The Atatsuki Thread

[Konohamaru]

Itachi also means weasel so I don't think a fox would suit him [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

2 notes. First off the Nine tails has never used any fire attack period that we have seen just because the chakra is red doesn't mean its fire red is often simply associated with a evil aura. 2nd last I checked Itachi means skunk not weasle however this could be incorrect however I highly doubt it.

[Death BOO Z]

where did you get those elements? i don't recall any of them appearing in the manga, if anything, i would expect something oriental like: water, fire, earth, wood, metal... and throw into it yin & yand and holy/dark.
actually, i'm kinda biased towards the meanning of each ring, we have the Shanron special with all sorts of chinese gods...

[elmojo]

i never said those were facts, just guessing and predicting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] , i relate red to fire alot, so maybe that guess is right
too

i cant wait to see a blood limit like a magneto type character that can control metal, imagine the projectile power of that character

[Boreras]

i might be a bit late in adding this, but the third one with mangekyou sharingan (however you spell it), is obvious Kakashi, he has 3 dots, used it to stun that bitch in the lame movie. And i do think every Atatsuki wants a demon...

It's both skunk and weasel.

where did you see that? the only thing i could see kakashi was using was upgraded sharingan not mangekyou... what you said didnt prove that kakashi is the third person with mangekyou sharingan tough in manga it looked like it

[XanBcoo]

What's an "upgraded sharingan"?
I don't think Kakashi has mangekyou though. This is being discussed in teh Chapter 258 topic. Lot's of good points have been made...

I think its when you have the 3 dots in the pupil.

[elmojo]

can't deny that kakashi has a way cooler blade than itachi

yeah thats what i meant... sorry i didnt know how to say that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

if kisame DOES have a demon inside him, then that would mean deidara is probably getting gaara's demon soon.

which would actually be pretty cool to see.........
just imagine the fight where gaara calls up a giant tidal wave of sand to cover the landscape, except instead of desert requiem, deidara would put her hands down and explode EVERYTHING

[Shin_Naruto]

I hope Kisame does NOT have a demon inside him.
It would be retarded if some of the already strongest ninjas in the world got together, went through years of work, sealed a demon inside one of its members, and he gets owned by a retard who can open some gates.

[LobsterMagnet]

Aw how can you hate gai, just because he's more umm how should I put this, unique then some of the other ninja we've seen.

[Strider]

Roko: I guess you could associate Itachi with the Kyuubi because most people associate the color red (the fox's fur & chakra) with fire, which is the elemental choice of skills for the Uchiha Clan.

Personally, I'd love to see all the Akatsuki, as I believe everyone would, as well as some background information on them, how they formed up, how the new ninth member (Orochimaru's replacement) was decided upon and invited, etc.

At the moment, the only sensible reasons for the gathering of the members and search for the Bijyuu would be .. for them to imbue themselves with the Demons, or .. like somewhat said, surprise the living hell out of us all and destroy the demons.

Either way, with either one of those outcomes, it's going to mean tons of Akatsuki v. Akatsuki action .. 'cause if they want one for each of them, someone will be too ambitious, or not like their pick and have to kill the other member. If want to destroy the Demons .. someone will want one for themself at the idea of more power. It'll be interesting ..


// Strider. Out.

[Shin_Naruto]

I've kinda reneged on my 'Akatsuki wants to seal it in themselves' train of thought...

Itachi has never sought power... just challenges. Tests of strength.
Power is not what the Akatsuki lack.
Destruction is at their fingertips. They could obviously wreck countries at will w/ their combined power.
The summoned tool ripping Gaara to shreds atm must be building up to some kind of finale w/ all the demons have been 'whateverd' by it.


Its gotta be 'something else'

[Uchiha Barles]

I doubt the nine of the akatsuki could take any but the weakest of countries on their own. The sand, sure why not, that hidden village of water or whatever from that godawful naruto yearly special, I'll buy that. Konoha? Nope. And no village that's comparable to Konoha in power either. There's just not enough of them and such villages would contain too many highly skilled ninja. So collecting demons for the sake of amassing power (for whatever purpose) should still be a viable possibility.

[Shin_Naruto]

I disagree.
Orochimaru, a few lackies, and sand trash took out the Hokage and 'severly damaged' Konoha.
Jiriya was the only one we saw fighting the invasion @ a level high enough to fight ONE Akatsuki member (maybe Hyuuga... but thats not the point) If you get 9 of them running around a city I doubt much would be left. Jiriya only showed up because he knew it was comming. Its only 1.5 days travel from the cave they are hanging. I doubt Jiriya would find out about their movements and be able to make it there if he was even half a day away. Konoha also has all their ninjas 'out on missions' in other countries atm to appear strong... which means they are weak @ home right now. If they wanted to destroy Konoha (arguably the strongest country) they would try now.

I also think Kishimoto is a better writer then that and also why destruction is not in my top 5 'theories'

[Crows_Kill]

Anyone else notice the demon/statue they summoned beared a resemblance to the death god from the 3rds final jitsu? But with more eyes. Maybe they are trying to somehow apease the death god to raise one of theor own from the dead and need the power of the nine demons to do so. Maybe a fromer leader of Atsuki or some else that was sealed by the 4th's jitsu ( as he created it, the 3rd just used it). Might be more interesting that the whole take over the world plot.
And am I the only one who saw the similarity of the atsuki pose on the fingers of the statur to the pose of the apostles on the giant hand from beserk? Coincidence?

[LobsterMagnet]

Diadara nearly nuked the entire sand village with one blow and he/she (I still don't know what it's gender is) said that he/she came underprepared. Thats just one member. Honestly I do think that the Atsuki could easily take down a country. Even one like the leaf. Sand village is nothing to take lightly, it's one of the five major ninja powers in the naruto world so they shouldn't be taken lightly. The atsuki probably have all kinds of crazy skills they could probably easily take down one of the major ninja villages single handedly.
