Welcome to the Naruto Fan Club!

Do you ever end sentences with the word "dattebayo"? Do you think that if you run really fast, your feet will stick to the tree trunk in front of you? Or maybe you think that "Believe It!" is the coolest catch phrase of all time. If that's the case, then you're just like us!

Seek haven from the world in the "Village Hidden in the Internet" with your fellow wannabe shinobi. If you want to join the Fan Club, just post your request in the thread and I will add your name to the list. Enjoy yourselves and keep the club active. Naruto would want it that way.

Welcome, Gothic Lolita and McDoogle! Nice to see that people are joining. XD

[Kojy]

I wanna join :D, i'm fan of the serie, though i don't read the manga since i'm keeping up with the anime.

[SBJ220]

Welcome to the FC, Kojysys. I'll add you to the list now. Keep in mind tho that we'll probably be talking about a lot of spoilerific things here. I promise we'll try to spoiler tag as many as possible, but some things are bound to slip out.

[Kojy]

Na it's ok, hopefully i don't take spoilers that serious, i know much of the big moments during the manga due to my friends innocent spoiling >_>

thx for letting me join :d

[SBJ220]

No problem, Kojysys. All are welcome here. Speaking to the new members though, do any of you have Naruto fanart/fanfics that I could post on the first page? Also, if anyone's good with PhotoShop and wants to make us some banners or know where such banners could be found, you're welcome to PM them to me as well.

[Kojy]

[Kojy]

full-fledged Narutards

LOL XD, good morning everyone how is everyone going? :), i'll work on my video until i finish then i'll make some cool stuff for the FC :D *funky

[Nama]

Welcome for everyone who has joined. :) And I'm looking forward to see the video, KòjýSýS. ^^

[SBJ220]

So, let's begin our first club discussion. I assume you all know the theory that Tobi is Uchiha Obito? If not, it's pretty simple. People are theorizing that the Akatsuki member Tobi is actually Uchiha Obito.

Reasons Why:
Tobi has a mask coloured orange and black (Obito's favorite colors).
The mask has a hole in it over the only eye that Obito would still have after giving his one Sharingan eye to Kakashi.
Tobi uses ground style attacks similar to the subterranean methods Kakashi used when training Naruto/Sakura/Sasuke

If I'm forgetting anything, I apologize. However, that's the gist of the theory. So... Discuss...

[Kojy]

Well i don't read the manga but i've seen fan akatsuki flash vids and they pretty mcuh shown that Tobi is Uchiha Obito, if they released Kakashi Gaiden in anime we could see better if he had that "good boy" behave.

[Kristen]

Wow. I'm not really aware of this... seeing I just got into Naruto a few months ago and i'm only on chapter 288ish and they just introduced Tobi like two chapters ago or so. xD? But those reasons seem really interesting and logical. It's really making me... think.

[SBJ220]

Well, something just happened in the recent chapters of the manga that assists the theory. Still no proof, but I'm not going to post it here just yet. I want to hear more discussion about the idea before I add the latest bit of news.

[Gothic Lolita]

if Tobi si REALLY Obito, then what came onto that man's soul to jst join akatsuki like that ? is he not a good character ? ... Well, if he really is, then i would like to see Kakashi facing against him. If Obito's behavior is the same like Tobi then am sure that kakashi could tell, then maybe knock his mask off and then we would all have closure bout it. Not that i would not find it amusing. But i hate is when good guys turn bad. And sasuke/itachi dont count. >_> lol

[SBJ220]

Well, okay. While we're waiting for our other members and soon-to-be members to chime in on my discussion topic, let's hear who all your favorite character are.

My Loves:

Haruno Sakura
Hyuuga Hinata
Uzumaki Naruto
Jiraiya
Uchiha Sasuke
Sabaku no Temari
Sabaku no Gaara

...that's not really everyone I love, but I guess it's the top 7.

[Gothic Lolita]

you like Sasuke ?? o_o ... never knew that.

Well i like:
Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Itachi
Gaara
Hatake kakashi
Hyuuga neji
hyuuga hinata
Yondaime



we should find a way to brighten the FC abit.

[Kojy]

Oh you guys forgot Rock Lee!, he's my favourite along with Gaara :D

[SBJ220]

Shippuuden episode 18 RAW:

http://bt.saiyaman.info/

Shippuuden episode 18 Translation:

(none yet)

[Kojy]

ahh thx for the link SBJ :D
too bad it's not a special since they didn't release anything last week :/

[EternalDream]

Well...I'm a little late for the "Tobi =?= Obito" discussion, but my thoughts are rather simple on the whole thing: If he is, YAY. If he isn't, YAY. I'm so simple I just flow wherever the breeze takes me. XD

Favorite Characters...hmm, I love all of the Naruto characters...;_; but if I were being forced to choose these would be my top 10:

Naruto
Sasuke
Hinata
Gaara (4some with him and all of the above please XD)
Suigetsu
Itachi
Tobi
Juugo
Sakura
Shino

[EternalDream]

Yes, I'm a horrible person for double posting...

Anyone read the lastest chapter yet? I love Deidara's reactions to Tobi. XD

[Sergelia]

Can I join? Oh, can I? ...please?

If the latest chapter is 359, yes I've read it. It's... fine, I guess. I can't wait for the next one though; it is bound to be so-much-more interesting. Sasuke looks very much like his Part I self (when he's not using the CS2). For one crazy moment I thought it was a flashback.

My top 5 would be:
1. Uchiha Sasuke
2. Uzumaki Naruto
3. Haruno Sakura
4. Hyuuga Neji
5. Gaara

Yes, a Sasuke-fan and damn proud of it. And one of the true fans of Ex-Team-7, part I Sakura and all. She wasn't as bad as people make her out to be.
I might make some banners next week. *nods*

[SBJ220]

Welcome to the FC, Sergelia. I'll update the ember list asap. You're welcome to make us any banners you please, but Sasuke? Ugh! Lol, just kidding, mate. Glad to have you with us.

[Darkhope]

Joinage. Naruto is my favorite series. :)

It's just.. so interesting. And touching. I could go on and on and on about how deep the series is and how amazing the character's [Naruto, preferbily] is.

Also, it's the one and ONLY series that made me consider supporting a yaoi pairing. LOL.

My favorite characters are Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata. But I really don't hate any of the characters either. Amoung them, Naruto is my number one. I can explain why, if I'm allowed to rant here? ^^

[SBJ220]

And welcome to the FC, Darkhope. I'm glad to hear you're so interested in Naruto and compelled to read it. The yaoi thing... not so much, lol. :p

And you're more than welcome to rant all you want. I just need you to stay on topic of Naruto (manga or anime). As long as you keep your rant to Naruto-related things... well, Hell girl, that's what this FC was made for. :D

[Darkhope]

Thank you. <3

Well, I said it gave me the idea. But don't worry, I didn't fall for SasuNaru. >_> I stopped myself! http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/6770/boxzb8.gif

Awesome. Yay for rantings. >D Why I like Uzumaki Naruto


Why I like Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto, the main protagonist in the popular series, Naruto. I admit, it's very hard to describe in words and nail down the exact reasons as to why I like him so much, and why he's my favorite character. Usually, I hate the main characters. Well.. hate might be to strong of a word. Mildly dislike is much better suited. Anyway, I love both his heart, and the passion he brings into the series. He always finds someway to pull through, even when he fails constantly. The bonds he made with Team 7, with other characters, how he always tries to find good in everyone is very admirable. [For example, when he says to Haku... if things were different: "We could have been friends." And how he knew the pain Gaara was going through: "The pain of being alone... is out of this world, isn't it? I understand your feelings so much... it hurts."] His friendship/brother ship/rivalry with Sasuke is in my opinion, one of the best relationships in manga/anime history. When Naruto makes a promise, he will never break it. Otherwise, that goes against his nindo, a nindo that he created himself.

He's a failure!

One of the reasons why I like Naruto is because he's NOT perfect. It would be boring if the main character had no flaws. Actually, I think just about every character in this series has some type of flaw. Naruto has improved a great deal since part one. Kakashi even commented that he has surpassed him, and is the only one that may be able to surpass the 4th Hokage. This does not mean he's perfect. Do not forget, he did fail to bring back Sasuke once again post time.

"If I can't get to the other side, I'll always just be a kid. Please don't keep me from crossing that bridge."
-Chapter 340

He knows he can not be babied any longer. In order to save Sasuke and protect those precious to him, he must become stronger on his own.

