I'm all happy for Naruto and his power up. It's about time people started liking him and him being more like his dad...
I hope this is a start of a new trend where Naruto continues to improve and get better, maybe even start using more jutsus, but who knows, I want the best for our lil Genin!
Oh yea, I keep forgetting...Pain is getting pwned by a (technical) Genin. Although with the destruction of Konoha, I'm not sure if rank will mean that much anymore.
Naruto is CLEARLY the strongest genin in Konoha.
Who can compare? There are probably some stupid gimmicky genin rookies (bugs wtf), but Naruto is dismantling the re-incarnation of the strongest ninja in history. Naruto wins.
I love how you call chakra-fucking-eating bugs just a stupid gimmick...
I just want to see what happens next without overthinking his powerup and whatever. Things are actually capable of fanning out in quite a few ways.
The one thing I don't want is Pein chickening out and things returning to status quo (minus konoha, unless they rebuild it or had some kind of genjutsu hax. That would piss me off endlessly)
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
My prediction for what is going to happen is that Naruto will beat Pain. Or at the very least force him to retreat. Tsunade will live. Kakashi will die. Naruto will become the sixth hokage, however he won't really take over any day-to-day duties, his title will be more aluding to the fact he will one day take over as hokage. Instead he will continue to be sent on missions. His first one of which being to attend that summit of the kage's we heard about several chapters ago. As for Danzo's coup d'eta Sasuke will probably show up and stop that (if Naruto isn't in any condition to stop it himself that is) before it really gets any where, not only does this allow Sasuke to massacre the people responsible for the death of his clan but it also allows him to fall back into Konoha's good books.
Tyreal...that is too convenient and makes too much sense to work. No fucking way it'll happen. :P
Can we stop all the Dragonball crap? Thanks.
I thought it was a pretty cool chapter, Naruto kicking ass more than makes up for any "problems" you might have with the inconsistencies you might have found in plot. Sometimes it seems like people don't realize or forget that they're reading a shounen series.

Seriously. A lot of what we been reading the past few months has all been building up to this moment, seems like the people who've been crying out for naruto to not suck anymore suddenly feel like hes too powerful. I say its about time he can fight like a real ninja in true one on one esque, yea theres some frogs backing him up but he's the one leading them, format. Idc what happens the story is reaching it's pinnacle and Im loving every page of it.Originally Posted by Munsu
Out of all of this, while I am happy he got all the sage energy usage, I'm REALLY happy he got a formal taijutsu fighting style. It's about all he was missing to be on the level, if not higher, than fighters like neiji, even without considering his demon cloak.
I didnt think that the timeline would match up for Naruto to be the Sixth Hokage, but really, his strength has developed a lot faster than I thought that it would. The only thing about Naruto being hokage, is that although I think that he is strong enough, at this point I dont think that he is smart enough. I could see someone like Shikamaru becoming Hokage before Naruto for his tactics alone. Not to mention Shika is not a "rogue" ninja like Naruto. Naruto likes to go out and fight, not sit at home and read reports. I ultimately see Naruto taking on more of a Jariaya lifestyle - being comfortable with his strength, and having the whole world know his name, but knowing that he can do more good out in the field.

I don't think Pein will be able to recharge enough before Naruto threatens to completely wipe him out. He now knows where Naruto is, so he should retreat and regroup. He should probably bring some backup on account of how badass Naruto is now.
Then again, maybe Sasuke will show up and decide to help Pein out.
What?!! You gotta be fucking kidding me, right? Naruto has years and years and years and years and years and years and years to left to learn jutsu, strength (both in leadership and fighting) and tact. Especially tact and fighting. All he's done so far time after time after time (albeit successfully but that isn't the point) is make clones, and then ambush with a surprise. Now that something has just been replaced with a nuke that has to has to has to hit to work, that's it. Nothing more.
And to anyone who thinks skill is important over youth in things that intelligence can over come. Lies. All lies.
1. A hokage, any kage for that matter has to be a power house in unable to be touched by anyone. The only time this isn't a problem is in case of emergencies. Like when Jiraiya didn't want the position (one I think he even wasn't strong enough for since Pein owned him Royally) and Tsunade took it. Naruto, Shikamaru, hell even Kakashi isn't there yet. Personally I don't think the 4th was either but that's just me. In my opinion, only the first, second, because they almost never smiled and new their shit hella good as ninjas, were the only ones who could be hokages. Maybe, Danzou. I mean yes he's a war monger, but he'd be using konohas forces to the fullest potential. And that's what needs to be done. A village has ninjas for a reason. Use them. It's about time someone did.
2. If age didn't matter, than how come the 3rd new everything about almost everyone in the vllage and practicallya fucking oracle for Konoha? That's important to running something. Shikamaru can't even advise that well yet. Kakashi even can't. Even Tsunade has a tough time and got scared in certain situations. Like for example if I wanted to hire a guy to run one of my investments, or a company for that matter. I wouldn't want him to be really really smart. I want him to be old, and experienced and cocky from his age of business work.
3. Why does everyone think just be he learned a wasteful chakra move (and I swear to god if someone brings up the hole in the tree that Jiraiya made or Kakuzu being killed by it, I'm done with naruto for a good while) that Naruto is powerful all of a sudden? I don't care how much he trains, Kishi will never get me to think that about him. Ever. It's like Luffy beating Moria or Crocodile. Those fights should have been more like Zoro when he was fighting Mihawk. Total ownage.
It's going to take a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long, LONG time till I think of Naruto as strong. And btw everyone, Kishi is just using Pein as a pawn to or tool in a story to make Naruto finally stronger. Which is complete bull crap writing. Sasuke was almost perfectly done. The mother fucker spent 2 years straight with the strongest pure evil sanin. He should be that strong.

Drink less.
Well for starters we don't even know if the real Pain is with them. All Naruto might acomplish here is to defeat the bodies of Pein and have the "real" Pein awaken and be like, now I have to enter the battle, but he might be far away. Unless I missed something with that lead Pein form.
We actually do know that Pein is not really with them...

Isn't he controlling them somehow through the rinnen'gan from a remote place? And isn't the body Nagato (sp?) the dark haired kid with the original eyes? That's interesting actually. I mean how did he become a member of the akatsuki or even the guest leader for a while under madara in the first place? We all know the back story of each other ninja in the roster of the club, but not Nagato. What drove him "get away" from his village in the first place? Or did he just come from the rain village and stay there to become it's leader?
Most of it was explained actually...here take a peek...

Whatever happen to Zetsu?
"The End Justify The Means"
He's probably just waiting for Pains or Madaras next orders in the HQ.
Okay, first he says that guy is Nagato and then he says he isn't. Which means that not only did he error in saying that, but pain someone managed to change his appearance or Jiraya was trying to extrapolate what Nagato would look like when he grew up and this "Pein" body was close enough looking.
So my original theory still stands, even if Naruto were to defeat these bodies, he will have accomplished really nothing. As the real Pein has not entered battle yet. There is much left to be done, but I will say, I'm hooked on the manga, that much is for sure.
