Naruto

[Kiro]

But since Naruto is a pussy it'll all be left to Gaara. And of course Gaara will massacre Sasuke and his team. Because he's Gaara.

[Ivaden]

I would like to see a Gaara v. Sasuke rematch for sure. I'd also like to see Temari wreck Karin, then some lesbian action.

[aru]

I wouldn't want to see Gaara v Sasuke, we all already know the outcome would be Sasuke winning with some bs moves that counter everything Gaara could throw at him just like practically every other fight Sasuke's been in.

Sasuke will probably just katon all his sand jutsus into glass.


Come to think of it, that might actually be the first time katon would be useful against anything.

[Ivaden]

Well fine, but I'm not budging on wanting to see some Temari/Karin lesbian action.

[Elondir]

I want to see Sasuke vs. Madara, because i'm pretty sure the story wouldn't allow Sasuke to win that one, then hopefully that could set-up the inevitable (?) final battle between Madara and Naruto.

Curious to see how the big shadowy thing behind Sasuke pans out though, I hope it doesn't take anything from the uniqueness of the lead characters, like Naruto.

[Drex]

uniqueness of the lead characters, like Naruto.

All of his abilities are learned from other characters...

Well except for Rasen-Shuriken, but oops can't use that one except in Sage Mode, which he got from the frogs

Technically he can use Rasen-Shuriken outside of Sage mode, its just too dangerous for him to do so.

don't forget sexy no jutsu

and some of his shadow clone taijutsu combos, I guess

[NarutoAngel221]

I am more than glad that Naruto is coming back because I love it so much neh...Although some people hate it but I still love the story of Naruto. Can't stop liking it

peoples posts who are just posting for 10posts feel so empty and never add anything to the conversation.
Lets just make the requirement for being able to see Advanced be a 5 paragraph paper on the French Revolution.
i think Gaara would get his ass kicked by sasuke. sasuke was going to beat him last time if the tailed beast didnt interfere, and sasuke has gained way more than Gaara has since then.

slight correction. Gaara let the tailed beast out on his own. He was really insane. the beast didnt technically interfere with Gaara at all. However when you think of it the use of his tailed beast doesn't count against garaa because if that's the case then Sasuke is disqualified for every fight he's ever had using the sharringan.

The last time we saw both of them during a similar timespan was when deidara fought gaara and when sasuke fought him later.
Gaara was stronger than deidei and lost because he had to drop his defenses to save the village. Gaara was going to win that fight.
Sasuke was "stronger" than deidei and "won" because he asspulled(among many things) a summoning of the Manda with no chakra in his body to be able to merely survive.(although if a tailed beast was there then that could explain the chakra coming from nowhere I suppose)
So at this point Gaara was technically stronger than Sasuke.

Afterwards we basically have no idea whatsoever how strong Gaara became or how weak. Depending on your theory of how chakra interacts with tailed beast he either just got a giant powerup while losing the unlimited chakra battery since he doesnt have to keep the one tail in check anymore or he just lost alot of power due to no longer having such a ridiculous amount carried around. Gaara also benefits from no longer being batshit insane due to the Shukaku of the sands.
That being said Sasuke gets some ridiculous powerups every single time he appears.
Not even Gaara can stop the love between Kishimoto and Sasuke so yes Sasuke would win atm and probably forever.

Spoiler for the week:

Spoiler: show

*Forgot the title of the chapter…

The Jump spine this week is Katsuyu

Sasuke, angry that he is so close to getting revenge (and that people are now in his way), loses his cool and ignoring Juugo’s warnings attacks Raikage straight on. C uses suiton to create a wall of water and sends Sasuke flying back (while Raikage uses his raiton to run current through the water and Sasuke).

C comments that according to their information Sasuke is a raiton user.

Darui replies that Sasuke can also use katon so C should not let up on the suiton defensive techniques

Suigetsu comments that information about Sasuke has been leaked out everywhere.

Darui says that he will stop their (Sasuke and his team’s) movements and uses a genjutsu called “Dengenraikouchuu” (which apparently looks like Tenshinhan’s Taiyoken from Dragonball)

Juugo totally eats the genjutsu and Sasuke is about to get crushed by Raikage

They get hit with the genjutsu but Sasuke dispels it. Right as he dispels it Raikage is about to hit Sasuke when Suigetsu jumps in and takes the hit. When Suigetsu takes the hit, however, it snaps the Zabuza sword in two and smashes Suigetsu’s arm to little watery bits (he’s made of water though so he probably isn’t permanently damaged).

Suigetsu comments that Raikage’s attacks are really strong and if it were anyone else taking the attack their arm would be torn up. Presumably Sasuke doesn’t like this extra little comment provided by Suigetsu.

The scene changes to the Meeting Hall

All the kage are discussing what they should do now~Ao (the Byakugan guy) will watch over Danzou~The Tsuchikage is just going to stay behind and wait~The girl who was with the Tsuchikage comments that she wants to see Sasuke, the guy who defeated Deidara~The big guy with Tsuchikage who looks like Anpanman will stay behind and look after Tsuchikage~It doesn’t seem like Gaara has given his answer yet~

The scene changes back to Sasuke

C tells Darui that he’s going to go find the remaining Sasuke team member (Karin) so he’s leaving the rest up to Darui.

Juugo realizes that C is a sensing type ninja so they have to take care of him first.

Juugo goes cursed seal 2, the killer freak out type, and says “I’m gonna kill you!!!”

Raikage tells Sasuke and Juugo not to get cocky!!

End of chapter.

Naruto does not appear once in this chapter.

more from nja:

Karin, thinking it would be very bad if she were spotted by C, stops using her abilities to track the Hokage and instead hides her own chakra.

The fight is mostly one-sided this week with Sasuke getting knocked back by Darui’s technique and then getting followed up by C’s genjutsu. Sasuke dispels the genjutsu to which C comments, “That’s the Sharingan for you!!!”

Right as Sasuke dispels the genjutsu, Raikage punches (and is stopped by Suigetsu) and Darui swings his sword down (which is stopped by Juugo)

After that, Gaara asks the other Kage in the meeting room about when they threw away their sense of self (rose above themselves or gained such self restraint)?

*Upon hearing this, Mizukage thinks, “what a pure child” while the Tsuchikage thinks, “what a rude brat”.

Spoiler: show

At least from the look of it, seems that the "cold, dark" chakra was just Sasuke going ultra-emo at everyone getting in the way of his revenge... and not any sort of control. Which is a good thing.

Also good to see that Sasuke and his team are totally on the defensive (at least for now).

[Beckwin]

yeah yeah fuck 'im up raikage

they god damn better be on the defensive. sasuke and his gang were getting assraped by killerbee until he pulled the eye of the jew; the raikage is stronger than killerbee isn't he? i believe it was stated somewhere in the manga that the raikage could keep killerbee in check or something
