Mistress Gluon]

Yeah, Hachibi seems to be cooperative, where Kyuubi just wants to annihilate, and use.

[Colossal Spoons]

I miss Gaara having his angry racoon too :(

[Mistress Gluon]

I need to see more of Team Gai on a whole. Especially my beloved Neji!


Well, it's because Itatchi kept having to warn people Guy was actually a very tough opponent. And given the idea we haven't seen anything out of Lee, but we know he's training his rearside off, I wanna see them again.

[Colossal Spoons]

Expect Lee to have found like 5 or 6 more chakra gates to open :D

[Mistress Gluon]

lol He went up to five, he only has three more. XD

But yeah, I wanna see him kicking rearside. Neji, too. Temari, don't care. But I wanna see Guy's squad back in action.

[FadingCB]

I agree with you guys that Killer Bee is not going to win solo over Kisame, but Killer Bee isn't going down either. I'm guessing either the good guys run interference and they tag take down Kisame, or Sasukes group take down Kisami due to venting frustration and Kisame not going along with it.

Reason I think that is A) Killer Bee still has role to play, why fail at kidnapping him just to succeed the next arc. B) Sasuke's fish friend lost his sword last fight when it was cut in half. He's already shown interest in Kisame's weapon. Unless he picks it up from Kisame's corpse at a later date, he's prob taking it by force.

A rescue Killer Bee arc isn't out of the question, but they already did that with Gaara. Plus they're doing a changing of the guard deal with the old Akatsuki members dying off, and Sasuke's group taking over under Madara.

I remember reading some preview thing that said where gonna get new members of Akatsuki...unless that was sasuke and his crew (i hope not)
there was also mention of sombody defecting to Konoha...i thought it was probably konan ( the girl with pain?) but it may be Kisame? he did travel with Itachi alot.

[uchiha_itachi]

Wow didnt see that comming for a while..........lets hope Naruto accepts it and gets his girl!! feel bad for hinita though...

[Mistress Gluon]

Bah, I sorta saw it all coming. Felt sorta like a waste of two weeks. =/

[mfbtl]

We know Sakura is playing him.

[YoungE808]

^ Yup.

[uchiha_itachi]

I duno, im half and half about that. it would be extreamly cold for her to do that i think because if she's playing that card she obviously knows how Naruto feels about her. Im hoping shes actually being truthful cos that would be serious character development if true..and they would get a really interesting dynamic because their relationship evolved.

[Diamanthus]

Nah, we know Sakura is just playing him in attempts to stop him from getting hurt since she feels rather guilty for all the harm Naruto has gone through to keep the promise of brining Sasuke back. And Naruto is seeing right through it.

She's playing him. Don't understand the need to play this "I love you, not Sasuke" card though. If it's her way of getting Naruto to agree with what they've agreed to back home. It's just ****in' stupid.

Sakura: Hey Naruto, I love you. I've forgotten about Sasuke and so should you.
Naruto: Okay.
Sakura: Now that that's out of the way. How about we go kill Sasuke ?
Everyone else: Yeah!!!!
Naruto: Yea... say what now ?

Just tell the little ****er that you've all decided to kill the traitor to prevent war with Cloud. If he plans on being Hokage one day. Then his ass should understand and he shouldn't be throwing a fit. It's not gonna matter since Cloud knows that Hachibi is alive and well.

[Poetic Chaos]

So what was the last revelation that made Sakura "confess" ? She's obviously trying to protect him but is it from something specific? I don't remember what happened to her last that would make her do this.

[mfbtl]

She obviously doesn't want to lose Naruto. She has already lost Sasuke and even though she doesn't feel as strongly about Naruto now as she did Sasuke back then I can see why she's doing this. She has to know that this will make Naruto hate her at least for the short run.

[Colossal Spoons]

lol He went up to five, he only has three more. XD

You mean Tenten? Temari's awesome, and I bet you like her lol. I know I do :o

If Suigetsu takes the Samehada and Kisame dies, I might rage. :argh:

Yeah, her speech sounded rehearsed as hell too.

[Mistress Gluon]

I meant Tenten.

[Diamanthus]

She has to know that this will make Naruto hate her at least for the short run.

I think he won't since he knows she's playing him and probably see that she's just worry about his safety. :o But maybe I'm just giving Naruto too much credit that he'll see through all of it and understand what she's trying to do.

