Well, there's another guy that might be Obito.

Well, there's another guy that might be Obito.
:/
From what I've learned:
New guy is an ANBU member who will be taking Kakashi's place until he heals, with the codename "Yamato." He respectfully calls Kakashi "senpai." (and he's really cute!! with a kitty mask!)
Old guy is an ex-ANBU leader who was opposed to Sandaime, apparenly more apt to fight than make peace. Sai is apparently a student of his now disbanded ANBU section called "ne" (root). Tsunade is very wary of him.
Sai apparently has one filthy mouth. He insulted both Naruto and Sakura (he called Sakura butt-ugly)
I wouldn't call Ino stacked, but she's definitely got curves, and I think she "out-slutted" Sakura. (although to be honest I don't think she looks that bad. Kinda like . . . . ninja fashion model. But she kept the old ninja sandals)
Ninja fashion model…that's new.
Yamato looks pretty cool with that head gear.
LOl the whole chapter doesn't tell anything more that those 8 pages that were out.
:laugh:
yep and if you think like 1/2 naruto chapter = 1 naruto chapter and you turn it into x/2 = x, you obviously come to x = 0.
see what i mean? XD
just kidding. i don't like this sai dude but i don't enjoy ambiguous dudes in naruto. it makes it too previsible. redemption, when you take me.
I told you that this guy just being made to keep all the fangirls happy until sasuke reapperance most likely, we will have some sad story about him…. how he's parentless, being taken by that bandage guy into the root, trained to be a killing machine, knows no emotion because of the hard training, crap like that. bah. who cares, really?:rolleyes:
and that kitty guy? he'll fight kabuto .

exactly what i meant.
i have great hope in that anbu guy. is first movement was to stop sakura to kick sai's ass. that's cool.
I agree, I'm actually much more interested in Yamato than I am Sai right now. And his headgear is like the kind the 2nd Hokage worse. Related? Maybe, maybe not. But the fact that he's ANBU should mean he's got some really cool moves.
I like the fact that Sai is a potty mouth, though. It gives a more interesting quirk to his character. And yes, he is filler until Sasuke reappears.
I'm kinda miffed that Kishimoto just glossed over the meeting of the new team. Where's the character development, sensei?

He might as well Save it for like,6 arcs in.
Oh,and is it me,or does TenTen look like a panda?

and in other news kyle hebert (son gohan dragonball z) is going to voice kiba in the dub
"Hurry Kiba,Find The Dragonballs!!!"XD
Hahahaha,that would be really funny!
And Sai is as rude as Tayuya,maybe even ruder.
My first post in the Naruto discussion topic involves a comparsion between Naruto and one of the biggest literature icons ever.
Naruto and Harry Potter.
Have you ever noticed how similar they are?
Three Kids
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura
Harry, Ron, Hermoine
Naruto and Harry are orphans.
Both have great power.
Both villains are snake related (Orochimaru and Voldemort.)
Both are very popular in America (Naruto kicking One Piece's ass.)
Special schools to train their powers
Sandaime Hokage and Dumbledore both SPOILERS FOR BOTH STORIES
Die.
Both authors are very, very rich.
Both are popular in their native countries.
That's all I got. But if you have more I'd like to hear them.
I like the fact that Sai has got a mouth like that on him, should make things interesting on the journey. Also I wonder what that guy Yamato will be like.

If 4Kids hadn't royally screwed over the dub OP would be a lot more popular than it is.
If you want a BIG difference between HP and Naruto . . . . . Ron is like the exact opposite of Sasuke. But I see where you're going.
That's all I got. But if you have more I'd like to hear them.
I guess this is technically a book six spoiler, so:
Both of the elderly headmasters recognized that the villain is a dangerous prick when he is a child, but chose to train him anyway on the slight-chance that he really won't turn out to be that bad after all. Each of them proceeds to kill quite a few of their old masters' friends with Orochimaru actually personally killing the Third Hokage. Dumbasses.
That's all I got. But if you have more I'd like to hear them.
Some of these are more "trivial", but…
-Both have scars : on Harry's forehead and the whisker scars on Naruto's cheeks
-Both gained power from some sort of evil being : Harry gained Voldemort's powers when he tried to kill Harry and Naruto gained his powers from the Kyuubi
-Both have a female replace their leader : Tsunade replaces Sarutobi, McGonagoll (for now) replaces Dumbledore
-The girls in the team are both smart : Hermione and Sakura
-Both Naruto and Harry were hated as kids (well, Naruto by everyone and technically Harry was loved by the wizards, but hated by the people he lived with)
-Both villains reincarnate themselves into other bodies
-A giant snake is fought in both
-Both have younger kids that worship them : the kid with the camera (forget his name) in HP and Konohamaru (yeah, he said he'd be Naruto's rival, but he still copies him)
There's an HP-Naruto parallel because Kishimoto was partially inspired by the books; in turn, he was able to predict (or, if you would have it, influence) Dumbledore's death by killing off his "Professor".
Ever wonder why Naruto is so popular with American readers, but not One Piece? It's foreign and follows the same format as HP, but with a slight twist; it's a weekly, as opposed to a diannual (somewhat) event.

