God damn Naruto is getting wack in both the Anime AND the Manga now. Hell I have to watch the dub to remind myself why I really liked it in the first place. That is how bad it’s gotten. Heck Naruto has dropped behind Bleach and HXH for me. And if Fate Stay night is as good as everyone says it might drop to number 4 or lower in the current stuff I am following.

First off the manga is dragging its ass. God damn when will we see Sasuke Vs Naruto Round 2 already. Then anime the filler is getting disgusting now. I just watched 180 and Lee the “no Justus ninja” can fucking cling his feet to the ceiling? When the hell was he able to do this? Wouldn’t that take chakra control on the level of most Ninjitsu? I thought he couldn’t do anything with his chakra at all?

Holy crap... I've been watching the series on CN and I see why lots of people like it. It's really kickass! However, I've been hearing all this talk about how the Naruto manga is getting stale in Japan and the anime is being polluted with filler material, so I decided to check out those manga scans out of curiosity. I wanted to see if it's really as bad as it's hyped to be.

Holy shit.... it IS that bad.

I felt exactly like Peter Griffin attending at a stage drama, because these exact words popped into my head...

"What the hell is this?! For crying out loud, somebody throw a pie!"

Well, in this case, I guess a shuriken would fit much better. Still... ENTIRE chapters where NOTHING happens?! I don't think I can deal with that kind of bullshit, especially in a manga/anime that has gathered such high expectations from it's fans!

I see exactly what everybody is talking about and if this snoozefest is where Naruto is headed, then count me out!

I'm sticking with One Piece (not the 4Kids version). At least Oda seems to outdo himself with every big story arc that he cranks out!

Wait, wait, wait. You read OP and you criticize Naruto for empty chapters?

The problem that people are having with Naruto is that he sucks. He went away for three years to train, then comes back shitty. Then we get a LONG ASS BORING SAKURA FIGHT as the climax to a story arc.

And so far, he continues to be shitty. Stuff is happening, just not enjoyable stuff.

Seriously. OP is best read in hugeass batches once a year. :rofl:

One of my favorites; arcs are huge, and they end in a great way. But it takes a while for stuff to really go down.

I'm seein' Death Note at tokyotosho. It's possible that SJ was leaked, so we won't be getting a chapter next week instead.

I'm on episodes 115 to 120something now...I'm not sure where the stale part begins, but damnnnn this batch of episodes has been too good. It's on the part where Sasuke left with those Sound ninja, and there is a battle between them and Shikimaru and His Amazing Friends. There's been some powerfully emotional scenes in this part of the story, too...beginning with Sakura's declaration of love to Sasuke before that chump left the village. On a sidenote...she is much cuter with the shorter hair.

Is it possible to get the "evil theme" they play for various dark tone/sinister/evil scenes? I've checked through every track on the "Naruto Original Soundtrack" listings on galbadia 's site, and Narutofan's site appears to have the same thing. Is it just not available? (I also didn't see that "Fighting Dreamers" song) I was going to just record the sound right off one of the episodes to get it, but it would be better obviously to have the music without soundeffects and/or talking over it. Anyway, this theme has been played for Orochimaru(*but it's not what is listed as "Orochimaru theme" or "Orochimaru Fight theme") It's really the best background music for a "something evil is happening" scene I've ever heard for an animated show. There's long(one approx. whole note per measure) low notes that eventually contrast nicely with higher whole notes that were played most likely on a flute or piccolo. The resulting sound is perfect and totally Ear-Delicious. Besides just Orochimaru, it's been played for when Sasuke follows the Sound Ninja, probably scenes with Gaara, and even more noticeably with when Itachi showed up for the first time.

Million,
that is the last good arc.

Downhill in both anime and manga from there.

And there are 3 or 4 Naruto OSTs. Bother Saist if you really want the tracks. He knows Naruto shit like nothing.

BEWD,

Gutts gets my vote for best badass in anime/manga. He is ridiculously strong, but since you see all the shit he went through to reach that point, it really makes sense. Being the head of the raiding party for the best band of mercanaries, and training all the goddamn time... and that isn't even mentioning the apostles.

Ah the manga really isn't so bad. If everyone just stopped putting so much focus on it like their lives depended on the next chapter they wouldnt be all like "omg this shit sucks Im never lookin at naruto again"(then they look at the next chapter anyway).

but yes, Guts is like, the toughest mofo in all manga. But unlike other characters, you'd never say "I wish I was like Guts", cuz godamn his life is no fun.

I haven't watched the Naruto anime in a long ass time, and I don't have them available on the computer I'm using now. So I couldn't identify the music for you, Million.

3 OSTs have been released thus far. There's a lot of tracks that still need to be covered, so it's quite possible that the one you're looking for hasn't shown up on any of the OSTs just yet.