[FadingCB]

That, "I hate people who lie to themselves!", line has me worried. It's going to be ANOTHER huge leap back for what's left of Sakura's character growth if Naruto tells her she's still in love with Sasuke and lying to herself. Sasuke tried to kill Naruto twice, left her to join the guy who tormented her team and killed the third, is willing to kill innocents in his quest for revenge, and is partly responsible for starting a new war. To top it all off, her "love" for Sasuke was only a superficial childhood crush on the cute guy who could care less if she existed.

I don't know, I might be alone on this, but always thought Naruto and Sakura were the better fit. It just seems like a shame to toss all of the growth and chemistry those two had in Shippuuden. Even sadder to think Naruto as a series is back to square one with Sakura having a crush on Sasuke, and Naruto settling for, "Well I love Sakura, but that jerk Sasuke is so cool, I'll let him have her".

[YoungE808]

I'm not much for romance angles but if any girl deserves Naruto, it's Hinata.

I mean the girl stood up to the biggest threat to Konoha since the Kyuubi and admitted her love with a smile on her face. Did Sakura? Don't think so.

[FadingCB]

Well recently. I'm not a big fan of the romance angles either, I only dislike it if I think it hurts the story. From the very beginning Sakura was Naruto's first goal. I'd like to think a part of the reason he fought so hard against Sasuke was to impress her. Sasuke however has become unredeemable almost, and Sakura still chases after him like a kid. Meanwhile Naruto still can't stop thinking about Sakura. I just think it stunts both of their growth that neither can move past the rut they were in at the beginning of the manga. All thru Shippuuden they had eachothers backs.

Meanwhile Hinata just fainted when about to talk to him. She didn't do anything to make their romance grow, and she wasn't even on Naruto's radar. For her to get him for one move, when Sakura did something similar earlier on by going towards 4 tailed Naruto and risking death, it just feels forced to me personally.

In all honesty it's not a huge deal. It's just that I was finally liking Sakura and she's done everything wrong after Sasori.

[Danno]

Naruto <3

[uchiha_itachi]

i think naurto should be with the one he loves. sakura. simple as. sorry hinita

[ironwez20]

dude seriously i think sakura is going to be killed off it just seems like sasuke will kill her.

[scatterax]

dude seriously i think sakura is going to be killed off it just seems like sasuke will kill her.

nah, it'll just look like sasuke kills her. than a couple issues later she'll be fine. kinda like hinata and kakashi

[Magma_15]

I thought it was clear thar sakura was only pretending to like naruto so she could convince him that he didnt need to keep the promise he made to her anymore?

[MoPlaYa43]

I think Naruto should be with the girl who has loved him from the start. Hinata and Naruto are perfect for each other

[Sloth7d]

Told you guys the only advantage Kisame would have is his ability to eat chakra. Kisame's a water type, vulnerable to raiton, and he's a brawler, which isn't good when you're going up against one of the 5 largest chakra sources in the series.

Also, I wonder what Sai is planning.

[mfbtl]

i thought it was lightning>earth and earth>water and wind>lightning and so on.

[Sloth7d]

Lightning is still> Water regardless of that flawed affinity cycle; I mean how can Kishi undo the fact that water conducts electricity without looking silly? Suigetsu even demonstrates this twice.

[mfbtl]

k I was just going by his rules.

[Magma_15]

I think that sakura will find sasuke, and naruto will be right behind, and wlk in on sakura giving a speech about how sasuke owes it to her to explain why he is the way he is and why hes made the decisions hes made and he'll probably blow her off but she'll insist and get mad and thats when naruto will show up and i know it goes against todays sasuke but i really think that he will tlk to them alone, and at the end of the convo they will realize that theres no saving him and they owe to the sasuke they knew to stop him, doubt naruto will kill him.

[MoPlaYa43]

Anyone know a site where i can watch Naruto Shippuden episodes dubbed in English?

[mfbtl]

^ dubhappy.com you can watch 1-13 i believe

[Colossal Spoons]

Samehada looks weird out of its wrapping. also, I can't wait to see how badly Sasuke hurts Sakura when he finds her :whatever:

[scatterax]

can that thing even be called a sword anymore? it looks more like some kinda spiky fish to me. the only weapon i can think of that it can pass as is a mace. or maybe a club. but not a sword.

[YoungE808]

Hell Choujuro's sword was like a hammer.