A few weeks ago; last month, people were complaining and ranting on how Naruto would own Kakazu. This was around chapter 340 when he failed the first time, and some were angry. I think people were missing the point. It was like Naruto: Return of the underdog. I thought that was the main idea. I'm glad Naruto didn't win the first time, because he DID look like a Mary Sue. Just a tad. Naruto has failed in the past and he will never be perfect. He is NOT a “zong!1! MAIN MALE HERO THAT COMES AND SAVES THE DAY11!!” No. He is a character that went from being a COMPLETE dropout, to a character that is incredible.

He's annoying!

In the beginning, yes, Naruto was a bit annoying. But we all know why. When we first see Naruto, he is introduced as a trouble making brat. It's revealed why he is like that-He is the container of the Kyuubi. [Nine tailed fox] Sandaime discloses why Naruto was the “class clown.” It was to become the center of attention; something he lacked throughout his childhood years. It was apparent that Naruto was thrown into a cold world of hatred and scorn by a destiny beyond his control. Throughout his childhood, he is hated, and unloved by almost the entire village.
Nevertheless, he never let it show. Keeping a constant smile, and swearing to become the greatest Hokage the village has ever known, so that he would gain respect and acceptance. In gist, he wants to overcome the hate and show them all that he is actually worth something. He was the only one to fail the Genin Exam, yet he proved himself later on to earn the title. He makes mistakes, but he learns from them. He gets frustrated and angry, but he never forgets what his goals are and what really matters. He is the number one, unpredictable, hyperactive, knuckle-headed Ninja. He gradually gains respect among many, including the members of Team 7; his important bond of friendship.

Of course, Naruto will always be Naruto.

A Dream To Become Hokage

Kakashi: How about your dreams and goals (...) Now it's your turn.

Naruto: Me!! Me!! My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I like cup ramen! What I like even more is the restaurant ramen Iruka sensei buys me! What I dislike is waiting 3 minutes for the ramen to cook... My dream...

Kakashi: *thinking* Does he think about anything else besides raman?

Naruto: ...is to surpass all the Hokages! And then... have all the people of this village acknowledge my existence!!
-Chapter 4

"Like there's any chance someone who can't save a friend could become Hokage. Don't you think... Sasuke."
-Chapter 307

Yes, we have heard him say it a million times by now. As I previously stated, Naruto's goal is to become Hokage, so that the entire village would acknowledge him. While this is still his goal, it has changed a bit in my opinion. In addition to becoming Hokage, I think Naruto now understands the importance of the bonds he has made with his friends, and will do anything to keep them. Sasuke had asked Naruto why he would go this far for him. Naruto responded by saying that it was one of his first bonds. Sasuke is like a brother to him.

Naruto uses Kage Bunshin and Rasengan too much! He needs new jutsus!

Yeah, yeah those are his most used attacks, but at least he recently came up with SOME type of new technique. [even though he's forbidden to use it now. xD] Besides, who cares? As long as he gets the job done, I don't see why he can't use them. It's better to master two good jutsus rather than know about ten and completely mess them up in my opinion.

Kyuubi and Naruto's Emotions

We all know Naruto is sensitive. Always was, and always will be. If his friends are in trouble, or if innocent people are in danger, his emotions will trigger. Everyone needs to cry sometimes. And it's okay. Naruto really does not have control over his emotions, I will not deny this. He speaks his mind, and follows his heart. Really, who could blame him? Look at his past and how badly he was treated. He cried back then. Maybe not much, because he tried to act tough, but we have seen scenes in which he's cried. I don't think anyone would be “human” if they did not have emotions. These emotions and feelings is what makes him, himself.

The Kyuubi is probably one of the many things that has hurt him. But at the same time, it has saved him. When Naruto is half dead, Kyuubi can heal him. And Naruto is protecting people by just BEING the container, that way, the Kyuubi is unable to destroy villages and kill various amounts of individuals.

All in all, Naruto being a “kind” and “good” character isn't a bad thing. He still has that cocky sense of humor, he's stubborn, and is a hothead. His personality is what attracts me to him.

Well... those were just some of the reasons as to why I like Naruto. I have to work on the more in depth essay. ^^;

Sorry for it being so long. I have a post on Sakura as well. But it's not that long. xD She's not even one of my favorites. But I do like her. <3

[SBJ220]

Holy cow, Darkhope. You reeeeeeally love this guy don't you? Hehe. I love him too. Anyway, maybe in the near future, you'll tell us why you love Sakura too, eh? This is afterall, the Naruto series FC. Not just the character FC.

[Darkhope]

Hence why I put it in spoiler tags. :P I love Naruto. Yes. xD But I have a habit on writing LAPs, [long ass posts] no matter what the topic is.

Sakura?

The main reason is because I can relate to her. Back when I was young, I was always shy and innocent like she was. Though the difference is that I always had friends and never got made fun of. But still, I could be shy when I had to be. I was... boy crazy too. [But I didnt scream out his name like a fangirl xD] And Ive had torn feelings for many people... :/

What I like most about Sakura is her development. In the beginning she was made "unlikable" on purpose. [stated by Kishi] But as the story went on, Sakura realized that she had to do something. Something so that she could protect her important people. Something so that she would not always fade away into the backround. I found it admirable. [Heck I CRIED watching Episode 32 xD] "Sakura Blooms" is indeed one of my favorite episodes. Not only does it show Sakura was willing to protect Sasuke/Naruto/Lee/everyone else, but she showed growth. When she fought Ino, she did not want her to goes easy on her. Both episodes--Sakura vs Ino and Sakura Blooms held comparisons to each other. It showed Sakura was willing to step out of Ino's shadow and forge a path on her own for once.

Asking Tsunade to become her student moved me. As a SasuSaku fan, I do infact believe her MAIN motivation for that was Sasuke. But that does not mean she will not protect Naruto as well. "I will save them both!" We all know how well she has developed since part 1, so I feel I don't need to go into detail about her part 2 growth.

Sakura still has a long way to go before blooming into that beautiful flower, the flower even "greather than a cosmos." However... There is no denying that she is no longer a bud, but perhaps a stem, a stem that is waiting patiently to bloom.

[Grimmjow]

Naruto FTW. Sign me up.

[SBJ220]

Welcome, Grimmjow. I'll be calling you Jaguar Jack, lol. So, tell us why you love Naruto. Favorite characters and all that.

[StarryInoueSky]

Alright, so I'm a member here and I'm obsessed with Naruto but haven't really posted... *sigh*

Anyways my favorite characters are:
Uzumaki Naruto
Hatake Kakashi
Hyuuga Hinata
Haruno Sakura
Sai

and that's it... Yeah. :) I dislike Sasuke after he becomes a 'tard and leaves, but the Sasuke before that is <3. And I hope Deidara does not die... I'd hate for Sasuke to have a victory... though that also means Sasuke could fight with Tobi and THAT would be interesting. :)

I hated Naruto. I laothed it and thought it was the stupidest thing on Earth. Then I watched a filler episode: 148 and I thought it was cute. Went back and began watching it from the first episode. Got hooked badly and am now obsessed with it. :) It's different, funny and I like the characters. They're yay. Some aren't so yay but whatever. Plus it has a lot of mystery in it and I like that.

[Grimmjow]

I've been a Naruto fan...since ever. There's no questioning why it's so big right now. Its only downfall ( for the anime ) is the DAMN fillers. I have no idea how hardcore fans sat through all of those episodes.

My favorite characters are:
Uzumaki Naruto
Nara Shikamaru
Uchiha Itachi
Uchiha Sasuke
Sabaku no Gaara
Hatake Kakashi

[StarryInoueSky]

Its only downfall ( for the anime ) is the DAMN fillers. I have no idea how hardcore fans sat through all of those episodes.


In my opinion, some weren't really that bad... I thought the Shino one was stupid though... but funny. Still, I enjoyed watching the fillers because we got to see some characters history, background and such. We also saw Naruto deal with different feelings and such. Especially with the whole, "gotta find Sasuke!" feeling.

I love the manga and the anime seems to be getting there. lol but yeah, some fillers were ugh.

And Darkhope after reading your bit about why you love Naruto (the character) I was nodding like crazy! 'Cause those are the same reasons why I love him and he's my favorite. I was also nodding while reading the Sakura bit.

She's changed and matured throughout the series, and I like that. We get to see a different side of her as well as more of her. I loved her Sasori fight, it shows how much she's improved mentally and physically. I'm also happy that she's stopped her whole, "Naruto is stupid! I hate Naruto! Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke!" and that she's showing how much she cares for both of the boys. Before she was a crazy fangirl, but now she's turning into a caring friend. :) yay!