The "Fighting Dreamers" song is called "GO!!"... it should be on there.

And reading what I can of the newest manga, it seems like Kishimoto's just stalling for time for XYZ reasons. It reads like "Reasons Why Dasrik Thinks Japanese Is A Stupid Language 101" - pretty much chock full of the hilarious cliches we hear all the time.

I actually don't mind a lot of the filler, although the writers of the current one are severely fucking up (run real fast no jutsu?!). Sometimes the voice actors help (like Shuuichi Ikeda in one last year). But overall, it tends to be really generic.

I just started watching OP. I finished the Captain Kuro arc last night. Damn that show is boring.

catchafire
04-27-2006, 05:18 AM
Wow, it's fun seeing peoples reactions to the series who are watching/reading it for the first time. Maybe now they see why we were/are into it. It's just a shame that Kishimoto took such a long break between part 1 and part 2 because the series has never been the same.

Are you talking about the track that sounds like a smoother/vocal-less version of orochimaru's theme? That plays when Kimimaro first activates the Gaia Seal against the (then)Sound 4? Also when Jiraiya reminisces about Orochimaru attacking him and leaving Konoha? If that's it, it's not on any ost released so far, I looked.

Or that one when Orochimaru first appears to Sasuke and Sakura, and then plays again after the killing intent by oro? That one hasn't been released either.

04-27-2006, 04:01 PM
ah, I think I know what theme you're talking about, BEWD, but that's not it either...but that's definitely another good one I wanted.

Rock's drunken fight with Kimimaru was probably the most hilarious fight scene I've seen since that time Majin Buu got his ass beat by some candy.

damn...on my last episode for now...I have to get another batch. The withdrawal pains are already starting; 101 -125 have been amazing.

*sidenote--I'm now wondering how CN will handle Neiji's fight with that one Spiderman dude from the Sound clique...? Things got a little...gruesome at the end there. There will have to be quite a few edits on that fight. Same goes for...eh, that guy with the dog...Kiba. Surely they can't show a character stabbing himself on the Toonami block...theres just no way. (*last week, they couldn't show Anko stabbing her hand into Orochimaru's hand into the tree.. Anko = totally fuckable, btw. She and Shizune are the hottest women on the show, easily.)

hmm...perhaps I haven't seen her yet. I'm up to episode 125 now.

Out of the younger group of characters...Hinata is clearly the superior piece of ass. Naruto should've noticed her reactions from day 1 and immediately stopped wasting time on Sakura. Even short haired Sakura is not as cute as Hinata. Ino ranks below Sakura, btw. She's a bit too much "random hot blonde", imo. TenTen is slightly above Sakura, and Temari...eh, I dunno about that one....I get a bit of a lesbo vibe from her. She's a little butch...little bit.

OH yeahhhhh...she's a nice one. I forgot about her, since I haven't seen her since that scene with Itachi. It was rather adorable when she blushed because Kakashi made a comment about her being off with....Asuma(?that dude with the beard who usually smokes) Dark hair always catches my attention.

am i the only one who thinks the 1st ending (wind) was great?

also, the 2nd opening (haruka kanata) is the hypest anime intro theme i've heard in a while.

i've watched all the anime episodes up to episode 179 on youtube. i am so far ahead of CN it isn't funny. any idea when ep 180 is gonna be out?

the voice dubs on CN are terrible. it totally ruins naruto imo. it's hard to convey just how funny the japanese voices are, especially where naruto is concerned. for example, i don't suspect that CN will have naruto address jiraya as "Ero-Sennin" :rofl: which he does constantly in the subbed version. maybe it's just me but i think naruto is a really good anime as far as how the story is done. it might not be as sophisticated as say, stand alone complex, and few shows are, but there are some good points to be learned from naruto if you're watching it with certain things in mind.

Spoiler summary that may or may not be fake. I'm only posting it because of how slow things have been as of late.

Three Years!!!
Cover - Naruto
Searching and getting closer to the close friend that arrives at last. Meeting soon after arriving [at Orochimaru's]
Orochimaru: Sai, you've gone back to Yamato's and the other's side?
Sai: I'd like to know their connection. I'd like to verify Naruto's and Sasuke's relationship. Therefore...
Orochimaru: Abandoning you mission just to know about it? Such a thing..
Naruto: !! Such a thing?! As for Sai!!
Naruto sees Orochimaru laugh.
Orochimaru: Naruto-kun, you're a really foolish creature, aren't you?
Naruto: What?
Orochimaru: Looking for Sasuke is a waste. He's not the same anymore. He's changed. It's been three years. You already know, Sasuke's not what you remember him being. [I took a little liberty with the last sentence]
Naruto: I won't know until I meet him!
Sai: ...
Orochimaru: You want to meet him? You'll verify Sasuke's talent.
Naruto and Sai: !!
Orochimaru: Simple, don't you think? You'll know whether or not you've wasted three years on this effort. [bringing Sasuke back]

Yamato: Naruto's chakra...
Sakura: Perhaps he's met up with...
Yamato: This is it! We've got to hurry.

