there as much magic in one piece as there is in Naruto.
And Naruto is the only one who is really loud, that is why he is Naruto.
They dont really act like children any more tho in part 2 so far.

That's somewhat beside the point, but whatever. I never said that made it less interesting of a series. Though you know, if Kishi had made them something other than ninjas, I think it would have been more interesting. XD
regarding the current chapter. i've thought of a nice way to defeat hidan.
During his ritual you trick him into tasting his own blood instead of his opponent's and when he stabs himself he will trigger one massive feedback loop of pain that will melt his brain :)
….btw, kakuzu roxx :)
Asuma pretty much had the right idea, cut his head off. He should of just followed up on that and chopped his head in 100 pieces than eat his brain and gain some power. lol
But seriously if he lived through that than something is seriouly not right.
Let's remember all who we've lost so far (part 1 and 2):
! Zabusa.
Gato.
Haku.
! A bunch of namless ninjas in the forest of death, don't they count for something? Oh yeah, no.
! Hayate ~Ol' Coughy, the guy with a hot ANBU wife.
! Dosu, and all of sound nin in fact.
! That cow-schemed ninja group who tried to killed Shikamaru, but get killed by Asuma.
! The 3rd Hokage.
! Jirobo
! Kidomaru
! Sakon and Ukon
! Tayuya
! Kimimaro ~ All dead, according to wiki.
! Sasori
! Chiyo
! AsumaThat's actually a pretty good list. A most of them killed by ninja. I might have missed a few. And let's not forget that that a LOT of no name characters get killed in this manga.
The sound five being dead is BS that's more assumption than actual fact. It's like those people who claim Arlong is dead.
the spoiler for this week sounds good again… yes, kishi, yes!
As long as Naruto doesn't show up things can only get better.
The sound five being dead is BS that's more assumption than actual fact. It's like those people who claim Arlong is dead.
At least Kidoumaru, Sakon/Ukon and Kimimaro are dead - for sure (with Sakon/Ukon dying a very stylish and cruel death). And honestly, Kishimoto is different from Oda, Oda doesn't kill anyone, even if they're not needed anymore….I doubt that we will see any of the Sound 5 ever again, so why not just let them be dead? I mean, even if they weren't, they would've been found by Konoha ninja, so either they were killed later on, or tortured to find out more about Oto and Oro...
So, 3 of the 5 Sound 5 are dead, that's a fact, Jiroubu and especially Tayuya looked pretty dead as well...with 3 out of 5 dead, it isn't that far off to assume that the other two are just as dead as the rest.

LOL yeah right. It nothing like that. You're BSing by claiming they aren't dead.
The Katon: Zukokku is a storm-like explosion of fire.
Everyone splits to avoid it, but Kakashi is attacked by Hidan and goes one on one with him with a kunai. The fight is equal. Kakashi confirms he's used 4 Raikiri already. They figure out that Kakuzu has 5 hearts, and to kill him, they have to destroy all of them.
Kakuzu confirms this, and that the hearts belong to other shinobi. By using his butcher techniques, he incorporates the hearts into his own body and is thus how he's able to use so many different elements.
They decide to go after Kakuzu, who they know if they destroy the other 4 hearts, he'll die.
Shikamaru assumes the task of immobilizing Hidan.
Shika asks for and is given back that thing he gave to Kakashi before they left Konoha.
Shika takes Hidan on, but Hidan says that using Kagemane from far away isn't going to work.
But Shika jumps in right in front of Hidan and captures him.
not comfirmed yet but all thats floating around atm
LOL yeah right. It nothing like that. You're BSing by claiming they aren't dead.
Can you prove the sound five outside of Kimimaro are dead? I'll accept Kimimaro but there's no proof pointing out that any of the other four died.