[Grimmjow]

You're right, some of the fillers were actually pretty good but I didn't stick around long enough. If the fillers did actually focused more on exploring the background and origins of the least developed characters, then I really don't think I'd consider them horrible. >_>

But MOST, oh my god. A complete waste of time. I just resumed the manga instead.

[Darkhope]

Yeah, some fillers weren't bad. I liked the one about Anko, and the Bikochuu arc the best. ;)

And anything with NaruHina. Which was alot. *shot* @_@ xD

I think alot of people have similar reasons as to why they like Naruto as mine and yours. After all, those are the traits that make Naruto, himself. He is Naruto: The dropout. Not Naruto: Sasuke. LOL.

I like Sakura because she isn't perfect. Same with Hinata and alot of the other characters. Having flaws and trying to improve is what makes them great characters. Sasuke... I'm not sure how I would explain it. He's my second favorite character, but he's different from Naruto. He's NOT a dropout and was never hated. I'll have to make up a post later. Going back to Sakura, she annoyed me at times, but I got used to her "Sasuke-kunnnn". xD See, Sasuke was a main motivation for Sakura. It was even because of him that she started being nicer to Naruto. [When he called her annoying, she decided she should be nicer to Naruto] She stopped her "fangirling" back in chuunin. Then on out, she went from a fangirl who didn't do anything but worship Sasuke, to someone who wanted to HELP him and cared about him. Being a SasuSaku fan, I believe her feelings grew into genuine love. She understands his ambitions now more than ever. =P

[SBJ220]

Wow, you guys have some very detailed opinions about the series. I'm very pleased with the crowd we've gathered her at the FC. I have a question though. If you could choose one character and one character only that most represents "the you who you believe yourself to be", who would it be? For instance, I feel most like Jiraiya. I'm very humorous and I'm always giving advice to all my friends (like Jiraiya gives advice and training to Naruto). But like Jiraiya, I'm also a Mega Perv! Lol. So, tell me. Who are you?

[AnimeGirlPan]

may i join up old pal i think

[SBJ220]

Yes, of course you can join up, Pan. Welcome to the FC and pot much. :)

[Sergelia]

Uh. I'd liken myself to the Part II Sakura, I think, but I don't think any character of the series is completely like me. Luckily. It'd suck.

Anyway, yes, Sasuke, SBJ220. xD Do not worry. I love all the characters, and I'm not a crazed fangirl. I won't say what my favorite ship is though. People tend to misunderstand. >__> You can guess, can't you.

But in all truth, if it was a possibility, my favorite thing about manga is Ex-Team 7. The only thing bad about it is that between two of Konoha's most powerful Genin's Sakura just got no opportunity to shine. I was glad they broke apart because of that alone - she needed to grow out of her Sasuke-kun obsession. She did just that. Even if I'm not a NaruSaku shipper, I'm happy she started to accept Naruto; lord knows he needs as much support as he can get, especially if it's his precious Sakura-chan offering it.
I love Naruto too. He's an awesome protagonist, and when I hear some of my fellow Sasuke fans that "Naruto sucks1 Sasuke should've been the main char, yo" my blood boils. The series is fine just the way it is, thank you very much. Naruto wasn't created to be the All-owning superhero. He presents the story perfectly; the story of the underdog slowly overcoming all obstacles and reaching his goals.

Darkhope, AWESOME rant. I also can't stand it when people complain that he abandoned his dream of becoming Hokage just to hunt Sasuke. Sasuke got that idea as well, I think, but as he spent those three years cutting his bonds with everyone, it's not a big wonder he can't understand something like that. The only thing that really worried me about Naruto is how he just broke down and started to *cry* when he failed (again) to "save" his ex-BFF. I mean, cry. Ahwell, guess one just becomes really, really sensitive after witnessing someone he cares about going all "Oh, that snakeman can have my life, my afterlife, my body and my free tickets for Starbucks for all I care."

Yeah... that can really get to a person.

[Gintoki]

Can i join? It's no more my favourite Shounen Series, but i still like it :)

[SBJ220]

Welcome to the FC, Gintoki. Glad to have you with us. Sorry to hear that Naruto is no longer your favorite, but hey... Bleach used to be my favorite and now it's not. I still like it, but Naruto has surpassed it. So anyway, Sergelia. No, I can't really guess what your favorite pairing is, but I won't ask. :p. I'm glad you're so into the series though. And don't worry about being a crazy fangirl. i'm a crazy fanboy, afterall. :D.

[StarryInoueSky]

I think I'm more like... Naruto in some ways. *shrugs* Not a dropout though but clueless and yeah. Though there's also a bit of Hinata in me. LOL I really don't think there's an actual Naruto character that has my traits, just some.

[Gintoki]

I've seen you guys posting your favourite chars, so here are mine, in no particular order:

- Konoha's Yellow Flash (Yondaime)
- Might Guy
- Tenten
- Kisame

[Kojy]

Long time no see beloved FC :D, been busy with real life so i took on time to say hi :p.

Is there a announced date for Naruto Shippuden OST?, because i really want to get it *drools*.

ps: sorry about my video, due to being busy i couldn't finish yet but i promise then when i will, i'll post here

:)

[Gintoki]

As far is i know only the date of the Shippuuden Movie OST is announced, but not the one from the series. I guess it won't come before the end of the year.

[Kojy]

aw that sucks :/, really wanted to get it but still i'm really anticipating the movie too :), for the small trailer they released it seemed to be pretty intense :o

[Darkhope]

Welcome new members!

Wow, you guys have some very detailed opinions about the series. I'm very pleased with the crowd we've gathered her at the FC. I have a question though. If you could choose one character and one character only that most represents "the you who you believe yourself to be", who would it be? For instance, I feel most like Jiraiya. I'm very humorous and I'm always giving advice to all my friends (like Jiraiya gives advice and training to Naruto). But like Jiraiya, I'm also a Mega Perv! Lol. So, tell me. Who are you?

Jiraiya?! YOU ERO-SENIN! :p

Myself? Naruto, hands down. I've even taken some of those "which Naruto character are you" quizes and I've gotten Naruto on every single one of them. xD I'm loud, I can be annoying and stupid sometimes, I love ramen, I love my friends, I have a personality, I'm funny, caring, and determined.

Sums up Naruto nicely, me thinks.



But in all truth, if it was a possibility, my favorite thing about manga is Ex-Team 7. The only thing bad about it is that between two of Konoha's most powerful Genin's Sakura just got no opportunity to shine. I was glad they broke apart because of that alone - she needed to grow out of her Sasuke-kun obsession. She did just that. Even if I'm not a NaruSaku shipper, I'm happy she started to accept Naruto; lord knows he needs as much support as he can get, especially if it's his precious Sakura-chan offering it.
I love Naruto too. He's an awesome protagonist, and when I hear some of my fellow Sasuke fans that "Naruto sucks1 Sasuke should've been the main char, yo" my blood boils. The series is fine just the way it is, thank you very much. Naruto wasn't created to be the All-owning superhero. He presents the story perfectly; the story of the underdog slowly overcoming all obstacles and reaching his goals.

Darkhope, AWESOME rant. I also can't stand it when people complain that he abandoned his dream of becoming Hokage just to hunt Sasuke. Sasuke got that idea as well, I think, but as he spent those three years cutting his bonds with everyone, it's not a big wonder he can't understand something like that. The only thing that really worried me about Naruto is how he just broke down and started to *cry* when he failed (again) to "save" his ex-BFF. I mean, cry. Ahwell, guess one just becomes really, really sensitive after witnessing someone he cares about going all "Oh, that snakeman can have my life, my afterlife, my body and my free tickets for Starbucks for all I care."

Yeah... that can really get to a person.

I'm a Team 7 tard. I miss the old Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura. But Sai grew on me. It was the penis jokes. xD I do believe the original Team 7 will be reunited again and Sasuke will return to Konoha. It's been foreshadowed and is obvious as hell. Anyone who thinks Sasuke is truly evil is... blind. Sorry to say, but it's true. Kishi has been throwing it in our faces that Sasuke is GOOD. He planned everything from the beginning. Hell does the quote "You're such a leaf ninja" [Sui says that to Sasuke] mean nothing? :confused: Hell, Sasuke becomes more "human" within every chapter that passes. As for Sakura, I think she's been a pretty fundamental character. She'll never be as important/centric as Naruto or Sasuke, simply because the series is based upon NARUTO AND SASUKE and bonds/acceptence; with Team 7 on the side.

