hahha mut@t@ is in love with itachi lol, mayb u guys should get a room [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
But i am enjoying these flashbacks alot....it gives so much more depth to sasuke, emotionally towards sasuke i now feel alot of sympathy.
great! we are on topic now. i have this much to say: this chapter proves one thing, although people believe that sasuke is a genius that doesnt have to work hard he doesnt have the natural talent of his brother. instead he has to work hard for it. this is also something that we have seen often in sasukes character. the tree training, the fact that he spends most of his free time at home training and the training before the finals of the third part of the chuunin exam. once sasuke trains hard his talent is greater then what some expect. his gokakyuu no justu was at his fathers level (if not higher) after trainning. i think that itachi understands this and this is why we see his strange behavoir towards sasuke.
about the itachis sharingan. it seems that that itachi has reached a level of sharingan beyond the three dots that allows him to do something that we have yet to see. when i think of this i also remember that level two curse seal improved the abilities that kidoumaru and kimimaro used. imagine if sasuke could reach the level itachi is on...could the seal give him somethin beyond that?

the thing with sasuke's flashbacks involving itachi is that, we don't know if any of is true. itachi could've been genjutsu'ing sasuke everytime we've seen itachi activate his sharingan.
Actualy Mut@t@ has a few points, as much as I disklike sasuke, at this point his character has had significantly more of his background revealed, We know more about what naruto is doing, but we have no idea whom naruto really is. Sasuke at least is getting some character development, and his singular focus on itachi is being much better explained by the current storyline than it was previously.
Aside from that I have another concern - the anime has a few more episodes on the Tsunade storyline, and then the VERY brief hospital storyline which will pretty much just be Rock Lee and Guy doing flashbacks for 3 weeks in a row followed by Naruto and Sasuke's first little dust up. And then this story line will start.
So if the Anime catches up to the begining of the "Chase" storyline and we still don't know how it ends, do you think we should all go into the Anime forum and start a thread called "Manga readers unable to spoil, this darn story arc still isn't over" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
the anime will take a break or do another arc that dosen't appear in the manag just to pad it out so they can let the manag get ahead. But yeah we should start a thread like that pretty soon. But all in all we the manga reader's are in for an intresting ride.
Ah but you forget the animes plan to add a new character, therefore filler episodes might start happening after the current anime arc, so the manga should have time to finish the "Chase" arc before it starts up in the anime. Although, it makes you wonder just how many filler episodes they can come up with this character. It is a frightening thought indeed.Originally posted by: Noonan

Either way, I think the rest of the Naruto/Sasuke battle will be fairly short once the flashback ends. I'm guessing after a little more fighting, Sasuke will go to Lvl 2 and kick the crap out of Naruto and leave.
few more episodes? more like 15ish or so, i mean you have the whole week before the fight, two big ass tsunade flashbacks, and the fight itself is long as hellOriginally posted by: Noonan

Well I was exaggerating a bit - lets see,
Assuming - each episode covers 2 manga chapters on average, and that neither the manga or the anime takes any breaks for the next few months.
Anime Episode 90 ended with the end of chapter 158, (vol 18 of manga)
The Tsunade storyline - including the 3 Sannin fight goes all the way till the end of volume 19 (ch 171)
so about 14 chapters to cover (159 to 171 inclusive) or 7 episodes of anime
Then there is Volume 20 - Giant pile of flashbacks and character development at konohana + Naruto/Sasuke 1 - this is chapters 172 - 181 (inclusive) so 11 chapters or 5.5 anime episodes.
So the question really becomes, will the Naruto/Sasuke fight and flashbacks be over in the next 12 weeks?
Or will we be watching somebody elses flashback at that point and still going GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!!!!
LOL
all things considered, other than how much the 1 on 1 fights got stretched out in vol 22 and 23 this a been a good story arc - since this one has ended with us finally getting to see why sasuke is such a doink I hope the next story arc gives at least as much development to one of the other "Main" Characters.
Although that's entirely possible, Itachi has very little motive to do something like that. Why would an evil genius try to make himself look good in front of his brother? Not like we can say he loves him, because he kills his own family in front of him later.Originally posted by: Mut@t@

And if the anime catches up to the chase section before it's over, you could always pretend it's over and say something like "Yeah Sasuke kills Naruto and that's the end of the series." If enough people say it it might become believable [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Sasuke's a genius but no where his brother's level, because it took sasuke a quick time to learn the fire jutsu.
Mut@t@ does make an excellent point...but im not too sure if thats whats going on, although i wont rule it out as a possibility. noonan, what do you mean that we dont know anything about naruto. we know everything that we need to know. hes has noone and has been alone his whole life and we can pretty much assume how his life was like then. the only things that we dont know are things like who is family is, but that doesnt matter for the stories progression.

LOL, that might actually work, it would be cool for the story to revolve around someone else besides Naruto(maybe it can be Sakura(j/k))
R.I.P Captain America.
He lost because he was foolish enough to think he could beat someone while he was ill, its his own fault

True, but he served his purpose. Now Sasuke only has Naruto on him. If Kimmi didn't show up... Lee and Gaara would also be there.Originally posted by: Knives122

The Inane version said that once you learn katon you are considered an Adult.
it isnt a low level jutsu. its not chidori level but its more then what a normal genin knows. and being acknowledged as an adult doesnt mean you are elite, just that you are at least genin or chounin level.
I am sure anyone can do the fire jutsu, but uchiha specialize in it with many of their abilites i would guess.
probably not a jounin, but about genin level.
why does highbass keep on talking acting like he knows what he is talking about.
i just wanna clear something up just in case people were confused (but none of you should be).
the last jutsu kimimaro did (the one that brings up many spikes from the ground) is not any sort of suicidal jutsu or a SUPER jutsu. it was just one of the 5 dances he mastered.
first of all i think we are all reading the same shit... and if you read my shit more carefully i said that i think gaara is cooler/seemed cooler in that fight wasnt tring to force my opinion into anyone of your moronic heads.Originally posted by: Mut@t@

... second off about shaku (sp?) not being within gaara.. he isnt because gambuta said that shaku.. takes over a body of somone who is insominac... so if gaara isnt insomniac.. (seems like so because he isnt crazy anymore) then shaku isnt within him.
itachi said in chap 148 that, "until Tsukiyomi becomes Amaterasu, we should not use it." perhaps he was referring to the sharingan shown in the latest chapter. this may seems like a pure coincidence, but the sharingan that we usually see consists of 3 commas that surroud the pupil.... which also seems like 3 moons orbiting a planet. the change of sharingan shows a larger pupil minus the 3 dots, perhaps symbolizing the sun?
