OMG, Kakashi without face mask [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
That black chakra ball - is it a rasengan a la kyubi?
No teasing this week nests?
God damn, this is an awesome battle, Orochimaru is full of tricks and it looks like Kyubi-Naruto copies the move a bit. The Orochimaru out of Orochimaru's mouth, Kyubi out of himself, damn.
Nice techniques from both sides.
At first I though he was going to hit the snakes but then he puts his arms into the ground and extends it to grab Orochimaru.
Translation is needed for the Kabuto-Sakura-Yamato part.
Orochimaru doesn't seem to be too worried about Naruto changing forms. I hope this fight doesn't drag as long as some of the previous ones....

Cool chapter so far, but I'm curious to see new demonic kyubi bust out some more impressive stuff. Sad thing though is that what we've just seen will only translate to about five minutes screen time when it gets animated.
Oro > Naruto
Also, Kakashi's maskless appearance is pretty much how I expected it to be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Nice, Orochimaru has gained many points in my list
Title Page: "The 4th Tail"
"Just a peek" you want to see, that coo-ol face under the mask
Page 2:
Narrator: "The 4th tail" What is this form?
Page 4:
Yamato: He creates shockwaves with only one arm. Unbelievable.
Sai: Can't get close with this...
Page 12:
Yamato: No way, the 4th tail has...
Sakura: Captain Yamato, you know something about Naruto right?
Sakura (next frame): What in the world has Naruto become?
Yamato: Sakura... you don't have to worry. Because...
Page 13:
For a situation like this... I was selected as captain by the top brass.
Kabuto: Well, it would appear that Sasori isn't coming after all
Kabuto: No doubt, Sasori told you the location of this bridge with hopes that you would deal with Orochimaru-sama yourselves.
Kabuto: Even members of the "Akatsuki" have difficulty with Orochimaru-sama.
Kabuto: For Sasori to tell you of his own accord means that he acknowledges your strength, but...
Sidebar: Naruto continues to run wild... will Orochimaru finally be defeated?
Page 14:
Kabuto: Sasori hates Orochimaru and had always said he wanted to deal with him directly.
Kabuto: For it to turn out that you would be sent would mean that he couldn't do it himself... meaning
Kabuto: He was either captured or died.
Sakura: It's too bad, he was the latter.
Kabuto: That's good to hear.
Page 17:
Orochimaru: That could be dangerous.
Sidebar: The fiercely roaring Naruto. What is with the union of tails and this eerie concentrated energy? A jet black orb even Orochimaru fears...

Awesome! I'm liking this fight so far. Is it just me, or did it look like Naruto came out of his own body when Oro punched him in the 4th jpeg?
"Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help."
He did, yes, and ripped Oro's snake-boushin in half.
What an incredible battle so far. I like how Naruto is crazy and reckless, yet tactical at the same time. Brilliant.
I still don't expect Oro to come even close to losing though.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
dAMN, thats one insane fight. Oro's pulling out the stops now that he can use his arms again.
For all you awesome people, it's just Phoenix. The numbers are just the amount of times people misspell it.
man, the manga just keeps getting better and better. i wonder how they'll animate it (eventually) in the anime. it'll probably be soo much cooler. oh and so i guess we have akatsuki fights, the rest of the bijuu's to be shown, and naruto (probably) becoming hokage years later...
There HAS to be an explanation as to how oro is able to pull all the super-human stuff he can pull.
I'm waiting for them to confirm that he does in fact have that snake demon sealed inside him.

Maybe he just has a bunch of seals all over him that he can activate? Kind of like Tsunade's quick healing seal, just for attacking with snakes? He seems to know alot about seals and sealing techniques.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

Edit: Oh, better thought. Since he seems to give a cursed seal to his containers, maybe its just one of the uses of those seals? That would explain why Anko could do the hidden snake hands jutsu.

