    I feel like Naruto wont just get a powerup to his abilities but he'll also gain a new sense of focus. I notice the frog statues sitting in a meditation posture. Fukusama talks about sensing nature's energy and becoming one with the earth. And in terms of etymology I see senjutsu as being like a "zen jutsu". I dont see these as loose correlations and it would be logical that Naruto gains strengthened awareness a la yoga masters, shaolin monks, tai chi practioners, etc. That would be a cool way to go about things although the "you gotta die" line does worry me that Kishi will take the easy way out of giving Naruto his powerup.

    Sage techniques? Like, why isn't this kind of shit introduced in ninja academy? Or heck, even the elemental chakra stuff?

    Naruto is getting more random and more lame.

    I'm gonig to take a wild guess, but he's going to be able to make some Kage Bunshins that don't poof in one hit.

    And like.... Why didn't the frogs summon Jiraiya to safety.

    Like, because you have to die first, duh. We can't have Iruka running around lopping off kids' heads now, can we?

    We've already seen kage bunshins not poof in one hit. And you know what? If THIS makes that happen for Naruto, we can probably lay to rest the difference between the third's use of clones and Naruto's.

    Maybe it's like an MMO where you can't log out while aggroed.

    Not to mention Ichigo also had to die to become a Shinigami.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    let's get things straight here... who had to die for what?

    naruto has to die to get sennin stuff.
    sasuke had to die to get 2nd level curse seal (remember that?)
    anyone else had to die in Naruto?

    Bleach ---- I don't think it's spoilers, but be warned!------

    Ichigo
    Ishida

    Shaman king - show is over, can't have spoilers.
    Yoh.
    Ryu
    that other, stupid, pointless guy.

    Yu Yu Hakusho.
    Yusuke
    Kurama and Hiei as well, if I recall corectly.

    am I missing someone?

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    doesn't count.
    Goku died, and only then started thinking about uber training. if he wouldn't have died, the saiyans wouldn't have known about the dragonballs, and everything (up until the RR android's) wouldn't have happened.

    it wasn't a situation of "if you want to get stronger\the next level\cake you must die" thing.

    No, but Saiyans need to "almost" die to obtain the greatest power increases once they recover.

    It's funny how the survival of Konoha lies in the hand of a frog. Literally!

    I'm wondering how Naruto is going to "die". If they mean literally then his Kyuubi powered regeneration might get in the way of that not to mention any possible effects on the seal if he actually does die.

    I seriously wanna see how ridiculous his Rasengan is gonna be after this. I mean when he puts in the wind nature AND Sage chakra. Heck wouldn't that be like a freakin nuke considering his incomplete Wind Ragengan already made a huge explosion? O_o;
