Yeuck. Compared to OP's last three weeks Naruto has been looking pretty sickly. :ninja:
Actually, anything looks poor when compared to OP's last three weeks. One Piece has just dominated ever other shonen these past weeks.

Hey
I just saw the 9th opening and I LOVE the song but the animation doesn't do to much for me even though it is different and interesting :happy:
I was just wondering though if there are any direct download links to it yet? I've seen it on Youtube but I would like to download it in better quality.
Thanks
I usually use gendou but it apparently isn't done yet….but meh, I wish it was.
Shika is still smoking. And life goes on. I guess.
And thus Shika begins his addiction to cigarettes.
I wonder what the dub will chnge this like:
Shikamaru: I'll have Asuma senseis spirit live inside me by stealing his lollypop! <takes the="" lollypop="" out="" of="" asumas="" mouth="">Sniff this lollypop tastes so good, it makes me cry! I might grow addicted to it! Too bad Asuma senseis lollypops cause lung cancer in the long run!
</takes>

What are you talking about? They smoke in the Naruto dub…
Oh yeah, ultimate proof that Sakura sucks:
In video games, her moves are like 50% Inner-Sakura nonsense. Then she'll do something generic with shuriken or genjutsu or something.
because only Asuma smoked. He's an adult but Shikamaru is 15.
I've seen guys go to Hero's day at school dressed up as Kakashi.
Next thing you see, people will dress up like Shikamaru and start smoking and throw their shadows at their teacher till they find out taht it won't stop them.
Wow. That was the biggest surprise ever. Now the rasengan has slight edges coming out of it. What will he think of next?
By the way, is Shika a wind element too?
i don´t think so,kakashi said that only Asuma is another wind element user in Konoha(i´m not sure though)
i think you can put any kind of chakra in that blades
Hm, I don't remember Asuma being the only other one. But I think you're right on the chakra blade thing.
Just finished reading the full chapter
And just like I said inn my previous post nothing really new happened
It was a lame chapter, Kishimoto killed Asuma just to have Shikamaru becoming a new Asuma
Naruto again uses the Clones
This is getting nearly was bad was the fillers in the anime
Come on put the guy that drew the cyberpunk background in charge
Just finished reading the full chapter

Man, how different some boards are. I just came from Narutofan to get the download and the entire board is practically creaming themselves over Shikamaru's smoking and blades. All I've read about is how he's Batman, Chuck Norris and Thanos; how godly he is, how much ass he's gonna kick when he becomes hokage. It's like all the Sasuke fanboys migrated.
Whatever happends next, I just hope we get to see someone who can actually deliver a descent fight scene before those guys go off for revenge or whatever. I don't want two consecutive battles of stand still no jutsu's.
Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't see what the bid deal is about this capter.
I wonder why that is
the board isn't called Narutofan for a reason
oh and everyone who frequents that site is crazy without exception.
Does anyone know if there's a topic called
One Piece's Latest Chapters Outgrowing Naruto's?
If not, is there one close to that? I want to read it hehe.
its probably a lot about how much they are going to kill the Topic creator because he has an opinion.
I wonder why that is

I know what the board's called. I meant that I was plesantly suprised that the Shikamaru hype didn't spill over here like it did the other manga boards.
Naruto isn't exactly popular around these parts. While I enjoy it, I have to admit its hit a real bad slump as of late (worse when compared to the last 4 weeks of One Piece), but I haven't given up on it yet.
I'll get excited about Naruto again once the Akatsuki either, lose some more members, or an important character gets killed off.
Im guessing Team 10 is off to go fight Hidan…
This was an okay chapter. Seen better, seen worse.
Looks like Shikamaru's got some kind of shadow blade now. That's pretty nifty I suppose, but it will cut down on his tactical moves if he has a straight up offensive one. Hopefully not…
You're next Konohamaru! Bwahaha!

Welcome to our world. Here's a cookie
@Le:
Welcome to our world. Here's a cookie
Impudence. How dare you insult me by offering me a cookie. I'm ruler of the world, I have no time for such bufoonery. Now, off to the Netherworld with you. Ya Ha Ha (by the way, that cookie tastes mighty fine, needs salt tho)