Sakura isn't a "fangirl" anymore, but I think it's evident her feelings for Sasuke HAVE NOT faded in the least. It's not the SasuSaku shippers that have to prove that Sakura is "out of love" with Sasuke, simply because the last time feelings were confirmed, Sakura was still in love with Sasuke. It's the NaruSaku shippers that have to prove she prefers Naruto over Sasuke romantically. Which they can't. :rolleyes: Sakura liking Naruto more was bound to happen and I'm also glad it did. It had to. NaruSaku was the weakest link in Team 7 pretime. In part one, SasuSaku and SasuNaru were the main focuses. Now in part two, Sakura has worked with Naruto to save their missing link. Sasuke.

Thanks! Naruto in no way has abandoned his dream. However, Sasuke does come before that. Hence his statement: "Like anyone could become Hokage when he couldn't even save his friend. Isn't that right, Sasuke?" <3

I don't think Sasuke really wanted to cut off his bonds--He planned everything from the beginning. Besides, if he REALLY wanted to, he could have by killing Naruto and Sakura. But he didn't. Sasuke is such a complex character [which is why I love him].

Naruto crying isn't new or surprising. He always had trouble controlling his emotions. But here is an example of progress: When Kabuto mentioned Sasuke in the recent chapters, Naruto DID NOT get hyped up. Actually, he didn't say anything. ;)

[AnimeGirlPan]

I would have to say im kinda like Naruto because he is a hero to a point in a way and I like to help others and try to protect and all that crap

[Gintoki]

:p.

Is there a announced date for Naruto Shippuden OST?, because i really want to get it *drools*.





Are there any outstanding Pieces? I have watched the eps so far, but there wasn't a song, which would stay in my memories like "Sadness & Sorrow" or "Raising Fighting Spirit" from the Classic series. Maybe 1-2 good tunes, like the Bell-Test Preparation Theme, or the song they used in the fights, though i don't think it fits. It's too harmless and too harmonic, which makes it sound more like a Victory theme

I don't think Shippuuden has a bad OST, only that it's inferior to that Normal Naruto OST. But well, we haven't heard all tracks so far, so let's hope for some new tunes.

[Byakuya]

Anime watcher and manga reader here, joinage please. =3

[Tessa07]

Joinage!!!

[Nama]

Welcome, Byakuya and Tessa07! Who are your favorite characters from Naruto? :3

Naruto crying isn't new or surprising. He always had trouble controlling his emotions. But here is an example of progress: When Kabuto mentioned Sasuke in the recent chapters, Naruto DID NOT get hyped up. Actually, he didn't say anything. ;)

Hmm. We did, however, get a pretty nice view of Naruto's face going all "OMFG!! *freakout*" >__> It's not like Naruto to ignore Sasuke's name being said; even when the boy was in Konoha, Team 7, very much safe and normal, Naruto had the bad habit of jumping as soon as someone would say "Sasu....". Eh.

Totally agreed with what you said, except maybe for Sasuke rejoining team 7 (not to forget that team 7 doesn't exist anymore, it's Team Kakashi now). Obviously he's not evil, but I just cannot imagine him killing Itachi and just wandering happily back into Konoha like nothing happened. He's going to need serious therapy if things go as he planned.

[Sola]

Yes! Naruto all the way!

[Tessa07]

The new Naruto Shippuden ending rocks!!

[Gintoki]

I didn't like the it, it was even worse than the new bleach ending, which already sucked so much.

[Sola]

I dont like the song but I like how they put the manga stuff in.

[Darkhope]

Love the new ending. High school. Hinata giving Naruto that love letter is teh cute. <3

That's true. It was a shock to him. At least he improved though. xD Maybe Kishi will eleborate more when we actually see Naru/Hina/Yama again. Right now it's all on Sasuke vs Deidara. You know, it's not that I don't like seeing Sasuke, but really, Kishi needs to show show other things too. Kubo > Kishi. -_-; At least Kubo shows other interactions along with the battles.

I think Sasuke will return and they will be Team 7 again. =P Sai will... not sure. Maybe Suigetsu will be confirmed as his brother and they will live together? Hahaha just a theory. xD I think Sasuke killing Itachi and then staying in Konoha is just what he wants. After he fulfills his ambitions, I don't see any reason as to why he won't return to Konoha. ;)

[Gintoki]

Suigetsu is Sai's brother?

I thought they already confirmed that Kimimaro was his brother. He already said his brother died on illness few years ago, and the haircolor in his books is the same as Kimimaros.

[Sola]

Anyone read the manga yet? He died.

[SBJ220]

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, my friends. But have any of you seen the new chapter. Creepy, ne?

[Sexta Espada]

Geez! Why didn't I joined this FC yet. Joinage!

[Sola]

Yeah. He has gone insane.

[SBJ220]

Ok, I just updated the membership list. If I've missed you or added you when you didn't want to be added, please tell me. As yes 仮面の軍勢, Deidara has lost his freaking mind.

[Sola]

Hes also disgusting. Wet piece of crap spews out from his chest....ugghhh...

[Raiden]

Deidara is dead :cry, I will miss you Deidara :cry

btw Joinage... don't know why I didn't join earlier

[Sola]

Next up comes Tobi.

[Raiden]

Tobi cannot be cut... thus cannot die

[SBJ220]

Well, every member of Akatsuki has some sort of "immortal" ability. Just because he can't be sliced, doesn't mean he can't die. Lol, he could be pummeled to death by Sakura's fists.

[Raiden]

well Tobi is a little different lol, he is like a hologram. Sasuke slices right threw him yet doesn't get cut. That immortality is different from Hidan who can deal with physical pain and has high regenerative abilities. Kakuzu just subsitutes peoples hearts. Sasori created himself to a puppet, but had a weak point.

So so for nothing proves tobi can get hurt. I see him just on the ground thinking he was hurt but actually undamaged from the bomb.

[SBJ220]

I see your point, believe me, but no antagonist is truly immortal. I've yet to come across a series where the bad guy(s) didn't die in the end or become good guys. If they stay bad guys till the end, my experience has always shown me death. Of all the Akatsuki, I hope he doesn't die tho. He's the one I'm rooting for... well, maybe Itachi too, but he's a little too nuts to go good.

[Gintoki]

Phew, finally this fights comes to an end. One of the most boring ones, but i don't like the whole arc either. Hidan and Kakuzu Arc was great but this one... i don't know. Now it's time for Tobi to watch the flowers from the bottom.

[Serph]

Can I join please? :)

[Raiden]

lol Gintoki, you actually thought this fight was boring... I thought it was pretty great XD, I wasn't even a Deidara fan before this fight, and he is like become my fav. character after it. I think watching Grimm vs. Ichi 3... I would think anything would be less boring.

Well the early Oro encounter was shit.. I hate the Sasuke hype. The Deidara vs. Sasuke fight resurrected this arc.

The Hidan, Kakuzu arc in the beginning was awesome. But Kishimoto totally shitted his writing towards the end. He totally killed Hidan and Kakuzu by plot. How the hell does Kakuzu become stupid all of sudden. And Hidan didn't even have a chance to fight back.

[SBJ220]

Welcome to the FC, Serph. Of corse you can join!

@Griffith: I haven't totally caught up with the entire fight. I was just waiting till it ended to read it, but I'm told it was actually one of the more boring fights. I'll have to see which stance I agree with when I finish all the chapters. :p

[AnimeGirlPan]

I got a Question concerning Naruto:
What is his strongest attack?

[Raiden]

FRS atm, but it seems he cannot use it because it does damage to himself.

[Gothic Lolita]

i think its a shame that he cant use since its really helpful during fights. such a shame, i waited for so long for Naruto to come up with a new move so that i would consider him to be cool in my book, but that was pure saddening :( ... i hope he can find a way to use it with out hurting himself.

[SBJ220]

Well, FRS may be his strongest attack, but if he ever fully accessed the Kyuubi, attacks wouldn't matter. The only way Yondaime defeated that thing in the first place was to trap both their souls in the abyss. As I figure it, if ever Naruto were to fully accept and embrace the Kyuubi, he would decimate all in his path. Now, it's a given that 4 tails starts burning his skin and all that, but if he accessed 7 tails, he'd be unstoppable. Albeit for only a split second until he spontaneously combusted. But yes, that was entirely a tangent post and FRS is his current max attack, lol.

[Gothic Lolita]

Naruto fanarts ... akatsuki soon !

