Naruto - Part 1

[Liam_H]

Him turning against Kabuto isn't surprising considering he wanted to be rid of Orochimaru, which Kabuto is basically turning into now. This is the most interesting thing Sasuke has done in awhile, he isn't stuck in that perpetual brooding tone.

Madara is such a troll, 5 vs 1 against him and he'll just reverse it on you.

 

[Jick]

It's like Madara becomes even more menacing by each chapter.

As for Sasuke, I really didn't expect him to be where he is right now.
When he appeared in the rain, after some time off the manga, he had a blood lust on his eyes. He seemed lunatic. Now, he looks like the Sasuke he used to be before he fought Itachi.

I was liking the lunatic version. He seemed irredeemable. Now it is starting to seem like there is hope for him. I don't really like it.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I got to see Saskue fight his brother, he found out Madara was alive and now is siding with him? After learning the "truth" about his brother why would he try and destroy the Leaf? Because his brother wanted to protect it?

Not sure how far you've gone but I'll try to remain brief so I don't spoil too much. Because the elder of the Leaf Village ordered Itachi to massacre his entire clan. Itachi followed through because he didn't want civil war to break out which could eventually lead to another Great War. So its basically bleeding a little to avoid the major injury. Sasuke is pissed off that he believed all his life that Itachi was a power hungry lunatic but instead was doing it for the benefit of Konoha. He killed his brother who loved him and now he wants revenge for all that has happened.

 

[Clu]

only 2 people can bring sasuke back from his insanity. his brother and naruto. hes talking calmly with his brother now, because he wants answers directly from him at why he did what he did. he knows tobi could have and might have lied, but hearing it from his own brothers mouth is what he wants.

but the flaw is that ending edo would kill everyone who is in the sate of that, so itachi can stop it, but then die again as the edo would kill him. so he lied to sasuke again.

 

[Jick]

Maybe he'll put Sasuke into a Tsukuyomi too, right after he ends the Edo Tensei. Since time is way slower when one is under the effect of a Tsukuyomi, they can talk before Itachi vanishes.

Latest chapter ...

Spoiler

- Karin (and Nagato) is from the Uzumaki clan. A lot of people had that theory out there because of the hair color. I never bought into it especially for that reason. Guess Naruto will pave the way to include her into Konoha.

- Naruto isn't the only mofo to achieve sage mode. If the two brothers do defeat him. I guess that pretty much confirms Uchiha > everyone in the series.

 

[Jick]

Sennin Mõdo!
Snake based...

I wonder if the slugs can provide a Sennin mode, too. Maybe Tsunade pulls one out against Madara.

 

[Clu]

it could be argued that naruto is the only one who is capable to achieve sage mode without the use of help other then clones.

the brothers will defeat the dragon because one cant die and can spam endless amounts of flame and techs to reach an end goal. itachi is probably the only smart uchiha who actually thinks before he does something.

 

[Lord]

Itachi basically planed his oun return, i like the fact that right now there are happening these 3 important battles at the same time, but i wonder if the allied forces are going to win all three, that would be a smaching defeat for Tobi, speaking of Tobi i was also liking his fight with naruto, hope to see the continuation soon.

I'm also interested in seeing what sasuke's former teammates have found that will turn the tides of the war, and for who, they're going to help sasuke, but by that time will he be in what side? Tobi's or Itachi's?

 

[Jick]

I think as soon the battle with Kabuto ends, the battle with Madara ends.
I'd like to see the Kages stopping Madara before he is sealed, though. Otherwise, it'd feel like they're being saved, instead of feeling like they're fighting to save.

 

[Lord]

Yeah, and if that happens, in the end the Kages are just showed as being weak, i think that none of these 3 battles are going to end soon, and i believe that the war may still hold some twists and surprises.

 

[Lord]

By the way, anybody has watched the movies? They're basically just filler, but they seem to be well done filler, i ask this because of the next anounced movie:

Aparently Kishimoto is personaly creating the story and the characters, from the poster it looks like Tobi and Naruto's parents are going to appear, i don't know what his parents can do new unless they only appear in a flashback, but i'm interested in knowing Tobi's role in the movie, seems like it will take place during the preparations for the shinobi world war.

 

[TheVileOne]

Lord, I'm not sure but this could also be an AU anime type movie where perhaps in this version Kushina and Minato survived. Not sure though, that's just speculation. This looks good though and I like that this time Kishimoto has a more active involvement. Also first teaser trailer has been released and there are subtitles:

Naruto: Road to Ninja will be out in Japan in June of this year.

 

[Still Wynning]

Is it just me, or does it look like Hinata's and Ino's personalities have been swapped in this alternate telling?

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah, what's up with Ino that picture? And Hinata looks all cool and confident.

Just read the newest chapter:

Spoiler

My god, does every villain need to be sympathetic in some way? Can't there be just one villain who didn't have a tragic past and actually just enjoys being a bad person without guilt or honor motivating him? Seriously, it's gotten so tiresome already.

 

[craigdbfan]

Sam Raimi is advising Kishi.

 

[Herolee10]

Sam Raimi is advising Kishi.

I guess that explains why Sakura is such a bore and pain to read about like MJ was.

 

[craigdbfan]

Nice observation.

Orochimaru
Sure his parents died when he was young but it's not as if they did a flashback for that, he has been largelly an evil character, while Kabuto has shown more sympathetic many times

Didn't know ther existed nuns in the Naruto Universe

 

[The Apocalypse]

So I've heard that the manga is ending in 18 chapters. Is there any truth to that because if so I think I'll start to read it because I'll end up getting spoiled.