In a dark room...
Orochimaru: Sasuke-kun, you have a customer. He's been wishing to meet you...
Sasuke's shadow: ...
Naruto pushes Sai away.
Naruto: Sasuke!!
Sasuke: How secure is this place if Konoha-nins come in, Orochimaru?
Sasuke walks out of the shadows. Chapter ends with Sasuke showing himself.
Translated by Yukari Rin. Sounds believable, at least.

English voices aren't horrible, imo. I prefer the english Sakura, definitely. The original Sakura voice is whiny, highpitched, shrill, annoying, etc.....well, this seems to be how most of these japanese women sound for characters like that. I can't stand it. I don't like that high-pitched nonsense in porn either...I sure as hell don't like it on a simple animated show. Sasuke sounds pretty much the same, imo....Steve Blum as a villain always sounds great, the guy voicing Orochimaru only sounds a bit younger than the japanese version, and Kakashi sounds fine. The only one that noticeably sucks is the person that does Naruto. That particular english voice is quite annoying...

182 eh...hmm...so apparently I'm getting close to being current with the show with this next batch of episodes.

Orochimaru Fight theme has become another bit of personal theme music for me.

whoah...episode 133 was specfuckintacular. The long flashbacks were getting annoying,(*especially things that had been shown at least twice already, like the slaughter of the Uchiha clan) but finally it got to the meat of the battle...Naruto vs. Sasuke, part 2 was the real deal. The "ominous evil" theme music that I love so much was played quite a bit there, as well as during Gaara's fight with Kimimaro. Unfortunately, it appears things have slowed down now, since the fight is over...now I'm at the part where Naruto, Jirayia and Sakura went off....somewhere.

Puppets are good. Story about them goes a bit overboard and twisted in the manga (not to mention part of one of the fights that lasted forever :arazz: ). No clue on when that part will make the anime transition

i thought the naruto movie was actually pretty good....definitely better then the first one....the only problem was its a bit anti climatic....which i imagine is gonna be the problem with all of the naruto movies....mainly because naruto is always gonna defeat the last guy.......not only that, but he'll do it pretty much the same way in every movie....ironically, i dont think naruto meshes well with the series at all....he's much too straight forward, loud, and predictable....not to mention that the 2 techniques he whores both encourage very direct methods of attack....all of which is very boring and un-ninjaesque....good job at being the worst character in your own series Naruto....

DragonSama

the closest he has ever come to doing anything ninja like was, the fight with Zabusa (the Shiriken), the fight against Neji (the tunnel Shoryuken) and this current filler (the Transform into a rock Shoryuken). Other than that he will always Kage Bushin and Rasengen that shit down.

But then again you could make the same argument about Lee as well. I don't think I ever seen him do any ninja sneaking at all just fight whoever it is head on.

As far as the movie goes its ok....But.....

Garaa is such a beast, always has been and always will be my fave nin....Peeves me off that they messed over him like they did recently tho >=(

Kankaro was always my 2 fave but they didn't do to much with him....Altho he did beast on some people Mortal kombat style...

as for 305....It was ok, hopefully next week and the follow 4 weeks can get the sasuke mess out of the way. And try and re jump the life of this manga

Orochimaru
Seneijyashu (shadow emerging snake fist thingymajigger)

Orochimaru:
So, you're on their side after all....
Sai... why you...

==Page 2==
CHAPTER TITLE 305: The bond with you

Naruto
I'll deal with him, you go and find Sasuke!

Hurry!

Sai:
OK, I'll search and rescue Sasuke-kun

==page 3==

Orochimaru:
You've come to rescue Sasuke, have you?
I'll hand it to you for your guts, but do you really think things will go as you want?

Naruto:
Yeah!
I'll beat you and take Sasuke out of here.

Sakura:
He isn't here either

==Page 4==

Yamato:
Naruto's Chakra, Something's up. Let's go!

Sakura:
Right!

==page 5==
Sai:
ninpou: Choujyuugiga (many drawings of beasts *yeah- I'll leave the naming to others p*)

Orochimaru:
So what, you're all talk now?

==page 6==

Yamato:
Orochimaru again eh?

Orochimaru:
heh

Orochimaru:
I'll let you live Naruto-kun.

The more "akatsuki" members you can take out, the better.

