I don't necessarily think she's dead. Asuma and Kurenai went off, there must be some significance, isn't there? And Hidan is praying. It's taking very long. I would think this is obviously to give an excuse to stall for time for some people to arrive.
Naruto Discussion!
-
-
We know she's not dead. That's why Hidan is prayin and sacrificing himself to appease his god cause he didn't kill her like his religion dictates.
-
Ah, thanks for the heads-up. If she's not dead, there's only one thing that she can be used for; an object to save.
-
I wouldn't mind that. We need more females characters anyway if they're baddass so much better. But we'll just have to wait and see what happens to her IF Kishi doesn't just forget about her :sad:
-
Finally, a chapter where we get to debate about what's gonna happen next instead of ogle at the stupidity of Sasuke. :P
And I agree with Majek, we do need more female characters, the only really strong ones are Temari and Tsunade (as we haven't seen Tenten or Ino fight yet in Naruto II) as of now. So I hope…what was her name Yumogi? Will be saved, especially since she's the first Cloud nin we've seen that might end up being a mian character.
-
ogle's the stupidity of Sasuke
the big question now is will it end with Aka or will Kisimoto pull another villian out of nowhere whose really pulling the strings
-
Does anyone know where I can find HQ scanlations of the last 5 chpaters?
-
There are none. Well for me that is.
-

I think there a scanlations on the Narutochaos site, they have scanlations even of chapter 313 and most of them are HQ.
Well the chapter was good, i don't think she is dead, don't they need her alive, to extract the biju.
And it seems like they have captured everybody except the nine-tailes. That is a big disappointment, so every jinchūriki is dead except Naruto, Gaara and if we are lucky the new girl. -
Decent, finally, though yeah, the fight did seem a bit too short. :/
-
Every jinchuuriki dead? I don't think so. Itachi said that they had captured two of them before Gaara, so if you count Gaara and the new girl then they only have 4 of the bijuu.
That leaves 4 more plus Naruto. I personally am really looking forward to the 5-tailed Dog who apparently is the Illusionist of the bunch.
-
Thanks for the sites, I also found a scanlation group called JapFlap, who scanlate Naruto as well.
Anyway this latest chapter wasn't bad, but when that chick said that she was the 2ND strongest, got me wondering what would happen if the strongest of the Cloud Ninjas went to rescue her. At any rate, Hidan is badass. -
The fact that she said 2nd strongest makes me think she must be referring to the Raikage as strongest.
still wants to see the other Kages
-
Yeah, I was thinking that she was referring to the Raikage. I'm praying that they will show up soon.
And I'm so glad more akatsuki have shown up! Are there anymore that we don't know about? I haven't really been counting.
-
@Rixile:

