Don't the Akatsuki have half a dozen tailed demons sitting around?

@Mr.:
Don't the Akatsuki have half a dozen tailed demons sitting around?
Actually its just seven. Something in my head tells me that the "eigth" will be like some sort of story of Naruto befriending them and then watching them get taken away making him the last one left…but that would probably be too predictable. (doesn't mean Kishi won't take it) Personally, I just want something, anything to happen now other than Sasuke standing up after this latest battle and going after another Akatsuki...heck, I'll even take Juugo at this point.
-
And to me that is completely the opposite of what I think he should do. All of your casualties, were killed by Konoha nin and you are going to attack them with your remaining members? He would lose all credibility to me. That is stupid. Attacking a ninja village with 30 people is stupid, but attacking with just 4 is just beyond stupid. Itachi told the members not to underestimate Gai and Kakashi or they will be killed. That is just two ninjas. They would never attack a village full blast like that without some type of betrayal from other konoha nins. Similiar to what happend with Diedra and Sasori in suna, they got in the village because Yuura killed everybody from behind.
In short, Konoha and most major villages have to many powerhouses to actually attack a whole village. Sneaking into a village and trying to capture somebody or attacking a squad of 4 people is one thing. They dont want to create a war unless they have an army behind them, which was his plan. So maybe you do have a point.
I loved how I just talked myself out of my whole argument. But yeah, in short, unless they round at least 50 or more nins they are not going to attack a ninja village head on. It was a reason they were all secretive while collecting the things they needed to collect.
I'm playing under the assumption that they have resources since they had spies in the Sand village and people to use as sacrificial lambs against Teams Kakashi and Gai during the 'Rescue Gaara' saga.
I'm also playing under the assumption that the remaining Akatsuki are damn powerful. Let's not forget Itachi slaughtered his entire clan at thirteen so even with Jiraiya keeping watch, I don't think he's going to turn the tides completely.
As for powerhouses in the leaf, I can only think of a few that would matter. Tsunade and Jiraiya obviously; Gai would be a problem as would members of the Hyuuga household; Kakashi I think is still bedridden so he wouldn't be 100% at least. As for the rest of the rookie 9 (or 12?), we haven't seen enough to consider them threats. Neji, despite being a Jounin has: got caught in a water bubble and fought himself. And Gai had to go six gates against a lesser version of Kisame to win implying that they aren't even close to the same level.
The attack can be justified and plausible a myriad of different ways, but I just want to see it because it would be something new, interesting, and unexpected. It would also give Naruto motivation to stop chasing Sasuke for awhile since Konoha's protection should be his no.1 priority.
Also, Akatsuki could just get into the village, wreck some havoc, place their watermark, then leave. Then rather than having to chase Naruto all over the place, he would search them out and save them a lot of trouble. If we learn anything from the book of Lobo, it's easier to make the prey come to you.
Of course it's all circumstantial; we're still knee-deep in Sasuke-thon, and I don't see an end to it for some time, despite Diedra's unfortunate demise.

@Tokoro:

math today…
9 pies of poo
-
Someone explain to me why in the last page of the recent chapter a modern city is in the foreground?
-
Chinese expansion.
-
I can't see shit with the quality of the raw I downloaded (yeah I wanted to see Deidara's last moments, sue me) but there's cyberpunk futuristic cities in the Narutoverse, so… Why not modern ones I guess.
-
That looks like the same city we saw like 10 chapters ago when Snake went to that weapons place.
-
Wow. I just DLed the raw, and this was probably the most enjoyable Naruto chapter since Morning Peacock. Deidara's death was well done, and his last words solidified him as one of the last characters I like in Naruto.
And Geg, do you mean that place with the cat people?
-
Yeah, the cat place. I think there was like a shot of a bunch of modern-looking buildings before they went in.
-
No he shouldn't, Gai is awesome. I'd rather Sasuke die than him.
Actually I was saying after Sasuke gets killed, Gai takes his place. Lol, that would be hilarious.
Anyway, I jsut read the scan, and well, if Sasuke dies, Naruto is getting bumped up over 10 levels to my number 2 manga. This was an awesome battle, finally the overused Akatsuki are getting killed and Sasuke is probably gonna end up dead or crippled. -
I love these stupid Cartoon Network commercials.
"AND NOT EVERYONE IS LEAVING THIS ONE ALIVE."
Yeah too bad everyone walks away from that Sannin three-way and pretty much nothing comes out of it.
-
That's because Naruto is Cartoon Network's TOTALLY EXTREME ANIME WITH BLOOD AND VIOLENCE.
-
@Cap'n:

HAHA
That was one of the reason's I didn't like that arc. Basically just a dramatic way for naruto to "master" the rasengan.
as for the chapter, Really enjoyed it. Want to see how sasuke survived that(You know he did.)
Pretty awesome that it showed him splitting an atom to create the explosion as well(at least that is what I thought I was looking at.
-
The Sannin fight would've been way better if someone had died, or something. Kabuto perhaps. It was still one of my favorite Naruto fights, second to Orochimaru vs. Sarutobi.
-
I really can't tell what that is. Is that an insect? A bunch of leaves?
Are his hands making out?
lmao…and the description of the cover page is
"Those intertwine tongues give birth to a new kind of beauty..."btw, his explosion looks weird
-
Has anyone else noticed that they have no nipples?
-
Real ninjas don't need nipples.
-
Yea, I guess they would kinda get in the way.
-
the extra weight of the nipples make them slower XD
-
Sasuke will survive from that "mysterious option" that he mentioned at the beginning of the chapter to Deidara.
-
Shit. Now Deidara's dead. There goes the best character of part 2.. (best naruto character of all time, I say)
Anyway, I'm hoping next week won't continue the Sasuke masturbation. ..I can see it now."HAHA, I WAS ABLE TO TELEPORT MYSELF USING THE SHARINGAN, I was also able to obtain ALL seven chaos emeralds, and then.."
Regardless, awesome fight, and Deidara went out like a man. I just hope him blowing himself up serves SOME kind of purpose.