I'm more interested in dealing with Sai anyways, so excuse me.

==page 7==

Naruto:
Err

Sakura:
phew

Yamato:
Where's Sai?

Naruto:
He's looking for Sasuke

We've got to find him before Orochimaru.

It'll use a bunch of chakra, but I'll search for him by summoning a bunch of kagebunshin.

==page 8==
Naruto:
Yamato-taichou and Sakura-chan you search that way.

Sakura:
What's this?

Naruto:
He remembered [what he wanted to draw]
He wanted to show his brother that
It's a picture of their dream.

Sakura:
They're both smiling

Naruto:
When he drew that picture... he really did smile, from the heart.

==Page 10==

Yamato:
What's this?!

Sakura:
What's the matter?

==Page11==

Yamato:
This was in Sai's bag.

This is a book that shows the Anbu as your target, an assassination list.

Aka, a bingo book.

Naruto:
Assassination list?

Sakura:
Why are all the pictures crossed out?

Yamato:
It probably means that they have already been taken out...
*er.... duh??*

Sakura:
Why is Sai carrying that?

==page 12==

Yamato:
Look!

Sakura:
This....is?

Naurto:
Why?

Why is Sasuke's profile in Sai's list?

Yamato:
It hasn't been crossed out yet.

Ah... I see.
So that's what he was up to

Naruto:
What do you mean?

Yamato:
Sai's mission wasn't to act as a go between with Orochimaru and Danzou.

His true mission was....

==Page 13==
Yamato:
To take out Sasuke

Naruto:
That...
that can't be true!

He said he'd save Sasuke

He really did smile as he said that

He's different now... he's changed...

Sakura:
And what if all that was just an act?

Yamato:
For the person holding this type of book, it's possible.

Check this out

This guy by Sasuke's profile

A jyounin from Kiri-gakure(the hidden mist) known for his strong feelings against Konoha.

Sai was put up against those that could cause problems for Konoha.

And Sasuke is one of those people too

Sakura:
So in order to reach his goal, he smiled....

Now that you mention it, after I hit Sai....

Yamato:
A smile is the best way to get away with trouble
Even if it's a fake one.

It's quite good at fooling people, or so I've read in a book...

==page 15==

Yamato:
Danzou's goal was to take Orochimaru's new body, Sasuke, out of the picture.

So for that reason, Sai was told to get close to Orochimaru.

He didn't back stab Konoha after all, it was all FOR Konoha....

in a barbaric kind of way.

We gotta hurry up and find Sai!

Sasuke:
Who's there?

Sai:
Busted already?

But I already got the upper hand

Sasuke:
What do you want?

Sai:
I want...

To take you back to Konoha!

I was originally here to kill you but...

Flash back Naruto:
He was the only person to really notice me.

Flash back Sakura:
Sasuke-kun is like a brother to him

== page 17==

Flash back Naruto:
If it means rescuing a friend, I'll even pair up with the likes of you

Even if I get really messed up, I'm going to take Sasuke back from Orochimaru

Because Sasuke is my friend, and because I finally was able to create a bond....

Sai:
I want to...

try protecting the"bond" with you that he(naruto) is trying so hard to mend.
I honestly don't see the point of bringing in the prospect of this Sasuke assassination attempt if Sai's resolve was already set beforehand. Kishimoto's just wasting time.

Seems like Sasuke's clothing is more on the light side this time around. And next week's chapter(or is it the week after next now? Golden Week has screwed everything up) is supposedly the end of the volume, so Kishimoto will definitely show his face in the next chapter.

05-02-2006, 10:11 PM
Well, yeah that does seem like a waste of space. I guess it explains a lot, and it makes it so when they go back, they dont have to expose the danzou guy, but it is kinda sucky that Sai actually coulda been cool, but now is just a Naruto pawn.

Ok, finally sat down in front of my computer and youtube and give the Anime a spin. It's pretty good Im at episode 55. Here are my thoughts so far

-Rock Lee is beast, I love his attitude.

-Sasuke is gonna pull some dumb shit later isnt he? I only started watching on last week so I have not had time to read spoilers yet.

-Hinata is the best kunoichi on the damn show, and probably the most attractive.

-Shit, does Naruto get his ass kicked before winning in every battle? I enjoy his character but it's not fun seeing him get shit-kicked every fight.

i think sai is alright....i'll definitely like him better if he turns out to still be truly working for danzou....i'm still not sold on such a drastic character transformation...

i do think this is kinda funny though.....a fan of Sai is calling Sasuke gay....i wonder if sasuke would even have to get out of the bed to beat sai's ass....seriously...

-Shit, does Naruto get his ass kicked before winning in every battle? I enjoy his character but it's not fun seeing him get shit-kicked every fight.
Pretty much. If he doesn't get his ass kicked, he is at least made to look like a fool by whoever he's fighting.