Two.
The leader plus anothe rone. -
Yeah the supposed female.
-
Speaking of which, if you look back at the chapter where that skull head first appears at the Akatsuki's lair some 30 or so chapters back, you'll see a kid with Sharingan.
-
Itachi?
-
^
yes it was itachi. Then kisame and him used that justu or w/e and fought gai and kakashi and 30% and lost
-
Concerning the number of jinchuuriki that have been supposedly "dealt with" by Akatsuki.
On the last page Kakuzu says that they "have one more left…" Now that could be interpreted a few ways. First, it could mean as others have said that Naruto is now considered the last jinchuuriki that Akatsuki requires. It could also mean that perhaps that Naruto is the only remaining jinchuuriki that the Hidan/Kakuzu pair is responsible in obtaining. This might make more sense since it seems that each Akatsuki pair moves independently. They would send out several pairs in attempt to capture each jinchuuriki. It seems plausible with the sole exception that if I'm not mistaken, Hidden Leaf village is pretty far away from Hidden Cloud village.
I don't think that Kishimoto would kill off this two-tailed jinchuuriki character right after introducing her. What would the point of that be? For Kishimoto to dangle this new powerful kuinoichi in front of our noses just to mock us? Maybe she's too powerful or something. Whatever. Try not to suck, Kishimoto.
-
^Good point it would be interesting to see other Jinchuurikis so long as Naruto doesn't change them
@Last 2 posts: No, no not Itachi it's…go to chapter 238 & look at the silhoutte of one of the members and zoom in on his eyes.
-
Ar you referring to this guy.
He is the akatsuki leader.
Trivia- A mistake by the scanlation group Inane led readers of the Naruto manga to believe the Akatsuki leader possessed the Sharingan. However, high quality versions of the manga revealed that what was thought to be the Sharingan was simply image distortion.
Wikipedia trivia is always helpfull
-
The Akatsuki leader sort of resembles Shino, in my opinion.
-
So Beavis and Butthead continue to butt heads. Amazing. And Asuma is the son of 3rd? :OOOOOOO or at least directly related to him. Holy fuck. And he's gonna fight soon again B&B probably.
oh there's Naruto training too. So the goal is the ultimate chakra control or so i understand it. You control the shape and the nature( so change it into whatever you wish eh ) Might turn out to be quite good. But i wonder why didn't Pervo teach him that hmmm.
-
Oh man, I've wanted to see Asuma fight for a long time, ever since I saw his awesome brass knuckles/kunai.
Shit, I'm getting pulled back in to Naruto.
-
The whole Konoha Temple thing seemed hella random….
I thought ninjas were kings of intelligence...
So why is the only reason they're going to find out about a major temple of thier country being destroyed going to be a single monk who luckily survived?I don't care about Naruto training..
I don't care about ozmgods demons tails.
And I don't care about Kishimoto randomly linking characters.But I do like Bill and Ted's (as they will henceforth be called) excellent adventure.
Honestly, just turn it into a screwball sitcom about a bunch of supervillain ninjas Kishimoto. -
Wait so asuma is 3rds kid, then that means konohamaru is asumas kid gags
Pretty awesome though That was the highlight of that chapter.
I argee with zephos that temple was random as hell.
I liked how we found out that guy is obssessed with money kehehe
-
So Hidan and Kakuzu are going to crash random places in Fire Country looking for Naruto? Hilarity. It's not like he's hard to find. Believe it.
So on top of Asuma being closely related to the 3rd, he is (or perhaps was) also one of the twelve elite ninja guards for the Fire Country lord. He's got the same sash that that monk had. Guess he's THAT DAMN GOOD.
-
Thats what I mean, I hate these ….SUDDENLY I'M A FORMER MEMBER OF THE SUPER SO AND SO. (dadadaduuuuuun)
If anyone was wondering, Hoodsie is Bill, and Malfoy Palpatine Clone is Ted.
-
I'll stay with my naming thank you.
And hey Kakashi is also the Oh so best of them all in ANBU why shouldn't Asuma get to be one too?
-
Well, Asuma had the name Sarutobi since he was introduced, so it isnt a surprise that he is somehow related to the third.. ^^
-
I love the two new Akatsuki guys.
Kakuzu aka Bill= money minded freaky dude
Hidan aka Ted = cranky "Don't disturb me!" dude -
Zephos u are forgetting some fine details. The temple is the temple of the fire country not the temple of Konoha. Konoha is a hidden village inside the fire country. Konoha, the village of leaf, protects the fire country. There are many villages in the fire country. The monks are suppose to protect the leader of the fire country it seems.
It is not random as you think it is. They talked about alot of this stuff during the chuunin exams.
-
asuma the thirds son? wow.Thats the only thing i like dform this chapter.
-
The Konoha temple… kind of came out of nowhere. It seemed kind of random. Like, "hey, next I'll have them destroy a temple full of monks. That'll show how mean they are."
-

And the only reason they're going to know it was completely destroyed was because of one chance surviving monk.
And I wOULD LOVE TO SEE where they mentioned the temple, and 12 guardians during the good Naruto part.
-
Well, Asuma's last name when he was introduced was Sarutobi, so the idea was always there.
-
Right…changed.
-
So let me get this straight:
Konoha is the military branch of the Fire Country that protects everyone?,
WHEREAS…
The Konoha Temple we just saw is for the security of the leaders and politicians that RUN the Fire Country?
-
@Cap'n:

He was? Even in anime? I haven't read the mange before the Sasuke runaway arc and i don't really remember hearing/seeing it in the anime

