Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[BattleFranky~40]

The new chapter was totally boring. Nothing actually happen until the end.

The new chapter was totally boring. Nothing actually happen until the end.

Okay, that's true. However, the ending looks like its the beginning of another of Naruto's well known side character's awesome fights with character development and a cherry on top.

[absol attacker]

oh....i wanted to see Hidan and Kakuzu fight someone else this time.

[BattleFranky~40]

oh....i wanted to see Hidan and Kakuzu fight someone else this time.

Who else did you want to see? Team 8?

This is a fight, not a bloody massacre.

[EmberStar the Blaziken]

Ino looks like she has a half-usefull jutsu!

[absol attacker]

so does this mean there's ninja birds too?

[deoxys_attack_mode]

No, its just the same jutsu she used on Sakura in teh Cheunnin exams. This chapter shows its origianal purpose. Although, ninja birds are one of the only obvious animals we haven't seen in Summoning.

[absol attacker]

i meant like if Ino needs a host with a chakra system, then that bird would have to have had one.

[deoxys_attack_mode]

If I'm not mistaken, all animal organisms (including humans) are believed to posses chakra. There are plenty of people who believe it exists, though I personally think it just makes for good fiction.

[uber gon]

Well, maybe Naruto could summon Gamabunta to fight against Akatsuki. Other than that, maybe Naruto develops a wind-based chidori at some point. Maybe Naruto develops a hurricane based attack.

Naruto, learn Chidori?

Do you want Part II to suck more than it already does?

Using Hidan, he attacks Kakuzu. But Kakuzu had released his right arm to the ground and

Escapes from the Kagemane.

Shikamaru continues to use Hidan to attack Kakuzu.

Kakuzu receives Chouji's attack too, but hardens his body for protection.

This is Kakuzu's power. "No physical attack works against me."

However, immediately after, Kakashi stabs Kakuzu through the heart with Raikiri.

???????????????????????
"Can't be... From behind me without even a presence..."
?????????????????*???????????????
"You managed to see through the speed of my "in"... And to create a Raiton (Lightning) of this degree..."

"So that's it! You're..."

Ends with an up of Kakashi

Supplement to above

Secne changes, Yamato and Naurto training.
?????????????????????
Yamato explains about the measurements (greater/less) of the five major elemental manipulations.
????????????????????????
The measurements are Water->Fire->Wind->Lightning->Earth->Water
????????????*????????????*??
Kakashi saw through Kakuzu's hardening jutsu to be Doton (Earth) from the "in" made.
??????
(With Lightning->Earth)

?”?”?”?”??????????????????*?
"'Earth' is weak against 'Lightning.' You got unlucky in your opponent. It's the end."

Highlights is that Kakashi uses his signature assassin move again finally. Shikamaru seems to show major cool awesomeness this chapter as well.Also explains some element manipulations. Some don't make sense.
Earth beats water?Lightning beats earth? WTH? Really doesn't make sense especially from the Pokemon type point of view. Even logically it doesn't make sense.
 

[absol attacker]

nature chakra i could deal with, but now they have pokemon-esque strength and weakness sets? whatever happened to old fashioned ***-kicking without every jutsu being elemented?

dirt absorbs water and contains it in landforms more easilly than water erodes earth. that's the best i can think of. either way, chapter 334 is either going to be really good or really bad. i'd REALLY hate to see Kakuzu die, causing his threads to vanish and make Hidan's head fall off again. but considering Kakuzu's awesome body modifications, i doubt it'll happen.

[Fullmetal_Alchemist]

I seriously doubt either Hidan or Kakuzu will die until Team 7 show up. What better way to show how uber Naruto's new jutsu than to have him own one or two members of Akatsuki?

About the elements, I guess it could be that lightning can split rock and earth absorbs water.

[deoxys_attack_mode]

I like the new elemental system. Nice and simple.

[BattleFranky~40]

I like the new elemental system. Nice and simple.

Other than the fact that it SHOULD have been implemented if it was going to be made about 200 chapters ago, but other than that, yeah, it's passable.

And Kakuzu isn't dead. Whenever somebody says it's over, you know it's definatly not.

[Knight_Ram]

Hey! Im just wondering, You know when Asuma died! :'(! Did Shikamaru take up smoking? Im just wondering...

[absol attacker]

no, that's a lollypop he always has in his mouth .

[Erus Black Mage]

Hey! Im just wondering, You know when Asuma died! :'(! Did Shikamaru take up smoking? Im just wondering...

No, It is a cherry Tootsie pop, he is trying to see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

(BTW, He stole it from Sanji)

[Xylitol]

Hi there, new to this thread. I've watched Naruto part 1 as anime episodes, skipped the fillers, and now I've read the manga chapters of part 2.

To comment on the current happenings, I think the elemental system is a bit bland. It wasn't really needed, other than killing Kakuzu off :P Naruto is constantly turning Kyuubi, and needs to be watched over. Orochimaru isn't being the main villain at the moment, though he deserves to be(not that there's anything bad about Akatsuki)
