Naruto

[Parshias]

It's also possible his battle with the Kyuubi resulted in wearing out his body, though.

Possibly. Or at least accelerated his body's decomposition, or whatever it is doing. Kabuto seems pretty sure that Orochimaru's current body will barely last another day when he is fighting Sasuke, so its pretty clear that Orochimaru isn't in top form.

[Ragnus]

Hey now. Sasuke can totally take out his emo rage on the outer wall that Pain was nice enough to not implode.

I'm also on the "I hope Hinata isn't dead" train. :/

[Draggy]

the thought of sasuke and pein hanging around with each other is too much emo to comprehend

lmao this ^

[aru]

i wonder why she decided to bumrush pein instead of trying to free naruto as quickly as she could after he jumped back so far especially considering how quickly she can move her hands during some of her techniques

[LD]

It's called a plot device.


One could try to argue that trying to yank the pikes out of naruto would have left her open and it would have been equally useless, but let's be honest. :/

[aru]

i understand it is a plot device. but just as you said, she likely would have died either way. she said that she was there to help him and instead did absolutely nothing. it just doesn't make sense to me.

[Octavious]

It all seemed awfully DBZ when he went into the rage after she got pwnd. Iirc, didn't Goku do something similar before going SSJ? >_>; I just hope Naruto controls this b/c it'll get annoying if it's another crazy destruction train again. : (

[Zilong]

Krillin got killed by Freeza on DBZ when Goku turn SSJ, so yeah.

I almost didn't catch the last panel. Would read again.

All in all, I really doubt Hinata is dead, her finally showing her feelings is just too perfect a plot point to pass up. Rivalry with Sakura, kidnapped princess, not to mention the potential for her to actually grow a pair and start shoutin' down some triflin' bitches for eying her man. "DON'T THINK I CAN'T SEE YOU, BITCH!"

[Beckwin]

it seems almost too obvious that sasuke will come to subdue the kyuubi with sum sharingan. whether that's before or after pein dies/leaves, I'm not sure.

I was just wondering how the Nine-Tails would be subdued because it seems as if Yamato is also MIA at this point for some reason. But it's highly possible that either Sasuke or Madara may show up to subdue the beast.

I hope it takes some crazy intervention to stop Naruto in six+ tails mode.

Naruto already got a huge upgrade in the form of sage arts. A HUGE upgrade considering he destroyed 5/6 Pain bodies whereas the entire village was almost powerless against.

It would be kinda messed up if he had free access to Kyuubi ala Killer Bee on top of having Sage arts as well. I'm glad Naruto is extremely competent now, and maybe on the level of Sasuke, but I hope they don't get carried away with it.

Sage Naruto better fucking be well ahead of Sasuke in terms of fighting ability. Pre-sage arts I'm ok with Sasuke having an overall advantage.

It'd be interesting, in a way I don't like, if Sakura shows up and yells at him because he's hurting Hinata, and the memory of what Yamada told him gets him to take control of the Kyuubi and calm down. Of course, if Hinata is alive, I'll like that happening...

[Chelly]

i hope naruto can at least partner up with the kyuubi similar to how killer be does
what i mean is when sasuke and his group fought killer bee, sasuke tried putting him in genjutsu, it tripped him up but his tailed monster snapped him out of it

would be awesome to see naruto be able to get out of sasuke's genjutsu's like that

[LD]

Here's my thing. For some reason, Naruto didn't wanna show the frogs part of his training. I don't think they'd have much issue with his Rasengan shuriken. The only reason he might want to hide it from them might be because he was experimenting with Sage chakra in combination with his Kyubi chakra. If that's the case, he might be developing control on his own. IIrc, he only had control of the 1-tail form, but even if he's getting a better handle on the Kyubi, I doubt he's up to 6-tails.

Madara isn't going to come fix Naruto, even if Pain starts losing. If Madara comes, it'll just be to collect Naruto for extraction. Sasuke might stumble on the area, but I don't see him doing much to stop the situation since he doesn't care for either Leaf or Akasuki. IMO, I think it's gunna be Killer Bee who comes outta nowhere to beat Pain and/or knock some sense into Naruto. He'll then (eventually) take Naruto as his apprentice to teach him how to better control his beast.

[Abandon]

IIrc, he only had control of the 1-tail form

Pervy Sage himself said that Naruto can control up to 3 tails.

[LD]

By control, I mean full control. From 1-3 tails, he may still be able to distinguish friend from foe, but not only does he lose a bit of his focus, when he hits 2-tails, his Kage Bunshin double over in pain. Jiraiya instructed Kakashi to stop transformations before that point. Point being, even if he's grown beyond that point, he obviously has no control over the 6-tails.

[yayaok]

i dont see why people are saying killerbee will teach naruto how to control 9tails though, there's like no reason or motivation for him to. of course, it'd be awesome but there's no reason at all
