Naruto 330

or... his chakra element IS wind

[dragon608608]

NO, IT DEFINITELY NOT WIND. it's his shadow element (i think) because when Naruto and Asuma (wind element user that we knew for sure) use it the charka surrounding the knife is white. However, when Shikimaru use it, the charka surrounding the knife is black, and his shadow element is also black. Therefore, I think that is his shadow element surrounding the knife. I would wow and yay for the shadow sword, but if it's something different, i wouldn't mind either. At least, it makes Shikimaru look more BAD than ever.

[UChessmaster]

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

[chet_chetty]

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.

[Knives122]

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..

[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.
