there is no shadow element, he may use a technique involving shadow to use the knife though... and im pretty sure every elemental chakra is blue not white

good observation on the color difference dragon. so to speculate, asuma charged his knives w/ wind element for them cut sharper than any other chakra. shikamaru charging the knives w/ his chakra...knives that cant be seen?
Just finished reading the chapter.
Very good chapter I specially liked the part where Shikamaru tells Kurenai what had happend it also seems like quite a bit of time passed in this chapter. Maybe Naruto has almost completed the new rasengan by the next chapter.
I wonder if team 10 are actually going to try and get revenge, because if they do I see nothing but another ass kicking by Akatsuki and Naruto coming in to save the day.
A nice chapter, nice at the start with Naruto and Kakashi adding some humour in.
Well it seems he'll be following Asuma closely and taking up smoking and his knives.
I really hope they aren't going on a mission to take revenge, it would be pretty pointless, and if they were to win, it would be annoying as hell. They would need more people to take on Hidan and co.
Yeah it would be annoying........but you know that's exactly what they're going to do.

Well, he's talking about the manga which is in black and white..Originally Posted by UChessmaster
isnt the cakra color in anime the way is suposed to be in manga?
Possibly if they find a loophole in Hidan's skill it might even the tables a bit. It might just be his skill/justu that makes him so worthy to be an Akutski member.
Manga's are black and white unless they're full color pages.
Hi, been lurking and reading everyones comments about the Manga for a while now, just got the urge to register and post about this topic. heh.
I guess it's pretty safe to assume that non-special chakra(ie: Nine Tails) is always going to be blue. During Asuma's fight with Kisame, in the anime he emits blue chakra from his knives. If elemental chakra differed, it most likely would have then. Unless, ofcourse, elemental chakra was an idea that was thought of after the fact.
Really nice chapter though, seeing Shikamaru get serious is probably a once in a life time event.
I disagree with you folks, Naruto has been totally annoying me recently and this last chapter kinda was the last straw.
I mean, Naruto's "new" move is essentially rasengan...only now he needs two clones to make it instead of one.
Now, as for Shikamaru, he was one of my fav characters and now he is kinda ruined for me. First of all, him using the knives and what looks like wind chakra totally just killed Naruto's originality and specialty. If it's not wind, well then Shika loses originality for stealing someone else's weapons. Also, if Kishi is going to make Shika an Asuma clone he might as well just have killed of Shika in the first place.
hmm well in ANYTHING there will always be SOME ONE that doesnt like it lol.
Anyways yah i know its a bit of personality change is shika. He IS my favorite char. however I think its will be a good change. I mean liek I said, he fianly has motivation! I cant wait for some ass woopin!
Where does everyone get the idea that shikamaru is using wind chakra?!
Asuma quite verbosely said that you can insert about any type of chakra into the knives. The outcome depends on the inserted type though, obviously.
[Edit]
And I sure hope that they went off to revenge Asuma. Because the rescue might feature the coolest team ever - Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto, Sakura.

yamato did mention a yin and yang nature shakra before narutos training... shikamarus chakra could be based on that... could explain the blackness in manga... where the two different natures are represented in black n white...
who knows what the nature of yin and yang will be like? its definitely gonna be a bit harder to guess what the effects are...
as for "weapon stealing" i would think it more along the lines of shikamaru honoring his sensei... his own way of remembering his teacher...
and hey... i wouldnt be in such a hurry to throw away such kickass knives myself... those things are awesome...
Good chapter, not sure where its heading which I like.
exactly but taking it up a notch..a big notch.
Konohamaru totally needs to join the team and take revenge!!1!
Naruto looked so old and grown up on page 11, looking more and more like his uncle every day!
I like not predicting straight away what will happen, it's refreshing.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
True, however the practicality of using the knives for other elements besides wind may be lost, as wind specifically is a close-medium range element that inflicts piercing-type damage.

I have to agree with Darkmaster on this, if the form of the completed Rasengan is Rasengan only more destructive, then meh. It turns into the Kyuubi Rasengan only Naruto performs it with 3 clones and doesn't need the Kyuubi to do it, which sucks. I was kinda hoping for either an AOE(Area of Effect) form of the Rasengan where it's destructiveness is moved from tornado to hurricane, or what I was really hoping was to use wind to concentrate the rasengan into different shapes, like around his body. That way he'd have a technique that would surround him in a concentrated layer of incredibly destructive wind. Attack and defense in one.
Now on the topic of Shikamaru, I have to say that I've got mixed feelings. The smoking and look I can live with, but if he tries to use the daggers to become a closequarters guy I'll have to say that would be awful. I did have the thought that since he uses shadow binding, maybe he would use the daggers kinda like a shadowsnap, for those who've seen Slayers. Asuma demonstrated that they could retain their chakra "charge" even when thrown, so if Shika loaded them with yin chakra, he could throw the dagger at the person's shadow to bind them in place. This is pure speculation but what do other people think of that idea?

Hmm this actually sounds like an excellent technique as well as something that Shikamaru could actually pull off without having to engage in close combat for any extened amount of time and lets face it close combat is not one of Shika's strong points.

Shika is not a very good strategist, sorry but trying to take three Chunnin to kill 2 Akatsuki members is retarded emotional or not. He should have waited his time and gathered a larger force. Even with Kakashi volunteering to help them, it wouldn't be enough, unless Kishi used his "god powers" to somehow make them prevail.