Seriously, straight-up hilarity.

Don't like Sai much anymore. Once he stops talkin' about people's dicks, and develops a more interesting personality, that will change. His Art Ninjutsu is interesting at least.

i wonder if sasuke would even have to get out of the bed to beat sai's ass....seriously...
As do I. The difference between them was made clear a few chapters ago, and Sai's no chump. Sai got shook by Sasuke when he made eye contact. He may be detatched from his emotions, but he knows deep down that he's afraid of Sasuke.

@Stabby - I'll get Ueki upped soon.

as a fan of Sai too, I would'nt worry about him being a good guy. He's on track of his mission to assassinate sasuke by using deception. He's gonna try to get into Saskue's head by throwing a whole bunch of Naruto shit at him to get him to let his guard down. I'm sure Saskue is gonna see right through it tho.

fillers...won't...stop......

next ep: Akamaru gets rabies.

You better not say that. Remember what happened to kimmimaro with the bone-itis. :sad:


I finally watched the movie and, well, damn. it was weaksauce IMO. The sand duo ( I guess everyone's favorite fan flinger, Temari was AWOL.) didn't get enough time. THey just pop in and out periodically throughout the show. not well-placed if you ask me.

Sakura.......................*vomits on some random dog passing by the computer.* Yep, she's still the same. Stupid, bitchy, weak, unnecessary, lucky, and most of all, an annoying pain that no medicne can get rid of. one thing I'm getting tired of is them throwing some decent nins to the wolves so that Sakura can get street cred as a fighter!!!! :annoy: oh. I'm sure she could outrun wolf-girl who had already tagged her worthless ass left, right, and sideways. and then, she's gonna lure her in-between the ONLY thing that could use her howl against her, collums of stone wind chimes? :wtf: Next frame please. my stomach is starting to hurt again......................................

Shikamaru, of course, held up well. once again outsmarting the enemy, despite the enemy having all the advantages except the one that matters. Him and Kankuro make a good team IMO. I hope they work together more often. Inter-villiage teams could become the new thing.

Of course, our favorite loser of the show. Naruto.

well, this is nothing that hasn't been seen before. Naruto jumps in. Naruto and main guy they've come to help don't like each other. Naruto and company meets main bad guy, who ironically happens to lead the damn place.........................Again. Naruto stumbles around the place ticking off everyone while the rest of the team figures out that all isn't quite what it seems. Everyone else figures out what the big, dark secret is while Naruto does his,"you don't have to be this way!" speech on the guy they came to help. Finally, the bad guy reveals his/herself, and is, SURPRISE!!!!!!, a very strong baddie who can wipe out the villiage. Naruto sees the guy/gal who's life he just changed get beat up (why don't these people ever die?) Naruto gets mad and attacks bad guy, getting stomped like a floor at a rave. he gets up, madder than ever, and throws out ANOTHER long ass, borring speech. the bad guy does the same thing in return, and then Naruto does the old signature move, Kage bunshin into the Rasengan FTW. *yawn*

...........................And at the end, everybody comes back, happy and healthy. The end. :clap: :clap: :encore: :encore: :clap: :clap: :woot: :woot: Seriously, it's time for a twist ending once in a while. hell, GITS:2nd gig did it, why can't the rest do it? It's things like that which make me long for the Kakashi Gaiden to hit the screen. it would've made a far better movie than this anyday of the week.

Final assesment: I did watch it, I did save it, but I wouldn't recommend it to any but the biggest of Naruto fans. if you're just getting into the series, you can skip this one unless you just need your fix.

He looks down with serenity

==page 17==

Left title thingy:
二年半の時を経て
ついにその時が訪れる
After 2 and a half years, they finally meet.

Finally get to see the new Sasuke. And that shirt's got him looking kinda gay. Almost ruins the design.

This is kinda different from the silhouette we were shown before. The collar isn't nearly as big as it was shown to be in the shadows before... Perhaps the shirt he was wearing in the shadows is now tied around his waist?

Anyways, disregarding Sasuke, the chapter wasn't too hot. If you guys are looking for proof of how many panels Kishimoto can waste in one chapter, this is it.

Updated the previous post with a translation. Would've posted it earlier, but the chapter and all the lines in it are pretty self-explanatory.

Any ideas on what those things are on his back? I doubt they're swords, as I see no handle/hilt. And they can't be a part of the rope around his waist--the bow is on the front.

Random clothing accessory? Eh...

