But i thought Oro still had his Kusanagi, so this means Sasuke has his own too? Can't be the same sword.:ninja:
Naruto Discussion!

I say…that chapter sucked a lot. I'm already annoyed by the fact that Akatsuki mainly consists of girls that claim to be male, but now Kishimoto annoys me all over again with Mary Sue aka Sasuke.
He ignoreres all the cool characters, ruins Gaara and now this...I am a Naruto-fan, but I think the fact that the man who draws the manga happens to be a fanboy of the lamest character in the whole series is kinda annoying.
I wonder if Sasuke already has got his own demon.... -
Exactly my other favorite characters other than Naruto are hinata which hardly ever gets any character development, Gaara which has had most of his coolness factor taken away, Kiba which we rarely seen anymore and also lee who is also a cool character being ignored. I'm probally saying this because I don't like sasuke and his emo angst.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kusanagi
Kusanagi is a legendary Japanese sword "Grasscutter", possibly aka "sword of the snake". Read about it all here!
Personally, I like Stan Sakai's take on it best, but Usagi Yojimbo's not for everybody.
But anyway. Orochimaru owns Kusanagi in the Narutoverse, and had been carrying it in his throat. Because he's creepy like that.
*edit: this is in response to warp.
-
The sword must have been the new technique/skill Orochimaru taught Sasuke, which is fitting seeing how it's a good weapon to use against Naruto. (This is a giant guess, just in case)
-
Kusanagi is also one of the "Three Imperial Treasures", objects handed down by Amaterasu to her decendents on Earth. A sword (Kusanagi), a mirror, and a jewel. In Naruto the jewel is represented by Tsunade's necklace. (now we have to wonder if Jiraiya has a mirror of some kind)
Okay, my two cents on this chapter:
First things first, the pacing in this chapter is the best I have seen in Naruto for a LONG time. Not as good as it used to be, but hell, things actually MOVED.
other thoughts:
1. Sasuke's new Chidori.
A chidori from the whole body? okay, I'll admit, pretty cool. At least a lot better than Naruto's "bigger" rasengan.2. Sasuke pwning everybody.
BOOO! Don't take down the one cool character! (Yamato) Everybody else I expected. But I didn't expect that quickly. Damn.3. Naruto's necklace
Actually we do see it hit the ground on the same page it was snapped off. It's just on page 10 they showed another panel of it to prove it came fully off.4. Naruto vs. Kyuubi
cue ominious music The Kyuubi can get partially out of the cage . .. . that's not a good thing. Although I was glad to see Naruto standing up to it. Reminds me of the good old days when Naruto demanded the Kyuubi's chakra as rent for staying in his body.5. Sasuke in Naruto's sub-concious.
The hell? Is this a new Sharingan move? If it is it ranks up there with Kakashi's dimension ripping on the lame-o-meter. The only interesting thing is that the Kyuubi seems to know the Uchiha clan.So, all in all, this is a far better chapter than we have seen in a LONG time. Things are actually a touch suspenseful. Question is, can Kishimoto keep it up? chances not likely. But we'll see.
-
The Kyuubi can get partially out of the cage . .. . that's not a good thing.
Was that the Kyuubi or his chakra?
I would laugh so hard if Itachi STILL pwned Sasuke. Then again, I hope Sasuke wins so we can all get on with our lives.

Better yet, both shall die, along with Sakura.

yeah I agree then we can have a more ddecent manga.(no offense)
-
meh nothing Naruto can pull now will make me actually want to read it OP and others have kept getting good while it has stagnated into crap
and for recent anime news
…..........yeah
-
So much for Shino being the character who never made an expression . . . .
-
I liked how they made a big deal about Sakura being able to fight, then after her incredibly boring debut she just as quickly fades back into the background
-
Isnt that the same with all naruto characters….chouji,shikamaru,neji,sakura....
pretty soon it will be sai or yamato
also i love my new sig :D
-
Lol, I love your siggy too. The latest chapter finally show some Sasgay action. Flowing chidori!
-
@Cap'n:

