so pain is under Madara's commend afterall? and Madara's ganna fight 8 of them simultaneously? i really hope there's manga next week.

Just thought I'd say that the last Naruto episode was fucking garbage. All the staring and shit for several minutes straight was worse than having an entire episode consisting of a flashback.

Tobi's a good boy. Tobi's a badass mothafucka. Tobi's a two-faced weirdo.

[Kiro]

That manga chapter sucked.

But Tobi called the Konoha ninjas "Leaf-peoples". That made it worth reading right there.

[Boyiee]

afaskgjgjalkjweaqgiajfaf FINALLY FFS, NO MORE DOUBTS. TOBI = MADARA.

Now watch someone come up with some theory to disprove this.

Ok, I'll do it, but not really.

If you look back to when he says he has "power, uchiha madara's power" it can toy with your brain. They call him Madara, he says he's Madara, and he apparently has Madara's power... but knowing naruto and their amazing ways of not explaining stuff completely and their way of adding plot holes, it's going to be someone else that attained the power somehow and just calls himself and forces other to call him Madara. Personally I think it would be cooler if he was the original madara but I guess then, as I've said before, we just have a 2nd orochimaru. I really really hope it doesnt turn out that way. If it's the original Madara, then he found an immortality technique just like orochimaru was trying to obtain. If it's a Madara that just switches bodies to keep living, again, it's just another orochimaru. If it's some other guy that did some technique that made him get Madara's powers, then depending on how he did it, he's just another orochimaru.

Please, not another Orochimaru. Although I guess Orochimaru had to get the idea from somewhere, and maybe someone else had just perfected since his was never really perfect and still being worked on but was progressively getting better.

As long as they come up with a decent way of doing so, I would love him to be the actual Madara. That's why I've kept this Tobi avatar for so long, I'm a Huge fan of the Tobi=Madara club. Not to mention I've just loved his character so far even with the little we see him. In the end it's probably going to be some fruit that found a way to obtain his powers from the grave or something else thats just retarded.

So I was reading Naruto Manga Returns forums when I stumbled onto this:

1. Is Jiraiya dead?
Kishi : He lives..............................in your heart.
Naruto has to be grown up. Shikamaru also needed to be grown up. And Sakura will have to be grown up, too. Lee? Lee doesn't need to be grown up anymore.

2. What's gonna happen next year?
Kishi : Started with Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
I'm gonna write about mainly Sasuke next year. And Kakashi and Sakura, after that. Especially Kakashi. I can't tell yet but a huge event will happen to him.

3. What kind of way of ending do you do with Sasuke vs Itachi battle?
Kishi : I can't tell. But I have kept this waiting to manga readers for a long time. So I'll have to make everyone gets content with it.

4. Describe the color of Sasuke vs Itachi battle.
Kishi : Glossy-Black

5. Describe the color of Kakashi story which you just mentioned about.
Kishi : Dark Blue

6. You said you're gonna write about Sasuke, Kakashi and Sakura. What about Naruto?
Kishi : Naruto has to wait.

7. Are you gonna write the battle of each member of Hebi?
Kishi : Actually I didn't want to. But Shueisha ordered me to do with something about them.

Poster said he got it from here: http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=309209

Looks like the manga is now called Sasuke D:

[Kiro]

Might as well call it, "Sassy-chan the Emo Fag."

[Eaglestrike]

So is Tsunade going to die (for Sakura to grow up) and Kakashi has something happen to him to better prepare him to be the 6th hokage? That's what it sounds like, but we'll see.

I imagine the sasuke story will be similar to Shikamaru's arc. Naruto did very little that arc too, so similar to Naruto waiting. I think it'll be interesting, especially since we've been shown another Sharingan user when it was supposed to be only two left.

[Ivaden]

There was three Sharingan users for most of the manga, unless you mean actual Uchiha family. So I guess now there are four with Tobi/Madara... and I do have my doubts about Tobi being Madara still. Not so much because I don't believe it, but because I have doubts that they would make Madara into another Orochimaru (like Boyiee wrote).


And I hope Tsunade doesn't end up dying in order for "Sakura to grow up" but it would probably make sense in a way. She's the only Sannin left with Orochimaru and Jiraiya dead; perhaps if she dies, Kakashi's important event is him being named a new Sannin.

/theorycraftoff


Honestly I'm glad the manga is going to be focused on Sasuke and Itachi for a while. I mean, pretty much the entire first half of the manga (pre-time skip) was about Sasuke trying to find Itachi/bettering himself to fight Itachi/crying about Itachi. At this point I want to see what happens if only to see it end. I was a fan of Orochimaru and considering Sasuke learned from him, even though we saw him fight Deidara (rip ;_, I doubt he did everything he could. This is a shonen manga after all, he's probably gotten a lot stronger in the month that's passed since that fight.

[Boyiee]

She's the only Sannin left with Orochimaru and Jiraiya dead; perhaps if she dies, Kakashi's important event is him being named a new Sannin.

While it sounds cute lol, Kakashi has said Naruto has surpassed him, so I don't think kakashi would be strong enough. Jiraiya also told Kakashi it was too dangerous for him to train and travel with Naruto as well when they went on that 3year training thing, so again I don't think kakashi would be strong enough to compare to a Sannin.

Also, the Sannin's were given that title from that Ninja they fought, it's not something that the leaf or really anyone can just decide to call someone. The Hokage's aren't even Sannin's. It's a title that was given to them by an unbeatable foe (apparently that pain possible killed on his own, so if anyone is a sannin it's him). I'm sure there could potentially be tons of more reasons, but I don't think kakashi can be named a Sannin.

