He doesn't have "special daggers." He uses the Flying Thunder God by teleporting to places where he has a seal marked. The daggers are marked with the seal so he can throw them and teleport to where ever they land. We've seen him put the seal on other objects, such as trees, and even on people's bodies (Tobi and Bee). We already know he has put several seals on/inside of Naruto, so it wouldn't be far fetched for him to have marked Naruto with a Flying Thunder God seal, just in case.

"Those that are the strongest seem to be the most laid back and joke the most." That is what he posted so I don't know what it is you're disputing particularly by giving examples of weaker characters, relative to Hashirama anyway, that aren't laid back. My point was that those characters are so laid back not necessarily or solely because of their strength but because of their confidence in their abilities. A perfect example of that that would be shikamaru. If you had used him as an example of a weak character who is laid back then you would have had a counter to what Chaos said but that is not what you did. I am confused.

Sooooooo you agree with me.

I`m not trying to rationalize why someone is laid back or not, Chaos said that the strongest characters are laid back, i just pointed out that`s not quite the case and gave some examples.

I was just making an observation. And I would say that even Itachi was laid back jokingly when he fought Sasuke. He always joked with him and poked him in the head. Heck even Jiyara was very laid back and joked all the time and still managed to counter Pain to an extent.

At the levels of strength we're speaking of, the commonalities between every strong character we've seen are talent/genetics, focus, and drive. The reasons they have these things vary, but that they have these things does not. Everything else is moot as far as their strength is concerned. It's possible that being laidback is a result of some of them having acquired strengh (all zen and whatnot) but its not a necessary result.

Exactly. We don't know if Minato has epic techniques like the other Kage, but he's fast enough to Rasengan everybody except the Raikage (and presumably Sasuke and Naruto and maybe Bee, Madara, and the first and second Hokage) in the face. It's a sign of his strength that we've seen him get by on the Flash/Rasengan combo.

The fourth seems to have command over a number of sealing techniques, including the one that teleported the bijuu bomb away from the village. He also created the barrier that contained Kushina, Naruto, the kyubi and himself, followed by summoning the death god. All of those techniques seem high powered to me.

A whole lot of time could be saved and issues of doubt avoided if Orochimaru just used Edo Tensei on Sasuke's dad.

I don`t think he had Sasuke`s dad DNA at hand at the moment.

There is no way he or Kabuto would not have dug up his DNA if they went digging around to the extent they did. Would have been handy to have the entire Uchiha clan at your disposal if you wanted to say, I dunno, crush Konoha.

Would`ve made sense for Kabuto, a lot of sense actually, he could`ve bringed back complete clans. Oro probably doesn`t has all his tools, he came back to life and went straight to the shrine.

Here is a simple but perhaps interesting question.

Does Sasuke know who Naruto's father is? We can easily assume oro told him or he somehow found out otherwise? He could have used common sense but most anime characters are void of common sense even more so many of the Naruto characters. I am just curious what reactions if any Sasuke will have if and or when he learns that the 4th is Naruto's father. Assume he does not already know.

In either case what do you expect the relationship to be between Sasuke and Minato? Do you think they will even talk much at all? Will the conversation of Naruto come up between them? Even if it's brief.

I think it won´t be revealed to Sasuke that Yondaime is Naruto´s father. Would bring too many implications with it, have too much of an impact.

It could have a significant impact, in that Sasuke may realise that Naruto has a powerful lineage and he also lost his family in the same spirit of sacrifice that he lost Itachi but Naruto didn't turn out to be emo.

From how Sasuke is acting, I don't expect him and Naruto to fight. Sasuke seems to be seriously considering Itachi's wishes, and is open to forgiving Konoha, under the right circumstances. I think Sasuke is going to conclude his conversation with the Hokages, and go ask Naruto if Naruto would kill him to protect the village. Sasuke will realize that the whole cycle of revenge was caused by people with the emo gene, and that he can overcome the emo gene by forgiving Konoha and moving on.

Yeah but if they emo gene is ignored wouldn't the Sharingan end?

No no, undoubtedly it would unlock a new ability.

Just too damned reasonable to be in Naruto if you ask me
