Well Sasuke can fly on his new Hawk summon, Sai can fly on his Bird beast drawing, and Nagato could fly as Deva Realm with his gravity manipulating moves (repulsion in this case).
Naruto can already kinda fly, he can jump REALLY high in Sage Mode. Sage Mode manipulates nature around him (as Kishi has said). He manipulates the Earth below his feet to jump really high, and to lift heavy objects. He manipualtes the Air around him to move faster, and he powers up his ninjutsu and taijutsu by just using pure natural energy; such as encasing Rasenshuriken in natural energy in order to throw it.

Naruto can also jump off clones in mid-air, so if he wanted to go the extra mile, he can kinda sorta fly.

Also, he can summon one of the big frogs and have them jump really high for him, in case he's not in Sage Mode.

For reference, 4:30 is where Jiraiya mixes Katon with the Rasengan. It's a badass looking technique, if you've never played Ultimate Ninja storm.

Not as badass as Itachi's UN4 Amaterasu, but hey.

it's cool how they kinda hinted that kabuto can do the resurrection-jutsu.

**Yabby** · 2010-06-04 19:47

I thought that was more of that animated body jutsu he did back when he and kakashi were in the hospital.

TBH that looks more like just combining two jutsu in succession like Yamato and Naruto did to create the typhoon. The principle is pretty simple. If Rasengan is like a self contained tornado of chakra spinning and spreading, adding fire turns it into a mini-firestorm.

My thoughts exactly, looked like dragon's breathe then rasenganed into it, not a fire based one.

Maybe we skip them because we're not really into J-Rock/J-Pop?

Your logic is not welcomed here!

Personally I just can't handle HorribleSubs, but I have a huge hangup about awful fonts so it's my own fault. Kind of a bitch to wait every week, but they aren't ever toooo far behind.

But 98% of the time I don't skip the openings/endings and I like to know what they mean in english.

Me neither, I usually watch them during the episode or go back and watch after an episode if I'm really anxious to see what's next. The opener with Jiraiya fighting Pain, I think it was 2 openers back, was one I watched every single time. Couldn't get enough of that song and clip playing against it. Made me miss that old jerk like crazy, but practically everything does.

also, post 163: fuck it I'm reading the manga. I can't stand the fucking suspense.

The only OP I've ever actually liked in an anime was the Escaflowne OP moreso for the song itself.

Shadow of Doubt? With the heavy violins? That's all I can remember of Escaflowne, but I love that song.

How you like my sig lol, I think even though the anime wasn't 100% optimal animation, I enjoyed this part, and the frogs fighting too. Naruto's Frog Kumite/Frog Katas is going to be fun to watch in the future if it's always like this lol. They added this part in instead of Naruto just missing the 1 punch and KO'ing Preta with Natural Energy off the side of his arm.

**Maguspk** · 2010-06-04 23:58

I don't know why they changed that scene like that, seemed more epic for his missed punch to still deal a killing blow on the first try, almost like they want to down play his strength.

**Vajra** · 2010-06-05 00:01

I think that that part of the scene makes Naruto live up to his pranky/deception skills which he uses often in combat.

My favorite pranky/deception trick that Naruto had done in the series still comes from Part 1 though, when he uses a bunch of clones to trail around and behind Garaa(who was transformed into partial Shukaku) and then he stuck the Kunai into his butt (1000 years of pain style) and then was pushed away but then he was like "...boom" and EXPLOSION it rips off Garaa's booty which turned out to be partial Shukaku's weak area on his body

. After that Naruto pummeled him with the Uzumaki 2k Barrage

still makes me smile

.

The most recent one I can think of that was OK was the one he just used on the 9 Tails Fox in the last chapter. He used Sage Art: Cho Odama Rasengan as he entered Sage Mode as a decoy move. The Fox blocks it as planned, and pushes away Naruto then steps on him, distracting him long enough for a Naruto Clone to get behind him, picks him up and slams him on his back with his super sage strength. Then he hits him with Rasenshuriken which was his real goal, cause it obviously does more damage to the Fox when it's vulnerable, open and exposed on it's belly

. This gave him a chance to start taking the Fox's chakra. YAY!

I honestly did not like the way they did the last episode. 10 Minutes of random babble and then when he destroyed the first pain, it felt more like a scene from a video game than from a anime. Dunno, the flow just felt... off.

Yeah, was the poor quality of the animation. I still liked it, but could have been a lot better.

Like the bit when he threw the rhino, wtf. The rhino looked like it was gliding up into the sky instead of being chucked. Such a shame cause they did the kakashi vs pain fight + naruto entrance so well.

Hopefully it means that their good animators were too busy working on up coming fight scenes and the Kyuubi 6 and 8 tails scenes
