Sage mode is pretty awesome. I used to hope he'd learn to control the Kiyuubi better and use it's powers more but sage mode is much better. If he loses the Kiyuubi(and lives somehow), he could still be insanely strong with the sage mode. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter. I'm thinking Heavenly realm Pain will probably be even with Naruto or will be stronger. I just don't see Naruto defeating him in the next few chapters. I do however see possibly Konan, Zetsu, Kisame, Sasuke and Hawk, or even Madara showing up to let Pain get away and get new bodies.
Naruto Discussion V [Re-Re-Redux]
-
-
I was kinda hoping pein would be dead afta 3 or 4 chapters! this storyline is boring me at the moment! The only good thing about it imo is that the longer it goes on the less we see of sasuke!
-
I have a prediction on what's gonna happen next:
Naruto will continue fighting Pain and will get to a point where his sage-clones run out. Then, Pain seems to get control and is sure to win the fight. But onceagain, Naruto surprises everybody as he has learned to gather natural energy while moving, and in the end he'll win the fight.
Anybody doubt me?
-
No i totally agree with you. I don't expect anything. Naruto will always win and if he loose it will be only temporary :D
-
Naruto acting as a team with his own clones was a lot more interesting than him working with Sakura ever was. I'm tempted to say Sasuke too, but the Zabuza mission and Forest of Death still ring in my head.
Good chapter. Are we getting 17 pages of colour next time? Or just a colour spread?
Even with all this, Naruto has, what, 6 ninjustu techniques, no genjutsu, and substitutes chakra enhanced brute strenght for taijutsu.
I don't think you're giving him enough credit.
Genjutsu is a one-trick pony and is the most limited of the three branches of chakra manipulation. It's also the lamest, since it consists of nothing but illusions and people have to break out of it in the same way.
Taijutsu is a fancy word for martial arts, and I don't really see much of a difference between Lee "opening the gates" and a DBZ-like power up. If his punches connect and do damage, he doesn't need something elaborate like a Hokuto Hyakuretsuken.
If Naruto is to have any interesting techniques, they should be primarily Ninjutsu, and though he could use more than that it's what he has most of.

I'm thinking like 2 or 3 pages of Pain and Naruto fighting will be in color. I really doubt it'd be a full color chapter.

Most powerups in DBZ didn't result in the user's muscles tearing themselves apart or have the potential to lead to the user's death like the Gates did.

Er, first of all, Genjutsu can KILL you. Look what Tsukuhime did to Kakashi.
Well, actually that is an exception. Most genjutsu are really lame. Kishimoto could have done much more with it. For example, turning someone into a vegetable, meaning they lose their ability for cognition.As for Taijutsu, yeah it is martial arts. But Naruto doesn't have much skill in it. I mean, all the taijutsu specialists have special techniques. Naruto only has basic punches and kicks.
Also, although Naruto knows only a few Ninjutsu, most of them are A-class or above, except henge/transformation.

:wassat:
I HOPE MY BODY CAN TAKE IT!

^
! That's what she said.
-

Didn't Itatchi do that?
-
Finally kishimoto turned down Naruto's hacks. First decent chapter in a long while.
-
I just remembered, didn't Naruto have a "that Jutsu" which Jiraya mentioned him not being allowed to use way back at the start of part 2? Did we ever see that, or was it just the revolutionary Oodama rasengan?
-
"That Jutsu" was the Nine Tails Release, and he hasn't used it since he tore the nutsack out of Orochimaru with it. With Kakashi/Tsunade, it was the Rasengan Shuriken, and it's pretty obvious there.
Once Hungry Ghost is down, I'd still like to see Naruto use "Ultimate Rasengan", the move Jiraiya did that was just eaten by HG Pain. (It reminds me of Vegeta's Final Flash Attack; you know, the attack he did once against Cell and didn't work, but was really flashy).Of course, he has the Shuriken Rasengan, but that one seems like something he'd use, too.
-
@Fire Fist:
Ultimate Rasengan
"This is for what you you did to erosenin, you f***in' bastard!"
Yeah, that would be cool. Naruto told Granny to sit back and watch, and he annouced to "settle it once and for all", so I doubt the fight will end without a winner. And Naruto won't loose, that's for sure.
But the fight with Pain brings on thought to my mind:
The question, wheter Sucksuke () or Pain is stronger. If Pain is stronger, Naruto would already now pwn Sasuke. Not what I expect, 'cause I think this will be the final fight and it would be lame, if they would fight at quite the same level.
But if Sasuke is stronger, than it is also weird, cause he was not even able to capture the 8 tails… Without his team, he would be 6 feet under by now. And I can only image Naruto vs. Sasuke as a one-on-one match...Well, let's see. The answer will come sooner or later...
Can't wait for this weeks chapter. Not only 'cause of the fight, but also of the coloured pages.