And Sasuke's outfit is kinda fruity due to the wide open kimono-shirt thingy. Guess they had to make it accessorize with his "supaghey" CS Lv. 2. :wtf:

Seen any Sound garbs lately? Besides the rope(which is smaller, and tied in the front), and the long-sleeved, open-chested, Kimimaro-esque shirt, his clothes are completely different from what we've seen from other Sound Nin thus far.

I think I'll warm up to the design more when we I see Sasuke fight a bit. That type of clothing just doens't seem to suit the style Sasuke had in Part 1, perhaps he really has changed that much. But I will say this: This is one of the few cases in which Kishimoto has taken a few risks or two with a character design. I think the only other exception would be Shino. They both look a lot different than they did in Part 1.

I'm wondering if CN could show that one flashback where Iruka and the grey-haired guy run off into the sunset holding hands....'cause...that was...kinda gay... anyway, I'm on 149 now. I really don't care for the Iruka character....he's just not interesting. So, I viewed his fight scenes in these few episodes as a big waste of time. I kept wanting them to get back to some action involving those big fat guys. Even still, none of this is anywhere near as entertaining as that part where Shikimaru and crew have to go after Sasuke.

when Lee gets up at first in #50, that sounds like a piece of what I've seen listed as "Sasuke Destiny"...mostly the percussion part. I'm not sure what the slow, kinda sad theme is. However, you just reminded me of the awesome theme "Ultimate Secrets" that plays when he opens the Lifegates or whatever and starts bouncing around at superspeed like a pinball.

Also, Sasuke blowing Sai away with no effort whatsoever, causing a 4tailed naruto-esque explosion is interesting, he hasn't even begun to use the curse seal(and (hopefully) won't bother with it if he's improved that much)

I dunno, I'm a fan of the new Sasuke gear myself. Even the open shirt isn't bugging me after the second look. I really like how he's wearing the polar opposite of his old gear, with the white robes and all.

His new gear (and everyone else's) sucks compared to Neji's, but it's still cool IMO.

I absolutely love the way Hinata reacts to him in various situations....it's so undeniably adorable. I'd want to rip her clothes off right there and start bangin right in front of Kiba and the bug guy....yeah, she could get some of my Power-Penis Jutsu.

Come on, Naruto. Why would you even glance in Sakura's direction when the very personification of cuteness, Hinata, is all over you...passing out and getting moist simply because you bumped into her or gave her a hug, etc.? It's getting to be frustrating that he's too stupid to see this. ah, I realize this is part of the whole concept of his character though...Naruto is written purposely as an idiot, usually....it's like his "thing"....a gimmick, I guess.

Hinata is overall much cuter than any of the other young ladies on the show... short-haired Sakura is nice, but still inferior to Hinata. It's also good just to see her reactions to Naruto...I only wish broads in real life reacted so obviously to my presence....girls who aren't jailbait. If a broad reacts to me similar to how Hinata acts around Naruto...I already know the deal....I'm immediately thinking "yeah...she's 16 at the most...because life hates me like that."

Because she gave people some kind of false hope that Naruto would end up with anyone other than Sakura...which we all know has a .0000001% chance of occurring before this series is over.

Whereas the odds on hearing the pitter-patter of little blond/pink-haired babies wth super strength and Rasengans of doom...yeah, it's pretty high.

Hinata is the queen of the naruto series. She is the one who will bring peace to the world of the hidden leaf village, and she is the only one who can possibly remove the scourge know as Sakura. She, quite simply, is the one last hope that will keep the series from turning into toilet paper with spikes in it.









..............Okay, all that aside, she's one of the few showing any possible promise IMO. yeah, she's basically a Ken to Neji's Ryu, but just like Ken, she's starting to break out and not be just another clone. Yeah, she got her ass stomped by Neji in the Exams, she's also one of the ones to have the longest streak of NOT being a hostage. Yeah, I'm pretty biased as Hinata is my favorite of the series, followed closely by Kakashi, Naruto, Lee, and...........well, a lot of characters. still, she's been giving me the most to look forward to in terms of development, both powers and character wise. I personally can't wait to see what she becomes in the future.

Only thing is, this is all ANIME Hinata you're talking about. Manga version (the canon version, as we all know) has her doing...well, not a goddamn thing. No special ballerina version of Kaiten, no "potential greater than even Neji's", no fights since the Chuunin Exam, not even any screentime after the timeskip besides one cover and that 2-frame exchange when Naruto meets up with Kiba/Hinata/Shino.

I know a lot of folks here like her and all (most for a pair of obvious "reasons") but seriously, SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. In fact, it wouldn't shock me in the least if she only got one more main fight in the whole series, max. She could probably be an awesome fighter, but due to the fact that Kishi doesn't really seem to give much of a fuck about her, she'll never get to shine. At least not brighter than the more important side characters/main characters, like Lee, Neji, Naruto, Sakura, Yamato, etc.

