I'm actually not surprised that the Uchiha can use the Sharengen to affect demons. Remember that When Sasuke left the leaf, during his flashback it talked about what the Sharengen was origanally meant for, but didn't say what it was. I'd say it's more like the Sharingen can be used as an emergancy shutoff, override for those who have demons in them. If so then any attempt by Naruto to fight Sasuke or Itachi with Kyubbis power would be doomed to faluire. I also find Kyuubi's telling Sasuke that he would regret it if he killed Naruto very intruiging. Either he values friendship more than we think, or he knows something about the Mangroyku that we don't.

I didnt like this chapter, after waiting so long for sasuke to appear the he goes again.
Then again sakura did nothing, she never does.
-
Sasuke leaving is the last thing i'd complain about. He was shown to satisfy the fan demands and now he can vanish again. I surely won't miss him.
-
Honestly, I was a bit happy that Sasuke overpowered kyuubi. Don't know why, but it made me happy. Him leaving was just as good, there is too much angst already.
Side note: Found this little flash that sums up Sasuke pretty good, shows up later in the flash. http://www.sheezyart.com/view/735459/
End side note -
There he goes..
There he GOES again..
Da da dadaI want "THAT jutsu" to actually turn out to be something that summons an inch of duct tape or something wonderfully useless. And while Naruto wonders what the hell just happend, Sasuke just punches him in the face.
I would regain ALL of my respect for this series if Kishimoto did that.
-
Ha, that reminds me of something me and my friends imagined. The ultimate attack: punch-in-the-face-no-jutsu! Simply comprised of making up a bunch of crazy hand signs and smacking the opponent while he is confused. If Sasuke ended up doing that, it would be FTW.
-
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.
I love how Orochimaru fears Itachi, but Jiraiya owned Itachi in about three seconds.
If their's another angst muffin of an Uchiha I think I just might give up on Naruto coming back as the kick ass ninja manga it was.
-
"THAT JUTSU"… I think Sasuke will rip off Sexy no Jutsu.
But his version would only affect Sakura and Sai, as he doesn't turn into a naked girl, just a naked Sasuke. -
@Luffies:

Naruto cover of the next volume. -
Why is everyone like "OMG HE OVER POWERED KYUUBI!111". Of course he did. Isn't kyuubi super-weak right now…..
Also i shall be buying that volume. When does it come out?*
(note: i will also be buying 29 because thats where part 2 was still good)
*= buying it to see if those chapters and fight will be better in the tankoban since they usually are...
-
Also i shall be buying that volume and that cover does look sweet. When does it come out?

I just reread part 2 for the hell of it.
Having them all at once didn't really improve the badness. -
Thoughts on this chapter:
1. Okay, Sasuke pwning the kyuubi kinda miffed me, but I'll give it to him since A. We don't know the full powers of the Sharingan yet, and B. The Kyuubi is still technically under a seal.
2. Well, Sasuke is just as idiotic and annoying as ever. He stated that for him revenge is everything and he doesn't really care what happens to his life to obtain it. Even if it means handing his body over to Orochimaru. smacks forehead
3. I agree that the power-balance is now ALL out of whack. It's worse than Bleach. Sheesh.
4. WOOT! Yamato! Nice to see he's still got some moves up his sleeves. Still the best new character of the post-time-skip.
5. Okay, now that we have the Sasuke re-introduction out of the way as well as the initial meeting with Orochimaru, can we PLEASE go back to Konoha and bring back those wonderful side-characters!? PLEEEEAAASSSE!!!?
-
I agree. I wanna see more Jiraiya dammit! Anyway, I thought this chapter was better than the last few; simply for Yamato performing some more wood attacks. But Sasuke gone already? And in a poof of cheesy flame no less. >.>
-
ok haven't read this week's chapter…but Sasuke overpowers the Kyuubi?
.
.
.
.
.
.
lame.I don't care if the kyuubi is under a seal or not. This "Sasuke is the most powerful" crap is annoying me. I mean seriously what has Naruto been doing these three years? Keeping Jiraiya out of the women's bath?
-
Well, he probably did do that too. If he wasn't peaking along with him. (I still want to see his new and improved Sexy no Jutsu)
I don't think it was Sasuke's power so much as the Sharingan. The kyuubi stated how it hated the Sharingan, so we can assume it has some sort of power over it.
-
I'm having a hard time beleiving Sasuke's revenge by this point.
Revenge is a deep emotion, no one who has his every day moment driven by it would be so casual and nonchalant as Sasuke is now.
And I REALLY don't beleive he would give his body to Oro for that purpose.
"We will kill him as one."
Sasuke is either a dumbass, or he forgot exactly how the body thing works.
Because its just Oro….in your skin. -
Sasuke is psychologically broken, that's what.
I think he forgot the "restore the Uchiha clan" part of his dream. Sheesh.
-
Well, that was kinda anti-climactic. I'm glad that the arc seems to be over, but after all the building up that went on… The confrontation seemed really, really dull. All I really got out of it was a cool moment with Yamato and a reminder of why I don't like Sasuke.
-