Naruto already did a variation of the ultimate Rasengan when he attacked the summoms with the two giant sage Rasengans. Rasengans are weaksauce nowadays anyway. Even the Konohomaru bushin can do them. Naruto big move this fight will probably something innovative and original like a oodama flying Rasenshuriken. Bigger is always better in Kishi's point of view along with spammimg Rasenshurikens.
As for "that jutsu" aka 4+ tails releases kishi is probably saving that until "the key" training starts
-

Don't bother trying to fathom it right now. Tiers have been off since Konohamaru succeeded in KOing an opponent Kakashi died against.
And ignoring everything leading up to it, this last chapter was actually pretty dang good. Naruto managed to use his bag of two tricks in a way that was fun, interesting and new multiple times. For once, Rasengan and Clones didn't seem like same ol', same ol'. What's more, no sign of Sasuke for what, 20 chapters or so now? This is pretty good.
Now the fact that the village idiot is owning the God of Destruction is still odd, but whatever. At least he's doing it in a cool new manner.
…I just know Kishi's setting us up for something dumb. Lulling us into a false sense of security or something.
-
I saw in a Ad in MAD magazine, Naruto.com has Epsiodes of SHippuden airing on thier site with new epsidoes every week.
-
But the fight with Pain brings on thought to my mind:
The question, wheter Sucksuke () or Pain is stronger. If Pain is stronger, Naruto would already now pwn Sasuke.
He'd probably be equal to Sasuke in strength but not necessarily stronger with this current powerup, I don't see Naruto going through another training session to get Stronger even after all is said and done with Pain.
than it is also weird, cause he was not even able to capture the 8 tails… Without his team, he would be 6 feet under by now.
If he had his curse seal he probably would've avoided taking as much abuse as he did.
-
There is a spoiler and a pic out:
! Can't read that spoiler yet but the pic essentially has the end of the chapter: Naruto "captured" by Yahiko Pain and "hungry ghost realm" (with the leader going: "nine tails mission complete").
-
that'd be lame
He is powning 3 chapters in a row now and suddenly he is captured????
LOL -
So we're back to business as usual I take it.
-
I was wondering where Kishi went.
Good to have him back?
-
! That'd be terrible. Isn't there another sage mode Naruto left.
-
! And now Pain leaves and just when he is going boast about his capture the Naruto he captured is revealed to be… log.
-
! 2 Pains left
Naruto tries to attack God Realm but is blown away by Shinra Tensei.
Katsuyu explains to Naruto God Realm's powers by telling him about how he destroyed the village and the 5 second delay.
Fukusaku says they should use a genjustsu to attack him.
Naruto says he doesn't know any so Fukusaku says he will cast one.
Pain then blows all the frogs away.
Another Pain then comes behind Naruto and holds him.
Naruto then gets all of his chakra sucked out.
Chapter ends with God Realm saying Kyubbi has been captured - Mission Accomplished.
! So its probably a another crappy Kishi ending or another lame genjutsu cliffhanger. -
! Kishi managed to get my Naruto attention back from -200 (I read the chapters monthly) to -100.
! Now we have three solutions.
! 1. Genjutsu Cliffhanger:
Kind of totaly lame, because we have seen it plenty of times. Its just another variation of another lame Sasku fight. The frogs talked about it before, now its forseeable that its a Genjutsu… which has no point at all.
And would turn my Naruto attention meter back to -250 (read it sometimes).
! 2. Naruto is captured
! This could get interesting.
! A. Naruto is brought into Pains hideout and fight his way free. Boring and lame. maybe together with Sasuke, the mighty avenger of gay emoness.Which has no point at all. (I predict this) -400 (Dont read it it, warn everyone who wants to read)
! B. Our beloved sidecharacters Shikamaru,Choji,Tenten,Neji... have to free Naruto while chasing Pain. Would be a ripoff of the Sasuke chase, but at least.. it would be entertaining.(-50) -