So... About what I expected. A bunch of "..."s, and "...!"s mixed in with a bit of boring dialouge that will only serve to reconfirm what has already been established for like a hundred chapters now.

Sasuke- 'Oh right.. didn't you have a dream of becoming Hokage..?'

Sakura- 'Sa..Sasuke-kun..!'
Sasuke- 'That's why this time..

Sasuke- 'At my whim, you'll lose your life.'

Naruto- '...'
Naruto- 'A person who doesn't save one of his friends can hardly become Hokage. Isn't that right, Sasuke?'
Sasuke- 'Hmph'

Sidetext: 'On a whim I save, on a whim I kill', he says. Nothing clouds his expression. Time has changed their friend, giving him a cold heart.

Naruto is so fucked.

EDIT: hahah, Adam don't be telling me about Sasuke, I was afterall one of the few and the proud to pimp an av of his exceedingly fruity CS2 form(looked so much better with white hair, but still fruity)

This could also pave the way for the Susanoo theorists, as it definantely seems to be a unique(even if just in design) sword he has, just gotta add the mango xD.

Now is it just me, or is Naruto exceedingly stupid? What's to stop Sasuke from decapitating him(his gennosuke-esque stance immediately made me think of that) at that range? Instead of just gawking, he needs to gtfo of range.

Whatever, you Sasuke fans have a little to cheer about. Don't fret, because we all know Naruto has "THAT" jutsu stored and waiting =) I just don't want to see him humiliated in this fight, and besides nothing is going to happen to him w/ his homies right there. Jirayia wouldn't have left him if he didn't think he was skilled enough to defend himself.

With that said however, Sasuke is truly a bad ass so far. This was a great chapter! It reinforced both Naruto's and Sasuke's beliefs and explains why they are doing what they are doing. Naruto must save his friend to become Hokage and Sasuke STILL affirms that Naruto has much meaning to him by deciding to kill him.

naurto needs to get focus.....Actually he is always focus, he just sucks, he's the underdog of his own show and i think it'll always be like that. I love the clones but thats all he use's, and so stupidly at that..... bah! i guess he the character you love to hate.

Kakashi is one of the strongest of Konoha's Jounin, he's at an exceptionally high tier, but not quite high enough to easily compete with Shinobi of the Sannin's caliber(and in turn, Itachi).

I think he'll be that strong when he re-appears for a couple of reasons:
I believe that there won't be too many more developments for Sasuke in Part 2, save for Mangekyou Sharingan, and the bond he shares with his friends/will of fire mess. Because while Part 1 centered around Naruto and Sasuke's growth, I'm expecting Part 2 to center mostly around Naruto's only, as he starts developing his skills enough to become the strongest of Hokage.
Putting Sasuke's skill level that high will give Naruto that much more incentive to grow. This, coupled with the dangers associated with Naruto's tailed transformations will provide good reason for him jumping from the estimated level of a High Chuunin, or Special Jounin/Low Jounin that we see him as now, to a level strong enough to take the position of Hokage.
A lesser point, but if you take a look at Kimimaro's stat graph, he was around that level. Taking Sasuke's Sharingan and talent into consideration, along with the fact that he has amongst the highest of potential of all the characters in this series, that he has a Curse Seal with equal power to Kimimaro's, and that he is now the same age Kimimaro was in Part 1, I don't think it's far-fetched at all to conclude that he will be at least that strong when he's re-introduced.
Will SaiST end up being right? Stay tuned! >:o

This ain't just about Sasuke's strength, however. I still think he'll be a springboard for Naruto's growth.

[EDIT] - Oh and BEWD: I think the chances of seeing a Mangekyou Sharingan technique that makes use of Sasuke's sword is now kind of unlikely... Well, not any kind of Taijutsu, anyways.

In the past, I was just kind of hype on ESM's theory, but there's no way a Taijutsu could work. Mangekyou Sharingan casts Doujutsu, how could it cast Taijutsu in any way? Seems like Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are the only two things that can be cast from Mangekyou Sharingan, so if Sasuke does gain his own original Mangekyou Sharingan Doujutsu, it won't be any kind of Taijutsu.

Volume 32, Chapter 285, Page 3, Panels 2-4:

<Yamato> From here, the four of us will proceed to the Tenchi Bridge. There, we will intercept the spy Akatsuki has in Orochimaru's organization and bring them back. This is a chance for us to find out about Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke. We can gain a valuable source of information which may lead to formulating a plan to assassinate Orochimaru and take Sasuke back.

Naruto is worse than Goku at this point. They're both dumb, but Goku was at least learning new techniques and had a steady flow of pussy.

