Naruto - Part 1

[Jick09]

I thought of Naruto vs Pain, but I guess I can count Nagato as well. After all, he was the seventh path of Pain. The battle was really personal to him for what happened to Jiraya.

[Lord]

I liked the Pain invasion but that ending with Naruto facing Nagato really killed it for me, expected much more from the Akatsuki leader (who also ended up being Tobi's pupet)

[Lord]

Has anybody else read Mario?




It's a manga Kishimoto has been talking about since Naruto was in part I, he finally released a one-shot, he will probably start the manga after naruto is finished. The plot's about mafia by the way.

I didn't really bother trying it, I heard it was just mediocre Kishimoto trying to be shocking. Did quite enjoy the latest Naruto chapter though.

[Lord]

Yeah, Mario was kind of a let-down, but that's probably because he had to cut his 100 pages one shot to 40, either way he seems to already have something prepared once he's finished with Naruto, i just hope he can offer better storytelling in the long run than he didn in the one-shot

[DarkMelody]

I'm sure he can. Say what you will about Kishimoto but it does seem like he has some of Oda's preplanning in terms of plot and isn't as "throw things against the wall and see if they stick" and "retroactive foreshadowing" as Kubo. I'm interested to see what sort of topic he pursues post-Naruto.

Well, the newest chapter was something that I thought I'd never see. Just when you think you know how things are going, the author takes a 180 turn to make you think otherwise.lol

Strange is what it is, feels like Sasuke is trolling everyone. Only thing left was for him to reignite their bromance by saying Naruto is scared.

[Lord]

It trully was a huge turn, can't say it was a positive turn though

[Liam_H]

In a sense it really felt like fanfiction in the ways things just came together.

I will become Hokage.

Only Sasuke could troll this freaking hard. Get out of here with that **** scrub.

I want to become hokage. The nerve on this guy.

Yeah, pretty much that. I have a feeling Kishi is trying to end Naruto quickly so that he can move to other things.

[herolee10]

I bet a lot of Loki fans wish for the same thing to happened between Loki and Thor in future installments.lol

On another note, how the hell is Minato able to have that chakra form? I thought only Naruto could do that due to him having the Nine Tails in him. I mean, did I miss something?

[Liam_H]

Remember that Minato died sealing half of the Nine Tails chakra within himself while the other half was sealed within Naruto. Although I have no idea how he's able to use it since he's been dead all this time unless he played around with it when it was sealed within Kushina.

So does he have another version of the nine tails in him as well? Or was it just the chakra that he sealed into himself?

I feel like Naruto, the series, could still go on for quite awhile since they still have to deal with Orochimaru and Sasuke (who I have a hard time buying that he's reformed after all of the teases and build ups that we've gotten indicating that they'll fight each other again once more)

[Liam_H]

I believe Minato carries the Yin half while Naruto holds the Yang half. Once Minato goes back to being dead he'll probably give Naruto full control making him even more powerful.

That's how I felt reading it. I liked the chapter, but I couldn't shake this feeling off.
I really don't want this manga to go on for much longer.

As for Minato having that chakra form, I guess that's all he had. I mean, he probably didn't have to go through the same thing Naruto did to get the chakra. The mind of the Kyuubi went to Naruto.

I can only imagine these 4 kage were brought back under less welcoming circumstances..yikes.

As always, minato never ceases to amaze everyone.

The best part was when the first told madara that he was a second thought in not so man words.

Even Akamaru had the look of total shock and disbelief on his face.