I forget which episode, but a ninja refers to how Orochimaru has never been quite human. I thought it was a demon but apparently he could always do the tongue techniques and such.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

What an awesome chapter
"They call it 'The American Dream' because you have to be asleep to believe it" - George Carlin
I have to agree with u heretic awsome chapter indeed. god can't wait till next week. it also bothers me that I have to wait for like a year till anime reaches this part. oh well can't be helped, rather wait that long then not having the show. can some1 explain to me wut yamato meant by "No way, the 4th tail has..."? I always wondered if bijus can use jutsu, guess it's going to be shown in the next chapter. @Assertn I would love it if oro had 8 tails, cause that would explain everything about why he is so high and mighty. but I'm not sure if it's possible for him to have it, cause how would he move the 8 tail when he changes his body. although they should come up with a good explanation of how he can make new body and crap. cursed seal just doesn't cut it.
also guys wouldn't be funny if oro that is fighting now is acutally sasuke? testing out his strenght, cause I think they would show us how oro gets his hands back. look at oro's smile i page 5, it looks just like sasuke's.
That could be dangerous.
WOW, that was awsome.
Also, judging by what Kabuto said, Sasori would probably have lost to Orochimaru.
Honestly, i also think of this possibility for some time now. However, i dismissed this idea also sometime ago. Why? simple, to seal a demon inside a body, you need a fix body. To transfer the demon from jinchurikin (sorry if it incorrect spelling) to another jinchurikin, you need to rip the demon out of the previous jinchurikin to a containner before transfer it to another jinchurikin. The old jinchurikin die instantly. You can read back the conversation between Chiyo and Sakura when they rescue Gaara. And finally, the demon die when Jinchurikin die (when the demon still in that body of course.) Orochumaru continuously transfer his soul to the younger body, and he just transfer his soul to the body that he has now for only about 2 and half years ago (manga time). When he transfer to a new body. The soul of the new body will be eat away by Orochimaru's soul (watch what happen when he transfer to new body in Sasuke ran away arc.) In orther word, when he transfer his soul into a new body, the old body will without doubt is empty (without any soul). The old body without any soul can't survive, isn't it? If that so, then even if Orochimaru had a demon snake inside the old body. The demon would die with the decease of the old body since if he remove the demon first (before the transfer soul take place), Orochimaru would die immediately.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

However, there is one more possibility even though it is not very likely. That is Orochimaru some how completely merge his soul and the snake soul so that become one. Then when he transfer his soul, he tranfer the demon soul too. That would explain why people see the big snake image when he transfer to his modern body (Sasuke's run away arc) This seem like a solution, but it is not a solution at all. I mean how is that possible. I mean 1 apple plus 1 apple can't become 1 apple, can it? Plus Chiyo once said that no one was able to completely control the demon the only way to gain some control is to put the demon inside the body and work together with the demon. For Orochimaru to gain complete control and merge soul with demon without any side effect, he has to step on more step after pass what Chiyo said impossible. This is confusing if you follow this explaination. Because of these reason above, i dismissed this theory, too, concluse that Orochimaru has no demon inside his body, and decise that stop thinking about this issue because it gives me a headache.
Finally, nice chapter, anyone still think that Jiraiya almost die while fighting with Naruto is because Jiraiya hold back? From what i see is Naruto totaly dominate Jiraiya.
Awsome, breathtaking chapter.
But....whats with the Orochimaru being beaten into 2 halfs, and then reuniting?
First ith tought, itīs a bunshin, but it seems, it was his real body....bothers me somehow, because that way, orochimaru is no only immortal, heīs also even cant take real damage....
Anyway, cant wait to see that fight in the anime....they better let it be animated by their best studios *remembers Naruto vs. Kimimaro anime-version, omg*
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
meh... nothing really happened this chapter... nice fighting... but nothing really happened

There's an infinite number of ways kishimoto could explain oro's ability to transfer his soul while still keeping the bijuu, I wouldn't rule it out just because of the soul transfer technique.
