WOW! That was most assuredly a perfect example of seamless filler transitions. It felt like the one or so chapters, pretty sure just one, that was stretched razor thin for a really great watch.

It seems like Naruto knows he's no match for sasuke at the moment. Since he said some stuff about him having something inside of him one could wonder if he thinks he would simply lose to his completely cold ruthless nature, or if its just based on the little amount of battle he did. I'm assuming since he didn't even see the whole big fire dude..... somehow the name escapes me probably cause he has so many different names for all his pro skills that one eludes me at the moment.... that it must be based on the prior.

If I hadn't known the outcome already I woulda been really upset right now but since she wasn't ever actually dead already it was only inevitable.

One thing I remember thinking during the intro was that they finally have one since the first and best 4 openers that isn't just Sakura crying the entire time in the background of Naruto and Sasuke having a staring contest. Still there is some of that, I guess it be asking too much to totally block it out... But I'm finally finding myself watching an intro since the original 5 actually now that I think bout it, I loved that one.... boutto go watch that first then go backwards in order. But yeah so many awesome new characters Naruto is seriously at a highpoint in the series right now, definitely rivaling some of the other top arcs forsure. And obviously the best of shippuuden. Seems like each new arc that isnt filler and I dont think they could do filler right here everything is paced so perfectly if they keep it up and just keep stretching single chapter this way we could see like I said some of the peeks of the series soon. Here's hoping, cheers to that.

Yeah this episode was really nicely done, if people didn't mention that most was filler I would have honestly never known. Was Kakashi ever about to be Hokage in the manga?

Yes he was. Same level of disappointment too ^^''

[DarthEnderX]

Heh, what a fun episode.

It's too bad, I was really looking forward to seeing Hokage Kakashi. This episodes kind of makes me think they should put Kakashi in charge of ROOT.

It seems like Naruto knows he's no match for sasuke at the moment.

Which, frankly, seems ridiculous, because I think Sage Mode Naruto would have destroyed Sasuke. Zetsu even says as much.

But since Sasuke is getting an EMS, yeah, Naruto is probably going to need another powerup before their next fight.

[antiravage]

Not only that, but Naruto said two episodes ago that he and Sasuke will kill each other if they fight. As far as I know, a fight that ends with both fighters dead is a draw.

[DarthEnderX]

Not only that, but Naruto said two episodes ago that he and Sasuke will kill each other if they fight. As far as I know, a fight that ends with both fighters dead is a draw.

That's because he intends to fight him at some nebulous point in the future. If they'd fought now, well, obviously Naruto would win because Sasuke is blind now. But even if they'd fought at the start of this arc, I don't see Sasuke winning. Because I don't think Sasuke was stronger than Pain, and Naruto is stronger than Pain.

[Kraco]

Naruto is extremely straight-forward, which went well with his stupidity in the past, but I wonder if he didn't get some discretion and patience, if not guile, from the resent happenings, revelations (by Madara) and his lapse into emoness. Thus I wouldn't personally be quite so hasty to translate his words to the other youngsters as "he's too powerful, we, or especially you, have got no chance". Maybe it was partly that, but some undertones, like the fact how he just walked away without explaining anything, made me think he just intends to follow the path he told Sasuke and doesn't want anybody else in the way.

A good ep, yes. I was expecting the worst after last week's outcries.

[Kraco]

Not really. Ninja are servants. Their services belong to their master. So, if one ninja's objective is to stop another from doing something, then if they both die, the former is the winner, the latter the loser.

[antiravage]

The former is a winner, the latter is a loser, but the result of the fight is a draw.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

If he dies he loses. It doesnt matter what the other guys goals or whatever were cause youre dead, you no longer remain in our lovely 3dimensions. Can't be hokage if youre dead.

[Kraco]

When was the last time Naruto exclaimed he intends to become the Hokage? Hunting Sasuke seems to have become his first priority. After his last speech, it seems dying an emo death together with Sasuke would also be a viable option in his mind.

[Buffalobiian]

Haha, Kakashi was awesome.

"Umm... you've screwed with me enough already.. can I just..leave..?"

The idea of Hokage Kakashi is cool, but much as I would like to see that, he lacks charisma. His laid-back speaking style just doesn't have the aura of command that a leader needs to have.

I'm glad he's back on the field, in any case. More Mangekyou Sharingan. Less paperwork.

Yeah, cause Gaara is a regular class president.

Being a Kage is more about being the most powerful ninja in the village than it is about anything else.

From everything I've seen, is appears that the office of Kage is not so much about being a wise, effective ruler. It's about taking the biggest badass your village has to offer and making him The Face of your village, to show the world that you are not to be fucked with.

Why else would Konoha's top two choices for Hokage after the 3rd's death be two people who had all but abandoned the village are known to be irresponsible. It's because their fearsome reputations as Sanin was what really mattered.

Gaara's psycopath youth dropped the villiage to its knees in terror before him. What he lacks in charisma he makes up for in "I will fuck you up bad". Not in power necessarily, but in reputation.

And my comment wasn't about Kakashi's ability to be a Hokage. Clearly they were about to put him in office. I was talking about how good effective an Hokage he would be compared to everyone else.

You can build that level of attraction through power, but at the same time you can also scrub it all out with a "I don't give a fuck" attitude. Unlike Tsunade, Kakashi doesn't have a servant to keep him on track neither. Gai... would probably drag him out to contests rather than drag him back to the paperwork.

Is Naruto a chuunin yet?

[DarthEnderX]

Is Naruto a chuunin yet?

Nope.

I really hope that becomes an arc in the future. I would love to see Naruto and Konohamaru taking the Chuunin exam at the same time. Recipe for hilarity.

[Kagari]

+1 for that, would be amazing.


When Naruto said they would "kill each other" when they fight, it's possible he was speaking metaphorically?

I mean...regardless of who won, If either of them killed the other it would be a huge death of spirit/character/sanity/etc they would never be the same after that.

Or maybe he meant they'd just asplode eachother

Maybe itachi gave naruto some sealing jutsu power that will seal sasuke however kill naruto as well, kind of like what the third used on oro.

That would actually be really ironic, as Sasuke is fighting to avenge his brother, yet will ultimately be killed by him, which is what he feared before learning the truth about his brother in the first place. That's like triple reverse irony.

[Kraco]

What does he need the exam for? The exam we saw in the original show was little more than multiple fights with a bit of other sort of competition. I think he has seen enough fights of multiple kinds. The whole village calls him a hero already, which should also satisfy any minor leadership ability requirements of being a chuunin. He might not yet have what it takes to be a jounin aside from raw combat power, but a chuunin status should be nothing but a formality. In fact it would be insulting to put him through the exam after all that has happened.

I could totally see it as one of Naruto's personality quirks that he would feel like he HAS to pass the exam, because he failed it last time. Like he wouldn't feel right about taking any shortcuts to Hokage.