Thanks much for all these great images, Lolita. I'll be sure to add them to the first post asap.

EDIT: this could be total bullshit considering it's from 4chan, but we may have the first images of the Akatsuki leader and his female counterpart.

Looks very promising. So there's always a bigger fish. I hope it's not someone we already know, because I don't like Plot Twists in Naruto.

[Raiden]

this is a very good ch, Deidara went out like the star he should... Sasuke got injured badly summoned Manda, have some Itachi, kisame convo.. See AL and blue haired girls faces, and their is someone beyond AL. (probably Yondaime).

Guess all those Yondy is AL fanatics are heart broken right now lol.

HOLY GUACAMOLE!! I got spoiled on this weeks naruto....:cry Do you guys mind using a spoiler tag next time please?

Yes how dare you people spoil Lilium when that is clearly my job. >:3

Ehhh sorrry..are you an anime watcher??

[Gintoki]

If IT'S Yondaime that would pretty much screw up the story for me, since he's my favourite char of Naruto. I hope he's alive but i don't want him to join the bad guys :(

[Lilium]

@Sola
It's alright. I read the manga but I don't view the spoilers, and I don't think everyone read spoilers, or maybe that's just me :cry. Anyways, now that you mention it, there could be anime only watchers here.

Well, AL looks quite young...:wtf And Blue-hair is pretty.

[Sergelia]

To me AL looks like a gangsta version of Naruto. For real.
Okay, so maybe the hypno eyes weren't needed, but Kishi had to make them fancy so they'd match the Uchiha. Whatever.

Oh and one more thing - honestly to me it seems like Sasuke has taken over Kishimoto's mind. He haunts Kishi in dreams, he appears in mirrors. Kishi sees his face instead of his wife's in bed. Really.

Well... that would explain a lot, anyway.

[Sola]

AL has freckles. :rotflmao

[Sergelia]

That's his super power. <33

[Gintoki]

Heh, i suppose we better not call him AL anymore, rather right Hand of the AL :P

[Raiden]

btw chinese scan out:

[Gintoki]

yo thx for the link. So the female seems also very important since she's the partner of the "leader". I just wonder if Tobi really died, too.

[StarryInoueSky]

I really hope Tobi does not die... I don't want Sasuke to have that many 'killings'. *pouts*

[Gothic Lolita]

@Inoue: i highly think that sasuke killed that much. He mostly hurts his opponents when battling. and since Deidara ****** himself then that doesnt consider as killing.

Tho i DO need to know if the theories on Tobi are true, about his real identity. it would be shame if he died now. but i it shows in the rough translation that he wont get killed, so lets hope thats true. :)

[StarryInoueSky]

I seriously did not want Deidara to do that but whatever... it was better than letting Sasugay finish the job.

As for Tobi's real identity... I want to know too! I think it will be interesting if Tobi really is Obito... I wonder what Sasuke's reaction would be, to find another Uchiha in Akatsuki... but a part of me doesn't want Tobi to be Obito... *huggles Rin*

[Gothic Lolita]

I seriously did not want Deidara to do that but whatever... it was better than letting Sasugay finish the job.

now now .. we dont bash or flame a character. :) that is one of the first rules of the FCs ... since am a Sasuke fan myself. and i dont think its proper to start calling other people's fav chara bad names. dont you agree ? ^_^

am not very fond of Naruto, but still, i find it not proper to call him bad names since many people wont like it. :o


as for the other things, if masashi really DID decide to finaly reveale Tobi's real identity then i think we might learn some new info on the Uchiha clan, specially on what exactly happened to Tobi. i really cant wait to see that !! ^^

[Sergelia]

It's official now. Sasuke is God In Waiting, put in the body of a 12-15 year old womanbait till his full powers awakened. *glares*

Seriously Kishi, space-time-jutsu? WTH? Sasuke is my favorite character and I'm glad as hell he's not dead (I swear, what with my Bleach favorite character being suspected dead and my dad being in hospital, I honestly broke down crying when I heard "Sasuke died too"), but this is getting RIDICULOUS. It can't just be luck, the boy is invulnerability personified.
I'm glad we saw some SasuHonesty there, though.

And as far as Akatsuki-are-just-puppets plot twist goes, it just means Kishimoto pulled at least ONE unpredictable thing in Naruto: Shippuden. >__> No big deal. It's obvious Itachi has his own agenda anyway.

BTW Is it just me or was this the first time someone actually proposed Sasuke's Sharingan will become better than Itachi's Sharingan? So far it's only been about them supposedly becoming equal as far as I'm informed.

[Lilium]

@Sergelia
I share your sentiments. I'm a sasuke fan myself, but I did think that sasuke summoning manda, casting a genjutsu, releasing the summon spell to return to the summon dimension (I think that's what happen :headscratch) all within that short time frame was a little farfetched. But i'm glad he's alright ^_^. And whoo itachi showed emotion!! <333 He looked so sad standing there all forlornly after everyone left. Al and BH looks awesome and a new villain. A fantastic chapter if i say so myself.

About sasuke's eyes surpassing itachi's, orochimaru said that once in the Forest of Death during the chuunin exams.

[Sergelia]

Hmm, that's possible. Thanks Lilium!

But... Itachi sad is somewhat disturbing O__o

It's nice to see Team Hebi acting like this. They almost act like *friends*. I'd have never imagined Sasuke showing his weaknesses this freely in front of mere pawns.

[Lilium]

Yes, Suigetsu was <333 this chapter. He loves animals. How cute is that. *fangirls* Yeah, it was sweet to see team hebi caring about sasuke's wellbeing, suigetsu even showed concern (no yaoi jokes lol). And sasuke puts quite a lot of trust in them seeing as his backup plan involved suigetsu summoning manda to bring him back. If suigetsu betrayed him, would that mean sasuke would be trapped in the other dimension for all eternity? O_O

[StarryInoueSky]

Well I apologize Gothic Lolita if I offended you for calling Sasuke that.

--

What episode is the anime on? It's almost two months since I last saw it!

[Gothic Lolita]

@Inoue: am not offended dear ^_^ ... i jst think its better so we can avoid a flame war :hug



@Lili: well I hope that he doesnt betray him XD ... they make a noice team together. and i have yet to see Karen do something special and helpful the the group :p

Hello all. Sorry for being MIA for the last few days. I was attending Otakon in Baltimore. Welcome to all new members and Yay for AL and Lady Blue. I'll make sure to add all new members to the main page asap.

[Sergelia]

Hmm, this was posted at NF (I'm not a member there, I just lurk, but nonetheless I thought it should be here).

Posted by auvixa on NarutoForums:
http://auvixa.com/x/naruto_pein.gif

Thoughts? What is "AL"'s possible connection to Naruto? Since the popular theory is that the Fourth was Naruto's old man, and I won't be the one to differ from the crowd, where does that put Pein - older brother?

w00t for the theory of Naruto and Sasuke each having older brothers in the Akatsuki. Double WOOT for the two of them both being pursued by the Akatsuki. Triple WOoooooOOOT for Team Hebi and Team 7. Who wants cake?

As far as predictions go, methinks a big reunion in the Naruto-Sasuke field is coming - hopefully they will cooperate this time, not death-hug. >__>

[StarryInoueSky]

I really wouldn't want for Naruto to have a brother... I don't know, it'd be too weird... but if they are brothers and he isn't the real leader of Akatsuki... that just adds more depth to the story.

[Avi]

I'm joining the FC, I overlooked this FC for too long :D

Lastest chapter was GREAT. Pein is awesome XD

[Gothic Lolita]

lol !! watching the guy's piercings go off and on is really funny. also, when you put the 4th, naruto and that leader together, you find that naruto looks more like the 4th than the leader. if masashi was going to hint that the leader is actually naruto's brother then he should have made him look more like naruto. like for example: less piercings, less eye detail .. and fix the edges of the hair. to fit the "Naruto" pattern. same patterns done on itachi and sasuke.

btw, welcome back SBJ, and welcome to the FC Avi

[Sergelia]

lol !! watching the guy's piercings go off and on is really funny.
Liek, I know. I just sat transfixed for five minutes lol'ing at it. :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/Piro_666/lettheconsipriciesbegin.jpg

...to me, Naruto seems more-or-less like a combination of Pein and Yondaime.

That's not to say I think Pein's his mother, though everything is possible with Kishimoto.

