Naruto Shippuuden Episode 85

[DarthEnderX]

So who's the asshat who wanted a monk dead?

If I had to guess, I would say that since he was one of the 12 guardians, as was Asuma, I would say someone who was a political enemy of the Lord of Fire during the time they were his protectors.

[Abdula]

Like I said way back when this whole bounty discussion started, the other reason for bounties could be to collect bodies. Oro showed us that you can create terribly powerful slave zombie warriors (that even sounds cool) by simply having the rotting corpse of a powerful ninja and then sacrificing any nameless minion of yours to power it. So, you can simply place a bounty on some asskicker ninja, have him taken down by an uber powerful bountyhunter like Kakuzu, and you have a weapon to use in some special operation. Nothing personal but extremely efficient compared to devoting 20 years to raise a ninja that still might not turn out well.

Yes that is what I was thinking but I'm not expecting to see any zombie armies. Rather I think this has more to do with something that was mentioned back in the Zabuza arc. That stuff about hunter nins having to destroy the bodies of rogue ninjas to prevent the villages secrets from getting out. Surely the body of Asuma, who was not only the son of the Third and one of the Leaf's top ninjas but one of the twelve ninja guardians, contains a lot of secrets. Secrets that would make his corpse extremely valuable.

[DarthEnderX]

Well, when they said secrets contained in their bodies I always assumed it related to Kekkei genkai.

Since Asuma didn't have one as far as we know I don't think there's much they can get from his corpse.

[Buffalobiian]

Secrets don't always have to be genetic Blood Line limits. The body may contain things like evidence of the village's training methods, any soldier pills the pharmacy may have secretly produced, or maybe hints of how certain techniques are performed.

That's why they send Hunter Nins around to kill Missing Nins, regardless of whether they've got special genetic traits.

[Tetsu]

Well this isn't about ep 85 but I didn't want to make a new thread for 86-87 because I don't have a torrent for it.

Ep 86-87 already out on Usenet , http://www.animeusenet.org/, but not on torrent. The nfo says "lol usenet only release". Is it some sort of joke by the poster or by DB? I already downloaded the episode and it looks real so far. Going to watch it now and see... Anyone know what's happening?

File is [DB] Naruto Shippuuden 086-087 [B46272E9]

[Marik]