My problem is that there's no proof that the other four died at all. We're left to assume they did but weren't we also supposed to assume that Neji and Chouji died?
My point is that outside of Kimimaro the other four weren't pronounced dead. At least we knew that Kimimaro was dying because of his illness.
And they were all assasinated…
What the difference? You said that ninjas didn't kill people in Naruto, and most of those people were killed by ninjas.
What the difference? You said that ninjas didn't kill people in Naruto, and most of those people were killed by ninjas.
Do the cannon fodder no name ninja really count? Even if we discount those the majority of deaths were caused by villains (Gaara being a villain when he killed Dosu because he was bloodthirsty for example and Orochimaru killing the third though we could say the third killed himself.) Not to mention Zabuza died by charging into a crowd full of Gato's men just to kill Gato out of spite.
and well Kimimaro died by a plot device and I'm still not convinced the other four are dead considering it was never said that they were. For all we know they were just captured and imprisoned.
Meaning that out of all the deaths at least TWO of them came from assassination (Haku and Sasori) while Chiyo just died using her dragonball no jutsu to ressurect Gaara. Wait actually three if we count Asuma.
Then again it's not like those missions were purely assassination missions in the first place. They were mostly rescue missions.
Why are we even arguing about something so insignificant? Kishi and Oda tooks liberties with how they portray pirates and ninjas. As long as it's fun, what does it matter whether OP pirates and Naruto ninjas are close to the real thing?
The fact that people who read Naruto and OP are arguing over something so assinine as accuracy in the portrayal of fictional ninjas/pirates is sad.
As far as characters dying, I don't even care anymore. There's nothing but excuses on both sides about who did and didn't die. As people said in another thread, we won't be seeing em anymore, so who cares if they are dead or not?
So gentlemen, can we just end this little debate here, please?

Well, Sakon/Ukon was obvious…I mean, blades we're stuck in his body from all sides, there was so much blood, it can't get any more obivous...and with Kidoumaru, at least in the anime you could here how his heart stopped beating...I agree if you say that there is no proove that Tayuya and Jiroubu are dead, but come on...we are talking about unimportant villains and (with the exception of maybe Kimimaro, but he's dead anyway) they don't even have much of a fanbase...do we really have to be told "they are dead"? Kishimoto is not Oda, Kishimoto kills at least unimportant characters, certain villains and maybe a good guy every once in a while, so we might at least assume they are dead. If not - surprise. Till then I would say - dead until proven to be a alive.
I really fail to see the point of this arguement, or why Naruto should be singled out for portraying something unrealistically.
Anyways, I hope that spoiler is true. Kakuzu's abilities he's been showing in the past few chapters are some of my favorites in quite a while.
it's simply amazing. kishi went back to his old self. thanks god. i wonder how long it will last. (yes, i know the answer is "'till naruto shows off")
MAybe he can pull it off right even with Naruto this time :O
Good Kishimoto you look kinda cool.
It's nice to see he still has it… In part. Akatsuki really are great villains.
ok I take back what I said last chapter, Shika is still loot.
The way he commanded the whole team was impressive. Even Kakashi asked him for his advice on the situation.
Hidan is very agile. He did some impressive moves but was still caught in the end. Shika can capture anybody I presume.
How ARE they gonna kill Hidan, anyway? My guess is they make him taste his own blood and then when he stabs himself, it'll kill him.
Cut his brain into a bunch of pieces and feed it to Kiba's dog.
Cut his heart into a bunch of pieces and feed it to one of Naruto's frog.
That should do it.
I am sure he licked his own blood a few times before, he just dont die. It is due to his religion.
RAW is out

Ino: I’m fine!