You had to be reminded? Oo
-
Lol @ "THAT jutsus".
-
I just reread part 2 for the hell of it.
Having them all at once didn't really improve the badness.hmm yeah maybe…I reread vol 29 the other day and i loved that volume. Gai and Kakashi kicked ass. Though when you move into the 30's sticks finger in back of mouth
I am hoping the orochimaru vs naruto fight will be better. goes off to reread it
-
kishimoto is slightly turning his manga into fanservice.
-
Slightly?
Sasuke is psychologically broken, that's what.
I think he forgot the "restore the Uchiha clan" part of his dream. Sheesh.
I'm guessing Kishimoto forgot it for the sake of making a vengeful "bad boy" for retarded fans to circle jerk over.

God i was bored…..

God and I thought the pacing could get worse / the story could get less interesting
Sasuke: Naruto I could wtfpwn you but the one who wears the balls in the relationship wants me to wait, so you can go power up.
-
This is turning into a bad shoujo action series.
ALL the villains are bishonens by this point (or at the very least feminine). I Theres a highly suggestive homoerotic obsession between the two male leads.
And theres an exceedingly average looking female lead who dosen't do anything but pretend to be a fighting character and obsess over the two male leads.Oh yhea, and Oro's probably gaying it up with Sasuke.
So yhea, bad shoujo action.
-
I've been reading through this thread to see if Naruto was actually worth reading now.
Wow, it isn't anymore from what everyone is saying. I never liked Naruto from the first place and now that it's getting worse and fanservicey then why bother?
Poor American fools. Once Shonen Jump gets to the time jump, the shit will hit the fan.

Actually its pretty muych when the Chunnin exam ends that grim realization will take place.
No direct offense to the Tsunade arc, but its dull.The shit hits the fan with the "Chase Sasuke arc".
Imagine the narutards agony as ….god how many issues of shonen jump will that cover? -

Well… there's umm... okay I've got nothing there, you have a pretty good point.
Although I thought the Orochimaru thing was pretty apparent a long time ago.
I don't really hate it though... It's definately worse than it used to be, but all of the recent arcs have still had their own really good moments. Although this reunion was definately the worst arc so far in my opinion. I liked it during the big fight near the start and Yamato's become one of my favorite characters, but after that it started to really bore me.

How long was the "Chase Sasuke" arc anyway? From my understanding of average Naruto fans it was long as hell and a "Jump the Shark" moment.

