Chapter 219 Discussion [Manga]

[Mgslee]

Heres the dillema with the outcome of the fight as I see it

1) Naruto Wins. Sasuke now probably realizes that
A) Naruto is special (or has the kyubi) (doubtful, but he'll end up staying with the leaf)
B) Feels that Oro cant give him the power he needs (he cant even beat naruto!) and ends up traveling on his own
C) losses all purpose in life and is uberly depressed to the point of not caring about anything (even his own life)

2) Sasuke Wins. He'll realize one of the following
A) Oro is powerful and goes off to get more of the power
B) Goes straight after Itachi

I would find it interesting if Sasuke went to Oro and later killed him cause Sasuke found out Oro is now useless and weak... after that we could do a timejump to when Itachi and co make their move on Naruto. Which could be a week or a month or years after, but I think itachi made a comment they need to act soon cause Naruto is getting stronger (I might be remembering this wrong)

[Lefty]

Sasuke is going to win. They would not go through all of this just to get him in time nick of time. naruto's going to loose and loose hard. But this will be a turning point were naruto get's uber serious and becomes unbelavibly strong. so yeah a time jump of about two to three years will happen after the fight ends.

[Gods_Son]

Sasuke will win.

[onlyelliot]

my prediction:

Sasuke woops Naruto's ass yet Naruto keeps coming back for more.
Sasuke eventualy begins to grow weaker as the cursed seal forces your chakra to be consumed much more rapidly.
Sasuke notices that his blows are becoming less and less effective and in frustration leaves his fight with Naruto to seek Oro for more power.
Naruto follows but cant really keep up due to his extensive injuries from the pummeling Sasuke gives him and perhaps passes out mid chase.
I'm not sugesting that Naruto doesnt stand a chance but im merely sugesting that Sasuke has much more power behind his blows.
Naruto is probably equaly or close to as powerful as Sasuke but b/c his power isnt from a seal he cant utilize as much at once, wheras Sasuke is esentialy a candle burning at both ends with the cursed seal.

[PSJ]

ok i have said it many times but ppl dont seem to listen. there wont be any time jump of a year.

[Ryllharu]

The only time jumps made in this whole series are:

1) Where they went through a great deal of D class missions, which are boring so we didn't really need to see them

and

2) The month between the semi-finals and finals of the Chunnin exam when Naruto learned to use Gamabunta

Those were more time dialations than jumps, they showed a lot of it anyway then said "It's been a month already..." or something like that. Time just went by faster between eps/chapters, days instead of seconds like they do during the chapters with major fights.

I certainly hope they can find a better way to advance the story than do a lame time jump.
Good anime has flashbacks.
Bad anime have time jumps.

[onlyelliot]

I agree time jumps are unlikely and would be dumb but some accelerated time progression would be nice.
I am very eager to see Naruto grow out of his scrawny little kid self and start to more resemble the 4th as a bonafied badass.
I guess he definately has started but i want him to get there a little faster.

gahh, speaking of a past that needs to be forgotten.....

how have YOU been, itachi_? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

This made my day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Good chapter btw.

[Kurapica]

What if Naruto begins to whoop Sasuke's ass and then Orochimaru steps in? Giving him more power with which Sasuke will get rid of Naruto for the time being. Sasuke would see why he needs Oro so much.

[Chiyo]

I think that more and more power in that way, he takes it, can ruin Sasuke, I think, if he release lv2 and he want more power, that that ends in pain!

[tuggumkee]

I think that this arc will result in sasuke coming back to leaf. I dont think there's any chance of sasuke just being gone w/ oro and no one caring. Also the fight wont be just like 2 chapters long. The longer the fight is, i think the better chance that Sasuke will change after

1. Sasuke is losing to naruto
2. Naruto keeps on getting up after getting beat, then gets in 1 lucky powerful shot

[Assertn]

lol, terracosmo, too bad itachi_ never seems to be around when people make fun of him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

i dont get why you people think that sasuke HAS to win this fight. he can still lose the fight AND return to orochimaru....you dont need a victory to be able to run away.
Even if he isnt strong enough to beat naruto, he'll know that he is stronger than before because of the 2nd seal, and he'll know that there's more where that came from in the sound village. Therefore even if he still cant beat naruto yet, then he still stands a better chance with oro than by himself or back in konoha.

for those saying there will never be a significant time jump.......then tell me how else we would ever see the genins reach jounin? You know its bound to happen sooner or later, if they're expected to kill itachi and maybe naruto even becoming hokage.
Pervert-Sennin Jiraiya, its true that the akatsuki might become a problem that prohibits a time jump....but dont forget: who's supposed to beat itachi? Sasuke. And how long will it take for sasuke to be strong enough to beat itachi? certainly at least a few years from now.

[jing]

There won't be a time jump. Why? Because they will not time jump while Itachi is on a mission after Naruto's Kyubi.

[Mut]

how can anyone think that naruto will bring back sasuke... if that happens, it'll be the biggest waste of like 3 months or however this arc was.

[Lenas]

More like a year.

[mprose]

I got a feeling that Sasuke is going to win this time and give Naruto a serious Ass-whooping. Haha As for the time jumps- I think people WANTS them more than they EXPECT them. I sure asll hell want them. I saw those pictures of what could be the Future Naruto and Future Sasuke and they rocked haha, It'd be awesome to see all that but god knows how much time it would take to get there... If it ever does go there, IDK.

[mprose]

And who says Naruto always has to win because he's trying to protect something or is fighting for someone. I need some more Sasuke bad-assity with some cool new techniques- Maybe something he copied that we don't know about.

[The Lord of Morning]

sasuke cant win cause. . naruto is the hero damnit!!!! the hero cant lose! ok yes he can and naruto loses all the time but still, not when it really mattered!

anyone think some third party (orochi or itachi) may show up and snatch one of the guys away, causing the other to chase after. you know if itachi showed up then sasuke would forget orochi and go after him.

who thinks we are going to see a flashback that hints at itachi being 'good' in a way? you guys really think he let sasuke live becaus eof guilt? i think he has some secret agenda that either he killed the uchiha or someone else did, this way at least his brother lived.

time jump would suck, although i can see time 'dilation' as someone put it. definatly a faster pace after this resolves, however that is.

[Knives122]

Get it throught your thick skull HERO'S CAN LOSE, and this one will and no one will show up because it just wont happen,
Itachi might of had a secret agenda and we might find out what it was on friday. And a time jump would not suck because more or less they will tell what happened in those lost years, and the protagonists of the story will be like 17(good guys that are like 12 arent very cool) and nobody wants to see Naruto stepping in dog crap anymore, because of the circumstances he will change(think of him as Jak from "Jak III" in the time jump) hell know what hell be doing and hell most likely have the resources to do it.

[CyberPunk]

i'm hoping itachi shows up and snatches naruto forcing sasuke to go all out and seek his vengeance right then and there. if sasuke activates the second level of his seal, he just might be able to take itachi if in fact he does gain those extra sharingan abilities.
