Chapter 199 translation is out!

[Jiraiy4]

you~you~ your good you~ i like you~

[makkura]

well.... sasuke fans will breath easier now that orochimaru has changed his body and won't be able to take over the body of sasuke for a few years.

this story is getting intriguing. http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/huh.gif

[EvolutionJitsu]

Getting a little too sci fi for me.

[Uzumaki Kakashi]

now that was an amzing chapter. so much m,ore to the story was just added. rather then just action now there is a huge ass plot twist


just awesome

[XwingRob]

Yeah...and it appears because of this plot twist Orochimaru is going to become a long term enemy of naruto.

[Winged Dancer]

Yep yep!! Now we know that Sasuke is about to emerge from the barrel (which I'll still call Sasuke-in-a-Barrel just for the monkey reminder) and who knows what form he'll take.... Normal Sasuke, Lvl.1 or perhaps Lvl.2?

Even more Kimimaro has gotten up and is said to be as strong as Sasuke, if not more. And he has sworn now to bring Sasuke to the village... and since Orochimaru has taken a new body, now we do have a reason for Sasuke to get there - <i>now</I> he can be trained by Orochimaru for a "few years" before he takes over his body.

Ooh, ooh, and Kimimaro has an existencial problem!! He feels he doesn't have any reason to exist or something like that. Can anyone say Naruto vs. Kimimaro? I sure can! Naruto has to change that philosophy as well!!
So perhaps we now have Sakon vs. Shikamaru (since Shikamaru is mentioned in the "Coming Next" bit), Kiba vs. the other girl and possibly Naruto vs. Kimimaro...

Or, as it sounds at the moment; Sakon & Other girl vs. Shikamaru, Kiba and Naruto, and once that on is over, Kimimaro vs. Naruto.

Anyway, I really enjoyed that chapter. It was a nice break, after the fighting and more fighting, now we have a litte explanation and plot twist!!

Whoowhoowhoo I'm excited about what happens next now. Perhaps Sasuke <i>will</i> get to the sound... now anything could happen. Even a time jump.

[Chi Chi]

It was a nice chapter. Although the character ranking was hard to read and with the Jutsu ranking the Raikiri or Lightning Cutter got second place and the Chidori third. I always thought it was the same.

[Death BOO Z]

what's the diffrence between Chidori and Rakiri?

i was under the imression they are the same thing - the original Jutsu of Kakashi that he taught Sasuke...

or am i wrong?

[Insomniac]

one of the best chapters in ages, i love this arc

[Uzumaki Naruto]

No. No, it wasn&#39;t. It stopped Oro at that time. Not to mention that it set Oro back quite a bit because he was forced to posses someone with less potential than Sasuke and that he&#39;s unable to change bodies for a few years now.

hey i couldnt read the ranknings could sum1 who was able to read them plz post it for me plz http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/tongue.gif

dude wouldnt sasuke be awake by the time kimmimaro or wateva gets there...which makes things more interesting, maybe by the time kimmimaro gets to the fight naruto may hav weaved his majic and convinced sasuke not to leave everything behind, then both work together to stop kimmimaro (far fetched plot idea but it seems kool to me http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

[Insomniac]

Naruto has no chance against Kimmimaro and Sasuke

I think this is the point in which the leaf fails the mission

[Naruto_-_Kun]

insomniac i said that maybe naruto will convince sasuke to stay with the leaf and naruto and sasuke both fight of kimmimaro.

also it would be fair to say that kabuto is stronger than kimmimaro and naruto is nearly as strong as kabuto as seen in there battle....so it may not be that far fetched to think naruto could fight evenly with kimmimaro........... http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[ixijustinixi]

[Uchuu no Recca]

I cannot believe that harem no jutsu is number20&#33;

[Uchuu no Recca]

also, I cant imagine 4th hokage being way back there. This being the manga...everyone had seen his battle. Oh well...

[Mut]

that ranking sucks.

the voters must not know the definition of &quot;harem&quot; http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/mad.gif


raikiri was the other name for chidori right?

[Hotsuma]

Man, this just gets more and more complicated. I swear, Kishimoto just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself, each chapter.

Yeah, this chapter was just weird. Another new character, with another strange plot twist. I&#39;m starting to feel like this is MGS2 all over again.

Naruto can&#39;t beat this new guy, which means, he probably can&#39;t beat Sasuke at lvl 2, either.

Is it just me, or does Oro seem to have a thousand different ways to buffer his sorry ass from total defeat?

[Raven]

Am I the only one who thinks that Kimimaro isn&#39;t his name, it&#39;s just his title because he won the tournament, in the same way that &quot;hokage&quot; isn&#39;t his name, but it&#39;s a title for being the strongest ninja in the village, and people refer to him by the title.

I think Kabuto is just referring to this man as Kimimaro because it&#39;s his title for winning the tournament, I don&#39;t think it&#39;s actually his name. Am I alone in this thought?

The 4 sound nins were talking about past kimimaro&#39;s, correct? So that proves it&#39;s not actually this guy&#39;s name.

[Legendary Nin]

No mange sharingan..........boo....sharingan should have at least ranked higher.

There japanese

[Nine Tailed Demon]

I think the ranking of characters isn&#39;t strengths but popularity and the attacks are strength I think....

[Insomniac]

the 4 sound nin were definately talking about Kimimaro not past ones, Kabuto said himself that he was a apart of the sound 5.
So yeah they were obviously his team mates

and he said prepare kimimaro which means he was preparing the body

[Nine Tailed Demon]

Good chapter, now Sasuke gets trained by Oro for a few years...

Gaia is Earth. Just as Sasuke has the &quot;Heaven&quot; seal, Kimimaro has the &quot;Earth&quot; seal.

I have no real comment on the votes.

I do like the plot twist that this episode brings. I was hoping the whole Sasuke situation would take longer to resolve. That requires Orochimaru to take another body. I hope Sasuke becomes his apprentice or some such thing.

[Insomniac]

i&#39;ve mentioned it like 5 times already lol
yes Gaia is earth&#33;

[Assertn]

the japanese children apparently are very boring with their voting preferences

those results were totally obvious&#33;

[Speedbump]

Despite me reading every manga chapter, i think the holidays have gone to my head.

Is there a thread that uhh.. explains about kimimaro? or can someone give me a quick lowdown? or an insult. something isnt clicking in my head...

Samsonlonghair.. isnt that sig from Nightmares Before Christmas?

[Anbu Hatake Kakashi]

yea.... that was a sweet chapter ... i really wanted toos ee them fight tho is neji and that fat guy dead? hope not
