Naruto's secret

[Baranthal]

Hrm, sakura is important for one main reason, she is one of the focal points of the rivalry between sasuke and naruto. Every story needs a character that provides motivation to the protagonists, and Sakura is the personification of the rivalry between naruto and sasuke in many ways.


Another thing to keep in mind, is that Naruto probably has more chakra potential then any genin we've met. A good analogy (wierd, but go with me), is the guy who is a champion hot dog eater. Naruto overflows himself with chakra from the nine tails enough times, eventually it's going to stretch out the container that normally contains a certain amount of chakra, and Naruto will have a greater chakra capactiy. One key point in the series for me was when he did the mass replication against Gaara. From my perspective (also the way they colored the anime), he did not use any nine tails chakra to do this. That was an enormous amount of chakra to do that.

The same thing with the rasengan. One of the comments made by Tsuanade is that naruto's attmepted uses of the rasengan were never containing the power of the fourth (while he was training). Saying that the rasengan doesn't take much chakra I think is a bit off kilter in compared to chidori, mainly due to how much chakra that Naruto was using to "charge" his balls of chakra during the training.

i cant watch the first few episodes so cant double check on what was said. i am going mostly on how the jounin and ninja behaved to seeing naruto summon the ninetaisl chakra during the chuunin exam. yes we know he was shunned early in life and that is important to how he has developed but maybe ppl know to avoid him even if they dont exactly why? even the kids in school avoided him even though they didnt know why and this may apply to people who only recently have become higher ninja like the jounin i am referring to.

i definatly agree, as he draws more chakra and uses it more often he is able to summon even more the next time, and summon it more easily. he seems to have transformed into lvl1 naruto fairly easily when had to face kimimaro, and also now facing sasuke. the whole eyes changing, black marks on the cheeks and more clawlike hands etc etc. he definatly couldnt do that at will not that long ago.


about rasengan. my translation for it SUCKS and i cant seem to get the inane version so could you please tell me what the hell tsunade said. i have read other posts referring to how she says the power is nothing like the 4th's and totally confused on that. does this mean there are higher levels to the rasengan (i remember reading there are six levels and he has only mastered 3) and the 4th had mastered all six or something?

also, when jiraiya is first explaining the rasengan, he says it took the 4th 3 years to master this jutsu, did he mean 3 years to figure out level one, or 3 years to master the rasengan completely (all 3 or 6 levels of it)?

well about the rasengan. He said that the 4th was a certain number of levels above the 3rd. Not sure how many. My guess is that there is more to the technique than naruto has mastered.

I think Sakura will "bloom" later on in the series.

Right now she is basically useless as many have said, however she does have the best Chakra control. I think after the Sand/Leaf -vs- Sound fights are over and there is some sort of progress with Sasuke's part of the story, we will see Tsunade take Sakura on as her student.

I mean when you think about it: Orochimaru has Sasuke and Jiraiya has Naruto, so its only logical that Tsunade takes on Sakura. Her Chakra control would surely lend itself well to healing since it probably requires very precise actions. Also, besides Kabuto, Tsunade is the only Healer in the series that's had more than 1 or 2 lines (refers to the guys with the stretchers during the Prelims). And since she's the Hokage now, that doesn't leave any A-List healers (again, as far as we've seen) to watch over the Leaf.

I would imagine that just about everyone KNOWS that Naruto has Kyuubi sealed inside of him. The thing is that very few people know that he can draw chakra from it. Just mine 2 cents...

i guess this only means that naruto cant do the jutsu as well as 4th. and as for that 6th level jiraiya is talking about thats how strong the jutsu is. jutsus seem to be grouped in 7 diffrent levels, 7 being the strongest then 6, 5, 4 well you get it. so no there arent 6 diffrnet levels to master the rasengan its just the parts naruto did. but naruto hasnt mastered it yet ha has only learned it. he cant do it like jiraiya in a split second with one hand he needs a clone to from it or his other hand.
