    Yeah, I do too. But wouldn't it be awsome if they were!

    Maybe not, DarthEnder, that would make them overpowered. If Itachi is stronger than Orochimaru, then when Itachi and Kisame entered Konoha, they would have been able to kill everyone at that time except for maybe Jiraiya because when Orochimaru invaded Konoha, he needed the support of his Sound ninja to help him.

    I found the episode to be quite a tease though. Nothing great happened, and those flashbacks really do prove that Naruto might be changing "nostalgic-dattebayo!" as his new phrase.

Its not that they're his subortnates, but rather hes the dude with the master plan, and they're following his lead for thier own benifit.
    Well, that seems quite reasonable and likely. After all, if they do have a solid plan they are following, no matter how simple, then it practically needs to have originated from the mind of one person. But like has been said, these people are renegades, who left their villages, so it's not likely they would just join another "village" with strict leadership.

    That makes little sense. So, if somebody is stronger than Orochimaru, he would suddenly be so strong that he could take on the whole world all by himself? Ehheh. We have seen Itachi has one of these ultimate attacks, but we have also seen he gets tired pretty fast when using it. So, in practice it means he can defeat pretty much any single or few tough opponents (including Oro), but then he's too weak to really continue and must withdraw for his own good.

    Yeah. Itachi could kill just about any SINGLE character that has been introduced. But he's not geared for mass devastation, he's like the perfect assassin. You throw enough bodies at him at once, he's gonna die. The Jinchuuriki on the other hand, are walking nuclear weapons. It's the reason Orochimaru wanted Gaara to go apeshit during his attack on Konoha, one of several layers of attacks that he put together knowing that some were bound to fail. The chakra control part of Orochimaru's summons were never clearly explained. But including those, plus Manda, his own attacks, and his ability to deceive followers, he's better suited to fighting droves of people.

    As damaging as Sakura's hits appear to be, remember that they utilize her limited chakra pool. How much of Naruto's chakra do you think he's utilizing for each rasengan? Sakura's attacks have a much lower damage ceiling than what the rasengan is gonna do.

    I'm so happy to be looking forward to episodes again.

    I don't actually right away remember any indication of how much chakra an average rasengan will consume. We saw Naruto's training results when he was trying to master the technique in time to face Tsunade in the city of the fallen castle. And it looked like he had created rasengan hundreds of times. Not like Sasuke's few chidori per day. So, I would say rasengan consumes much less chakra than a chidori. Possibly less than Sakura's monster strength. It needs to be remember rasengan is highly controlled, unlike chidori which seems very chaotic. Chaotic force will annul some of its own power by interference. Much of rasengan's effect is due to the rotational energy which we can assume will save a lot of chakra, because it means less will depend solely on the mythical chakra energy itself to affect the target.

    Where is it said that Gaara's sand is linked with Shukaku? I don't think that's ever been said. Gaara DID however say the sand was a gift from his mother. Maybe it's his bloodline limit from his mother's side? Maybe that love symbol on his face is a seal for the sand?

    The Kyuubi is the strongest because it's 9th, not because it has the most tails. 9 is the number for abundance.

    You need to pay more attention because it's been said a million times.

    The sand is Shukaku trying to protect its host, just like how Kyuubi regenerated Naruto. Because if Gaara dies, Shukaku dies.

    The whole thing about the sand being Gaara's mother is just what Gaara thinks sometimes because Gaara is batshit insane.

    And Gaara put that love symbol on his face himself. Seriously, you need to go back and watch Gaara's childhood flashbacks.