I actually have my theories on this. Most American anime fans who either watch dubs, buy DVDs, or are heavy into the fansub/scanlating communities grew up with DBZ. What is more similar to DBZ, Naruto or One Piece? Exactly.
I was talking to my friend who likes One Piece, and we both agreed that if One Piece was drawn in a more "traditional" way, OP would be vastly more popular stateside. Instead, people gravitate towards Naruto and Bleach and the like with traditional "power-ups" and art style.
Proving once more that people are sheep. Now dance for me sheep, Dance!
I agree that One Piece's art is usually the biggest turnoff to a non-fan. Even I didn't like the artwork at first, and you gotta admit the art in the beginning wasn't that good. A little too cartoony for my taste. But oh how that art has grown in leaps and bounds. . . . . the artwork in Water Seven is to die for.
And yes, funny how fanboys/girls gripe about power-ups and stuff and yet still love series like Naruto and Bleach. (although I gotta admit, I LOVE the art in Bleach)
One Piece isn't popular in America because, in the words of Maddox (phrs), "American Otaku arn't into Anime because it's new or interestesting; they're into it just because it's Japanese, because anything foreign is inherently better than something American." Naruto, though an inferior manga to OP, is more "Japanese" because of its setting and focus on an important sect of skilled individuals that were influential in Japanese history. One could say the same about "Bleach", but not about Yu-Yu-Hakusho, of which all of the people I spoke to whom identify themselves as otaku hate with a passion. o_O;
By this same logic, there's no reason Princess Mononoke should have done poorly in America aside from bad advertising, which was the case. Yay for historical trends.
First things first: I never, ever picture Harry Potter when reading Naruto. Or the other way around… It seems silly:
"But Harry, the spell doesn't..."
"YOUR EYES LOOK LIKE MINE!"
Yeah, that kinda silly.
Second: Is it just me, or does Ino look.. bland?
Third: DUBBED Mononoke. Gah. Thank goodness for DVD and subtitles... Seriously, Gillian Anderson for MORO? What were they smoking?
There's an HP-Naruto parallel because Kishimoto was partially inspired by the books; in turn, he was able to predict (or, if you would have it, influence) Dumbledore's death by killing off his "Professor".
You know Kishimoto planned to right a magic series eventually? He wanted to do it after he finished Naruto, but because of HP's popularity he realized most people would think he was just copying Rowling. :l
And on a side note: Anyone else think Monoke was… wierd? The beginning was good, but by the time they shot off the big Spirit's head, I was just kinda like "WTF is going on?!" I mean it was fine movie, but just... I dunno.
And Spirited Away really disturbed me (NoFace... @_@ ).
Hahaha the other day I was telling my boyfriend that One Piece is about the only anime I have ever seen where about 99% of the male characters don't have spikey hair.

Thinks…
Takahashi works have conservative hair cuts, but then again, Takahashi was parallel with Toriyama during the eighties.
Hajime no Ippo's got normal-haired guys…
I have to find that pic I have somewhere with Orochimaru reading Half Blood Prince and drooling at the idea of horcruxes.
The characters done by the artist of Hikaru No Go and DeathNote have normal hair, mostly. =3 The craziest hair still goes to Yugi though.

Poor Naruto, Sasuke will totally own him now :adore:
Meh, that link doesn't work. It hasn't all day.
I just clicked it a moment ago, and it works.
Make sure you aren't clicking the one that was quoted below the original…it has an extra "http" in there.
Ugh, he's even more rancid than before. Is that "Cursed Seal" level three?
New one's out and it seems rather intriguing, however it's a chapter that definitely needs a translation
-Naruto and Sakura's sideways glares at Sai LOL
-Sai and Anbu stuff
-Off to the grass we go
Good greif Sasuke… Orochimaru sure made ditchting your friends worthwhile.
OK,Does ANYONE know Narutofan?Because they get the FASTEST TRANSLATION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!
LOL even Sakura and Naruto talk about how Sai resembles Sasuke. and boohoo Sai had sad past (like that was unexpected) :laugh:
@Comander:
OK,Does ANYONE know Narutofan?Because they get the FASTEST TRANSLATION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!

Here it is!
Whoa, that's awesome. XD
the one here who doesn't know narutofan puts his arm in the air.
raises arm slowly
wait narutofan? god, you're saying NARUTOFAN!!!??? the one here who doesn't know narutofan puts his arm in the air
Yeah,i hate them to.BUT!They are our only hope.Exept for that mega place.
The characters done by the artist of Hikaru No Go and DeathNote have normal hair, mostly. =3 The craziest hair still goes to Yugi though.
I agree, but at least it worked on Yugi.
But yeah, the artist behind Hikaru no Go and Death Note definitely has some of the best art in Jump period.
If I were to list the best artwork in Jump without ranking it, it would go:
Death Note
Bleach
One Piece
D.Gray-Man
Naruto lost it's edge and now just looks generic.