Frame 1
Hidan: You’re good… as expected.
Frame 3
Chouji: Kakashi-Sensei, are you okay!?
Kakashi: yeah…
Frame 4
Kakashi: That said, 4 shots of Raikiri while using the sharingan…
…I can’t take my time.
Frame 6
Ino: They’re using good team play…
Pg 5
Frame 1
Chouji: Kakashi-Sensei’s Raikiri earlier, hit its mark for sure… So why isn’t he dead!?
Frame 3
Kakashi: I crushed his heart. He should be dead.
Frame 4
Kakashi: …But the only thing I was able to destroy was just one of the monsters that came out of him.
Frame 5
Kakashi: We can think of it as that thing died instead him…
Frame 6
Kakashi: Earlier when he took out the Kagemane Shuriken and escaped, it was the same…
Pg 6
Frame 1
Kakashi: The arm separated from the main body had something like a heart attached to it. It moved on its own.
Frame 2
Chouji: …So…what does that mean?
Frame 4
Kakashi: Probably, including the main body himself and the monsters that came out of his body… they each have a heart, and all of the hearts are his.
Frame 5
Kakashi: It means he had 5 hearts.
Frame 6
Chouji: That’s something that’s…
Shika: With Sensei’s Raikiri just now, that number decreased by one.
Pg 7
Frame 1
Ino: That means to completely defeat him, we have to destroy four more hearts?
Shika: Yeah…
Frame 2
Kakuzu: So you figured it out. Each of those hearts were taken from shinobis I fought with previously. I cal always replenish it.
Frame 3
Kakuzu: With your hearts.
Frame 4
Kakashi: I see. He incorporated the others’ hearts along with the chakra elements residing in the chakra tubes. That’s why he can use so many “Elemental Manipulations”…
Frame 5
Hidan: Don’t underestimate our, immortal tag team!
Pg 8
Frame 1
Kakashi: Shikamaru… How to fight?
Frame 2
Shika: The smartest way to fight would be to separate those two and fight them in two teams.
Frame 3
Shika: …First, we stop their combination attacks. Then we concentrate the attacks on the one we can defeat if we kill him 4 more times…
Frame 4
Kakashi: That means we need someone to stop that Hidan guy…
Frame 6
Ino: I’ll do it.
Pg 9
Frame 1
Ino: I’m the one that’s reserved the most chakra until now. Plus I’m not use in simple combat…
Using the Shintenshin no Jutsu…
Frame 2
Shika: No. To begin with, Shintenshin is a combo jutsu used after I’ve stopped the opponent’s movements with Kagemane…
If you miss, you can’t return to your body for several minutes.
…The risk is too high.
Frame 4
Shika: I’ll do it. After I’ve captured him with Kagemane, we’ll move somewhere else.
Frame 5
Kakashi: But the point is how are you going to capture him… Either way, you’re going to need a distraction.
Frame 6
Chouji: Then I’ll be the bait.
Pg 10
Frame 1
Shika: That’s not an option either. If he attacks you and gets even a little of your blood it’s over.
Frame 2
Shika: It’s out of the question for us to go in and attack him ourselves.
Frame 4
Shika: Chouji, conserve you chakra to destroy the masked one later with Kakashi-Sensei.
Frame 5
Hidan: What the hell are you whispering about!? Let’s start this already!
Frame 6
Shika: I’ll capture him by myself. And I’ll be the one to do that part…
Pg 11
Frame 4
Kakashi: Alright… Let’s leave it to Shikamaru.
Frame 5
Kakashi: Shikamaru… Take this…
Frame 6
Shika: …Alright.
Pg 12
Frame 2
Hidan: That again! Are you that afraid of the powers of my scythe!!? Attacking like that from far away. It’s pathetic!!
Pg 13
Frame 1
Kakashi: You’re opponent is me!
Frame 2
Hidan: Too slow!
Frame 6
Hidan: He picked it up and threw it with his shadow…!
Pg 14
Pg 15
Frame 1
Ino: He can’t move well in the air! Got him!!
Frame 6
Hidan: Heh… Too easy. As long as I pay attention to my shadow, there’s nothing to this jutsu!
Pg 16
Frame 2
Hidan: What!?
Next Chap: Against the mortal enemy, Shikamaru challenges!! Next issue: It’s “Toward victory…”!!
Pg 17
Frame 2
Shika: It’s not just sneak attacks from far away.
Frame 5
Shika: Kagemane no Jutsu… Success.
Side Text: By chasing with the shadow, and using the determining blow as a decoy, the trap is sprung! How is the “Shadow User” going to play his hand against the “Immortal Man” he’s captured again!?
There's already a scanlation here.
Damn, I love Shika. Always coming up with a good plan.
Cut his brain into a bunch of pieces and feed it to Kiba's dog.
Cut his heart into a bunch of pieces and feed it to one of Naruto's frog.
That should do it.
I am sure he licked his own blood a few times before, he just dont die. It is due to his religion.
hey you made me remember kakashi's dogs. now i hope he'll do some stuff with them before using the mangekyou sharingan which is a boring attack.
Yeah naruto has been doing som epretty good chapters for a while now… Hope he can keep it up though I doubt that... soon Naruto will come and PWN everyone with his new gigantic super mega tornado rasengan... :( I hope the akatsukis get killed before Naruto them arrives.. Or well I would like to see Yamato fight, and maybe Sai too, but definitly not Sakura nor Naruto.
I guess we know why Kakuzu's a bounty hunter now.
I found the cover of vol.36 it has Naruto clones,Hidan, and Kakuzu
http://www.leafninja.com/
WIN = well I never.
What do you know, an actual REALLY GOOD CHAPTER.
THIS is classic Naruto, and the way it should be. Hidan and Kakuzu are easily the best villains to show up in a long time, and a part of me almost hopes they don't die. I know they have to for story purposes, but man they're cool!
Will Kishi keep this up? The answer is 90% likely no. This is just some part of his soul reaching out of the black depths. But let's enjoy it while we can.
I love how Akatsuki seems to have "theme" teams, so far. Deidara and Sasori were the "art" team, and now we have Hidan and Kakuzu who are the "immortal" team. I wonder what that makes Itachi and Kisame? The "Deus ex Machina powerful" team?

