It looks like the proportions are kind of wrong. His head looks really big.
I got it! Pain is Naruto's long-lost older brother with hydrocephalus.

I stopped after the fifth volume.
I stopped after vol. 18 since everything after crapped on what was good about the series.

I stopped after the fifth volume.
But you kept reading Naruto? Probably helped that I started reading Negima when I had literally nothing to do at work for two weeks and no other manga to read. It was at chapter 125 at the time, I think.

@robbybevard:
I'm just posting now so I don't risk being the 5000th poster. Ick, who would want THAT honor? It would forever be a taint on them "Hey, I was the 5000th poster in the 5th Naruto forum!" Hrm… maybe if others worked reeeeeeaaaaal hard, this thread could be closed before that!
Is it really that bad to be the 5000th poster? I always thought being the one who opens the thread or replies first is far worse. :happy:
-
Well the chapter is out…and unlike what the rest of you are probably going to say, for once the chapter is passable, maybe even "not bad". Naruto used his brain to "frogify" the Hungry Ghost Pain...and it's sort of tragic that Pa had to go out like that. Yeah, we're about to hear a "Pain rant for the sake of the world" next week...but that's for next week.
-
This arc needs more Team Gai. And less "Naruto's teachers getting killed."
-
the past few chapters actually haven't been that awful
hell, i was on the borderline of enjoying them actuallywaking up on a nice sunny morning with the birds chirping, it's actually sorta fun to read naruto
pretty decent chapter
also, hopefully pain's puppet master will be a fucking crazy asshole
i think the reason his puppets are emotionless is because… well... they're puppets..only irk about this chapter was when the frog said to naruto that all these pains were puppets, he kept attacking the puppets... i mean what the hell. You just got spoonfed the answer to win this fight, yet you go in the wrong direction?

Well with no knowlege of where the "real" Pain is, and the puppets killing everything in sight, I don't see the problem here.
-
Jiraiya's death didn't do it.
Kakashi's probable death didn't do it.
But Kermit the Frog's death does it?
What. Get your priorities straight already, Naruto.
-

Well, I'm reading Naruto more or less for the lulz. When I stopped reading Negima it wasn't because I thought it was bad, but because at the time I didn't have a computer so continuing further would be a hassle.
I would pick it back up, but I've have about 5 other mangas to catch up on.
-
Why are the frogs falling left and right? They're the only awesome thing left in this fight, they can't fall!
Inoichi's reveleation better be mind-boggling or I declare this fight unsalvageable.
-
And less "Naruto's teachers getting killed."
Yeah. I have no words to add. Pa getting killed would be the ultimate pain-in-tha-ass (take it literally)…
I liked when Naruto came up with his super frogs and his new super power, lookin' like he'd kick all asses in the world. And now, it just bores me. C'mon, Fukusaku is a very old frog, has surely lived over thousands of battles and so on. And now, he gets killed by being stabed. That is just lame. This is like Kakashi dying by a single hit with an ordinary fist. Kishi could almost not have done worse. Maybe if Fukusaku died by a heartattack during that fight... Eh, now that I think about, this would have been even better...
-

I'm pretty sure he's just going to say Pein is using dead bodies as his puppets.
-
Hey, Naruto's gotten Pain to start monolouging! As all good old fashioned superheroes trick their villains into doing!
And really. Is mentor killing the ONLY thing Kishi knows how to do to make characters emotional? I have no idea how Tsunade has survived this long into this arc… But really... ALL THREE of Naruto's mentors by one guy? Isn't that a bit much?
Makes me wonder if Iruka's been impaled by village debri off camera and we just haven't seen his body yet... if not, he better get his ass out on the field so he can die saving Naruto too.
-
I found it hilarious that Pain is going to do another "let me tell you something" speech right when he's in the perfect position to just take Naruto to Akatsuki HQ.
Pain is coming across as the epitome of PIS.
-
Pain's only surrounded by a whole village of ninja that desperately try not to get in Naruto's way. He should be relatively safe.
@robbybevard:

The manga hasn't reached Sakura time yet. The moment we learn a little more about the girl Tsunade will promptly choke on a fishbone.
-
I think they're still going to discover Pain's weakness and turn the tide against him.
He should just run away with his prize.