[Gothic Lolita]

two blondes and one brown/orange head. lmao XD

atleast if he had SOMETHING naruto related, then i would consider, aside from the hair maybe. and also, you can imagine what would naruto would look like growing up by looking at the 4th, they both have blonde hair and blue eyes, and the fact that jiraya mention that naruto reminded him of the 4th. where are the leader has no blue eyes, or blonde hair.

if i saw him in the manga, like in the edit version above, then i would say he DOES look like naruto, but all colored ... meh >_> .... i dont think that masashi would create another character, that kinda has some naruto parts, but there are no clues which lead to them being related aside from the looks.

Liek, I know. I just sat transfixed for five minutes lol'ing at it. :D
:rofl ... am still oogling the picture myself XD .. its like Extreme Makeover, the before and after shots lol !

[Sergelia]

Yondaime LOOKS like Naruto, he does, but... >__> meh. When I look at Pein (Noncolored) and then at post-skip Naruto, it reminds me of how I looked at post-skip Naruto next to the pre-skip one. xD

But we'll see. So far, I belong to the majority; almost everyone so far expressed at least a faint recognition of the fact that Pein reminds of Naruto.

Heh, Lolita, you wanna bet? I'll give you my... eh... >__> magic pony.... >__> , if it turns out Pein and Naruto have some weird connection between them, either one of family, or cloning, or something similar. ^__^

I just cannot help but think the whole Sasuke's "Fraternal bonds... forged through hatred" rampage isn't meant to have SOME impact on Naruto's future experiences. Ah, we'll see.

[Gothic Lolita]

like LOOOL serg XD ... okey, and ill make ya a siggy set of anything you want, and ill even provide the stock ;) ... if it turned out that Naruto and Pein are not related, and masashi was drunk when he drew him, and submitted it to the publishers half conscious XD :rofl

anyways, i agree with you on that whole sasuke thing. This is arc looks like it has all to do with Sasuke and itachi atm :headscratch

[Sergelia]

Aww. The deal's sealed then ^__^ :yay:

And I still firmly believe Kishimoto is in love with Sasuke. The youngest Uchiha was created in a moment of weakness, and Kishimoto subconsciously gave him every attribute of what he loves in a person. Kishi's wife goes around yelling "CHOOSE! Him or me!" on daily basis.

... >__<
BTW there were some pretty crazy theories that Tobi is the REAL LEADER (known as RL). That sounds so insane that I actually love it. xD

I for one wonder what in the hell could possibly be the reason for Pein having eyes like that. They are INSANE.
*lols at the idea of how Byakugan+Sharingan would look*
*keeps on lol'ing*
*wait...*

[Gintoki]

Kishimoto ain't in love with Sasuke. He is just writing his story Fan-oriented. He can't ignore the fact, that Sasuke is the #1 all time favourite in the recent polls. There's some commercial behind this. That's why the Animation Series of Naruto isn't in the top ranks anymore in Japan.

That's just like Tito and Hitsugaya. He decided to give him the Captain in RW position, for Poll reasons.

lmao XD .... it WOULD an ... :eek: moment .. if Tobi were the leader XD hhehe then that has to have some explaining, i mean how does someone soo cheerful like Tobi wanna start a group like Akatsuki, i dont think that Masashi is gonna steal the idea of KT and go making a good guy you never suspected turn evil and then wanna take over everything >_>

and if masashi IS in love with sasuke then god bless him for making sasuke so effing PERFECT :love .. and :rofl @ the wife comment XD

[Sergelia]

YOU GUYS.

Pay no attention to my sig btw.

YOU GUYS. Saw the color page yet?

Honestly - I know this is probably Kishimoto's Fanservice No Jutsu at work - but...
...damn.
I'm speechless.

[Lilium]

OH my gawd that pic is soo....:love Is it me, or is that quite err yaoi to me? o_O? Anyways, as for the quote underneath the picture, does that mean we're going to have another fight between naruto and sasuke? Argh, i hope not, I really don't want another fight between the two. :cry

[Sergelia]

Well the other possible translation was "The destiny of completing each other", according to the person who translated it. But I thought that was too BL to be true. I guess... *glares at Kishi*

I want another fight :nuts The VotE one was pure win (with chocolate on top), so the next one could only win even more.

But I doubt it... like I said before ever seeing the cover, I feel a reunion coming, not a ZOMG battle. I won't say anything before the chapter's out on Web tho'... Only - funny how a yaoi!cover found its way on this chapter, as it had nothing, virtually nothing to imply SasuNaru/NaruSasu.

EDIT:
But I mean, desire... -___-'

[Lilium]

I really don't want another VOTE battle. It broke my heart. I want them to be friends again. And if they fight now, there's no way naruto can defeat sasuke in logical terms, unless kishi pulls a big plot no jutsu out of nowhere. And i can see it happening. That's why if kishi really have to write a fight between them, I'd rather them fight down the road but on friendly terms. Just like Gai and Kakashi but more serious of course. Seeing as Naruto has to be the strongest by the end of the manga, I'm hoping for a tie between the two, but Sasuke acknowledging that Naruto is the stronger one due to Will of Fire, or something like that. Naruto will excel as the ninja that embodies the will of fire, and become the Hokage. Sasuke would be always be his rival and the more 'skillful' ninja.

[Gintoki]

Phew that spoiler this week seemed very interesting.

Would be a real plot twist if Tobi is indeed Uchiha Madara

[Lilium]

Spoilers!! It's time to take my usual leave from Naruto-oriented stuff lol...

[SBJ220]

@Gintoki

Manga Spoiler Question:
The spoiler says that Tobi is Uchiha Madara? I always thought he'd be Uchiha Obito...

[Caboose]

:eek: *spazzes*

WHY HAVE I NOT JOINED THIS?! Please add me, Naruto was my first love :)

Although for some reason the recent anime has lost it's spark... :cry

Fave chara: Sakura :love
Fave couple: SasuSaku all the waaay!!! ;)

- caboose

[SBJ220]

Haha, welcome Caboose. Glad to have you with us. I'll add you to the front list nao. :p

[Gintoki]

@SBJ

Yeah that's what all believed me included but look at those pics. Hope they aren't fake tho.

[Sergelia]

I think it's confirmed :eek: So... I guess the Uchihatards that put on all the Tobi hate will have to eat their words now.

I do wish Kishi took a break from drawing Sharingan. It hacks the world, we got it, but come on - give the Uchiha some rest already, jeez. -__-

And Kakashi's "compliment" to Kiba is LOLage, pure and simple.

[Raiden]

LoL Kishimoto is a true Uchiha fanboy, I've seen that the spoiler says that Tobi is the black shadowy figure as well, but from Himajin's post he seems to lol at the aspect of that, and probably inferring that part was fake. Still looking forward to seeing this ch and whats real from fake

[Sergelia]

The part where Tobidara (xD) states "That is my power, the power of Uchiha MADARA!!" *dun dun dun* is confirmed methinks. *goes to check*

[SBJ220]

Well, I just caught myself up on the whole Deidara fight. Pretty good, I guess. He went out with a bang as they said. Sasuke killing Manda the giant snake... that kinda pissed me off, lol. I like the animal summons. As for the final page and the spoilers... no clue yet. I hope Pein's master turns out to be cool. I'd prefer Tobi to be Obito though. Madara... well, i can see it, but it would make for a much more interesting plot line if Obito killed Kakshi.

[Sergelia]

Karin seems kinda... bitchy at Sasuke. >__> I hope this means she'll get wtfpwned sometime soon. And I actually like her, compared to some fans.

Suigetsu is love. Sasuke asleep is :wtf. I luuuurve Team Hebi... they crack me up so much, which tells a lot since they have no sense of humor.

Although, what's BH's role, Pein's lawyer? -__-

And, SBJ - hell yeah he's cool. xD Have you read 364 yet?

[SBJ220]

Nope. Last I read was 363. Let me check on 364 now and I'll reevaluate.

[Raiden]

Only person I like from Team Hebi is Suigetsu, can't wait to see him own Kisame. ZABUZA SWORD CANNOT BE BEAT LOL.

And I find Pein kind of retardish lol. First he says Sasuke is dead, but Itachi knows Sasuke is not dead. Then Pein says Tobi is dead and can be easily replaced.

But DUN DUN DUN,

Tobi is calling the shots! and now Pein looks like a retard in my eyes. Maybe he is just trying to trick the rest of Akatsuki.. But I have a feeling Itachi already knows about Tobi.