What the hell man Goku killed almost every fucking bad guy there was. The only reason the bad guys lived is cause goku was either sick or dead ! Atleast HE improved like crazy when he said he was going to train unlike dumbass naruto who cant do shit.

Sasuke's still a ***. He could always bust ass with the best of 'em, but that was never his problem...his shitty emo "ZOMG ANGST" attitude was. And THAT, after 2.5 years, is still fully intact.

I was hoping he'd become like a stoic, badass, don't give a fuck about any one particular side sort of guy...but now more than ever it seems he's headed down the "token rival who doubles as the villain" route. And every Sasuke/Sakura fan around the world is crying right now, since Sasuke being evil = no loving from Sakura when all is said and done. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if she tried to take a shot at him this very fight, if Naruto is getting whomped on.

EDIT: And I WILL laugh when Naruto turns out to be a beast and everybody is forced to shut the fuck up.

By the by, comparing Goku to Naruto is just...wrong. Goku's the only man in anime more hacked than Kira Yamato.

Man, it's going to be nice to see how Naruto reacts to this! I hope, in a way, that he doesn't do anything in order to push Sasuke to his limits. In fact, maybe sakura, sai, or yamato will be the ones going to save him... We'll see...

And something I haven't said in a REALLY long time: I can't wait to see the next chapter.

Regarding Naruto's reaction to Sasuke rushing his shit down with a sword, I'm betting that the Naruto he's about to poke a hole in is actually a Kage Bunshin. He seemed completely unfazed when Sasuke appeared in front of him, possibly meaning that not only could he see Sasuke's movement when everyone else could not, he reacted with a counter of his own that nobody saw coming.

It would kinda make sense, considering the Chiyo/Kakashi meeting where he pulled off a high-speed manuever w/Kage Bunshin incredibly similar to what Sasuke's just done now to deflect her attack.

How much?









Seriously.

He seemed completely unfazed when Sasuke appeared in front of him
His expressions on pages 14 and 16 say otherwise. His expression towards Sasuke's "threat" was as you claim though.

They showed him reacting kind of late possibly meaning that not only could he see Sasuke's movement when everyone else could not, he reacted with a counter of his own that nobody saw coming.
I fail to see how a late reaction could indicate any of that.

I was hoping he'd become like a stoic, badass, don't give a fuck about any one particular side sort of guy
Isn't that the case?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a clone. I mean, he was using a bunch of clones to search the whole place, chances are its one of them who came across Sasuke. Part of me wants to believe that he will have the balls to make Naruto take an ass whipping before giving up. The other part of me knows that somehow Naruto will show some skills he's learned from the past 2 1/2 years and hold his own, and possibly even beat Sasuke... just like every other fight Naruto's been in.

Hell, if Sasuke has to go CS2 to win, Yamato is gonna have to lift that seal already.

sasukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!


*ahem* anyway i want to se naruto get punish badly, no clone or anything. Sasuke should pull out the sword, hitem with the edge, knock him out and straight up leave, that or run it threw him and walk off! It either of those to happen and its not a clone.I WILL TRUELY become a sasuke fan..... right now he's "cool"/"straight"


I really want to see him lay waste to the whole team by looking at them!! After knocking out naurto and leaving the sword stuck in the ground threw his head protector.

Man things finally got better and it's about damn time too. However I am wondering about Sakura in all this. Maybe she will finally flip and either

1. Defend Naruto from Sasuke
2. Declare her love for Sasuke again and leave with him.

or 3

Sasuke kills her Straight up getting rid of the character we all hate once and for all.

If Sakura fails to help fight against Sasuke when the time comes, all of the development we've seen in her character so far in Part 2 will be meaningless. In my eyes, anyways.

So yeah, I'm expecting a show of power from Sasuke in the next chapter or two, but I'm not expecting any large scale fight either. I mean, Naruto's been gimped, and there's still Orochimaru(and possibly Kabuto) to worry about. I just can't see there being much of a fight here.

This has seriously been some of the most frustrating bullshit I've had to deal with on a computer in quite awhile(*seriously...I've been trying various things with this for nearly the past 2 fucking hours)....anyway, I endured that bit of hell just to finally get that cool music I was talking about...

*and here it is on rapidshare, for anyone who was curious as to exactly which theme I was talking about...this is from #126: http://rapidshare.de/files/20894413/gaara_1.mp3.html

wow, know what woulda been sick. (Of course he ruin'd this twist already but...) If naruto was just sittin there talkin to sasuke and the more hee talked the kyuubi would bring up memories of his past to make him lose control and start talkin shit in his ear like (kill... destroy...sorrow...death) and stuff like that until it gets too loud until naruto explodes. You know... Just like the berserker armor for guts. Man, that would be so sick... but... can't expect everything to go my way..;p
