Not sure if it was meant that way, but… eww…

Well in the fillers, Naruto can already throw the rasengan. So I heard.
IF he just learns that in the manga, that would be stupid and redundant. He can just use a cutting wind jutsu that would be better than throwing a ball.
If Asuma really dies, Naruto should get his knives. That'd make him a bit cooler. But since this is Kishi this will never happen.
Naruto is unique. He is a lame main character while most of the side characters are cool or interesting.
Well, I'd take that combo attack over ramen jokes any day.
Errr…is it just me or does Rasengan look like a ball with a scribble in it? I seem to remember it looking cooler originally, and yeah I think I've seen both Jiraiya and Naruto throw the Rasengan.
Hidan's expression in the last chapter was priceless.
It looks like they've already killed Hidan. :( We see him fight for… well, we never really saw him fight... more cannon fodder.
It better not be another damn clone like Itachi or Kisame again.
Uhh, who is Hidan again?
Hidans the guy thats like "ow…"
Hes not dead rofl.
Hidan reminds me of the guitar guy from KH2.
That'd depend. To me, it looks like Hidan's still under Shika's control, and that's the only reason why he's still standing up.
Do you see his expression? Thats like a scoff. Like "Sigh…you guys suck." I cant imagine an Akutsuki getting defeated that easily.
What exactly does Asuma mean by "One Down" then? You don't see the surprised look panel that happens after the character notices that they didn't down the enemy.
well killing him is easy. It's him staying dead that is the problem
Hmm…I actually enjoyed this chapter! Why you ask?
1. Naruto got hurt. Always good.
2. Shikamaru and Asuma got some action/will be getting more action next chapter!
3. No Sakura or Sai (huzzah!)
4. Hidan was pretty badass in that last panel.
Looking forward to what happens next!
edit: Holy crap, 3000th post! Yeah me!
@yokaiforte:
That'd depend. To me, it looks like Hidan's still under Shika's control, and that's the only reason why he's still standing up.
Actually in the chapter Kakuzu (Hidan's partner) said that the reason they are partners is because Hidan is the only one Kakuzu can't kill (he kills when he gets mad). Kakuzu clearly says, "The guy doesn't die."
Hence the really bored look on Hidan's face at the end. Asuma may think he's down, but he's not. Cause apparently you can't kill him. (not like that anyway)
And once again Kishimoto shows us that Akatsuki is the only reason to keep reading Naruto. Hidan may oust Deidara as my favorite Akatsuki member.
Yeah, I'm gonna retract my last statement.
Asuma group vs. Hidan Kakuzu pair looks a helluva lot more interesting than Naruto trying to upgrade the Rasengan AGAIN.
Well Hidan was like "That Hurt, who are you people" at the end, so he is NOT HURT at all!!
I totally agree that Akatsuki is the ONLY reason to be reading Naruto right now.
And now we know Naruto can go tailed very easily when he is "upset", man he needs to control his emotions better!
Since when did Naruto ever have control over his emotions anyway…
That's why Naruto is not as good a manga as OTHER Shounen Jump series!!
And now we know Naruto can go tailed very easily when he is "upset", man he needs to control his emotions better!
That sounded like something out off Star Wars.
Who knows maybe we are lucky and Naruto fals into some lava.
…so how does adding wind to the rasengan make Naruto surpass Kakashi again?
Hidans the guy thats like "ow…"
Hes not dead rofl.
Hidan reminds me of the guitar guy from KH2.
Haha, really? Demyx? I can't see it XD
What I'd like to know; is Shikamaru using an advanced Kagemane or something? Because he's not standing in the same pose as Hidan, not was he disconnected when Izumo and Kotestu stabbed him. So is it a new and improved kagemane do you guys think?
More Akatsuki VS Team Asuma and less Naruto XD His training is so boring =_=""
I'd have to say yeah; Shikamaru's probably got a big bag of new techniques. I've always liked his fights, mostly because their was a strategic element that made them more interesting.
I'm reading Naruto for four reasons, Akatsuki, the possibility of Jiraiya beating some Akatsuki ass, Shikamaru, and the promise of some ShikaTem action. Particularly the second and third one.
I still read Naruto because it was my first manga and I love alot of the characters. And also it still has potential to turn around into a good story arc.
