Great chapter.
So I guess Kakashi gave Kakuzu the final blow. I guess he is gone now, and I think that means Hidan is lost as well. His nature of inmortal may have him alive, but without Kakuzu to re-atach him he is done for as well.
Which village where the guys at the end of the chapter? I guess we will stop seeing Akatsuki again for a while.
Kurenai is definitely pregnant with Asuma's child.
I dont know if I like where this chapter is going. They just show naruto and his new explosively powerful jutsu, now at the end of the chapter you see sasuke sittin around a pile of dead ninja. The next chapter better not unveil a powered up chidori to match the rasengan.
actually, orochimaru specifically said that sasuke didnt kill any of them.Originally Posted by toonice714
Crap, this means Sasuke will probably come back to the light side again at the end (after Naruto defeats Orochimaru). Then maybe Sasuke and Sakura can get married while Naruto is Hokage like in that fanart panel thing.
And was Kurenai's pregnency revealed before or is this the first we've heard of it?
At first I thought Sasuke was implying that he sought to kill Naruto...but then I was wondering why he would want to....
Which led me to what he's been after all along and I COMPLETELY forgot about...his brother!
Basically what I'm trying to say is....I think this next arc will involve a confrontation between Itachi and Sasuke
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
Guess Konohamaru will have a cousin.
A powered up Chidori was already shown by Sasuke.
lol @ keeping Kakuzu alive for Kakashi's dramatic commentary. the jutsu should have disintegrated him into nothingness.
i'm disappointed in the king not being a single entity. i would have been perfectly fine with asuma and kurenai's unborn child being the king. the grandchild of a hokage and child of 2 jounins...this kid is future hokage material without a doubt.
Lineage has nothing to do with being Hokage. If it were, Konohamaru would be the next Hokage.
The last few chapters is really screwing things up for me. Come on? S-Class criminals being beaten one on one by Shikamaru and Naruto? Thats ridiculous. A good chapter, good action, even decent tactics, but still ... the two chars should not be on the level of Akatsuki, and should have used every member of their team to kill off those Akatsuki (and even then maybe only kill one).
It has been said about one hundred times. The Atkatsuki are over hyped ninja with a very short sighted plan. I think once they have eliminated enough of them either the true plan will be revealed or the will fall to a greater villian leading us all into a new more interesting arc. The atkatsuki are dropping like files for a reason, plus it not like they're losing to just anyone. Shikamaru was chosen to be a chuunin before the leaf and the sand's best rookie's for a reason.
that would simply mean that Shikamaru has a very high inteligence and that he could take out an enemy wisely. Remember the Chapter where in the Third was saying that he could have taken out Temari if Shikamaru did not surrender. that only proves hes very intelligent. And with regards to Narutos jutsu, it is as powerful as what Kakashi said. And besides, Naruto was not the one who took out kakuzu alone, Kakuzu was like vs. kakashi, shikamaru (1st part), ino (in which she did not do anything aside from locating kakuzu and hidan), chouji (whose jutsus never damaged a bit to kakuzu), then came yamato and narutos combined jutsu. so basically, it was only Hidan you went out 1 on 1. and considering the fact that Shikamaru had faced Hidan in a battle where in Asuma died. So he would have raised 1000 more plans on how to take out Hidan. Unless of course if Hidan didnot show his true abilities.
Shikamaru won simply due to preplanning and knowing Hidan's one true trick. Where as Hidan really didn't know Shikamaru's true talent - his genius. As far as Hidan knew, he was just some punk kid trying to get revenge for Teacher.Originally Posted by CapsuleCorpJX
As for Naruto.. Him, Sakura, and Sasuke are basically the Sannin reborn - another trio of Kage level Ninja. Though Sakura is lagging behind compared to the guys. As for her strength, it's apparent she's still leaps and bounds above your ordinary Chunin, and most Jounin. Add that together with Chiyo's experience and wisdom, there in lies Sasori's defeat. If she had a wider range of talent, she would probably be the most dangerous one of the bunch as far as unassisted(Kyuubi/Sharingan) skill goes.
Akatsuki may have talent, but they aren't Kages(theories aside) and lack any proven Kage-level ninja since Orochimaru left. Given that, and despite being a Genin with Kage level Chakra, Stamina, and Techniques, Naruto better be able to bust some Upper Jounin-rank skulls.
