    Ever seen that bad movie were some guy's hand becomes possesed by the devil and the hand kills people and gropes girls on its own? Maybe its happening the same thing to Naruto's left hand!! Maybe the left hand will take over and do something useful for a change!
    I've got one of those hands... usually gets me slapped. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

    Well, I'm hopeful that Sasuke becomes dragon-like, instead of being a big fat mallard. Hopefully, Naruto will somber up, along with being taken over by Kyuubi, and it'll have to be his friends that return him to the happy-happy land.

    god all these theories about an evil hand are uncalled for it was just simply a mentioning of him losing some strength in the hand he used to hit sasuke with showing that using that much chakra has its limitations just as sasukes form does, i mean if it was turning evil it would look different or have more kyuubi chakra around it, but instead when he says that the chakra aura dissipates from his hand.

    If anyone noticed, naruto did the rasengan with one hand. It means (I hope) he finally mastered it or the Kyubi chakra held it in to superconcentrate it. I think this is just another level to rasengan (or the full power of it) and not something new alltogether. Although, the kyubi chakra surrounding it will probably enhance it, but the center of the rasengan itself i predict is the next level (or final as said) of Rasengan.

    If these two techniques meet (which im sure they wont, kakashi is on his way and it looks like the end will be dramatic) itll just be another stalemate or Sasuke gets owned. Sasuke cant die yet in the story and im sure Kishimoto wont make it a stalemate. Expect kakashi to show up next chapter.

    EDIT : Oh, it appears it did land. Retract that, I think they will both get injured this time, Naruto moreso, and Kakashi will show up.

    Although the powered up chidori and rasengan were nice, this chapter is still bullshit. how dissappointing.

    somehow.. or someway naruto is going to lose to sasuke. i'm not a sasuke fanboy. but it's the only way the story can work out.. naruto will lose by a close margin and sasuke will win.. whether sasuke will kill him or not may depend on other external factors e.g the arrival of other genins or kakashi but i feel that naruto will lose only to allow sasuke to leave for orochimaru. then it will be the 1st time in the story that naruto actually fails to convert someone onto the good side.. naruto will then take the blame of sasuke leaving on himself, and he will want to train harder because he will indirectly feel responsible for sasuke leaving due to his inadequacy to stop him with his skills from leaving.. this may spice up the story even more i feel.. and sasuke leaving for orochimaru.. and naruto blaming himself.. it adds up to something which i believe most readers would want to see... just my view only.. yup.. ahha..

    Well, I have to say, after not having read a subbed version (except, possibly considering one our own forum-member's translations...), I was very impressed with this issue. Why? Simply because of the art. Typically, comic books / manga sucks. They're drawn quickly, with the art left out. We have a sushi place near me which is like that. It's all about taste; not the least bit about the art-form behind the sushi. That's what manga and comic books are about: giving you the taste without the presentation. This issue, to me, is the purest form of fanservice. It looked great, was light on story (which, is ... bleh), and had a beautifully drawn and poignant portion of a fight sequence. If you were Japanese, tell me the truth... you'd be buying the next issue, right? Well then, it worked.

    That is not going to happen. There's no way in hell its going to happen. This is because manga/anime is all about morals and character.
    In all good anime, the person protecting others is the strongest. The only thing that can happen is if the situation is altered, i.e. hostage, whatever. But in an all out bout, THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL he'll lose. i.e. Goku / sayans becoming or transforming only when there is need.

    Anime/Manga is all about how looking for strength, only to be strong, isn't the strongest. The strongest thing is to protect others. The only time Ippo from Hajime no Ippo lost, was when he fought Date Eji(sp), because Date was fighting to protect, while Ippo was fighting for strength alone. Also why Takumura never loses(ever notice his last name? mamoru, which means protect) its because he's protecting peoples' dreams.

    I'm guessing that Naruto is going to be standing after the explosion, with maybe a battered up as hell arm. Then Sasuke's going to question why naruto has so much power.

    But there's no way that the ideals of manga are going to dictate that the goal of doing anything for the power for revenge surpasses the goal of doing anything for the power to protect.

    RE: Official 232 Discussion!

    Simple. We are reading Shounen Jump.

    Now kids!! Whose the one with a better ethic, the one that takes up shortcuts and wants to kill people or the one that works hard and fights to protect his friends?
    Of course!! Friends are always better than killing people!!

    I realize that of coure Naruto should lose a few times, but in the end it comes down to the above said thing. Naruto has always been about the clash between two different set of morals (someone else's vs. Naruto's) and since it's a Shounen series the friendship one always wins. So even if Sasuke for some reason beats Naruto now but doesn't kill him, they'll face again, eventually, and Naruto will kick his ass.

    But it'd be repetitive. So I'm hopeful it'll end in two weeks more, three at most.

    I don't want to start up an old discussion here, but Sasuke is AGAIN pulling the Chidori alongside the wall. So I'm pretty confident it really is to increase his velocity.

    that would suck if naruto mastered it.......it would totally be an insult to the 4th hokage, im guess its just the concentration of kyubi's chakra

    ?igma: um, do you know why sasuke is pulling it along side the wall? because he is RUNNING on the wall. It's obviously not being pressed up against the surface like in the hotel, because you dont see a trail being carved into the rock
