Naruto Chapter 432

[Parkalash]

Everyone that was "whineing" about the part where shikamaru's dad said, that the shoudnt interfere, and what about teamwork, kakashi says the same thing to team 7 in the zabuza arc, when he fights him the first time.. i think its simply coz in this case naruto is so strong and powerful in sage mode that they cant do shit to support him, same in the zauza arc, they are just to weak to be able to fight him, http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/12/04/ tbh its more clear what he means in the Anime imo

Edit: Episode 7 that is

[Archangel]

At that time his back up were genins dude and he was facing a jounin level ninja

Pain may be powerful but i don't think the the power gap is that huge

[Parkalash]

well i still think the basic is the same, just find it funny how frustrated people get with little twists there and here in diffrent situations in naruto

[Uchiha Barles]

A whole village of ninja couldn't stop Pain from 1) finding out where Naruto was, and 2) decimating the place. The Hokage was about to die, Kakashi died, countless other ninja who'd be considered capable in most other situations were made to look like...genin vs. Zabuza. I'd say the power gap was that wide. Plus, Naruto has at his disposal some pretty damned destructive techniuqes. He couldn't have used his rasenshiruken at all if there was another ninja engaged in melee confrontation with any of the Pains there. I mean, unless he was willing to kill them.

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)

The manga actually makes it look exactly as everyone mentioned. I don't have the anime archived anymore, but I'm sure the second rasengan vs. chidori did collide, and that black chakra sphere formed from the collision. I think the animation studio had a Sasuke hard on.

I always thought because of this, right after he attained the third pupil. That's why Naruto had to prove it to him that he in fact could scratch it. But for some reason, I always thought it was accepted by the community because of something I read way back when that Naruto was defeated by Sasuke because Rasengan lost to the Chidori. Which I didn't believe or accept... But I suppose brighter minds have prevailed this time around.

[RyougaZell]

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

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...

Wait... you guys lost me there.

Why would the Rain Nin aid Naruto against Pain?? They think he is their god.

Or maybe you are thinking about the CLOUD nins the Raikage is sending to save/find Killerbee

Sakura: Why weren't you able to save Sasuke, Naruto??!

Naruto: Well you see, i could have owned him with my last attack but the little bitch kept dissing me saying i couldn't scratch his head, so instead of saving his mortal soul from orochimaru's molestation i just decided to fuck his headband a little bit. Yah know, to show him who's boss.

Sakura: ...

Cloud, yes.

And come to think of it, whatever happened to the Killerbee? He was there in his village and then nothing!

[darkshadow]

he was never in his village.

I thought sasuke's wing thing redirected his rasengan?

[Archangel]

Rly? I don't remember that.

I just assumed he used his newly developed sharingan to dodge it

I mean the way he planted the chidori in naruto's stomach while all he got was a scratch on his forehead protector was too fucking epic not to me a sharingan hax

[Death BOO Z]

my two cents on the topic
(obviously, hateful towards Sasuke, as we've come to expect)

at the final page of chapter 232, there's a big, massive, ball of chackra forming from the collison of the two attacks, it fits well, as we're led to believe there's a clash between the chidori and the rasengan.

but, on chapter 233, they're both inside the chackra ball, and now it seems that they're both going to hit each other simultaneously.
also note, this looks exactly like dragon ball (first tournament) where roshi beats goku by having a longer reach in his leg than goku.
so it seems like Sasuke wins because he hit first, and that's because he's built more like a 16 years old than naruto (who's built like a 6 years old). not much of the greatest match between chidori and rasengan. more like a cheap insult and putting in a completely different battle system.

moving on, when naruto is laying on the ground, I noticed a lack of evidence to indicate that he just took on a chidori, and in the page where they hit each other, it looks like Sasuke is making a fist, which indicates that he is pulling back his chidori.
so take it as you may.

from here on, is just plain bashing:
a. Sasuke level 2 is portrayed stronger than naruto going 1 tail kyubi.
we've seen 5 people going level two cs at this point, not one of them has managed to kill anyone. heck, the sound four jumped 2 ninjas with their level 2 seal and still couldn't kill them. how is that supposed to work? Naruto going berserk seems strong enough to make Kisame worry, can anyone believe that Kisame or any akatsuki member would give a shit if he saw a level 2 sealed jerk bag transform? the level gap seems a little odd in my eyes. but that's all, just my opinion.

b. Naruto putting a mark on Sasuke's head band? what's the deal with that? i see the symbolizem of making him a missing nin, but a moment later, Sasuke throws of the headband, making the exact same gesture.

c. the entire arc. Naruto, who's now brimming with strength, power, motivation and conviction. can't win a single fight. not only does he get his ass kicked around by kimimaru (whom I could write alot about how much I hated him), he's actually being saved by "got-out-of-surgery-and-sprinted-my-way-here" Lee.
one lousy, deserving victory, was it too much? yes. and that's why I feel bad about the current fight.
I want Naruto to win, but it's just that I'd much rather see him win a small fight before taking on the master-boss.

[Uchiha Barles]

I couldn't agree with you more. I mentioned this earlier in this thread, but I feel that his strength is where it should be at this point. It's just that while he was getting stronger, we really didn't see worthy opponents that Naruto could beat. We had Gaara, we had Sasuke, and that's it. Between then and now, he really hasn't gotten a chance to face off against opponents of varying levels to allow us to see his power progression in a convincing manner. Also, I think he should've been able to stand up to Kimimaro using the abilities he did at the time. At least, against the amount of power kimimaro was showing. That was just some HORRIBLE bs on the writer's part to satisfy the public's demand for more Rock Lee. One of a couple of mistakes on Kishi's part that took away from the integrity of Naruto's growth.

I agree I wasn't anticipating Naruto from being saved by Rock Lee, but look at the bright side if Rock Lee wasn't involve with the Kimimaru fight Rock lee wouldn't have a fight until the time skip thus making Rock Lee having only one serious fight which was with Gaara.

[kaigan]

everyone thinks narutard is going to be fked up... but noooo, some shit will happen and Pain will leave.... probably Danzo will do something.

btw, wasn't sasgay going to destroy konoha... but Pain pretty much fked up the town.... so.... wtf.

[shinta|hikari]

Am I the only one who thinks it was very foolish of Naruto to use the Rasen Shuriken? He himself said that it took a lot of his energy away, and he only managed to get one body with it. His sage mode might have been better used gradually, and it might have earned him one or two more kills before it ran out.

Maybe Naruto was provoked by Paine when he brought up Jiraiya, and that is why Naruto used his most powerful technique. Still, that does not excuse how careless a decision that was.

As per that last picture of the chapter before it, Naruto assumed it would be all that he needed to finish the fight. He didn't except to only get one, he expected to get all of them.

[Archangel]

Then he should have closed in on them a little bit more.

Oh, and maybe not shout "Get ready for my super special move!!" -_-

That is exactly my point. He was foolish in thinking that he can get the remaining bodies with one risky, easily visible move. He should have rationed his energy more efficiently. But hey, this is Naruto (I am referring to both the character and the series).

[Abdula]

I think you're giving Pain a bit too much credit if you believe he's even capable of regenerating his lost bodies during battle.

Yeah sure. Btw I hate reading the regurgitated garbage in these threads.

Chapter was okay, and I don't know why you guys are ready to christen Naruto as the god of all ninja when Pain has just been standing there and taking it. Thanks to Kishi's genius writing, Naruto's opponents seem to always be at some disadvantage when fighting Naruto and yet you guys still buy into this nonsense. Its like reading the Deidara, the armless ninja, battle all over again.
