Manga is out
Naruto 461 page 01 | One Manga

[Max™]

All I could think while reading that was that they got the wheel order all fucked up, and Sasuke should have just stood backwards while engaged and showed them how to spam Ni nukes.

[Chocoboy]

fucking lol'd hard ^

[Scythiroth]

Good chapter, felt very long with all of that story, which I enjoy. Can't wait for next week. Oh, and as usual, Raikage is awesome.

I'm really tired of Danzo, can someone just kill him already?

[Zilong]

i am itching for some sand coffins, it's been waay too long.

[arus2001]

Sand and Water should make out and have sludge babies.

[Lee]

Danzou just pulled out the 'NWO' card. Shit's gonna get interesting.

[Zilong]

inb4 naruto killed him with WORDS just like the last guy who mentioned NWO

[Kurp]

i am itching for some sand coffins, it's been waay too long.

Me too. I really hope they join the fray soon.

[Marcicus]

Juugo looks like a fucking beast. JUUGO SMASH inc

[Tetrarien]

Sasuke really does seem to have gone off the deep end. Yet again he tells his team to get the fuck out of the fight, immediately after they just saved his ass. Down the line, I'd like to see some dissent from his team considering the hypocrisy and arrogance Sasuke has shown to them. Especially true for Suigetsu... I can't picture him seeing Sasuke kill a bunch of people after specifically telling Suigetsu not to and downplay his team constantly and not say anything about it.

So far though, the fight between them and the Raikage has been top-notch. Juugo willingly releasing his murderous side for the first time should make for an interesting fight.

Danzo is such a prick that it's awesome. Interesting development though... he's "collecting" the sharingan?

And Gaara is badass yet again. What I really like, though, is that he's basically doing Naruto's work without even knowing it. Gaara seems to be trying to bring peace and trust to the ninja world in a similar way as Naruto.

Sasuke should have just stood backwards while engaged and showed them how to spam Ni nukes.

Awesome.

[Eaglestrike]

Why would you say Gaara is trying to do Naruto's work without really knowing it? Sure, Gaara may not know Naruto's current line of through, but I'm pretty sure Gaara's reasons for saying what he has been is because of Naruto inspiration.

[Tetrarien]

Without knowing what Naruto is currently trying to do is what I meant. Naruto was on his way to make a case in front of the kages, and Gaara is pretty much beating him to the punch. He's definitely been influenced by his interactions with Naruto, but currently Gaara has no way of knowing that Naruto was on his way to try and do the exact same thing.

[Kenkyo]

Danzo is such a prick that it's awesome. Interesting development though... he's "collecting" the sharingan?

It could either mean that he's "collecting" them for his own purposes, or, as had been said in the past, specifically regarding the Byakugan, they don't want them falling into the hands of other villages/affilications. If Sasuke was to die, he'd have a Mangekyo Sharingan which the Raikage would be able to pluck to research himself or whatever. He'd probably just eat it. He's just cool like that.

[Zilong]

I forgot, did Itachi also give Tsukuyomi to Sasuke?

That's my take on it. Despite being an immoral and conniving guy, Danzo is trying to look out for Konoha's best interests. This would mean making sure that the Sharingan doesn't fall into the hands of other villages. Considering that Sasuke is currently up against a kage and that others will seemingly join the fight, he probably expects that Sasuke will die and just wants to keep his eyes from being taken by the other villages.

I forgot, did Itachi also give Tsukuyomi to Sasuke?

As far as my understanding goes, Itachi only gave the one-time "Insta-Amaterasu" to Sasuke in an attempt to keep Madara away from Sasuke. However in theory, Sasuke should now have Tsukuyomi in his arsenal once he acquired the Mangekyo but (IMO) hasn't used it yet, either because he hasn't needed to or he just doesn't know how to activate it yet.

[Rem]

I wouldn't be surprised if he has Susanoo too.

[Zilong]

He was able to activate (and deactivate) amaterasu during killer bee fight too, so it's probably an inherited skill from itachi, not just a one time thing.

[Tetrarien]

Oh I wasn't saying that his Amaterasu as a whole was a one-time thing... just that the only thing Itachi transferred to him was that one-time insta-Amaterasu (since it was activated automatically once Sasuke saw Madara's sharingan... Sasuke had no control over it). His Amaterasu at this point is a result of obtaining Mangekyou and knowing how to activate the jutsu, not from Itachi's forehead tap.

And yeah I'm sure Susanoo is a part of the deal too, again though it's just a matter of knowing how to activate it. I'm of the belief that you don't just automatically know how to activate those jutsus just because you've obtained the higher-level sharingan, which is evidenced by Sasuke's surprise when he succeeds in his attempt to extinguish his Amaterasu on Karin.
