Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Yeah, Naruto is probably going to end when they are threw with oro and akatsuki.
I am just hoping for a 50+ chapter war arc. We need to see a ninja war in Naruto. The kakashi gaiden was a tease. I can just drool over the strategies some of the Konoha advisors and Shika can come up with for pre-battle prep.
Prediction for next week.
Hidan:You will pay, the god will place judgment on your soul.
Shikamaru:Why don't you die?
Austin Powers reference
Naruto is finally coming out of his shell, but hopefully next week there will be more than just that jutsu, because if that's all it took then there would be no need for Naruto to do the kage bushin test. He[s looking awesome now though so kudos to Kishimoto.
…Man, until I turned on the dub tonight, I forgot that the 3rd vs. the Two Hokages and Orochimaru was probably the best fight in the series.
And it was pretty damn lame how the 3rd's seal on Orochimaru's arms ended up not mattering.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
Great as that fight was, I still couldn't help but laugh at the 'fugly' episode. It sort of ruins the serious mood of the episode when you can't even look at the characters without laughing.
Yeah, I did notice how bad the animation was.
Yeah, Orochimaru and the Third looked terrible at several points. Still one of the best fights in Naruto. Next week we get to see the shinigami jutsu thing.
Wut didn't have bad animation is the new final arc in japan. The arc is getting intense.
Bah, what are you guys talking about? Episode 71 is one of the best-animated episodes in the series.
It must not've been one of the episodes I watched, because half of the time Sarutobi looks like an uneven stick figure.
That's what makes it unique. It makes the animation move extremely fluidly and make the action more dynamic. It's the same guy who did the first episode of the Lee vs. Gaara fight.
The animation wasn't bad, it was the odd (not terrible tho) art in places. I love the Konoha Invasion arc, it's great to see it again after a long time. Enma is just awesome.

Yeah watching blobs of jello fighting each other is pretty unique alright
Seriously, if the animation wasn't bad, then One Piece art in quite a few episodes would be decent.
I didn't know the Third vs Orochimaru was the best fight in the series, first time I read it online I skipped that part as I had no interest in seeing old wart and pedosnake go at it. Maybe I should give it another try.

It's just my opinion, but I pretty much loved the whole thing all the way through.
Though I hated to see Sarutobi die… and later on I was annoyed that his seal on Orochimaru's arms was written off like it was nothing.
I really want to see Monkey King Enma used again...
Yeah, the arm thing didn't make a lot of sense to me. If Sarutobi sealed the arms of his soul, then Oro transported his soul to another body, why did the arms of that body work? Did he mix his soul with the host's to make the arms work or something?
That's what I'd assume. I'm interested in seeing Enma again, but who would summon him, the only person I can think of is Asuma, or maybe another Sarutobi.
Maybe Konohamaru someday~
 
The problem I saw in the episode with the Hokage fight is that they had to reduce the quality of the drawings to make everything flow better. It flowed smoothly, but the characters looked off model.
Oh, and I would love to see someone gain Enma…heck, maybe if Konohamaru summons him, he could become a Chuunin...then Naruto would fall behind another character in ranks 
(then again, with recent events, ranks don't seem to matter anymore)
Yeah, it's been pretty clear for a while now that ranks don't matter anymore.
Even so, I hope Naruto gets promoted to Chuunin for creating his own jutsu. Screw the exam.
Well, Sasuke was considered Chuunin level because of Chidori, so why not the same for Naruto? He and Sakura are like A-S rank ninjas anyway.
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0701/game070127c.shtml
this game is actually looking better and better
Oh, good. The first preview made it look like there were only 4 chars. (Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, Deidara)
you actually believed that a fighting game would have only 4 playable characters…......0.o
Well, that's what they showed in the first commercial I saw. Does it at least have Sasori?
Damn it No sai 
i was hope to play as him, and i wished this one went further in the series.
and Impel the one from before was for the playstaion naruto, this one is the Wii/gamecubre version. they are to totally diffrent games
Ohhhhh. Well, of course Wii is better. I mean, even the Wii Bleach had Grimmjow, Ulloquia AND Aurto Plaedo.
we dont know which will be better till they both get released, but since i played all for on the game cube and playstation 2, i have come up with my opionion.
