Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[Platinum fan.]

I thought Madara was Kabuto's trump card. I couldn't imagine Kabuto having anything stronger than him. :x

And I think Sasuke would be able to handle Kabuto on his own; Kabuto may have the Edo Tensei, but Sasuke has the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and all its hax abilities.

Agreed. Sasuke's uber haxed Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan could probably spank Kabuto. I do think Kabuto would put up a decent fight though! Especially since he has Orochimaru's cells in him. I'm kinda surprised Kabuto has lasted this long in the series and yet I'm kinda not. He's always been a mysterious character that kept Naruto and crew guessing whenever they met him. I still prefer the old crafty Kabuto then clone Orochimaru Kabuto though, even if he is more powerful.

Keep in mind, Sasuke isn't as experienced with the Ultimate form of the Sharingan yet.

I'm sure there are still techniques he's yet to master.

Does anyone notice, every time he looks more and more like Orochimaru.....I think.

That's the point, I think. If this series last for a longer length of time (such as a timeskip), then Orochimaru will probably be reborn.

I liked the original Kabuto a lot more as well. He was mysterious and that's probably what appealed to me the most. I hope that when Kabuto fights Itachi, he uses more than just snake techniques, though. Also, I don't want Kabuto to morph into Orochimaru or anything; I've had enough of Orochimaru to last me a lifetime.

Besides snakes Kabuto only has medical ninjutsu. Other than that I wouldn't expect much.

Yeah prior to ingesting Orochimaru's remains, Kabuto was a 2 trick pony.

sleep powder Nirvana-feather Sleep no jutsu, and those chakra scalpels.

Better than Naruto with his KB. Now that is a 1 trick pony till Rasengan appeared. Now its both Rasengan + KB.

[Jb]

I have to say I prefered Kabuto more before, than now. Even if hi is stronger.

Since he absorbed some of Orochimaru's cells and mastered his powers, then perhaps he is able to use wind release techniques like Orochimaru. That would be interesting since we haven't seen too many wind users.

[Platinum fan.]

I always liked the fact that they were teasing Kabuto stabbing Orochimaru in the back at some point. It never actually happened but they sure teased it. In part 2 I actually thought Kabuto was going to play a large role in Orochimaru's demise and unveil what his real plans were. That didn't happen but oh well. I also hope Kabuto does not turn into Orochimaru. He practically is the new Orochimaru at this point anyway.

[JD]

I wonder if Tsunade is going to reveal a new technique in tomorrow's chapter I always wanted her to have some sort of special mode like Slug Mode or something but the thought of that is pretty disturbing.

[Charminions]

I would say Kabuto will do much more than just snake Justus if he fought now. Remember, Orochimaru was notorious for his intelligence and apparently Kabuto knows everything Orochimaru knows now so he will probably pull out a bunch of random top secret justus/scrolls or something.

That's what I want to see: lots of forbidden jutsu. Orochimaru apparently knew a ton of those, but he usually used snake-based techniques. It would be great if Kabuto used some of Orochimaru's best techniques, but Kishi will probably have Kabuto use Orochimaru's usual jutsu, or another Edo Tensei summon (which I still think is unlikely).

Kabuto also extracted via a chakra draining seal, the hidden Orochimaru chakra and the cursed seal, from Anko Mitarashi, when he claimed it would help him enhance his Edo Tensei jutsu/ability level with it.

Orochimaru was a wind release user?

[Durian Seed]

Orochimaru was a wind release user?

Wind release in the manga, which is the source material, of course.

The anime also has him using Earth release, but that was never canon/

[Earthbound Sun]

I don't see why Orochimaru's chalkra would enhance edo tensei; if the little amount in Anko would bring a significant increase, imagine how strong he must've been when he was alive. Nope.

Maybe Tsunade pulls a Choji and learns how to heal without handseals.

[TsukiMirage]

I was wondering about that, he said he had another trumph card, and suddenly said his trumph card was Madara. :S

Well the thing is, that he referred to his other trump card as a "technique" and that was after he had explained Edo Tensei to Tobi, so I doubt that Edo Madara was solely it. Edo Madara is simply his original trump card.

[lolipiece]

So, did anyone read the new Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth?

Naruto's, Naruto's everywhere.

577 summery. Hey, look Tsunade actually does something.
