Naruto 337

[Assertn]

i think shikamaru has this thing in the bag. he was probably trying to hack hidans head off before he canceled the jutsu... but he barely missed that chance... had hidan stayed a bit longer, shika would've ended it all with that knife slash... kakuzu wouldda got his head chopped off as well...

I had assumed that as well, but then I realized Hidan released his voodoo jutsu before shika slashed him. I doubt Kakuzu felt anything from Shika's blade, and also would not have been decapitated.

and i was kinda hoping kakashi would resort to rasengans after depleting all his raikiris. or atleast reveal why exactly his hand was wrapped up in the first place... (we still dont get a damn hint of that after the bandages get blasted off...)

Rasengans? Kakashi explained already that he could barely create something that could pass as a rasengan. His lightning affinity doesn't compliment that type of jutsu.

He didn't say that exactly. He said he can't place his affinity in it. So there is no use in useing rasengan when he already has chidori. Remember they are about the same power (rasengan chidori) so there really is no reason to use it. Rasengan is just an incomplete jutsu which it looks like naruto is the only one able to complete it in the end.

In the demonstration he showed that he could only create a rasengan half the size of Naruto's basic one.

Assert has ya on that one. I liked the chapter alot. Bout time I saw my girls together again. I wonder if they are going to fight over Sasuke again!

[Edort4]

The only thing Kakashi said about Rasengan was that he could only do it like naruto, he couldnt pass that level of shape manipulation. I would say that if he is able to do it one handed he is even better than Naruto at it.

[dimitris127]

i don't think that's true even though he does it one handed he can't put more chakra than naruto in the rasengan(judjing from the shape),so you see kakashis rasengan doesn't beat narutos rasengan

[JaySee]

Who cares? Why would he ever use rasengan? He's got raikiri. When he's used that all up, he's out of chakra.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

In the demonstration he showed that he could only create a rasengan half the size of Naruto's basic one.

i don't remember them showing the rasengan's placed next to each other. so how can you tell his is smaller lol. I do see the point that naruto's will be stronger because of his chakra supply, and it's also true that he won't have chakra for it because of chidori.

With kakashi's hand being bandaged, it probably got damaged in the training with naruto, but i don't see that being the main reason he is loseing. Also he can't go around using MS like nothing. After useing it twice he is pretty much wasted. Also we won't have any story if kakashi comes along and MS's everyone into another dimension, and end's a fight before it starts.

Think about it look at the steps they took at the start of the fight. it would have ended so fast it ain't funny.

1.shika binds them with his shadow fused in the chakra knives.

2. kakashi blast them both with MS. End of fight lol.

you can't have every fight with kakashi ending like that now.

why not, it's an insta kill combo hit, like ganging up on an enemy with headbutts in golden axe (how the hell did this reach here?), it works almost everytime, and it's reletavly safe to use.

Kazoku is dead meat as of now, he'll need to pull some serious joker out of his sleeve to overcome Kakashi, Yamato, Naruto and Sai (well, even if Kakashi is halfway done). Hidan is a diffrent story, unless Shikamaru has used his braingan again and comprised a super plan for which he has cut off Hidan's headprotector, i can't see him winning.

If what i said actually happened about 90% of the people here would have complained. The first thing people would say is "Why are akatsuki members so weak when they are suppose to be elite ninja's". Also there will be no story if you bring kakashi along to MS every akatsuki member from here on out. There would just be no story or decent fighting scenes left in the series.

[chet_chetty]

Wow. I cant believe noone noticed this. My friend just pointed this out to me.

Look at Hidan's right arm after Shikamaru's shadow binds him (pg 5 and especially pg 14). Then look at his right arm before he "performs" kagemange (ie pg 4).

Looks like Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu ver 2.0 to me and looks like he learned from his fight with Tayuya.

[bxgreatone87]

whats up people haven't posted in awhile.

Anyway, i knew this was exactly what was gonna happen lol. with naruto comeing at the last moment to save them all. I was a little off however cause i did think it would have been shika being saved lol. Here is hopeing for the new rasengtan to look awesome and not just the same look as a regular one (ie: just makeing it bigger but with same desighn) that would just suck. Is there a manga this week? It is later thenusual lol.

[ktchris69]

Chapter 338 will not be out untill the 18th.

It's like this every year.

And it's nothing to do with Kishimoto, it's Shounen Jump, because there's no Bleach, One Piece, or whatever else is published in that magazine.

[toonice714]

Sucks that there is no manga this week. I guess spell check is a thing of the past.

[toonice714]

Also maybe this fight will begin a new sai-ino relationship.

[DayoftheDante]

What would happen if Hidan tasted some of his own blood and went into grim reaper mode? I wonder if the only person that can kill Hidan is.... Hidan.

[Uberbaka]

So stabbing himself would be just like.. erm.. stabbing himself. Oh the irony... Which is probably the way to go, but is he really going to fall for the same trick twice unless they stab him in the throat with a vial of his own blood... or.. cut his neck/throat so he bleeds into himself.. heeey, wait...

[Edort4]

Would a punch in the stomach, wich causes internal wounds and bleeds, be counted as drinking his own blood?

Anyway Hidan has to die by the hands of shikamaru, he has been to obsessed with it to let naruto or sakura kill him. So Im almost sure that he is going to take something out of his sleeve to defeat Hidan.

Kakuzu and naruto will collide with their best jutsu and Kakuzu and his ultimate killing jutsu will be owned (and obliterated) by Windsengan making everyone say OMFG.

[FullMetalAlchemist]

it's imprinted with some forum site's name. I think it's just fan-art, but it's a cool rendition of what gamakichi would look like grown up.

How about some guesses on what this new technique will be called? kazerasengan? rasenkazegan? kazengan? tatsumaki-rasengan?