I'm not crazy…
Personally I don't really see the big deal either... I mean first off Asuma's death wasn't even emotional because it was too predictable... After all if we knew he was going to die then it's no surprise that he did.
Now everyone is creaming over Shikamaru of course... I don't see the big deal. Last time we saw Shikamaru crying like a baby it was chapter 236 I believe. Now we're near a hundred chapters later only to see Shikamaru cry again and instead of doing anything constructive to improve his own skills he instead becomes a mini-Asuma clone.
I mean what next? Is Kishimoto going to make Shikamaru just another "run-in with fists a flying" character like Asuma pretty much was? Well I guess if that does happen we can kiss what little strategy Kishimoto actually put into this series goodbye.
I'll bite and say that smoking seems to fit Shikamaru's character. Though I don't know what's up with the 'dark chakra' bull that everybody's going on about.
Just read it.
I thought the "wtf?!" faces only naruto and kakashi was well drawn. I like shikamaru, ino, and choji are getting development and going to get revenge. Cool stuff.
Naruto has learned some progress, though frankly I am disapointed. It's pretty much ransengan with 3 clones a sharp ball. =/
I thought this chapter was well done as a chapter, but the whole death of Asuma does feel a little flat.
However it does mean we will, hopefully, be seeing more awesomeness from Team 10 and possibly other characters. Something I have been DYING FOR for the past year.
Now we have to do SOMETHING with Team 8. Their poor teacher is heartbroken, it's time for them to take action and do something! Even if it's just trying to cheer her up.
But yeah, Rasengan = boring. It's just a smaller Kamehameha.
Last points:
1. Well, it was confirmed that Asuma was Konohamaru's uncle, not father or whatnot.
2. I'm not thrilled about Shikamaru smoking, but I can see why he did it. It just seems a little . . . . . . . cliche.
Well everyone who dies picks up a trait of someone close to them in naruto.
Obito died and he was always late. Now kakashi is always late.
Asuam died and he smoked. Now shikamaru smokes.
I'm looking forward to Shikamaru development.
After I read the spoiler, I was like blah at the chapter. But after reading the chapter, it was much better than I expected it 2 be.
I thought Naruto would use those blades, now Shika is using them.
Kishie did a decent job with this chapter. I wouldnt say much happend, but alot of character development was done.
So did this mean Kurenai was Asuma's King?
Team 10 is going to kick some ass, Hidan is going to lose his head again if they find him.
This was probably the best chapter in this whole arc it brought the whole shogi thing in full circle. Asuma was the sacrificial pawn. And now looking at the game that Shika is playing by himself, the knight is in position to kill the rook or the bishop. It was a nice lil tid-bit Kishie put in.
Shika character changed alot in this chapter. It is sad how Shika had more character development in one chapter than Naruto had all of Part 2 so far. This manga might have been a little better if it was just called Konoha and focused on many people.
this chapter was ok because of shikamaru who's awesome. even kishi can't mess him up.
wasn't naruto out of proportion and stupidily big at the funeral?
now if we can have shika & co kick some ass for a few chapters and forget naruto and his boring training, things might be good.
I hope not. Those three (and Kiba sans the giant dog that just looks cool) have the most boring jutsus.
So did this mean Kurenai was Asuma's King?
Um, Kurenai is a woman, and a near tertiary one at that.
The way things are going, I guess we'll have to wait till Konohamaru dies before we find out who his dad is. Not that I care, but it's funny how Asuma's family members are only acknowledged after it becomes to late for to capitalize on it.
I mean, he's his uncle but he never said to words to him in the whole series. Even when Sarutobi died it was Naruto and Iruka shown comforting the kid.
Heh, Naruto actually looks badass without the orange pajamas and headband.
Other than that… Yeah. Nothing much happend as usual, but there was a couple of redeeming scenes. I thought the scene with Shika telling Kurenai about the death was very well done and it's always good to know we'll see more of Shikamaru. Here's hoping he really gets development and new skills, not like Naruto.
Heh, Naruto actually looks badass without the orange pajamas and headband.
Thought that too when I saw it
Maybe Naruto should join Akatsuki at least the clothing style seems cooler
Konohamaru now it's you turn :devil:
Now hopefully we'll have several chapters of Team 10 ass kicking without the interference of Naruto's Rasengan with edges training. I can't wait to see Shikamaru use those trench knives, I wonder what kind of chakra he uses.
I thought the scene with Shika telling Kurenai about the death was very well done and it's always good to know we'll see more of Shikamaru.
I totally agree, that was probably the best part of the whole chapter.
I sorta pity Konohamaru. Not only has he lost two people in this series, but you'd think he'd get more screen time about this death than what he did.
Well if he ges more screen time then he's gonna die. Do you really want that to happen =P
Blues, just because she is a female doesnt mean much. King is just a shogi metaphor. A important person you want or need to protect.
I dont think that Naruto pic was out of proportion. You forgot he got taller over the time skip? He is still smaller when next to Kakashi. Naruto looks much better without the head band and with regular clothing.
Sakura looked out of proportion in that pic unless she gained some weight. lol
I am pretty sure Hidan is doomed now. Shika was studying and preparing strategy. He knows Hidans tricks and etc. Hidan is doomed to death or to be a talking head in Shika's living room.
Sakura looked out of proportion in that pic unless she gained some weight. lol
Yeah. I'm pretty sure she gained weight.
Hidan's head would look great on the mantle.
@Le:
Yeah. I'm pretty sure she gained weight.
Hidan's head would look great on the mantle.
Maybe Naruto finally knocked Sakura up or something…
Nah like THAT would ever happen...
Heh there probably won't be anything left of Hidan to use as a mantle after they're done with him..
I'm not crazy…
you just don't know it…..cues spooky music
yeah I really can't see those blades helping Shikamaru's fighting style unless his next move is giving the shadow physical form (although that'd be like a Stand)
Shika with a shadow "stand" would kick ass, not to mention it fits with his character since he's so lazy. Cool idea Taleran
then he'd complete the check list
Paper test = HxH
Waterfall attacking = Saint Seiya
Stand = JJBA
hmmmmmm

Actually some people have said they've been ripping off JJBA for a while…I remember someone making comparisons of the Tsunade arc to something involving Lisa Lisa in pt. 2...but that's hear-say so don't take it literally.
Tsunade does resemble Lisa Lisa a bit, but I think that's just as case of strong female characters in general.

Let's not forget the obvious powerups that come from dbz.
Not to mention Naruto acts like Goku….............
Goku isn't THAT bad.
Actually I put that comment to see if I could get a certain reaction out of people. But it wasn't the reaction I expected.
@Cap'n:

yeah maybe a bit, but they fight an entirly different way
I am liking this chapter more and more. Shika going to the library and reading books just excites me. He is for sure planning something and I can not wait to see what he does.
He should of took some soldier pills with him cause he run out of chakra quicker than most people.
The scene with his dad looking behind him says so much to me. He finally see his son being commited to something. Compare this to the end of part 1. He was very dissapointed in his son on how he handled everything when the capture sasuke mission was over. He told him stop crying and just get stronger. And this chapter just brings everything in full circle. Instead of crying and being pitiful, he is looking up stuff and studying battle plans and training his body and mind. His dad looks proud.
This chapter made me a Shika fan. They should rename this manga to Shikamuru.