This is like…...the third time?:sad:
She charges, and for whatever reason Yamato HAS TO PROTECT HER.
-
Oh, I haven't even read the series for like a month. It happened again?
-
Ummm sai has actual feelings now. He suppose to kill sasuke but decided not to because naruto made him happy or some shit like that. Then sasuke shows finally and naruto actually mentions his hokage again gasp. Then sasuke uses a new chidori technique on sai and naruto. Then he attacks yamato. right now sai and yamato are down. Then the kyuubi shows in narutos mind and asks naruto who he wants to kill. Naruto says go away and he doesnt want his power. Then at the end sasuke shows up in his mind and hes like "who knew you had this beast inside of you" (wtf?!) and thats where we are
-
the manga is getting alot better now, i totally gave up on the stupid anime, gay fillers wont ever end….
-
I still say that Naruto II is pretty mediocre compared to the original. In fact, I'm starting to really dislike these new chapters. My situation with Sasuke's clothes are reversed to a lot of people's; I liked them at first but they're now starting to look…retarded. Sasuke is way overpowered (and the flowing chidori didn't look cool like the regular one did), and this was another simple chapter layout. Come on Kishimoto put some effort into it!
-
He's not owerpowered, it's just that Naruto is behind everyone yet again so everyone looks uberpowerful.
-
Which leads me to this question. What did Naruto do for the three year skip; take a nap and cry over Sasuke's hitai-ate? He seems to have changed very little combatwise since Naruto I.
-
This series seems to be really mishandeling the "two males who hate/love eachother thing and fight alot".
Akira and Berserk handle it really well…
Dragonball even handeled it well.But this is......whiny and clumsy....
Like Hayden Christianson.
-
Hahaha, Akira.
"NARUUUUUUUUUUUUTOOOOOO!!!"
"SASSSSSSSSSSSUKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"They're getting closer to the giant energy balls level, at least.
-
there may be something to it– after all, Sasuke already turned into a hideous mutant thing.
But if we're going to be playing "Akira", I want more motorcycles!
-
@Mr.:

Kishi hates Naruto so he makes him ever weaker and stupider ever fewy chapters so the manga will be forced to end or at least renamed.:ninja: So it looks like.
-

Well Kishi is already ripping off Berserk with the Atkatsuki standing on top of the big demonic fingers when they were taking Garaa's demon.
So its only appropriate that Naruto's Kyubi unleash some giant Konoha destroying ball after Sai gets shot in the head by some weezely dude. -

Yes, and then the series will be called "Jiraiya" and I will have a happiness induced heart attack.

Holy shit, you're right!
I only recently read Berserk, and I'd forgotten about that scene in Naruto, so I didn't put two and two together.Dude… my respect for Kishimoto just went down.

I am more and more of the desire to see Gutts rampage through Konoha.
"Your ripping off WHO?
Ah HELL no!" -
I am more and more of the desire to see Gutts rampage through Konoha.
"Your ripping off WHO?
Ah HELL no!"I more wish to see Guts kill the Akatsuki (except Kisame…he's got a cool sword and also great looks for a villian, unlike all those shoujo manga characters).
Itachi will be taught what REAL hatred is!
Itachi: I will make you live through the same day, filled with pain and sorrow, over and over again.
Guts: Yeah? Welcome to my life... -

If Kishimoto doesn't include at least one female Akatsuki member, I will reverse my opinion again and call him sexist. (I suspected him of it until Tsunade showed up)
-

I just consider Deidara a woman; there's no proof she's not. Right?
-

I guess a female wouldn't fit the whole gay-concept of the Akatsuki.
Also…can't get any more female than Deidara, Sasori or Itachi...not to mention Sai with his sports bra and pregnant-breastgrowing-Sasuke.But I would like another female character...and for all I care make her as ugly as possible, I still would like her (in fact, ugly characters rule!)...also I want a male Akatsuki with chest hair...and a grown up/old Akatsuki would also be nice.
-
Pssht. Itachi's a woman.
The time he must spend on primping to look beautiful…<_<
*edit: aaaaah! Somebody beat me to it ;D
-
There is a female Akatsuki member
Kishimoto himself confirmed it at a Jump Festa or somewhere like that -
Well, at least something happened…
Honestly, I say it again, the only reason I'm sticking with this series is to see the rest of the Akatsuki...
-