[Colossal Spoons]

I think it looks like a tree or some kind of bush

[Sloth7d]

New chapter's out--

I wonder if Kisame will be the first Akatsuki to not die when he throws off his cloak. This should be interesting.

[Colossal Spoons]

Wow, shark-form looks dumb as hell. Bee's Hachibi mode is badass though

[YoungE808]

Lol KB is the greatest thing that ever happened to the manga.

[Sloth7d]

Yeah, too bad he's most likely about to die. I doubt we'll get another DEM like with Gaara. :csad:

[scatterax]

I hope killer bee wins, actually. but does anybody know if that plant guy is dead? or if half of him is dead and the other half isn't??

[scatterax]

Hell Choujuro's sword was like a hammer.

who? sorry, it's hard keeping up w/ some of these names.

[Phenomenal]

Yall see the spoilers?
It seems Kisame's sword turns on him. Despite that Kisame still is going in for the kill with another sword.

[Colossal Spoons]

Man, if Suigetsu gets his hands on Samehada, I'll be pissed

[YoungE808]

He won't. Bee will get it before he does. Suigetsu would probably just get absorbed trying to use Samehada.

[YoungE808]

who? sorry, it's hard keeping up w/ some of these names.

He's the boy who escorted the Misukage along with Ao. He's one of the Seven Swordsman of the Hidden Mist.

[Colossal Spoons]

He won't. Bee will get it before he does. Suigetsu would probably just get absorbed trying to use Samehada.

I hope not, but I know he wants it BAD

[craigdbfan]

I don't see Kisame losing...

But Bee better win for Narutos sake other wise he'll be the only host left. Which won't be good news for the pending war.

[Sloth7d]

Chapters out early again--


First the fight turns into Kenpachi vs Tosen 2.0, except this time Komomura is an encomberance.
Then Samehada breaks up with Kisame because KillerBee's chakra puts it down better than him.
Then Kisame commits domestic abuse and steals one of KBs many sword partners.:awesome:

On a serious note, it looks like Kisame's lost it. Is he going for a killing blow? Either next chapter Madara shows up to save KB or the old guy and Komomura does while samehada revives his chakra. Either way, I don't see KB getting far until someone else shows up to capture him. It's inevitable at this point in the story knowing his role.

[craigdbfan]

Just finished reading it.

Didn't really see that one coming:

So does the Samehada now want to be wielded by Bee? Thought Kisame said it only obeyed him. So much for that. :hehe:

Now I really want to read Vol. 473!

I just can't imagine Bee fusing with the sword though. I mean Kisame already looked like a shark.

[craigdbfan]

Man, I'm eager to read the next volume.

[uchiha_itachi]

I still wanna know why he looks like a shark?

[FadingCB]

IMO Kisame's toast now. His biggest asset turned on him. Gave KB some chakra. KB's moving, and still has 2 ppl there to help him. I think the fight will drag on a bit longer, but stand by my earlier post that this is the start of the sword changing hands. Suigetsu wants Samehada, his old sword gets cut in half, and now Samehada rejects Kisame

I still think they're carrying on the whole "next generation taking over" deal. So if Kisame dies, it'll be Madara, plant guy, and Sasuke's group as the new Akatsuki. If Suigetsu is going to be helping take on Hokage level ppl, he needs an upgrade as right now he's just the guy who gets pounded into a puddle. KB might carry the sword for a bit, but Suigetsu will end up as it's new master.

[Sloth7d]

Kishi doesn't like writing about Suigetsu from what I've heard so he still might not get it, maybe...

[craigdbfan]

Not only that but Kisame kicked the crap out of it too.

Its starting to look grim for him.

[mfbtl]

I didn't know kisame had an espada resureccion. I hope he doesn't die.

[X-Ray]

Doesn't look good for Kisame. I'm guessing Samehada gave Killer Bee enough chakra before getting the boot from Kisame. So KB's about to take this fight next week. I think there's actually a good chance Kisame bites it. I don't see him retreating without Samehada. That sword's ability probably makes up at least half of his strength. Without it, he's fodder.

[MoPlaYa43]

the last chapter was very good...Im excited to see what happens next

[Longshot777]

Does anyone know here if the Toynami Naruto Shippuden figures be out at retail stores like Target, Toys R Us, Suncoast, FYE, etc.???

I know it's sold ONLINe but hopefully it will be out in stores too.
