Naruto Shippuuden Episode 174

[Jessper]

i came here to comment on the ep

but did this asshole just spoil something major? fucking scrubs should be wiped clean for doing shit like this

ban this fool fucking christ

Yay for overreactions.

Itachi said he gave Naruto something to protect him against Sasuke. One possibility is Susanoo, Itachi's third Mangekyo ability since it seems to be the ultimate defense. Or something along those lines...

On this actual episode: Killing everyone and going through death sequences for them only to bring them back is stupid and cheapens any death here on out, yay for that. I like Kakashi but am not really excited to see everything returned to normal.

[Kraco]

The mass slaughter (pain) was Nagato's answer to the question of peace. Jiraiya and Naruto's was the opposite to that. Naruto's words (and his own that he had forgotten already) convinced Nagato that he had erred and he decided to switch back to the path he once believe in. In that sense undoing the deaths was quite natural. Under most circumstances I'd have thought it a poor choice by the author but not in this case since Nagato's return made all the death invalid. It could be said that they would have served as a measure of Naruto's real conviction of not leaving Jiraiya's path no matter what, but requiring such a thing would have meant Nagato hadn't really believed him. If you demand proof for something, it indicates lack of belief, after all.

Well, I can't really explain why I don't mind this particular case of resurrections any better than this. Typically I view every good story needs good guys dying - due to having Les Miserables as one of the very first novels I ever read - so I deem I hold some perspective.

That would then conflict with the sharingan he already got from Itachi

thanks for that spoiler.... they haven't explained in the anime what it was itachi had to speak to naruto about.....

[Archangel]

They haven't in the manga either, but apparently not being retarded constitutes as a spoiler around here?

[DarthEnderX]

I'm with Arch. They've already shown that Itachi can give people one-shot uses of his Mangekyou power(granted, the other person he used it on at least had a Sharinan already).

Though I can't imagine it's another Amaterasu, cause you can be pretty sure Itachi wouldn't want Naruto to vaporize Sasuke.

I suspect though what he gave him though is something that will either break Naruto out of Sasuke's Tsukiyomi, or negate Sasuke's ability to supress the Kyuubi. My money is on the former.

Sounds like a plan, but what can Naruto do against those pesky black flames?

he can freshen sasuke's fiery heart with a cool island song

[LunaticCat]

and in the end it will be something boring... maybe a message form Itachi to Sasuke or something. This message will make him come back to Konoha and they will all be happy.

When Naruto get's hit by Amaterasu, it will turn out to be a clone than got hit. That's just a fact.

I found it alright because all the Six Paths theory makes sense and is really based off the Buddhist belief of reincarnation.

When Nagato used his "death" technique, he got reduced to this current state. His "life" one would surely kill him.

As for all the confusion about who's getting revived, the subs said "Pain controls life and death." The Buddhist theory of reincarnation also has a period of 49 days after death where your spirit lingers before reincarnating into a different body. This may be used to explain why Nagato did or didn't resurrect certain people, but the easiest explanation is that he performed it on the village.

My only problem is that they skipped over Nagato's "How long are you going to make us wait" question.

Wasn't an overreaction.

Spoilers have been posted before, things have been ruined, and the matter-of-fact way it was stated made me think it was fact.

It's also kinda retarded to assume that sharingan is what was given to him via the mouth-stuffing.

I always assumed it would be some sort of trigger, like the one he implanted in sasuke for when he meets madara's eye.

You know, something that triggers itself if Sasuke ever uses mangekyo against Naruto, or something.

[Archangel]

Flicking a dude in the forehead sure but mouth stuffing is just plain silly?

[DarthEnderX]

Which was Itachi giving Sasuke his Sharingan. Which is exactly what Arch was suggesting he did with Naruto.

[iMUSTbeTHEdevil]

I am thinking that it is going to be something more along the lines of the Fourth visiting Naruto. I think that Itachi will appear before his brother one more time to tell him that he loved him and that he must stop his quest for revenge.

Lame yes, but you can see it happening now can't you?

I really hope not, I hate them reusing major, important plot devices like that. I think it would be important enough to explain what happened to Sasuke after whatever it is that he did goes off. "Itachi wanted me to stop you if you ever threatened the village, this is his legacy" to snap Sasuke out of his anger. (PURELY HYPOTHETICAL AND NOT A SPOILER LULZ)

Maybe i should use this as a sig for precaution

this.

sorry for the accusations arch, but it was just the way you said it, i don't read the manga so i don't know what's going on there

he can freshen sasuke's fiery heart with a cool island song

Couldn't be more wrong here. He needs to melt his icy heart with a hot island song.

Now thatttt that controversy is over on to the next one.


Even if it was a spoiler that somehow slipped out of the Arch's gullet..... wouldn't it be better to assume that its purely speculation so that you can just let it drift on by and not stick to the back of your brains?

Seems like youre looking to be spoiled to me.

No I don't think so, you cant fight fire with hot island songs. Maybe he'll cool down sasuke's fiery heart with a fresh island song?