Lee, Neiji, Shika, Shino and etc are all good and unique characters. They need more screen time. Naruto ,he has his moments, but he is so dumb.
I use to like Sasuke before the rescue sasuke arc. I still like his character but he seems rather different now. He needs more time 2.
Also the art work is pretty good, he draws good fight scenes with different angles.
About the rasengan thing, it just makes him better than Kakashi when it comes to adding nature manipulation. Thats all. Naruto is still 2 inexperienced even if he learned 50 jutsu during this training arc. He needs to learn how to use them.
I agree with dlo, Naruto has a few moments but the side-characters are the real attraction. As for Sasuke, I'm indifferent to him, don't really hate or like him. Yeah, Kishi is quite decent at drawing fight scenes, although lately they haven't been that good. But still, I fail to see how using the wind element will make Naruto better. Maybe there's more to it. But still the Asuma Akatsuki fight is pretty good so far.

Yes, the artwork is so great…
On the Kakashi thing, he said himself that this training would give him the ability to surpass Sasuke and maybe even Kakashi himself. So I'll just ask what yokaiforte asked earlier.
How does adding wind to the rasengan make naruto surpass Kakashi?
Hi
Sorry for my complete randomness here but I was hopeing if somebody could please possibly tell me…
A) Whether there are any Japanese Naruto Character Singles out there and where to find them?
and
B) Where the best place to download Naruto sub episodes/movies from?
Thanks
B) I watched the entire subbed version of Naruto on youtube.
@Kidany:
How does adding wind to the rasengan make naruto surpass Kakashi?
I think to my understanding, adding elements to jutsus are extremely hard and not a lot of people can do it (and the next thing you know everyone will be using elements in their jutsus ….) Adding wind to the rasengan will make the rasengan stronger than before and be able to do various things (which will be decided by the author). But Kakashi is only talking about how Naruto can surpass him only in the adding element area! Not overall area. It's true at the end of the manga Naruto will surpass everyone and be Hokage, but just not right now.
As for the questions
A) Try Nipponsei for songs and singles
B) Hunt around Narutofan.com and you'll definitely find it.
To me at the moment Naruto just seems like a wounded horse that the owner just refuses to put down.
If Akatsuki was actually interesting it'd probably still be worth reading but I just don't like any of the Akatsuki members. They just come off as annoying instead of badass ninja masters. Heck even Itachi comes off that way these days.

Kakashi already has at least two elemnts in his bag, shown in his manipulation of water against Zabuza and his Raikiri, with his natural ability for raikiri. Sasuke already has two elements.
And the purpose of this arc was for Naruto to develop a new technique. Merely adding wind to the Rasengan ain't exactly a new technique.
Surpassing Kakashi is still a long way to go by any measure.
As for sasuke, I find him just a teeny bit better than Shinji from NGE.
And the artwork has degenerated from its original perspective. From scribbly Rasengans to lack of value.
I don't care really if naruto's main new technique is the wind ransengan I just wish he would have some other technqiues of the side. Like shoving the wind in the guys face causing him to go flying or getting asumas knives when he dies like that other guy here said.
well Shika and Asuma being in a a battle together could signal a
Death to give other character strong resolve to win the fight
Yeah maybe like shikmaru will get mad or sad and finally beat hidan or someone, I just hope this fight doesn't go wasted. Like 6 chapters later and the fight ends, but no one from the akatsuki dies. That would be lame. Hopefully one of the two guys will die.
I'm gonna take a stab…. and say that the female akatsuki member and akatsuki leader are gonna show up so that Shika's gonna continue his streak of fighting only females.
Or maybe…KAKUZU's a woman!
@Mr.:
Or maybe…KAKUZU's a woman!
Hey, didn't I already say that once?
This is the first time in weeks I'm looking forward to a new Naruto. Yeah Akatsuki, keeping the narutard in me alive! (barely)
Oh, and I hope that the leader and other member don't show up. Then Asuma and Shika (and those two other guys) would be seriously f*****. They're already fighting a guy that can't die.
The last man standing will be Shika and he gets promoted to jounin after this mission.
Kakashi lied to Naruto, but also he said Naruto could be stronger than the 4th in due time. And 4th> Kakashi, so it wasnt that big of a lie. This is just a solid step in accomplishing that.