Since Satori die and Tobi becomes Deidara new partner they have become the Comic Relief team XD and Hidan and Kakuzu make a good team
It seems was long was Naruto is keeped out of the picture this fight might actually be great
But knowing Kishimoto we can only fear the worst
Well I had a bit of catching up to do because I stopped reading Naruto around 323… but now that I'm up to 335 I admit I'm beginning to have second thoughts on the bad things I've said about Naruto lately. It's starting to become the series I got into again. I actually hope it keeps this up. It seems Kishimoto is redeeming himself.
335 was made of win.
When Naruto, Yamato, Sakura, and Sai come in to the fight, the whole thing will get less interesting. It's more fun to watch a fight when the three fighters only really have a few jutsus.
I am actually kind of interested to see Sai in a real fight. His fighting style is very unique and interesting. I doubt he will fight that much in this arc besided being in a support role.
Well, when Orochimaru's fortress was blown up, Sai said Sasuke "defelcted" his jutsu, so he must have some attack. And, I hope Naruto's new jutsu doesn't have a stupid name, like "Kaze Rasengan".
It'll be some lame name like "Kazengan"
As long as it's not just a "rasengan…with wind!" I'll be happy.
Hey, how about some wind jutsu taijutsu? By that I mean, melee combat boosted by wind.
After this whole mess with Kakuzu and Hidan is over, will anyone even remember Itachi?
Who's Itachi?
Kakuzu is now one of my favorite Akatsuki members, along with Kisame. If each ghosty thing can only be killed by the opposite element, does that mean that Team 10 and Kakashi are going to have to use four elements?
@Mr.:
Who's Itachi?
I think "Kaze Rasengan" and "Kazengan" sound great!
_>
<_<
..not really.
I hope it doesn't look like a regular Rasengan either. I'm hoping for a big wind blade!
You mean you haven't seen it yet? Either way, a big wind blade would mean it's not a "spiraling Sphere" anymore.
Well, it caused a giant crater just from the power of it so…
It might be akin to a giant vortex of slicing wind. Or perhaps a tornado?
A tornado would rule!
Okay, deep question: You know how Orochimaru told Sasuke not to use "that jutsu"? Well, what if it was a chakra/nature manipulation combo like the Kazengan?
^It definitely is.
It's most likely a fire jutsu seeing as Sasuke made the Tiger seal which has forever been associated with Katon.
Or perhaps, since Sasuke has a Kekkei Genkai, it might be some strange combination of Katon and Raiton…he did raise his hand to the air, after all.
That's a good point. Kekkai Genkai are supposed to combine elements, so what's the Sharingan's other element?
BTW: Speculated elements:
Ino: Water
Shikamaru: Fire
Choji: Earth
Hidan: Lightning