Less see…
Vol.20 was sort of its intro, where we get dialouge and build up to it.
Then from Vol.21 to 24 its straight fighting. Boring somewhat questionable power hierachy fighting that features not one but two fake deaths!
It also features the fanservicey aid team of Gaara and co.Then we have an intermission in Vol.25, which is an elongated "Itachi incident" flashback for Sasuke. It actually manages to cheapen the effect of Sasukes revenge.
From before you think "gee, Itachi is this sociopathic monster" but the flashback gives him more of a cynical angsty teenager angle. Its a bad flashback.
Then it all ends with the infaemous Vol.26.
Aka, the Super Saiyen battle where Naruto and Sasuke have the worst fight in world history.So its like 6 or 7 volumes of horror and cruelty to faithful readers who were sticking with the series in anticipation (me so long ago).
-
I acutally liked chase sasuke arc…..
While hated choji's and neji's fight i found kiba's and rock lees very intresting. The only problem i had was kinda the sand coming in. While it was really cool IMO. I felt like they should have worked together more especially rock lee and gaara.
sasuke vs naruto is probably my second favorite fight of the series (maybe...)
Although....i read the chase sasuke arc all in one go..
-
I felt like they should have worked together more especially rock lee and gaara.
Me too. If it wasn't for the fact that Rock Lee has just gotten out of surgery, I would have been pissed at the way that fight ended. I didn't mind much Gaara stepping in, though I did think Kimimaro had a rediculous power…
The Saucekay-in-a-bucket arc was ok for me though. We did get to see alot of the Konoho genin, and it was way more exciting than that Sanin-fight arc. Though Sasuke's CS2 form was hilarious.
-
Man, I guess I'm the only one who loved the Sannin fight. It's all downhill after that.
-
@Cap'n:
Man, I guess I'm the only one who loved the Sannin fight. It's all downhill after that.
And its all Sasuke's fault!

I'm actually a little impatient for this week's chapter. Mostly because I WANT THEM TO GO BACK TO KONOHA AND BRING BACK THE ROOKIE 9.
slim chance of happening, I know, but I can dream, can't I?
-
How much you wanna bet in 7 chapters were either running across generic forest landscapes or fighting?
-
slim chance of happening, I know, but I can dream, can't I?
Sure.
Although i've been dreaming all this time about good things but sadly nothing has happened:sad: yet -
boy do i hope this spoiler is true (i doubt it tho) for 310:
! sai dies because he failed his mission to anbu root. some sort of disease, maybe thats how his brother died as well. he leaves behind a message either for one of his picture or some sort of hidden meaning to sakura and naruto. i think he was going to be a part of team kakashi and finally have companions etc.
! if this is true then its kinda sad, i know a lot of people didn't like him. i was wondering if by any chance shisui uchiha died the similar way to sai's brother perhaps, since the uchiha cops said there was a suicide note.
! forget oro, naruto will probably go after danzou first. there might be a connection with anbu root and the uchiha.This was posted on narutofan. The other I think part is just part of the members opinion who posted it….

lol, how can you fall for it? it'll take half the chapter to bitch about sasuke and the other half to start leaving. nobody'll die yet.

you guys really didnt read my post well enough because i said i doubt it too. I just want
! sai to die
-
Yamato seems more likely to die, which would suck, since he's one of the few actually cool characters anymore. o_o
I say it again: I'm saying in this thing just to see the rest of the Akatsuki.
1. Okay, Sasuke pwning the kyuubi kinda miffed me, but I'll give it to him since A. We don't know the full powers of the Sharingan yet, and B. The Kyuubi is still technically under a seal.
Ditto. It's wierd, but… okay, I'll go with it for now...
5. Okay, now that we have the Sasuke re-introduction out of the way as well as the initial meeting with Orochimaru, can we PLEASE go back to Konoha and bring back those wonderful side-characters!? PLEEEEAAASSSE!!!?
YES, for the love of Oda, do so.
wants to see Shino and Kiba fight already
-
Well I think…
! that Sai SHOULD die. He's practically outlived his use since he's been converted by Naruto's strong 'feelings' for Sasuke. He should have tried to kill Sasuke and ultimately failing. Everyone and their grandmother's cat knew that Sasuke wasn't coming back willingly. His original plan of action was the most logical. I can only see them keeping him around to tell off Danzo, but that'll probably end up really cheesy. Not like Kishimoto isn't prone to leaving characters around after they've lived out their usefulness.
-
am I the only other person who thinks that Neji and Chouji
! should have stayed dead
and not been Dues Ex Machina'd by a previous arc
-
I argee with chouji, but not neji he actually had some improtance after the chase sasuke arc.
