Well a intresting thing.. In like Episode 2 or 3 when Kakashi have the Survival Traing Sasuke uses that Katon-jutsu and Kakashi is like, wtf a genin should not be able to preform that jutsu.. But i mean Kakashi has the sharingan probably because his great friendship with that Utchia-guy from his team.. And i mean when he got sharingan he should have researched about it to learn more.. Dont you think??

So there is so many resonds he should know that Sasuke should know that jutsu..

I guess it was made to make Sasuke seem like badass and Kakashi look even more badass when he beats him with ease..

But at least i think that Kakashi should have known that..


And about that Gaara part.. He would have owned that Sound-nin (dont have time to look up name).. I mean he did not even transform his body.. He only used his sandjutsus to beat himm.. I mean Gaara had som much more to in his arsenal..

Maybe that sound-nin also had more justus but that we will never know.. But we know for a fakt what Gaara have..


And for the dissing the chapter part.. Flashbacks are good.. I like the char-info you get so you know even more about the guys in the anime.. If you want to see fights and shit stop read the manga and start watching the anime only.. Because the flashbacks that take 3 weeks only take 1, max 2 episodes.. Or stop reading the manga for like 2-4 weeks and read them all att the same time..


And for the Itachis new Sharingan.. Its awsome.. Maybe he showed us that to build up Itachi more for a Itachi showdown in the nere future.. It must do something really cool.. Maybe for another Jiraiya vs. Itachi fight again.. This time both are rested and they will fight privetly so no one comes and interupt them..

And because Itachi closed his eyes when he used that black-flame jutsu (God of the Sun or something like that) and then we never saw when he opened them he may have to use that sharingan to use that jutsu..

Also in 222 i got the impression that Itachi said something like that he could not evolve or like the Sharingan could not evolve as long as he stay in the clan because the hold him back.. Or that was what he meant.. I could be wrong but that how i got it.. Probably thats why he killed the whole clan.. But also you saw that he cares about Sasuke to.. That is one think that was imortant with that..

But as i was saying Itachi probably is so stong because he did not follow the clan and did liek he wanted..

Maybe next episode will be another flash-back.. I would like that if it will be one that shows a little more about Itachi and his Sharingan.. And maybe it could show is a little more about What Itachi do for himself all the time..

I have a confession to make: I don't like these flashbacks.

now, before you all jump at me with 'go watch DBZ, you retarted fuck' or 'you are just an idiot and you don't know that flashbacks are what makes the fights so good!!', let me ask you something.

is it possible to critisize the latest manga chapters without hearing your dumbass comments?

seriously, everytime someone says he doesn't like the chapters, you all charge at him and write really annoying stuff like "then stop reading the manga if you don't like it"... like any of us will stop just becuase some retarted ass told him to...

anyway, the reason why i don't like the flashbacks is becuase they're totally out of place, they could have been shown while Sasuke was thinking about joining the sound, or while he was 'dead' in the bucket (which will make it parralrer to how it happened, before, everytime Sasukeg gets a curse seal, we'd learn a bit more about him). but not now.

honestly, the flashbacks hadn't shown anything new so far, they just empthized on the relationship that Sasuke and Itachi had, which is nice and stuff, but we knew it all already.

after six months of waiting, we've finally got to the point that Naruto fights Sasuke again, is it really the time for a flashback? is it really aporopiate to show Sasuke's past after he says 'I've just awoken from my silly dreams"?

the timing of this flashback just isn't right, it could've been done much better.

[Coolman]

Iunno. If we had a flashback while Sasuke was in the bucket, there would still be moaning. Just live with them. You can't tell me that you aren't interested in Itachi's crazy Sharigan.

so, go watch DBZ, you retarted fuck! j/k, had to do that.

[Lefty]

If we can survive a ten episode fight from DBZ I think we can all survive a five chapter flash back. It's not that bad. Also this might be a lead into the time jump Naruto might have been knocked unconcouse from Sasuke's attack. Doubt' it but still we need to wait and see it could bethe best fight we have seen yet, actually it better be for all the hell we've been through to get here, but still be patient.

LOL, yeah i remember those it would take like two weeks for a two minute fight

[Terracosmo]

The timing for this flashback could not have been better. If it came when Sasuke was arguing about whether or not to join the Sound, it would simply be a random insight in Sasuke's mind before deciding to do something we all knew he would do already. Coming like this, when his best friend has reached him, is the perfect build up. PLUS, it stays fresh in peoples' minds this way. If the flashback was when he was in the barrel, people would have forgotten half the flashback already. And if not, the suspense wouldn't be justified since it would just be stealing the spotlight from the other characters. This flashback is here and now because THIS is Sasuke's biggest moment in the entire series. And it's here, because his best friend is there to take part of it.

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.

