Naruto 329

[Death BOO Z]

well, the fillers don't count, but he did spend half a year getting back together (or at least, we saw Sakura's trainning in three months' jumps, so we know he hasn't left the village at those six months). still that leaves him 30 months of trainning with the best 'good' ninja around.

now, i don't remember the Manga after the time jump so well, so feel free to correct me, but when he came back we saw Naruto being able to..

1. Move around with his shadow clones in midair.
2. Block Chiyo from charging at Kakashi.
3. Punch deidara in the face and go wild on his ass.
4. control the Kyuubi up to the 3rd tail.

now, 1-3 is pure taijutsu trainning, it's normal leveling up. the Kyuubi power seems to be the real base of the trainning, but apparntly, his control over the first tails was also lacking (he lost his calm at the deidara fight).

about the what stoopider asked, I believe that the fighting abilities come from the demon itself, since Naruto's fighting moves at the kyuubi stage was defintally not something he could train (though, sending chackra claws might be a variation of chackra form manipulation), there's no way he could train to shoot energy beams from his mouth or to realese himself in chackra form and punch Orochimaru...

So basically, whenever people train offscreen for three years, it's not nearly effective as an onscreen trainning arc.

i think jiraiya was giving naruto overall training. and he is better all around now. it seems like the training was ineffective because now naruto is fighting ninja like akatsuiki member and orochimaru

Does the Akatsuki's plan remind anyone here of Metal Gear Solid, seriously when I have more time I'm going to go track down the old game script and post here to illistrate my point.

My guess is the reason why kishi hasn't produced more then 16-17 chapters a week is because he's been doing a marathon session of all the MGS games. My guess is he's probably stuck on the MGS 3 on the boss battle against the old guy and his parrot.

Obviously Akatsuki Leader was bullied while in ninja academy and is now taking revenge by trying to rule the world.

the only things i can see naruto training for are:

- master the wind element and implement it when attackingn with rasengan (probably to match or be way stronger than sasuke's new chidori)
- control over the kyubi powers (if he could transform into the kyubi by will and learn to use the chakra claws, rasengan mouth fireball blast, instant healing, force field, super speed & strength (same or faster than gai...and same or stronger than tsunade) then naruto should be fine

i mean he is fighting akatsuki members these days and now he has to deal with orochimaru-trained sasuke...jiraiya has also been missing for quite a while. maybe jiraiya is practicing rasengan or maybe fighting other akatsuki members?

ok so my theory about the leader being Shino is out the window since he has blonde hair, lol. I'll just assume it's another brand new character for now but I wanna know why they're keeping his face so secret for so long and why the sideline information on the end of each comics make it sound like he's an old character we know.

So their plan is to control all seven bijuu (the most powerful beings in the naruto-verse) and they're going to use the economy to rule the world?

Is there any good reason that they can't just conquer all five great nations with the tailed beasts?