If those quotes are true, if Kakashi were to have an important thing happen to him, it's probably Hokage. Jiraiya and Tsunade both talked about it before Jiraiya left to die. He'll either be named Hokage, Die, or Obito will come back and they'll have gay sex or something. Those are the only 3 important things I can really say could happen to him, the only relevant ones anyway. Well, at this point. Or fusion, I still say there will be a Fusion in this anime sooner or later lol. I was betting on Jiraiya+Naruto but well sasuke+naruto would be more fit or even Kakashi+someone, Sasuke can pull a Majin Buu and eat kakashi.

[Ivaden]

Sannin is not an official title either, it was more of a recognition type thing since they were able to survive against that Rain ninja, just not defeat him. I wouldn't say he couldn't be named Sannin, but will he? I doubt it as well, but I also don't think they wouldn't make Naruto the Hokage... I mean, that's like the only dream Naruto had. It wouldn't be a surprise if he didn't get Hokage, and it's not like Kakashi could become Hokage before Naruto... but still. If Kakashi couldn't be named Sannin based on his abilities, I wouldn't think he'd be fit to be Hokage either. Sannin means legendary ninja, I would think Hokage would be a legend of its own, but whatever. It's all speculation anyway, who the fuck knows what'll happen. All I know is if Kakashi dies, I'm gonna be pissed.

And rofl at fusion. Oh the possibilities.

[Bartylby]

now that jiraiya is dead naruto has the key to unlocking the foxes chakra :O can't wait to see what comes of that

[Turambar]

Sannin means legendary ninja

lolwut?

[Ivaden]

Sannin means legendary ninja

lolwut?

Maybe not the direct translation, but the three Sannin are the Legendary Three Ninja. Nitpick more. Even if it comes from being three, they were still considered Sannin as a singular.

[Maguspk]

Kakashi isn't as weak as Boyiee made him sound I don't think. Kakashi is still growing as a Ninja, he's not even at his prime yet... to say he's too weak to do something is a bit harsh. As an example of his growth, he developed his own form of the Mangekyou or w/e Sharingan, that alone should be proof enough he's still learning new stuff. Also, he's a genius like Shikamaru, his chakra pool and/or strength is largely unimportant compared to his potential to out think his foe entirely.

[Boyiee]

meh, I was just talking about the sannin comment. He can't be a sannin. He could be hokage for sure though, in fact tsunade and jiraiya said he'd be next and that he's perfect for it. As for him being weak, I was only comparing him to Jiraiya which I suppose isn't too fair. Jiraiya has alot more years under him, and he only said he wasn't strong enough for the akatsuki 3 years ago. He's much stronger now for sure, but he still made that comment that Naruto surpassed him, so Hokage: Yes, Sannin: No.

Although, it does make me think more about this fight with tobi, with Naruto charging in as usual, it seems that the other Leaf let him do it now (making me think naruto is much stronger than the writes are showing us)... I have a friend that loves sasuke and bashes naruto to hell, calling naruto weak as shit and how the series should have been named Sasuke all along. How right now if they fought naruto wouldnt stand a chance and such. I think that him, and others underestimate Naruto. We only get to see so much of him yeah, and its easy to say hes weak, but for the other Jonin and Tsunade/Jiraiya to talk so highly of Kakashi, it makes me wonder how strong naruto really is considering Kakashi says hes stronger than himself. And with Jiraiya gone, and Naruto getting that key like mentioned before... I'm kinda sad at this comment saying naruto will have to wait, now more than ever I want to see Naruto instead of sasuke.

[Maguspk]

The same can be said about Sasuke too though, just to play devil's advocate here. He was able to learn from a Sannin quickly (Orochimaru) so much so that he was able to defeat him outright. We also haven't seen Sasuke fight at his full potential I'm sure, so it's unfair to try to compare Naruto and Sasuke. But given the fact that Sasuke can essentially dispel the Kyuubi in Naruto it'd be hard for Naruto to use the Kyuubi's chakra to gain an advantage over Sasuke. Otherwise, Naruto seems to be at a distinct disadvantage. However, with the key to unlock the seal on Naruto, who knows what Naruto will become capable of. One can only wonder what Naruto will be like once he has access to the full Kyuubi without that gate with the seal on it being there.

[aru]

i dont blame your friend for thinking that, boyiee, and i think that he's right to a degree. from what we are shown of naruto's development in contrast to what we've been seing of sasuke i think it's fairly obvious that he would wipe the floor with naruto since he still, seemingly, has near absolute zero defence against sasuke's eye attacks. even if naruto has some crazy stuff that he's been holding back on, it's game over for him if he ever makes eye contact. (unless he uses the fox's power to 'pop' him out, but since sasuke has shown that he can block the fox, that seems unlikely). it just seems to me that sasuke has been one step ahead of naruto throughout nearly the entire series.

i would honestly like to see naruto develop some new moves. transforming into 9tails, chakra ball and crappy bushin combo is getting pretty boring. i think that might have something to do with thinking naruto is weak as well. he has a poor, fairly predictable small set of attacks that just make it look like he isnt developing. even his most powerful attacks injure himself... even doing something like adding wind chakra to a shuriken would be a huge leap forward for him to have an effective (unblockable?) ranged attack. or hell, picking up asuma's knuckles would be more effective than using a 2" knife that he seems to love to use.

on a different note, i dont think we've seen the last of orochimaru. i think he might pop up in sasuke's head every now and then in a Farscape-esque fashion.