[Caboose]

Ho man...I have A LOT of catching up to do. >_< Are the latest chapters up that fast??? I sort of stopped at the chapter where Deidara:love is squaring it off with Sasuke....cuz I got into Bleach so much :eek:
Team Hebi is pretty cool, I :inlove all of them XD Though Karin's kind of annoying...reminds me of the old Sakura. >_<U Urgh.

Is anyone else annoyed that Naruto and Sasuke always get the spotlight? Ar, I'm in complaining mode now, sorry. Ever since Sakura trained and acquired pwnage powers :rotflmao, I've been expecting to see more action of her. Other than the awesome SasorivsSakura/Chiyo, it's been...meh. Mundane much? It's always been the two male characters of Team 7. "Sasuke-teme" this, "Naruto" that...it's frustrating to not see the last member seen least. I know it's titled "Naruto" for a reason, but Sasuke gets almost as much of the spotlight as our fave Kyuubi-boy does. Why not Sakura?

Certainly she deserves more attention and fights after keeping her promise and getting stronger. But it's still, "Sasuke-teme, I'm going to drag your ass back to Konoha!" And, "I'd like to see you try Naruto." Kishimoto has put a lot of emphasis on teamwork; whether it's through Kakashi, the Chuunin Exams, the hokage, whatever and whoever. But I'm tired of how Sakura stands in the Sasuke and Naruto's shadow. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but it's my opinion. If it was up to me, the retry of bringing Sasuke back would go something like this:
-
(after receiving news of Team Hebi's movements, outside Tsunade's office)

"Sakura-chan..." Naruto started quietly, "Don't think I've given up. I'm still keeping that promise I made to you a while back." He looked at her, his eyes bright azure with determination. "I will bring that bastard back if it's the last thing I do."

Sakura remembered the promise like it was yesterday. Back then, when she had been too irresolute to fight him, too powerless to do anything... She tried to persuade, used words as her weapons. But still...in the end, he left. Fury coursed through Sakura's veins at the thought of how little she did to prevent it. She was weak, weak, weak.

But this time, things will be different. Now she's stronger. Now she's resolved, determined, tough. It'll be different next time around; that is her promise.

"No, Naruto."

Naruto furrowed his eyebrows, protested, "Sakura-chan-"

Sakura cut him off, hard emerald eyes flashing, "It'll be different this time. We're stronger now; I'm stronger. I won't hold you back. Before I offered him words but I couldn't talk sense to him. You offered him fists but even so...it couldn't bring him back. This time, I'll offer fists and you offer words. Even if I have to beat his brains out, even if you have to drag him kicking and screaming, We. Are. Bringing. Him. Back." She prodded his chest with each word.

The Kyuubi-vessel hesitated. He knew Sakura got stronger but...would it be enough? Shaking his head, he nodded. They were Team 7. Granted, they were short one member but together...they could do it.

He grinned cheekily. "Just don't hurt him too much, alright?"

Laughing, Sakura lightly punched him on the arm. "Only if you promise to work on your speech," she replied, earning a groan from Naruto.

This time, they'll bring him back together.
-
Ara...that turned out to be...*shakes head* Gotta learn to stop while I'm at it... I'm sorry if I'm sounding selfish in the rant but I just wanted to see if others felt the same way. =/ I should write a letter to Kishimoto, shouldn't I?

- caboose

[Sergelia]

And I find Pein kind of retardish lol. First he says Sasuke is dead, but Itachi knows Sasuke is not dead. Then Pein says Tobi is dead and can be easily replaced.

But DUN DUN DUN,

Tobi is calling the shots! and now Pein looks like a retard in my eyes. Maybe he is just trying to trick the rest of Akatsuki.. But I have a feeling Itachi already knows about Tobi.

You're kidding, right? Obviously Pein (and BH) knew about Tobi/dara really being the leader (thus not being dead) - he was just hiding it from the Akatsuki. And from his later discussion with Tobi/dara, I gather he also knew Sasuke survived, as well (Deidara-san! RIP!).

But Itachi supposedly crying really makes one wonder, though. The SasuIta shippers are lOl'ing like crazy (>.<' poor, deluded bastards) but if Itachi knows Sasuke's not dead, what's with the emo outburst?
Scratch that, what's with the emo outburst ANYWAY, even if Sasuke was dead? I expected such actions from Naruto (and Sakura... and fanboys... and fangirls), not the guy who only let him live because he could develop the MS. So... what the hell, Kishi? :confused:

Suigetsu owns. *nod* I'm indifferent towards Juugo (then again, literally everyone is), and Karin's a wh0re (but a fairly amusing one, so I let her pass). And Jessuke happens to be my favorite character, but nonetheless I can't help but :rofl every time I hear "...these eyes" being mentioned. xD Ah, Sauce-kay, you amuse me so much.

Caboose, you're here!
Well. I've always loved Sakura. Ever since she cut her hair - and maybe even before, from her reaction to Naruto and Sasuke's 'accident' ("Naruto! I'm going to kill you! I was supposed to be Sasuke-kun's first kiss! *evil*"), and especially now when I saw how much stronger she became, and what a strong, complete person she grew up to be. But somehow, I always knew that, to quote Kishimoto, "Sakura is simple". He made her to be Team 7's balancing point. Sadly but truthfully, she's never going to get as much spotlight as Naruto and Sasuke do. But that's okay with me.
Her powers will, eventually, be praised even more (like someone once said, Sakura could be stronger than Tsunade, and Tsunade's supposed to be the most famous and the strongest kunoichi evah) but that's about it.

What I find so tragic about Sakura's character is that Naruto made the "promise of the lifetime" to her, it was him promising he would bring Sasuke back for her - but at the end, it's Sakura that has to comfort him when Sasuke flips them off in part II. From "I promise, Sakura-chan, I'll definitely bring Sasuke back!" the whole rescue thing became all about Naruto and Sasuke and their bonds, history, emoness, destiny, past lives and what not already.

She's so great, and she became so selfless.
T__T Sakura!~ You're too good for either of them!!~ Dump the bastards and become Hokage! :nuts

...I didn't say that. >__>

[SBJ220]

"Your name is TOBAY!!! Your name is TOBAY!!! What's your name?"

"Kunta Kinte."

"WRONG!!! Your... name... is... TOBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*Sorry, but this new mind-fuck from Kishimoto had me thinking that all week.*

[krompt]

I solved it XDDD

I'n the latest chapter Tobi was revealed to be the true mastermind behind Akatsuki and to have the sharingan. So i was alittle down that one of the potentially most powerful characters have the sharingan. So it came it me when i re-read the part about him and Mandara Uchiha. He did not say he Was Mandara he simly said he had the power. The Kyuubi also stated that Mandara's abilities where even darker than his own. So someone (tobi) would go through the trouble to find the dead boday of a Mandara Uchiha and take the Sharingan and transplant it to himself (like Rin and Kakashi). So i'm going to throw one out there and say that Tobi is not an Uchiha and simply has Mandara's sharingan eye. Even though i believed that the sharingan is overplayed XD

[Sergelia]

There is a topic at NF asking what would make us stop reading Naruto.


I say I have five Horrors Above Horrors;

1) Naruto having a Sharingan. Just... NO. Seriously. It's not funny.
2) After killing Itachi, Sasuke suddenly becoming a world-loving flower child, marrying some pretty female and having lots of kids. And holding annual afternoon barbecues with the Uzumaki family, where he and Naruto would discuss the many joys of adult life. *shivers*
3) Sakura pulling a crazy super power above them all.
4) Sasuke becoming Hokage. That's just outrageous. I saw fics like that.
5) Itachi NOT having deeper reasons for the Uchiha slaughter.

What about you?

Oh and, krompt, ... I am a supporter of the "Tobi is Madara in Obito's body" theory. *nods*
But I'd still prefer it if the theory in your avatar was true. :lmao

[Lilium]

Just read the chapter!! :love
OMG did anyone LOOOL when tobi was revealed to be madara? I think NF-ers will understand what i mean. Seriously i thought someone photoshop the mask on. :rofl I always knew ALL was Madara, but Tobi being Madara was a shocker to me. There goes the infamous Tobi=Obito theory. Itachi being sad....:cry I wonder if he knew that Tobi was Madara or that Madara was pulling the strings. Itachi's actions now are even more mysterious than ever before. I can't wait till we get more info on the uchiha mystery. I'm so loving this arc right now.

Heh, "five horrors above horrors"...:rotflmao Mine would be (and these are realistic things that have a possibility of happening)...