Gekitou Ninja Taisen series has always beeen good for multiplayer matches, and doesnt have many moves
Narutimett Hero series has been an excellent 1 on 1 fighting game you can pull some nice combos, and very cinematic specials (as you seen)
it more a matter of prefence which one that you like there both awesome
If I can play as Gai and use Asakujaku, I'll probably find a way to import it.
I just hope the motion controls don't suck for it liek they apparently do for the Ippo game.
There have been like four different spoiler summaries already, but I'll just post this one since it's the only one that seems remotely plausible. Still possibly/probably fake, though.
! ナルトの新技に驚く一同（特にカカシ、イノ、チョウジ）
*Pretty much everybody is surprised by Naruto’s new technique (particularly Kakashi, Ino and Chouji)
! カクズ当たればやばいが、弱点の火の属性で攻撃すれば問題ないと
で火遁つかう
ナルト炎に包まれる
*Kakuzu thinks to himself that it would be really bad if he got hit by the attack but that if he attacks using the technique’s weakness, fire, that there should be no problem. Kakuzu then attacks using a katon technique and Naruto is enveloped in flames.
! カカシがやばいと思い、助けに行こうとする。
*Kakashi, thinking that this is bad, tries to go an rescue him.
! しかし、ヤマトが止めに入り「まだ終わってません、しっかり見ていてください」と微笑む。
*However, Yamato goes to stop him and smiles saying, “It’s not over yet. Please watch closely.”
! 火煙のなかからナルトが見える。
*Out of the fire and smoke we see Naruto appear.
! 手裏剣を構えて盾みたいにしている
*He’s positioned the Shuriken and is using it like a shield.
! あと、手裏剣がクルクル回ってる。
*The Shuriken is also spinning.
! カクズ弱点のはずの火が何故効いていないのか驚く
*Kakuzu is freaked thinking why his fire attack, which should have been the Shuriken’s weakness, didn’t work.
! カカシ達も驚く
*Kakashi and friends are also surprised.
! と、ここでヤマトがネタバラシ
*This is where Yamato reveals why the fire attack didn’t work.
! 簡単にいえばナルトのあの手裏剣は刃物の部分は風の属性で、
真ん中の丸っこい部分は今までの無属性螺旋岩らしい
その丸い部分と回転により、火を掻き消した？らしい
（説明下手ですまん＾＾；、この辺は他のネタバレ氏にきいてくれ）
*To put it simply, The blades of Naruto’s Shuriken are made of wind but the middle of the Shuriken is still the same old Rasengan without any sort of element added to it. Because of the spinning and the middle part of the technique he’s able to put out the fire (the writer of the spoiler then says that his/her explanation isn’t very good so hopefully ask one of the other spoiler writers for more detail)
! カクズ
自分の一匹を囮にしてその隙にナルトを捕らえると考える。
Kakuzu then uses one of his mask things as a decoy so he can find an opening and get Naruto.
! ヒダン火のやつを体からまた離す。
*The fire mask separates from Kakuzu.
! カカシがヤマトに対して援護しなくていいのかと聞くが
*Kakashi asks Yamato if it’s really okay not to help Naruto, but…
! カマトは、さっきのは悪魔で『防御』で今からが本当の『攻撃』で見せ場だみたいなことと言う。
*Yamato says that before was just a “shield” and that now we’re about to see the “attack.”
! ここで修業の時の回想その見せ場についての回想です。
*We then see a flaskback of the training and the technique’s results.
! 回想終了
*End of flashback.
! ナルト「行くってばよ」と言いまた、クリリンみたいに掲る。
Naruto: “I’m going for it.” *As he again raises his hand like Krillin.
! また手裏剣が回転し始める。
*The Shuriken starts to spin again.
! おしまい
*The end
! 携帯からなので疲れました＾＾；
多少省略したところもあるますが、その辺は他のネタバレ氏に・・
(Spoiler writer’s comment: I’m writing this from a cellphone so I’m tired…I abbreviated some things so hopefully some other spoiler person will fill in…)
Naruto's still chargin his lazer.