I wouldn't call it PIS, it's just who Pain is. He takes any chance he can get to tell everyone why he's such a bastard and why they are all going to die and other bad guy stuff.
-
So he's PIS incarnate.
Got it.
-
@THC:

Stupid isn't exactly a …. unique human trait. If this came out of nowhere I would agree with you, but since he's shown a love of monologing to people, especially people he's about to kill/mess up, it's not PIS.
-
I think that both you guys are PISS.
-

I just would think with one body left and facing his most troublesome opponent, Pain would know not to play around.
For me that last part was "out of the blue".
Anyways, it looks like the villagers are going to intervene the fight anyway, that's kind of depressing.

What. Get your priorities straight already, Naruto.
"Do it" as in make Naruto into a stronger Ninja, Jiraiya's death did that.
-
I need more faces and palms, stat.
-
Is that how you lost all those brain cells?
-
What's up with all this naruto's master dying recently, jiraiya - kakashi(maybe)- probably fukaksu. WTF!? I think my interest would come back if team gai returns, and I will be piss if team saucegay comes back fighting pain.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Meh, this chapter could have been worse. Stuff happened, the plot progressed,and best of all Naruto isn't quite out of the fight yet. Yeah, a lot of stupid stuff happened…but there's been so much worse.
I'm a little nervous that the conversation with Ino's dad seems to be suggesting searching the dead bodies. Could that be why Kakashi's corpse has been hanging around? Is it going to be used to find a secret about Pein? Really, could that happen? I dunno, but if that's how this goes down then it's in bad tastse.
-
There's been worse, but this chapter is still bad. There's no way around that.
-
I love you guys. Y'all just made my day
-

He's only going to confirm stuff that the readers should of already guessed by now. By thinking about dead bodies. He's going to remember when the Rain Village guys mind he entered had the memory of him bringing that summoner girls dead body to Konan in the Rain village. Then say OMG the real body is in Rain village.

Why do people always complain about the Naruto chapters? Does it have to be mind-blowing to be even remotely liked by the fans? What's up with that? This was a great chapter and I look forward to next week.

No, it doesn't have to be mind blowing. It just needs to be adequate, and not bad. The Pain/Naruto fight has been going, what, 7 chapters now? And the consensus is, we've liked 4 or 5 of those chapters, that Naruto kicking ass and using strategy pretty cool, and that the frogs are pretty damn awesome, but the side characters are being squandered like always, which all in all is a pretty good ratio for Kishi lately.
All the awesome frogs being taken out in one cheap move…. Naruto losing his third mentor in a row to the same guy (who also destoryed the village. seriously, how much more pissed can Naruto be at one guy?)... followed by the same villain monologing..... is pretty much in the bad writing category, however.
-
I'm pretty sure he's just going to say Pein is using dead bodies as his puppets.
Additionally to that he's going to say that the building where the dead bodies were delivered too is where the real Pain is hiding. Anything but this would be a real surprise.

I think it's because if your having a debate over what's the best series out right now or ever the one's who will always deny one piece the spot at the top will be Naruto fans (and sometimes Bleach fans) This is especially fustrating in America seeing as how Naruto has a bigger fan base here even though One Piece shows off the chart records in Japan the motherland of mangas and anime but leave it to stupid American fans who know nothing about sales and quality to deny that…. This being said I do like Naruto and Bleach but I feel One Piece just surpasses greatness

Because the series promised so much and delivered so little.

Speak for yourself.

Speak for yourself.
It's just something I noticed with me and some of my friends so i guess your right in it being just a wild assumption based solely on my feelings but I just thought it was worth saying
-
If this is all what Naruto can offer… i m out of here. WHY he is so weakling, he IS main character of this great manga! OMFG if that other Sasuke guy comes and beats shit Pain or something, frack this is nonsense. Come on, just plz make generic rage power up mr. mangaka plz.
-
remember when son goku went super saiyan in DBZ? I predict the super sage power up for naruto in the next chapter.

Super Sagin 2 .

It's their curse as undeveloped characters. Plus, Pein does have a nova like move….
So while that sucks, it's seems like something that everyone should have prepared themselves for.

It must not have if it's been going this long.