1 - If Sasuke continues to act like a bastard and in the end, DOES NOT RETURN TO KONOHA. >< I'm a sucker for happy endings, shaddup! *pout*

2 - Itachi not having deeper reasons for the Uchiha slaughter (I agree with you on that Sergelia) "To test my abilities"...that was some total BS. :mad: I mean COME ON! That's your reasoning?!

3 - If Sakura does not get more action. Meaning a Naruto and Sakura - Sasuke clash. Yes, I do realize that this would be near impossible, seeing as how the whole "Naruto vs Sasuke!" thing is brought up over and over and over again.

4 - Pairings. And that means any hints. If it's hinted for, let's say, Karin and Sasuke (I doubt it but Kishimoto has proved to be unexpected...). I won't stop reading it entirely, but I'll take a break. A looooong break. It would break my big fan heart.

5 - Sharingan is so overrated. I know it's a big thing and all but...*sigh* You can only handle so much, you know?

>_< Well, those are my "horrors above horrors" that would make me stop.

- caboose

[Raiden]

I personally think Itachi already knows about Tobi... He did mention a 3rd MS user a while back, this must be the guy he was talking about. I think when Tobi states he is Madara and stuff. I think it is in the context of he has the power that similar to his. But his body is not the actual Madara body, who assume looks like the statue at VOTE, the one aside of Shodaime.

So I'm going with the theory that Tobi=Obito, who somehow got possesed by the real Madara. But Madara wants to unlock his true body which requires the biju and 3 MS users. I know elaborate fanfiction... but I still refuse to believe Tobi=Madara in actuality.

And blue hair sounds like a total fangirl over Pein lol.

[Sola]

I'm starting to agree more with the Obito=Tobi thing. Why else would he only have one hole for the eyes? Bad depth perception much?

[Gintoki]

That's possbile but i'd like it more if he wasn't. But how did the Sharingan survive the rock avalanche, while the rest of the face didn't.

[Sergelia]

How ignorant. Obviously Sharingan is the thing most likely to survive in the universe; I suspect it's actually a weird kind of an eye-cockroach. D:
OR the guy at NF is right and Ulquiorra is Obito, which makes more sense than most theories I've heard of so far, I must say.

Really now, to support my favorite Madara's-spirit-Obito's-body theory, I'd say Madara somehow restored Obito's body (present Kakashi's Sharingan not included, as Madara's probably not Orihime and cannot heal what's not there) and inhabited it.


And I know the popular option is that Pein controls storms and rain and what not, but... link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susanoo)
Isn't it weird to anyone that, along with the possible 3rd MS user who claims he has the "perfect Sharingan" (aka, all three abilities - Susanoo, Amateratsu and Tsukyomi) appears the motif of storm/rain? As the article says, Susanoo, the only yet-to-be-revealed technique of the MS, is related to water and storm. I just refuse to believe it's a coincidence.

[EternalDream]

I haven't stopped by in a long while to post, but this new chapter still has me O_Oing enough that I figured what the heck! XD (It is, after all, the first chapter I read like 5 times over in one day! lol) It's an awesome plot twist^^ I hadn't though Tobi'd died, but it certainly hadn't crossed my mind that he was the REAL leader of Akatsuki.

I'm thinking Tobi's either the famous "Obito", as has been theorized for a while, or I've thought that maybe he's actually the best friend Itachi "killed". **shrugs** Don't ask me for details on that second one, though, cuz it's a heck of a big stretch, I'm well aware. XD I don't think he's actually Madara Uchiha, (rather, he just shares a power very similar to Madara) though I see how his words could be taken that way.

Oh, and there's no getting past the fact that Pain/Pein is TOTALLY Naruto's uncle, brother, or cousin. I refuse to believe that they're not related. They look too similar.

[Avi]

This chapter was worthy of making me squeal like a fangirl does to every sasuke appearance :rolleyes:. The fact that it seems that Madara is using Obito's body as a container, makes it even more interesting. I think we'll see a Kakashi vs. Tobi fight, I'm really hoping for one. Perhaps.. we'll see the death of Kakashi o_o; I can't wait to see what's next >_<;;;


ED- They ARE NOT related!!! He just has an extremely similar drawing style is all. Tell you what, If they are related.. I'll go streaking on my college campus during a football game and put the video on youtube. If not.. we'll talk about that some other time :p but they are NOT related.

First off, fangirls don't scream only when Sasuke *appears*, but every time his name is mentioned, when the family name 'Uchiha' is mentioned, and also every time they see another chapter of 'Naruto' because they just know he'll either be shown or mentioned. It's simple as that. That's why they are constantly squealing.

Second... guess we'll be seeing you YouTube'd sometime soon. :D

EDIT: HOLY HELL VOLUME 39 COVER IS BADASS :eek:

http://books.shueisha.co.jp/search/book_image/978-4-08-874397-4.jpg

:inlove Hebi! Hebi! Hebi!

And Sasuke's truly into the whole "evil plotter" pose, it seems. What the hell, put him next to Aizen and there you have it, they could exchange tips. All Saucekay needs is a throne, but I'm sure Kishi's working on it.

So far he has a... futon. Well, that's a start. xD

LOL, that explains everything xD. The day Kakashi removes his mask, is the day we'll see all the fangirls go :eek: , even louder than for Sasuke >.>


Haha, I'm sticking to my words dear ;) Dare to put your piece of the bet in?


O_O The cover looks stunning XD Wow, red snakes o.o Juugo looks like a badass in that pic, and Sasuke looks like a mastermind .. kukuku, I can't wait for the next chaps XD

[Sergelia]

Mm. If Pein doesn't turn out to be any relation of Naruto's (including being a part of Naruto somehow / Naruto himself / something), I will... >___>

<___<
Make a puppet show? Eh... heh... eh.

As for Kakashi, I always believed his face would be revealed right before he dies. So they wouldn't have much time to squeal before they break down crying.

Judging by my reaction to the mere title "Sasuke's death" and then Zetsu saying "Sasuke died", I can imagine what they would go through. It wouldn't be pretty. It would involve tears and hair-pulling, then collapsing in the chair hopelessly, muttering "Why? WHY?"

...then turning the page whistling.

Yep.

Karin apparently notices Konoha's movement, but they still haven't found Sasuke & co's place, this being apparently because that Juugo got Sasuke's blood-soaked cloak. They all scatter (dunno if he means konoha or Hebi or both)

Sasuke's smell being spread in so many directions creates confusion (for konoha, I'd say).

"The older brother" sets out/leaves too at the end of the episode.

[StarryInoueSky]

Wow... I really need to catch up to the manga! D: I'm still on the chapter were Deidara is about to blow himself up. ;-;

Thanks Darkhope!

Welcome to all new members~! Party!
Thanks Darkhope and Kira. ^___^ I don't know how I feel about those spoilers, though - seems like this chapter won't be much. I know it's ZOMG Itachi vs Naruto, yay! but let's face it - this means Pein vs Itachi sometimes soon. Well, at least I think so.

And, I really think Itachi is going blind by now, his eyes were looking in a completely wrong direction. 0__o

EDIT;
Unofficial welcome to you Kuchisaki; yep, Naruto is pretty cool. :yay

[Gintoki]

I'm also not expecting too much from this chapter. Just the usual trashtalk in Naruto's and Sasuke's group. Bad timing for such a boring chap if you consider the 1 week WSJ break^^

[Flying Banana]

new chapter today!! =D i just read it and the ending makes me wanna rad the next chapter soo badly >.<

Itachi shows up when Naruto was looking for Sasuke and i hope they fight! xD Naruto has been getting more interesting lately o.o especially the chapter before

Don't be angry at me, but the last chapter was the only chapter in the last weeks, i didn't like. Naruto meeting Itachi isn't fitting in my opinion. I'd rather seen more from the AL meeting, but yu can't have anything you want :)

[Kuchisaki]

Kisame, Itachi, Tobi, Deidara are my favorites from the Akatsuki.
Kisame has cool water jutsu and a big ass sword make him awesome:D

[Sergelia]

So anyone seen the spoilers yet?

Man. One of those fakes was SO good, but it would literally make Narutards and Sasutards spam the Internet with their wars, so... I suppose it's for the best if it's fake.
Though, I would totally read that fanfic.


Anyway... I'm depressed about the socalled 'real' spoiler. It ruins my shipping. Naruto thinks he's more of a brother to Sasuke than Itachi is? :/

Damn you, Kishimoto. >.<

[Raiden]

naruto spoilers seems to be the real one, I don't know Sergalia. if you were talken about this one, but it seems good.

イタチは影分身。ナルトとグダグダ話して|
