Naruto Shippuden Episode 36-37

Lol. at all these posts.

There is no way Sasuke would be helping Akatsuki that just doen't make any sense. Naruto is a complete pervert anyone remember when he used to go into the girls bathing rooms claiming that he needed to see what the real things looked like so he could use his sexy jutsu properly.

Yamato building the house was cool the guy likes to travel in style, I don't find him to be creepy but Orochimaru as far as the Narutoverse is concerned is the baddest of all badasses and look at him. Besides they aren't near their mission objective yet, they still have a day or two to get there, I think they are still in the fire country which is home turf so they have no reason to be cautious.

No one knowing about Yamato could simply be due to the fact that he is in the anbu and seems to have been there for a very long time and since who the anbu members are is a secret I don't think anyone would know. Besides people knowing about him is not something you can really go on, if I remember correctly when the Sannin were first introduced nobody in Kakshi's group knew anything about them. Besides from the conversation he had with Kakashi and the others I think that most of the high ranking ninjas in the village know about him.

It is also a pretty safe assumption that he is not related to the first. If he was then that would mean he is related to Tsunade and she doesn't seem to threat him like a relative, secondly all of her relatives are supposed to be dead if I remember correctly. Yamato's age would make him much younger than Tsunade so unless she and Dan had some offspring. Anyway we don't know anything about family histories in Naruto, other than Itachi killed the Uchiha clan.

There's really only 3 possiblities for the spy.

1. Kabuto
2. One of the Sound 4 if any of them somehow survived
3. Someone new.

Cause, Orochimaru isn't spying on Orochimaru, and Sasuke isn't spying for Akatsuke. And we don't know any other sound people.

That was my first reaction when I heard Sasori saying that he has a spy working for him under Oro. I did posted it, but didn't really get equal minded people to react.
I still think there's a possibility that's him, since he's the only one who works under Oro directly and it seems quite weird if they introduced someone out of the blue.

About Yamato, he has a power only the First knew how AND Tsunade really trusts him. That kinda gives a hint about the fact that they're related in some way. It's hard to believe every relative of Tsunade is dead...

Kabuto would seem to be the most likely candidate...especially since he's always seemed so flaky in the past.

Wouldn't that be interesting....
Kabuto being a spy for akatsuki as a spy for orochimaru as a medic nin for Konoha.

So what they just passed him around as a child or something, orphan to medical squad, medical squad to akatsuki, akatsuki to Orochimaru and then back to the leaf as a spy for Orochimaru. I mean he is supposed to be only 22 now they must have passed him around more than addicts pass needles although that would explain why he is so messed up.

Seeing you say that Orochimaru isn't spying on Orochimaru made me think of a possible 4th scenario. Orochimaru sent the "spy" to Sasori and was playing him all along to keep tabs on Akatsuki. Seems plausible to me.

Thats only possible if we assume Sasori is a complete moron though. Sasori would have eithe sent one of his own people who he knew he could trust, or put that mind control Jutsu of his on one of Oro's guys. I highly doubt Oro could just send someone in there and expect some new guy to be the one that gets sent off to spy on him.

Just watched episodes 32-37 in one go. I have to say that the anime has really improved from the whole botched Deidara/Sasori arc. Even the end of that arc was very well done, with a lot of emotion being conveyed and all.

As for the current arc, I am enjoying the anime version more than the manga. There's just a whole lot of things that you can understand in the anime with things such as the tone of voice and music that you can just not pick up on in the mannga. I'm looking forward to what shoul be coming up soon, as the anime is now as a pleasant surprise running along the course of the manga with no filler content thrown in amongst the recent eps.

It's not as such totally impossible. Sasori would never be stupid enough but he could, just like Oro, play the game. So, we could have spy that's doubly compromised, getting and conveying calculated information both ways. Of course this scenario would assume the spy himself would need to be a quite moron to tolerate such a game, and thus it would mean he couldn't be anybody we really know.

Maybe he's from an illegitimate lineage... The First probably hard no shortage of ladies considering he was The First Hokage - quite an accomplishment.

He did plant the seed that became Konoha.

[Abdula]

Lol @ Darthender.

Kraco just what are you insinuating.

[Abdula]

True so he must be potent.

There are so many questions about Konoha and the Naruto world most of which I'm guessing won't ever be answered. Anyway we should have some good action coming up soon lets hope they stay the course and keep everything short and sweet, and the animation doesn't take a hit again.

[Buffalobiian]

What was the significance of the seeds Yamato had? They took some time to show them, and they're definitely part of his equipment. At first I thought he snuck it into the food they ate. 3 seeds, 3 team members, and he kinda looked at the food/Sai funny when they all finished. Maybe that was just him restraining himself to ask Sakura about Sasori though. If those seeds weren't used in the food, then the most likely thing is that's probably the source of his power, using seeds to perform wood techniques.

[ForteCross]

sasuke is a betrayer (i think its write like that) so why couldnt he betray oro? oro wanna kill him and sasuke wants power, its like giving candy to a child, he will do anything for that

[Kraco]

Oro isn't Sasuke's enemy as such. If he were to betray Orochimaru, he would need to gain something more from whoever he would be covertly working for than what Oro is giving him. However, I don't really think Sasuke would like to learn puppet jutsu from Sasori... It doesn't exactly sound like the kind of thing that would give great power quickly.

[Munsu]

Well, Sasori could've had some info to trade... like info on his brother or something.

Still, remember when Shippuden started we got a scene where Naruto and Sasuke meet, there was no bridge around as far as I remember so it doesn't seem they'll meet just yet.

[Abdula]

Sasuke has no reason to betray Oro. Sure Oro wants to take his boby but he already knows that and Oro is giving him power that is why he went there. Orochimaru is not Sasuke's enemy Itachi is, therefore so is Akatsuki so he would not help them. Besides for Sasuke to be Sasori's spy they would've had to have come into previous contact and that hasn't happened.

Sasuke has been in the village all of his life and when he left he went to Orochimaru and Oro had already left Akatsuki so he has never met any of the members besides Orochimaru, Itachi and Kisame.

@ForteCross: Sasuke isn't a betrayer he didn't betray anyone, it was clear from the very beginning that his only goal in life was to kill Itachi everyone knew that. Sure he left the village but he didn't give Orochimaru any information he didn't already know about the leaf and its not as if he tried to attack the village or anything. He left the village to gain enough power to achieve his goals, I don't consider that to be a betrayal. Naruto and the others are the ones who chose to come after him and try to stop him from leaving which didn't make any sense since he was leaving voluntarily so even if they did manage to stop him it would have only been delaying the inevitable.

Didn't make any sense? Even if we forget the fact many considered Sasuke a friend or at least an ally who was making the biggest mistake of his life, we still have the fact Orochimaru is Konoha's enemy and Sasuke was bringing one of the most dangerous Konoha weapons into his hands: Sharingan. So, I'd say that's plenty of reasons, no matter how much free will people are given (and considering it's a ninja village, that is, basically a military base, personal freedom might be lower in the list of priorities than somewhere else.

It's kind of like in the 40's or 50's one of the top nuclear physicist of the USA would have liked to move to the Soviet Union. It wouldn't have made people happy back in the USA, not his friends nor his government.