On one hand, Naruto using his new jutsu like a shield is quite clever and awesome. Seems as if he's really growing.
On the other hand, why is Kishi prolonging the battle? It's quite annoying.
Still you kind of have to admit it's very much in Kishi's style. To have it seem like he's gonna use it and then not use it until the next chapter.
Yep, sadly it is Kishi's style. Maybe it'll all work out in the end.
I do love how Kakuzu can't see to do anything to hurt Naruto. Naruto's looking pretty badass right now.
Brawl FC: 3823 8204 8139
Naruto be chargin' his spirit bomb.
For some reason I like this new development. I guess it's caused I always liked Krillien's keinzan/Distructo disk. Imagine, now that's it's in a main character's hand, it can do some real damage.
Thats way too long to be a monday spoiler imo.
Yeah that seems kind of realistic but the fact that there's several spoilers running around gives me a lot of doubt
I agree. But if it were true (which is rather unlikely), then it's like Zero's shield boomerang from Megaman Zero.
The shield boomerang was awesome. I hope the Rasenshuriken works that way. Or that he just throws it and slices the fuck out of that jerk Kakuzu.
Meh Gekito Ninja taisen ex looks disapointing. Personally I found 4 rather mehish and I am looking foward to NH4 by far.
Still, one can only wonder what purpose the Naruto Bridge is surving now.
New spoiler out. Word around 2ch is that it's real, but man, I hope it's not.
! 簡易バレ
! ナルト「風遁・螺旋手裏剣・・これで決めるってばよ」
Naruto: "Fuuton rasenshuriken - I'll settle it with this"
! 角都の前・右・左の三方向から同時に影分身で攻めるが
He attacks Kakusu's front/right/left with kage-bunshins
ことごとく迎撃され、影分身はふっとぶ
They get intercepted one after another, and the kage-bunshins get tossed away
! そこへ背後から本体のナルトが新術で突っ込んでくる
Then from behind, the real naruto comes attacking with his new technique
ナルト「やらァー！」
Naruto: "Yaraa~!"
角都 「しまっ・・」
Kakuzu: "Damn it…"
! 「 ド ッ 」
ナルトの一撃は角都にクリーンヒット！
Naurto's attack makes a clean hit on Kakuzu
! しかし、当たる寸前に螺旋丸はしぼんで消えていた
but, before it hit, the rasengan had shrunken and had disappeared
! チョージ「え？」
Chouji: "Wha?"
イノ 「何？勝ったの？」
Ino: : "What? did he win?"
ヤマト 「・・・・・・」
「失敗だ」（ヤマト顔がゆがんでいる）
Yamato:"...."
"He messed up" (Yamato's face looks wry)
! カカシ「さすが意外性の忍者だ。やってくれる」
Kakashi: "Yup, the unpredictable ninja did it again"
カカシはヤマトと援護に入る。
Kakashi and Yamato come to reinforce
! 角都の触手でナルトはつかまるが、カカシが雷切の
Naruto gets caught up in Kakuzu's tentacles, but
ようなバチバチという手刀で断ち切り、ヤマトの木遁の
Kakashi's Raikiri-like chop cuts him loose,
連鎖攻撃で角都を遠くへ追い払う
and Yamato's mokuton attack immediately follows and chases Kakuzu far away.
! ナルト「くっそォ」
Naruto: "Crap!"
イノ 「かっこつけるだけつけといて・・ナルトらしいったら
ナルトらしいけど」
Ino:"He looked really good until then... but I guess this is Naruto acting like Naruto himself.
チョージ「螺旋手裏剣っていうからピューって飛ばすのかと
思ったら・・走ってぶつけないとダメなの？」
Chouji: "I thought he said RasenShuriken, so I thought he would fly it at him, but you have to run and hit him with it?"
ナルト 「何だよ！当たればスゲーんだぞ！」
Naruto:" Hey! It's amazing if it hits!"
! 新術はゼロ距離で相手にぶつけないとだめ。そのため陽動が基本
The new technique has to be executed at point blank, therefore a diversion is absolutely necessary.