from how the story is going…probably none :sad:
besides showing sasuke's new moves to evadebut who cares about sasuke...i want to see what tobi would do instead
-
Given how Sasuke's sword went through Tobi, the explosion probably won't affect him either.
And yeah Sasuke's probably going to survive via "that jutsu".
-
after reading the RAW and liking it
the next chapter is going to horribly horribly cheapen it
-
To be honest, the only jutsu that comes to mind that could get Saucy out of the blast radius is the fourth's Hiraishin no Jutsu/Flying Thunder God Technique. However, it could be a case of "with the sharingan all things are possible" part 43.

Yeah, you are right he does has resources. One thing people forgot during the Hidan and Kazu arc was the "explanation" chapter, he mentioned that he was building a mercenary ninja army so smaller villages can use it and pay them money for it. And as time goes on, he will eventually take out the bigger villages and have a monopoly on shinobi activity. That is another reason why they are collecting the bijuu. They are preparing for an eventual war and to weaken the other villages. He is not going to attack a major village with just a few people tho, that was my point.
I disagree with you about Konoha's power. I think they are extremely powerful. People under-rate some of their shinobi because they seem them alot or dont do too much. Look at Shika's dad for example, his son is this super genius that think of strategies like crazy and will become an eventual great tactician for Konoha in the future. Yet, he beat his son in chess, so just imagine what he can do. Chouji's dad was walking around as a giant during the konoha invasion. I could go on but Konoha have some strong shinobis they are not Akatsuki level or anything but they arent going to just be demolished. The two chuuni who was with Asuma and Shika, they had some clever and unique jutsus but because Kazu was a freak nature his head wasnt bashed in. Same with the two jounins who came with Ino and Chouji, that disguise bat jutsu and Radiou coming out of nowhere with the black coat would of tricked most people.
I really want a war arc that will showcase alot of the other ninjas in the naruto world. If AL plan comes close to happening, I will get a war arc. :wub:
-
I'm kinda looking forward to the next chapter, since whatever happens to Deidara, Tobi should do something to the weak Sasuke right?
-
@Geg:
Given how Sasuke's sword went through Tobi, the explosion probably won't affect him either.
And yeah Sasuke's probably going to survive via "that jutsu".
When did that happen?
Also, it's a sad state of affairs when one of the "best" characters in Naruto is an femboy who obsesses over explosions. Well, I'm still looking forward to Tobi.
-
The entire Naruto cast save Jiraiya and Gai is composed of femboys. What's wrong with femboys anyway? You may want to find another hobby if you have problem with guys looking like girls.
And loud, crazy, obsessed with explosions femboy >>>>> brooding, impassive, obsessed with revenge femboy.
-
Wow, did they use the Chinese scanslations for their own? That's pretty lame.
-
This actually was a great chapter in my opinion. Deidara really did go out with a bang, and his bomb had style too. Maybe Sasuke will survive but also be injured, like not being able to use Sharingan, which would bring an interesting twist to the manga. But in my heart, I'm just hoping he's dead forever.
-
(from mangahelpers.com)
Deidara's character is based on the famous Japanese artist Tarō Okamoto, who quoted 'Art is a bang'.
That final explosion is the outline of Tarō Okamoto's most popular artworks in Japan, called The Tower of the Sun.

Yeah, we kind of discussed that a few pages ago.
-
ORLY?
ah well, I didn't see it.

Oh, I know that anime is filled with femboys, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. However, I was refering to Deidara as a femboy who likes explosions cause–what more is there to him?
I hate him for the same reason some people dislike Sasuke--Deidara's scene's in the manga are my least favorite, second only to maybe the "Sai picturebook arc."
-
He has funny interactions with Tobi. His nonsensic rants about art are hilariously random. He's a hot blooded bastard. He makes stuff blow up.
For a Naruto character that's as good as it gets.
-
I always thought he felt out of place in a manga that takes itself so seriously, which is one of the reasons why I like him. He sort of reminds me of a really watered down Dark Schneider.
-
Good points all, though personally his interaction with Tobi pisses me off. That scene where they beat the three tailed beast, for example, makes me think that Tobi has something over Deidara that makes him jealous, as Deidara gave what was basically a "you're doing it wrong" speech. That type of egotiscally think is a little immature, I think.
-
Hating Gecko Moria because he is lazy and fat is pretty silly, since he's a great character. Hating Deidara because he acts a bit immature is about the same thing.

That seems normal enough, though. Being shown up by someone who shows the overall characteristics of a class clown would make a lot of people upset in some way. I don't think I need to say who made this painfully obvious already.

This post is deleted!

I disagree. To me, it would be natural to say "good job," whereas Deidara at that point was just making an ass of himself. I believe a real man gives credit where credit is due, regardless of how you feel about him.
-
I always interpreted that as Deidara being pissed off because he did all of the work and Tobi was just being a retard, unless I really missed something.
-
Yah, I don't seem to remember Tobi doing anything except acting like he did all of the work when all he really did was run away.
-
Tobi just hated his slacker partner. Don't see the problem with that, really.
-
@Mr.:

No, I recall Tobi saying "Hey, did you see that awesome jutsu!" which I imagine must have knocked out three tail. Sure, Deidara clearly must have helped, but still is seems like Tobi knocked it out and got the "killing blow". Here, this should be the page.