... 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.

you should stop creating your own version of Naruto. One more thing, we aren't joking when we said you should re-read Naruto.

agreed
but it also serves the purpose of slowing down the pace... like the gaara flashbacks did. i got tired of all the fighting all and time and these flashbacks have picked up my interest. no longer does the clifhanger make me wonder how the good guys gonna come back, but instead it leaves me asking questions. thats a good feeling
i also wanted to note that something of extreme importance doesnt have to happen every issue. does every 20 pages of a book reveal and important issue? no ... its about the pacing...i can. wait 4 chapters for something really good to happen...its a lot better the piling it all together at once (ie. lee and the sound trio returning with in 2 weeks of one another)

off topic:
to the whole gaara thing... it doesnt matter if gaara had anything left up his sleeve...if kimimaro didnt die when he did both gaara and lee would have been dead...gaara says that himself

terra speaks the truth but i can't agree because of isaac's hair.

isaac reminds me of that blue haired girl from ikkitisousoesnaueasnn, especially when he had that eye patch. that porn anime has hoes fighting other hoes for no reason.

its just anxiety for whats to come
as much as i appreciate the flashbacks i admit im a little eager to move at a little quicker pace as well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

thats a good point TwisT, kakashi SHOULDNT be too surprised to see an uchiha perform katon.....
but then again im sure even uchiha genins usually dont master the move until they're older

[Uchiha Shisui]

Considering these are the last days of Uchiha, where and when did kakashi get his sharingan? Was it from the Uchiha, Shisui who "comited suicide"? Also, there is no way there will be a time jump in the naruto manga. What, will Akatsuki suddenly decide to stop looking for naruto for 3-4 years? Thats not happenin. The more likely event is that Itachi interupt the fight while naruto is at his strongest. Sasuke will see him lose any intention of fighting Naruto and Itachi versus Sasuke begins. Personally, just by the power that sasuke is showing without any change in seal level makes me thing Nauto has no chance to win this. Sasukes power appears to be on par with that of Kimimaru's, but Itachi's a different story. The next couple of chapters will be interesting to say the least. ^-^

[Noonan]

They could always have a Sherlock holmes moment - Sasuke and Naruto go over the falls and everyone thinks they are dead for a few years..

but i doubt it.

[jing]

Yes thats right, im more interested on kakashi's sharingan, i hope it gets revealed soon.

[Assertn]

that'd be great if in one of the frames you see kakashi being all sneaky-like and tip toeing into one of the houses in the background, and then coming out with his left eye covered....have it happen during some important stuff between sasuke and itachi, so that only readers with a keen eye will spot it

[Knives122]

seeing how its only on sasukes memory of the days before his clann got wiped out, I dont think they'll put that in there

[PSJ]

that would be very very funny but i doubt it will happen, how can people think of kakashis shraingan when naruto and sasuke is about to fight? i just dont get it. the flashbacks are great but one more is the absolute maximum then i would like some more fighting. i just hope this last flashback isnt a repeat one of when sasuke comes back to the dead uchihas.

[Legendary Nin]

I've enjoyed all of these chapters so far...This is going to hopefully lead up to one of the greatest chapters so far.224 should be that missing piece for the puzzle we've been trying to put together for all too long.

[hornetmike]

you guys are right. this is sasuke moment in his mind anyway to prove his worthiness as an uchiha. i could see why he doesn't like being on par with naruto. cause e thinks of naruto as an idiot and screw up. he wants to prove to himself that he's as much of a genius as his family was. this fight will be great. though i hope we don't have a redundant flashback where we know about the stuff already. cause that would be annoying.

[Baranthal]

Hrm, couple of thougths.

The katon that Sasuke did is not gennin level. If you remember during the first training mission that Kakashi did with Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, he commented that a genin should not be able to summon enough Chakra to perform that jutsu.

Kimimaro was stronger then Gaara. Pretty obvious to see that from the intent of the author. Now, you can make a case for the shukaku being stronger then Kimimaro. Shrug, yay for speculation. May as well ask if kimimaro could beat the nine tails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img].

As to the flashbacks... I love em to death. Give me character depth, give me a reason to care about why sasuke is leaving, give me any reason to view Sakura as something beyond a token love triangle character(I'd love to see an arc btw where Tsunade teaches Sakura to use her "inner sakura", and she starts kicking some ass, other then tsunade and possibly temari the famele characters are weak as hell)

My roommate who has only watched the TV stuff commented the other day that Sasuke's obsession is very illogical. I sort of agree with him in a way, as he keeps blaming himself for the death of the clan, but hell, he wasn't even in the area when the incident occured. He shows up after everyone is dead. Other then a really bad rationilization that he could have stopped Itachi somehow beforehand, I hope the next couple of weeks clears up why he keeps blaming himself.

Oh man, i can just picture it happening...

Frame one
Kakashi tiptoeing in a cartoonish manner
Frame two
Kakashi raising a kunai grinning broadly (as broad as a guy with a mask can)
Frame three
Kakashi legging it as fast as he can holding some guys head laughing evily.


Or not.
