Got a question...need an answer~

[Jiraiy4]

After Jiraiya informs Kakashi of Akatsuki, Kakashi asks </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>&quot;and that person is the &quot;nine tails&quot; isn&#39;t it? Are you sure of this?&quot; </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> then Jiraiya replys </div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>&quot;It&#39;s very likely. It&#39;s chakra is one of the strongest. After all, it is one of the Youma&quot;</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

Exactly what are they talking about?

[Raven]

Akatsuki is after the kyubi. &quot;that person&quot; is a translation error, as obviously the demon fox isn&#39;t a person.

He&#39;s saying &quot;Akatsuki is after a certain person.&quot;

Then your quote comes in: &quot;and that person is the &quot;nine tails&quot; isn&#39;t it? Are you sure of this?&quot;

&quot;It&#39;s very likely. It&#39;s chakra is one of the strongest. After all, it is one of the Youma&quot;

The Youma are the legendary demons of which the kyubi is one of, if not the strongest, not sure.

[Uzumaki Kakashi]

if anybody knows anything about the youma, im very intersted like if someone has a site giving info and maybe pics of how they are represented that would be awesome.

thanks

[Uzumaki Kakashi]

youma is the group of legendary demons of japanese myth. kyubi is supposed to be the strongest and most dangerious of the 9. i just want to find out about the other 8. foxes are supposed to be very strong as is, but the fact that the nine-tails has lived for thousands of years (we know this b/c after like a 1000 years the get any extra tail)

[Chi Chi]

So it seems that there are 9 Youma and 9 A. members. So it seems that they each want a demon.

[_Sasuke_]

so does anybody know which other youma demons there are besides the Kyubi?

[PSJ]

i dont know if it counts as a youma but there is the tanuki... it is also some kind of creature in japanese mythology.

[Jiraiy4]

yea ...each of the nine akatsuki member seem to be after the chakra of the youmas.

[Kumiriko]

it be intresting to see naruto if he lost the 9 tales

[Everon]

Yeah it would be interesting for Naruto to lose his Kyuubi, I wonder if Naruto&#39;s life is tied to the fox, like if they remove the fox, Naruto will begin to leak chakra till he dies/ regains the demon fox.

No idea what the other 8 demons are. Is Gaara&#39;s sand badger one?

[XwingRob]

Wait isn&#39;t there only currently 8 member of Atasuki? Since Orochamaru left?

[PSJ]

no it is still 9 members actually we dont know the number of members before orochimaru left if they found a guy to take orochimarus place or if they were 10 before. and no gaara&#39;s &quot;demon&quot; is a sand preist not a real demon.

[Hatake Kakashi]

I think at the conclusion of the series, the Kyubi will get loose, and Hokage Naruto will have to beat it himself. Relying on his own chakra and guts.

[Hotsuma]

Maybe each of the 8 tales (excluding Kyuubi&#39;s own) is actually the 8 other Youma. It&#39;s a thought.

At the end, Naruto will lose his Kyuubi power, unless he becomes so reliant upon it, that he refuses to hand it over. Then, it&#39;d be lame.

Kind of like when Grahf beats your ass in Xenogears w/Alpha Weltall the time you reach the sunken ship, and then tells you you lost, because you were relying on &quot;System Id&quot; (which is basically an evil version of Fei..but, only a lot deeper and cooler), instead of your own strength. Same thing here.

Naruto will probably become more powerful, even without the Kyuubi. Actually, I don&#39;t think the council would want somebody with a demon in his soul, to lead Konoha.

[Uzumaki Kakashi]

i doubt the other 8 youma are going to be used in the manga b/c then it would become a mythological anime.

maybe one or two more would be ok, maybe in another ninja.

thata would be a cool enemy.

no gaara&#39;s demon is a sand preist reincarnated into a badger. (go figure)

does anyboyd know the other youma like what are they and what animal do they represent?

i doubt the akatsuki want the other demons but just kyubi , like y for other when u can get the strongesdt which can defeat all other 8 that would be awesome.

[Insomniac]

if you guys noticed

when he says &#39;that person&#39; theres a panel with Orochimaru.

OK, I wasn&#39;t sure.
One theory I have is that once Atasuki realizes that it will be too difficult to steal Kyuubi, they will try to entice Naruto to the dark side.

Edit: I agree with your theory, Hatake Kakashi, that fight will be awesome.

[Mut]

there were originally 9 members. now there are 8 after orochimaru left.

the remaining 8 members split into 4 groups of 2.

[Hatake Kakashi]

A common mistake is that people believe that Kabuto was in Akatsuki as well, but I doubt that. Some say he was Orochimaru&#39;s partner, but that wouldn&#39;t make sense, because he was undercover in Konoha his whole life practically.

Orochimaru might have been the odd man out in Akatsuki from the start though.

Interesting theory.....

I think one of the others is a turtle, and another is a lizard.... but I have no idea of any specifics or their names....
