No one said that this chapter furthered the Danzo/Madara theory. We said exactly the opposite.Originally Posted by Sidnne
Haha, nice observation. Now I hope those two really do interact at some point. Raikage is the manliest character we've seen in a while.Originally Posted by rockmanj

Alright...I think I'm ready to accept the reality of the manga's ambitions (or lack thereof) and continue reading.
Hehe...one of Tsuchikage's escorts is a fat Choji.
Naruto hasn't really figured out what he's supposed to do about this breaking the hatred cycle thing. This beating is just one of those things that's part of his development. Sure it's pointless, but it's the kind of thing that shows where his mind and heart are regarding the issue. The kind of thing you'd expect a teenager without answers to do. The type of thing those cloud ninja would see in a flashback when they have an alliance with the leaf, and they witness Naruto do something both right and impressive, as Hokage, to break the hatred cycle wherever it arises at the time. In that light...I kind of liked it.Originally Posted by Abdula
And seriously, somebody get Misukage a man. Enough frustration, and I can see her going totally bonkers. No one would be safe.
The problem with Naruto taking a beating is... it has been done to death. It is boring, and makes Naruto look like he took several steps back. It even implies that he lacks confidence in what he preaches, not to mention that he looks very, very uncool right now.
A better way to handle it would be for Naruto to tell those two that he will handle Sasuke personally. Of course, the ninjas would react violently and attack Naruto. Naruto then absolutely dominates them (without hurting them of course) using sage mode. This shows that the Naruto that used to simply declare things but lacked the power to do it, has finally achieved such power. Also, it makes him look absolutely cool.
That is just one way of redoing that scene, among many others that can be easily thought of by anyone.
Peace.
Well Oro was obsessed with obtaining a Sharingan it's possible he had/has info on how to restore one thats been damaged since its been assumed for some time that Madara's Sharingan has been damaged. Also I don't think we've seen Madara's arm, I thought they were all gloved. Not to mention if Danzo is Madara he could be using some form of Astral projection to be Madara/Tobi where his arm isn't all messed up.Originally Posted by Sidnne

The Madara/Danzou theory is really a weak one, the biggest flaw is that i`ve pointed out only a gazillion times already that Madara sent pain to find Naruto and extract the 9 tails while Danzou killed that frog so that pain doesn`t finds Naruto thus making it imposible for him to extract the 9 tails. There`s also the fact that in the end, Danzou wants what`s right for the village while Madara only wants revenge.
But whatever, some people in this forums seem to get a hard on for this dumb theory though, so i expect next weeks relevation of how Kisame enjoying long walk on the beach proves without reasonable doubt that Madara = Danzou.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
Yeah Naruto getting bashed up for no apparent reason after being so cool last week is a let down.
I didn't like some of the new character designs, but the new Mizukage looks good, as agreed by many of her new fans here
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
this is the first time I've heard that Danzo doesn't have one of his arms... weird.
next in line, Naruto is top contender for the Jesus position, I think that his answer is somewhat correct. he's taking the hatred from the mist village and when time comes, he'll take all the hatred he gathered and turn it into positive hatred, which will allow him to cancel out the negative hatred that made Sasuke so strong.
also, so many awesome ninjas, why do we still need Sakura around?

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.
its official... i hate kurui. shes so horribly immature. seeing the kages was cool, and i think that someone mentioned before the madara as mizukage was a mistranslation. even in the official english adaptation he is refered to as the former mizukage. but madara = danzou theory are still vastly unfounded.
it bothers me that none of these new characters have a remotely evil look to them. it seems like taka and akatsui are gonna be way out numbered when they try to crash the party. im hoping that one of the kages are on akatsukis side.

Its clear the current Mizukage isn't the same one that was during Zabuza's time. I remember that Zabuza defected from Mist when he tried to assasinate the current Mizukage (Madara)... and that was at least 15 years ago since Haku was still a small child. Madara had enough to leave.
Even with all the new character introduced... this chapter felt shorter and slower than usual.
Kishimoto just wasted more than half the chapter on some retarded "humor." That is the type of shit that would make me stop reading a manga if I were paying for it. But that's why I don't pay for shit when I don't have to, so I can't wait for the next chapter!
i think you'd continue to buy it considering that you would be getting over a dozen different mangas for under 5 bucks. slow pace aside; this chapter was simple fan service. kishimoto showed us all the kages in one chapter. besides it better to do this kind of chapter while the story is slow then to waste a chapter introducing those characters after the pace picked up.
about the only real plot movement we got was about danzou and kabuto. with kabuto mentioned it looks like all the loose ends of this story are meeting at a single place. this indeed seems to be a final story arc. ... now if we could just resolve that standing hinata issue that seems to have been ignored for a while...

After reading this weeks chapter I just really felt like I was reading Manga Filler for some reason. Just didnt have the same vibe. So meh, will wait and have to see if next weeks is better.
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
Probably because of all the ridiculous filler-esque characters that were introduced.Originally Posted by iMUSTbeTHEdevil
The only one I'm curious about is the new mist 7 swordsman. I always had a particular interest in that group.
This made me lolOriginally Posted by XanBcoo

Oops, I did read that but parsed it like he was refuting both theories:Originally Posted by UChessmaster
I see what he meant now. Anyway, hopefully this chapter will have put it to rest.Well, that most certainly downplayed [Madara as the Mizukage and making Danzou look more like Madara.]
Why do you want one of the other Kages to be evil? Just because they run another ninja country doesn't mean they have to be cartoonishly villainous.Originally Posted by RasenDori
Or maybe I just really want to see Sasuke get his ass handed to him again.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Isn't that new swordsman way too young to be one of the mist seven? He's called a kid several times, so he can't be in the same generation as Kisame or Zabuza. Does this mean that when old swordsmen die or defect that new swordsmen are added to the mist seven?
"Samsonlonghair - The Defender of the Oppressed And Shunned!" -Kraco
I just think there are seven sword types, and the 7 who can wield them like a master become part of the 7 swordmen, otherwise they would've died out after one generation.

Suigetsu was next in line to be a 7 swordsman within his lineage, so I imagine its the same way.Originally Posted by samsonlonghair