Don't think too hard about it. It was just cannon fodder which won't mean anything.
In a better series we'd see reprecussions, and a manhunt, maybe even the fire lord getting in a huff.
But the camera prefers to focus on well sculpted bishonen ass at this point. -
I thought this was a pretty good chapter, actually.
The temple thing was kinda out of the left field, but if it results in some character development and backstory for Asuma, then I've got no complaints.There was also an unusual amount of things going on, the animators might be able to stretch this out for longer than 2 minutes.
Edit: It's also cool to see Kakuzu getting a more established character… even if it's kinda one dimensional. I hope there's more 3-way discussions beween him, Hidan and Zetsu in the future.
-
Though it's a bit sudde, I'm really glad things are finally beginning to turn around in this manga. Though I hate that darn cliffhanger~
-
I agree that the Ninja Temple was a little odd and sudden, but it doesn't seem to be directly under Konoha. Rather it seems to be under the Fire Lord himself. Either way, it's gone, no biggie in terms of plot.
I too was a little surprised that Asuma was really the Third's son. Everyone knew he had to be a relative of some kind (bearing the name Sarutobi), but son was unexpected. And it is son, in Japanese when he said "kakkoii oyaji dattayo." the kanji says "chichioya" meaning father. And incidentally, there's no guaruntee or likelihood of Konohamaru being Asuma's kid. I believe he's too young to be his father (he would have had to been in his teens). And the Third could have easily had more than one child, making Asuma Konohamaru's uncle.
thinks Asuma, if I remember correctly, is still in his mid-to-late 20s, which would mean that the Third would have sired him later in his life. (he was at least in his 60s when he died, more likely 70s)
Ah damn, Naruto's actually starting to be intriguing again!
-
Asuma is also one of my favourite characters in the show solely for his little fight during the Invasion Arc
god he was more badass than most of the cast could be together
cheers for more Asuma
-
he seems pretty cool.. he they are talking spanish.
-
only web video of that fight, which since its a fight the talking isn't all that improtant
-
Konoha is like a military that fights for the fire country. How often does the military protect politicians? Not often. That is usually the CIA or the Secret Service.
They didnt have to mention 12 guardians in the past. WE had to know the fuedal Lord had to have guards or he would be getting killed and kidnapped all the time.. Remember Kisame got in the bingo book because he killed the fuedual lord in the water country?
Also look at this translation:
Kakuzu: Especially the one with the 30 million ryou bounty on his head…he was the leader of a elite squad that USED to protect the Fire Country's lord, "The 12 Ninja Guards"
Hidan: 12 Ninja Guards?
Heheh...sounds pretty cool.
Kakuzu: Don't get lazy, or you're dead.
Hidan: Stop SAYING thatThis is a FORMER group. There was no need to mention it. I am sure there are many former groups in the past. Asuma use to always carry the signal of the 12 guards, It seems he left Konoha when he was younger to become a member and he came back some time later.
Akusti also said that is was a fire temple, but it should be a ninja temple because the main monk use to be the leader of the 12 guards and he trainded the monks in some type of ninja arts.
The man hunt would be done by KONOHA! That is the fire countrys military power. Konoha is under the fire country.
We learned during the chuunin exams that the country of wind was cutting forces away from the hidden village of sand. The sand was not happy about it because they had to cut back on training ninjas because they didnt have enough money to afford it.
This temple was not that important for the fuedal lord to go crazy about. This is just like if a church got bombed in America. I mean people would be looking for the people who did it but it wouldnt hurt the goverment any. They were a religous group, like most monks are. They just happed to be trained in ninja arts because of there leader. Who use to be one of the 12 guards.
I dont see how people are complaining about this. This is no more random than than CP 1 cp 4 or cp 9 in one piece.

Ha ha, when regular ninjas aren't good enough…
-
The Temple thing kind of seemed out of the blue, but it gave Kakuzu a little more depth, and made Hikan and Zetsu even weirder. I hope Naruto gets a decent jutsu, it would suck if he got something stupid.
Called it, Asuma is Sandaime's son (or foster son at least); does that make Konohamaru Asuma's son. Hmmm…