Likely because of there's a very similar thing in DBZ.
! The 2B is higly unlikely.
! But replace sidecharacters with Sasuke and the chances (and lameness) go through the roof. And it would be a "good" way for Kishi to put Naruto outside of the village, make Danzou the new Hokage, trigger the long-awaited war (which will consist of thousands of suddenly incapacitated ninjas watching the main characters fighting Madara, Kisame, Pain and Konan) and create a situation where Naruto and Sasuke can "save" Konoha's ass while holding their hands by kicking Danzou's butt together… and end the manga as fast as possible too. -
5. The non killed (Just blasted backwards) frogs summon the last sage naruto and the fight remommences.
-
as long as this isn't genjutsu i'm happy about this chapter
-
! Possibility 6:
! Naruto, having had the snot beaten out of him, wakes up in the middle of Kakahi's first bell training session while still tied to the post. He then realizes that everything after that was agenjutsucop-outdream.
! End series, cue massive pissed off fanbase. -
7. Next week on Naruto, Sanji wakes up from a dream and says "and I thought this island was gay"
-
Djoixu Wins
Flawless Victory
-
Possibility(sp.) 8.. This is all a dream. :P
-
! Possibility 9: Sauce-Gay appears out of nowhere and kills the two Pains screaming "Get your hands off my man!"
-
Now there is a complete script (@ MH) but yet untranslated…
Well, from the look of it is as always. Naruto will always be the No.1-Ninja-in-surprising-people.
Eighter the frogs or Naruto himself have a tactic in mind, I really doubt Pain can capture Naruto that easily. Anyways, I was waiting for a Naruto to come and kick ass. But always, right in the middle of the fight, his face gets pushed into mud...
-
He's getting all of his chakra sucked up
If Kishi remembers anything from part 1, the 9 tails chakra should kick in now that he's out of chakra. I don't think the 9 tails is just gonna let him get captured.
But then again it's Kishi we're talking about

If there's something negating the chakra it couldn't automatically kick-in.

Chapter is out kids…
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/434/ -
Naruto fails. Goku would have put out enough energy to make fat Pain pop like a pimple, without breaking a sweat.
Edit: Also Hinata said something.
-
Well…Nartuo's not out quite yet. He might be, he might not, it depends on how the next chapter goes.
I just want to complain about chakra. God chakra sucks, it's the worst energy...thing...out there. Even with this new sage mode it disappears in what, one page?
In before:
"This is the man who lost to Konohamaru."
-
^Awesome onemoment
I actually thought this chapter was pretty good, and at a whopping 19 pages! [sarcasm]You certainly have outdone yourself Kishimoto![/sarcasm] I also liked the attention Hinata got this chapter, showing deep concern for Naruto (where were you on that one Sakura?)
…can you tell I'm a NaruHina fan? ^_^;
So, hows that rascally Naruto gonna get out of this one? ...oh yeah, we just had like a 9 different possiblity discussion about it.
-
Dear lord, the dreaded Full Nelson no jutsu! That'll hold him long enough for Pain to launch another Special Beam Canon.
-
This post is deleted!

Erm, is it only be or do pages 16 and 17 resemble the Ace vs. Teach fight?

yepp, total ripp off but can't be helped, i guess.
what's the translation of shinra? wanted to know that since ff7 but i though it was just a name back then so i didn't bother looking it up.

what's the translation of shinra?
ITCANTBETRANSLATEDITSJAPANESE!!!11
No seriously, apparently it's hard to translate :D
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Shinra_Tensei
The average Japanese reader would look at the name of this jutsu and see a cool-sounding name vaguely meaning God-Buddhist Connection-Heaven-Subjugation. This probably isn't how Kishimoto thought of the name, but it's how his readers will see it.
Hell, for all we know he might actually have named this jutsu after the Shinra Company from FFVII. After all, Kishimoto loves video games.
I wonder if Japanese people have the same problems with the spells from Harry Potter… --ShounenSuki 23:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)lol
Also:

Ultimately the combination turns out to be this:
"The Enlightening Voice of God."Quickly followed by:
Seems you put a decent amount of effort into this. Unfortunately, it's not correct.

ah, so it has been dicussed before without a final or pleasing conclusion, huh? well, than i just stick to "it's a cool name of a bad organisation in an AWESOME video game". thanks for the enlightment ^^

yepp, total ripp off but can't be helped, i guess.
I wouldn't call it rip off but rather an inspiration. Just wondering if anybody else got the same impression.^^

Tsunade's gonna die saving Naruto from Akatsuki or Sakura is gonna save Naruto, cuz you know the whole New gen surpass the Old gen. Sakura will probably save the one she "loves"
