Naruto Chapter 432

[animus]

I thought it was painfully obvious that the reason the Ransenshuriken didn't hurt him (or as much?) was because he threw it. It used to probably hurt him because he held it as he slammed it into his opponent. The Sage Chakra might be a plausible one too, but I thought it was the way he went about using it.

You could be right, because when he was training it didnt hurt him,it seems like it only hurts him on impact. So maybe using the Sage Chakra to keep it spining is the trick?

I'm looking forward for the Rain ninjas to appear and stall Pain while Naruto recovers.

[Sidnne]

Thanks, pal.

[toonice714]

Hmm. Why does the sage chakra tire him out? I realize he wont be able to stay in that mode for forever but they said that he is taking in the energy from around him. Whatever good chapter. I wonder if the two remaining pain bodies are still stalling to recharge the "god realm" pain. That seems to be the real one. because that one wasnt with them when jiraiya fought.

[Archangel]

His body can't handle all that power for long periods of time

And God Realm is the body with the "force", not the original body.

Unless Naruto goes 4 Tails at least, he is getting captured. (More-or-less since Pein > Jiraiya > 4 Tails)

The Kyuubi is Madara's left eye, which is why he wants it back so damn much.

The climax of this arc will be Sasuke's decision to save or not save Naruto. No matter which he chooses, Kishimoto will rig it up so Sasuke is playing into Madara's hands.

Do you envision a scenario where Naruto gets captured, a party of our usuals go after him, then return to Konoha to find that it's under the control of Roots? Something along those lines?

[Honoko]

I've been envisioning a Konoha civil war ever since that smiley kid appeared. Unfortunately, Pein kinda destroyed the setting where a civil war could take place =P But internal ninja bickering with Danzo would be pretty cool, as long as that old man dies eventually.

That is definitely a strong possibility. I personally think Konoha is dead as a military power -- with or without Roots in control. But certainly Naruto's immediate need can lead Kakashi (if he survives), Sakura, Shikamaru, maybe Tsunade, or some others to go after him.

On the other hand, there's still that "Child of the Prophecy" stuff. Naruto is supposed to lead a revolution that will change the world. But that can't happen unless Pein wins.

I can't get too specific about my predictions. I just see potential for Berserk-styled awesomeness. :0)

I dont think that the Kage's ever really leave the village unless it is on business. To do so leaves their village in to much danger. But I could see the rest of it happening. Although since it is a Shonen series, it will probably come down to Team Gai and the Rain Nin stepping in to help at the last minute, and Pein will retreat. Naruto will run around looking at what he caused just for living in Konoha and them he will decide to leave...

[Idealistic]

No more SSJ mode. What's the bet Sasuke's gonna waltz in any second to save him?

Sasuke, "Nobody kills Naruto but me!"



But seriously, I want to see Sasuke appear in the middle and have his chidori shield explode and save the day.

[Spaceaprion]

In their last fight, Sasuke's biggest advantage was being able to predict Naruto's attacks with his Sharingan and dodge then counter. Now that Naruto has Sage mode, even if you dodge his punch, it still hits.

I really hope they get to fight one another before they become friends again or something.

I also think it will be team Gai that backs Naruto up. I can't see Sasuke coming into play during this battle, it would be too much epicness.

Now that Naruto has expended his Sage mode, it would be awesome if the Naruto that pwned all those Peins was actually a Kage Bunshin and the real Naruto was the one hanging back gathering Sage chakra.

nope.
last time, Naruto had that ability. the nine-tails energy went away and attacked on it's own. exactly like the sage chackra.
Sasuke won that fight by somehow beating the bigass kyuubi rasengan motherfucker with a chidori.

Actually he used his sharingan hax to dodge the rasengan while punching the chidori right through naruto's stomach

Actually, I always wanted to believe that Naruto could have killed him that time, but instead, just wanted to prove to Sasuke that he could in fact put a scrach on his forehead protecter, just like sasuke said he couldn't.

There would be much more symbolism in that.

As for today's thing, someone called that out a long time ago, where they said the first time we saw RasenShiriken we thought it could be thrown and at that time was the ability to wow us, instead we get gayed and when it finally does get thrown its like whatever, who cares now. I salute you on that call way back when the Rshirken came out.

I like how this episode went, but I'm hoping we something way cooler from Naruto before Team Gai shows up or Sasuke. Like 9 tails mode or something...time to wait and see.

[darkmetal505]

Shurikens are meant to be thrown....

I thought this was so painfully obvious that I didn't think it went any other way.

[Uchiha Barles]

Sasuke basically said he couldn't touch him. After the epic pounding Sasuke took, I think the forehead protector being scratched was a moot point. I recall Sasuke's chidori connecting with the rasengan, and actually ripping through it. Could be wrong.

First time canceled out really.

And although Sasuke does stab Naruto and Naruto only really has one place to hit Sasuke, I think that he still went after his forehead protector, 1. Because they mentioned it 3 times before, and 2. because the line through your headband means that you are a missing nin, and 3. Had Sasuke not had it on, he would have been scalped! (so it worked on a few different levels)
