something's missing

[Demon Brother]

omg... lol i thought this was manga so i was close to post a spoiler (not about the crystal ball and taht is seriously) well i've wondered about it too

[The_Fourth]

If my memory is right didnt Hokage used it two times? First with the Mizuki battle and then with the Naruto-Elite teacher "battle"? (which wasnt really battle because Naruto made that sexy no jutsu thing and beated the teacher lol)

[Xollence]

or maybe it was too similiar to what saruman had in lotr.
or maybe they thought it wouldn't go along with the story.
or maybe they just forgot about the crystal ball like we did.

[The_Fourth]

Taht crystal ball and the palantir are really similar huh...

[*kibakun*]

well actually i noticed that too. well anyways i thought about the whole sand team thing too. one thing i question myself about every now and then is what happened to Mizuki Sensei? anyone know?

[The_Fourth]

I dont know

[shinobi kakashi]

I watched the first episode today, and I notice something that never really got any play in the series,
infact it was gone after the first episode, it was the third hokage's cristal ball.
It seems like something that would handy to have.
anyone notice any other "one time wonders"?

[r3n]

yeah i rewatched ep1 recently and noticed that lol

i wudda thought it might have come in handy, like when hes trying to find out what orichimaru and the sand team are up to

[Anbu Girl]

YEAH YEAH!! UR right.. I always thought about this thing..

where the hell does this cristal ball disappear and why!!?!

u remaind me of something .. i'm not sure if it was the first or the second ep`s ..but I thought that Iruka will die ..when that guy called Mizuki attacked him in his back.. LOL .. that was too much =P but I was really amazed that he could live after that What is going on hehe

[nar'to]

theory,
maybe the crystal ball only works on the people and affliated in the konoha villiage. other peeps are hidden from the crystal's view.
if it could see "everything" it would be too powerful of any item
just a thought

[shinobi kakashi]

yeah, you think he could actually pick up Oro on it? when naruto was running
scared he was puttin off a little more energy than oro would be just chillin

yepp, it wouldnät be a good story if hte 4:th could permit everything

[shinobi kakashi]

best thing i can think of is the 3rd went senile and forgot where he put it.
it&#39;s almost as bad as killing of one of the cool characters

[-ANBU-Sasuke-]

Well that theory about the people only aflitrated with the Konohona. Could be true.

Also the story wouldnt have that &quot;edge&quot; if they knew every single thing that was about to happen.

[Uberbaka]

Uh, When has it ever been said that it is magical? Hasn&#39;t it occured to you guys that it might just be a fancy screen for their ninja security cams (which we see in action during the second part of the exam)

My theory.

lol could be, who knows?

But the hokages have power. Don&#39;t doubt them.

[hiroshi]

Or perhaps it&#39;s limited to just Naruto.

After all, he has got that Demon fox inside him. And it is an extremely dangerous thing to have around should it break out. I guess he&#39;s suppose to keep a very close eye on Naruto so that he can see it coming, and it keeps track of him via that seal Naruto has on his chest.

Although he&#39;s being lazy and after all the years he dosn&#39;t think the fox will break free. So he dosn&#39;t keep an eye on him anymore. The only time you saw him use it was when &#39;Naruto&#39; ran off with the sacred scrolls. Naruto hasn&#39;t done anything bad since then, and he&#39;s never used it on anyone else except Naruto so far. So that&#39;s my theory.