-
I found it. An interview from last year's Jump Festa. The blue are exact words of Kishimoto or something like that
@Sho:
A nicely designed person will soon make an appearance in Akatsuki.
And also a kunoichi of considerable strength.Q: When will Sasuke come into the story?
A: Umm… (it's here that one of the editors beside Kishi signal to him by crossing his arms to represent the letter "x")
…Please go listen there for that matter.Kishi's question and interview
Q: When will Sasuke make an appearance?
A: The managing editor is able to stop what comes out… so please go attack him.
Orochimaru is pretty much disliked.
They say that a character of that sort is usually liked, but even in the fan letters and things like that, it seems that he is very much disliked.Akatsuki…. a great character will now be coming. A woman will be too. Will be pretty strong (small omission).
Now from that, I don't know anything about this great new Akatsuki character, including the design or the personality. The strong kunoichi is being decided upon.
Is Orochimaru hated by anyone?–->Not by other Akatsuki members, but from the fans.
When will Sasuke make an appearance?--->(He) can't really explain or the (editing manager) will stop him.Summary
-On Akatsuki's side, there will be a person with a good character design and a strong kunoichi that will make an appearance (Kishi is full of confidence in them?).
-Kishimoto cannot answer about Sasuke's appearance, or he'll be stopped by the editor.
-Orochimaru is disliked by NARUTO fans.
.
.Questions to Kishi and interview
There were six of them, but one of them is already a memory that's flying away.Q- The history of Chiyo-baa and Sasori?
A- Sasori came out to be that particular way because of Chiyo-baa's indulgence of hm.~ that's what it seems.Q- Your favorite scene?
A- Gaara's revival? There were so many friends in that scene (I'll tell you to you straight.. I didn't read it so that's why I don't know any of this….sorry about that). I did it in order to write it down. I thought that when I wrote down something, then I do it.
Those were the things he was saying. -
Well, at least something happened…
Honestly, I say it again, the only reason I'm sticking with this series is to see the rest of the Akatsuki...
Speaking of Akatsuki- didn't Oro mention that one has infiltrated his base?
…and if Kishi wants to inroduce a new strong Konoichi, she had better not have big breasts & not another Sai clone...as well as not stuck up thinking she's the best and the others are trash, plus it would do good if she's a Mist Ninja and.... -
So there is going to be at least one kunoichi in Akatsuki. I am relieved.
-
Is naruto's spoiler out yet. I am actually curious to see what happens supirse suprise
-
SO what the hell happens in 309? without trans i have no idea what happend. He came… a brief fight ... they left ... goddmn and Sasuke is more powerful than Kyubi?!!!!!?1?1?!?!?! You're insane Kishi.
And the he says that Itachi is still more powerful than him... this is turning into utter crap... i wonder what's next... who's the next guy/girl with abilities is greater than the might if Kyuubi? probably the whol Akatsuki gang... bah <_<oh and Sasuke has THAT jutsu as well. oh boy.
-
soooooooo the chapter is out
soooooooo the ending was highly expected
soooooooo we need a translation
soooooooo yamato is actually pretty good. please, kishi, don't mess this up too, don't bring kakashi back yet, i want a big good fight involving yamato. -
Where can I get the chapter?
-
http://rapidshare.de/files/21933211/ch309_Vegitto.zip.html
Here. An boy, after an agonizingly drawn out re-introduction Sasuke leaves…AFTER 3 CHAPTERS! Damn. And he still isn't strong enough to fight the depressed Mr. 2 of the Narutoverse. -
I thought this chapter was quite good. It raised a couple of more questions. And I think it makes the taking of Sasuke body even more possible, unless Sasuke betrays Oro down the line.
Uchiha Madara? Who is that? How does Kyuubi know him? Is he the reason the Uchiha is one of the most feared clan in the world?
edit: Majic. Sasuke does not have power greater than the demon. He was able to supress his chakra that was all. Kyuubi mentions an accursed person and power by the name of Uchiha Madara.
Also this is clear assupmtion that Itachi is clearly stronger than Oro. Sasuke even states that.
I am much more curious about the history of the Uchiha now. Do u think Uchiha Madara is the one the first hokage fought at the valley of the end? That makes sense that they both have some power to control demon powers in a way.
SECOND EDIT: I got this from the narutofan forumn, but i thought this was interesting to share with you guys.
Anyone ever seen the anime movie or read the manga Madara?
Anyways, it's a nice little tribute by Kishimoto. Nothing to take too seriously, but it is interesting.
The Madara from the anime/manga Madara was the son of a demon king and a human, and wielded the sword of Kusanagi (there were two swords in that story, and they combined at the end which is something to think about).
Madara also had a half brother who was basically his arch-nemisis, but they helped each other in the final battle against their father.
It's also interesting to note that the series Madara also uses the term chakra to describe life energy. The chakra in that series was also utilized as a tool in fighting.
I'm guessing that Kishi must be a fan of the series to tribute it that much.
-
Uchiha Madara? Who is that? How does Kyuubi know him? Is he the reason the Uchiha is one of the most feared clan in the world?
Nobody knows wiggles fingers in a magical fasion
I think this will all serve to force Naruto to start using his own power rather than to keep relying on the kyuubi. It's like a pattern this manga has. Sasuke was the strongest and Naruto felt bad, then Naruto was the strongest and Sasuke felt like crap. Now it's reversed again. I think that Naruto will begin his training for his own power and soon, possibly at the climax of the series, he'll surpass Sasuke again (and beat Itachi?? dunno).
-
IF sasuke is more powerful the the Kyubi then I will probally give up on the manga as well.
-
This chapters had its pro's and cons:
Pro's:
-the kyuubi talking about the kyuubi was intresting…
-Yamato action(the best part of the chapter. It was short though.)con's:
- Sasuke leaving (i mean he showed up for 3 chapters and thats it >>, i am sorry 4)
- The mention of "that justu" again. God i hate that...
Anyway knowing how kishimoto mention the akatsuki* again they will probably show up now when naruto get back in kohona (hopes to god that more of the old genins will be involved!)
*= how do you pronounce akatsuki......i always used to pronounce it atsuki...but then i noticed it had a k in it >>