おまけに発動持続時間はもって数秒である
On top of that, it takes a few seconds to get the technique started.
! 角都（あの術近づかなければ大丈夫だな。接近戦を避け術を持つ
オリジナルに注意を払っていればさほど怖くはない）
Kakuzu (as long as I don't get close to that technique I should be fine. And as long as I avoid close range battle and keep an eye on the original that creates that technique, it's not too scary.)
! ナルト「もう一度オレにやらせてくれってばよ」
Naruto: "Let me try it again one more time."
カカシ「・・・」
Kakashi:"..."
ナルト「新術で決めてやる」
Naruto: "I'll do this with the new technique."
! 角都の実力から今度は全員で角都を攻めるようイノ達が反対する
Since Kakuzu's pretty powerful, Ino objects, saying that everyone should attack Kakuzu
カカシ「確かにな・・この状況・・今は五体一だ」
「危ない橋を渡る必要もない」
Kakashi:"True... We're currently going five against one. There's no need to cross dangerous bridges."
! 角都 （さて・・どう来る？）
Kakuzu: "now... what are they going to do?)
ナルト「カカシ先生」「修行中にオレに言ったこと覚えてるか？」
Naruto: "Kakashi-sensei, do you remember what you said to me during our training?"
カカシ「？」
Kakashi:"?"
ナルト「四代目火影を超える忍はお前しかいないと信じてるって」
「確かにチームワークは大切だ。それは分かってる」
「でも今オレは危ない橋を一人で渡りたいんだってばよ」
Naruto:"You told me that you believe that I'm the only shinobi that can surpass the 4th Hokage. Teamwork is very important, I know. But right now, I want to try to cross that dangerous bridge on my own"
「向こうへたどりつけなきゃオレはいつまでたっても
ガキのままだ」
（カカシ考えている）
Naruto:"If I don't get to the other side, I'll always be the same kid"
(Kakashi thinking)
「その橋を外すようなことはしないでくれ」
"PLease don't do anything to push that bridge aside."
（回想でサスケのアップ）
(Flashback and Sasuke's face appears)
! カカシ「・・・・・・」
「フッ・・ヤマトお前はどうだ？」
Kakashi:"..."
"Hm... Yamato, what about it?"
ヤマト「ええ・・だって見てないですよね」
「以前のナルトとは別人だってところ」
Yamato:"Yeah... you haven't seen it yet right -
that Naruto is a completely different individual than before"
カカシ「・・決まりだな」
Kakashi:"then it's decided"
Basically a whole chapter of Naruto saying "O SHIT I FUCKED UP". Thankfully, it's still unconfirmed.
I don't mind if Kakuzu somehow dodges the attack. But if Naruto just completely messes up the jutsu while Kakazu is open, I'll be pissed.
I don't expect Naruto to win easily, but I want to see him live up to the hype Kishi has building for him. Naruto messing up on his own is gonna piss off a lot of people including me.
"Yup, the unpredictable ninja did it again"
You've got to be shitting me. If that's a legit spoiler this shit is downright awful.
Honestly, as much as I hate to believe it, that seems like something Kishi would do. Yet another false hype ploy. God, please let that spoiler be fake.
Brawl FC: 3823 8204 8139
Not much happend if it is true, Naruto had the advantage but lost his new jutsu somehow.
They were all impressed until he messed up. lol. That is funny to me. Naruto wouldnt be Naruto if he didnt mess up from time to time.
Yeah I was skeptic of people who wanted/expected to see BADASS NARUTO!!! I'm not really surprised.
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
But it serves no purpose at all as apparently the spoiler hints at Naruto pulling it off in the next chapter. So to have him fail with the supporting characters going "that's our Naruto!" just reeks of stalling and is propably the lamest thing Kishimoto could have done. Especially as the chapter ends with Yamato saying the exact same thing than last week. "NOW you'll see an entirely different Naruto. No really… I swear".
If it's true everytime this manga seems to pick up the pace Kishimoto has to shower it with shit. Amazing.
Naruto slips on a banana peel and accidentally kills Kakuzu
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