Personally, I"m a bit disappoitned in the whole Wind Rasengan thing. Though that judgement is open to change pending the jutsu that occurs from it all. however, what I did like was the idea that creating your own personal and unique jutsu was a way to make yourself much stronger. That was a neat method of powering up in my opinion. I liked it enough I didn't mind the deux ex machina of the Clone memory thing as it provided a useful shortcut to move things along quickly.
It would have been nicer if the new jutsu was more like… using chakra to create a whip made out of wind or something like that. You know something long ranged. I can't see why we need Rasengan 2.0
What I'd like to know; is Shikamaru using an advanced Kagemane or something? Because he's not standing in the same pose as Hidan, not was he disconnected when Izumo and Kotestu stabbed him. So is it a new and improved kagemane do you guys think?
I was wondering the same thing. It's either a new variation of the jutsu or Kishimoto forgot about how Shikamaru and his victim are one in Kagemane, thus chalking it up as yet another plothole in Kagemane no Jutsu. (I'm betting on the latter, but I might be wrong…... I hope I'm wrong)
Cause I was wondering how Hidan got stabbed, and Shikamaru showed no signs of pain. Even if psycho-boy is immortal, Shikamaru should still get hurt from the stab wounds. I hope Asuma fights against Hidan and that Shikamaru doesn't get much of the spotlight because I'd like to see another secondary character besides shadow boy fight for once.
Seeing, Chouji, Neji and Kiba fight on their own (without Naruto involved in the fight) against the Sound was one of the best things to ever happen to this series. And most recently the fight of Team Gai against Kisame, that was the arguably the one of the best fights in current Naruto (along with Gaara vs. umm... Clay guy). Now I'd like to see Ino fight on her own, cause her family jutsus have the most potential of being considered invincible and most lethal.

How does that work? I don't think Shika gets hurt when his opponent gets hurt, or he never would have won against that sound nin girl.
that's not what he said when naruto punched garra >>.
I guess the fight between the Sound Girl and Shikamaru was so pathetic because I never even realized that Shikamaru didn't get hurt along with the Sound Girl.
I was under the impression that he released the jutsu right before she hit the wall. But it's been awhile since I've seen/read that fight, so.. I dunno.
No if you remember the Kagemane makes the opponent copy the person's moves. So the only way Shikamaru would have been hurt back during his fight with Kin is if he would have let her kunai hit him.
There's nothing about it hurting the user. That's the shintenshin that does that.
wind rasengan = kamehame-ha. Otherwise it'll be graphically the same and completely uninteresting. And most likely he'll start doing rasengans one-handed. He'll be sprouting typhoons from his hands and he'll beat akatsuki boss with a big ball of wind gathered with the energy from all Konoha.
My biggest problem with Naruto was my expectation that after three years with the coolest ninja around he'd be back summoning frogs and doing crazy jutsus. And we get a bunch of kage bunshins and a big rasengan. Nice.
Still kinda shocked that that spoiler chapter was a fake. Sounded much better than the real thing.
I still havent lost hope, that maybe it will be a cool jutsu and not just a bigger Rasengan or some kamehame-ha ripoff. I know it is just fools hope, but that's the only thing that is keeping me from abandoning this manga, some hope that i will become better.
I actualy loved Naruto at the start, and had nothing against Naruto II, the art did become really crapy, but i still liked the story. But the last 50-60 chapters were just a slap in the face for every fan.
I just didn't make any sense, he spent two years with that perverted guy and he can't even summon a stupid frog.
I want to see the big frog boss god damnit!
Yeah I'm a little disapointed that he didn't learn any new techniques from Jiraiya. I thought he might come back with longer hair and Jiraiya's pokey hair thingy, and I'm also disapointed at the lack of Gamabunta. I was hoping when they came back together Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke would summon a toad, a slug, and a snake, so they could kind of have a symbolic recreation of the Sannin fight.
I guess the fight between the Sound Girl and Shikamaru was so pathetic because I never even realized that Shikamaru didn't get hurt along with the Sound Girl.
not to mention his Jutsu doesn't make any fucking sense
if it copies muscle movements then they'd be talking, blinking, doing everything together
and besides if he didn't want to be a total idiot he should just wear Kunai holders all over his body therefore he will always have one in a place where the enemy doesn't
