Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[Joltik-Kid]

Well...this chapter was a full mixture of information and hax...Gotta say I'm quite pleased

[Charmed]

So Karin is from the Uzumaki clan. Not surprising. A lot of people thought she was, but it's nice to have confirmation. I thought Itachi and Sasuke's battle with Kabuto was strange, though. I guess I'm not used to seeing people struggle against Kabuto, so the whole Susanoo's-arrow-missing-its-target thing was weird. The thing that I hated was this newly-mentioned snake Sage Mode that Kabuto mastered; it's basically toad Sage Mode...

I haven't read this thing in over a year. Last I remember everyone was getting ready to face off against a horde of dead people. Anyone want to fill me in?

Oh hey, a movie's coming out.

.................................................. ....................Why the hell is Hinata's shirt open? And why is Ino wearing a conservative outfit? Hello, I think you drew the wrong outfits on the wrong characters, Kishimoto.

Whoa sexy Hinata and a Black Kyuubi. Hinata has that grin too, man Naruto should ask her out fast. The movie has my attention after the past few Shipudden movies has sucked. OMG did the 4th movie suck even with Minato.

Anyways wasn't Blood Prison the next Naruto movie? Not Road to ninja? Which is a pretty cool title IMO.

[Charmed]

I just noticed this week's colored cover page; I loved it. I laughed when I saw that Sai was drawing a sketch of the Kyuubi. It's too bad that we probably won't see the Kyuubi in Konoha like that; I have a feeling that he'll be captured and then eventually set free when Tobi's plan fails.

The only worthwhile thing to know is that the Alliance fought against the Edo summons without any named characters dying and have basically won, Naruto was allowed to join the war and eventually he reformed the Kyuubi and gained a major upgrade in power along with learning the names of all the other Bijuus causing Tobi to question himself, Kabuto revived the real Madara who basically acts like a Hashirama fanboy and is currently trolling the five Kages silly without even trying, Sasuke got EMS and murdered the real White Zetsu and as he was running found Itachi who was on his way to deal with Kabuto but when he arrived was forced to team up with Sasuke to fight while Kabuto showed quite a few cool new powers that are pretty much making him as hax as any Sharingan wielder.

[Charminions]

I thought this was a pretty good chapter. As expected, Kabuto pulled out a bunch of tricks out of his sleeve, so it was cool to see him incorporate skills from Sasuke's old teammates in their fight. It seems like Kabuto is just running around and hiding though, so it isn't much of a fight but alteast it was informational. Since there's Toad and Snake Sages, I'd assume there's a Slug Sage Mode.

[uber gon]

Wonder if the land of snakes is full of villainous characters? I'd like to think SOME snake characters might have been wary of working with Orochimaru and Kabuto.

[Durian Seed]

So Karin is from the Uzumaki clan.

Oh MAwww Godddddd~

Karin is basically like a cousin twice-removed or something. I hope Naruto is made aware of his relation to Karin, also, funny, Sasuke has always had an Uzumaki on his 'teams'.

Kabutomaru's Snake-Sage mode is broken sounding, I hope not though.

Seems they want him to be haxxed, what with and adopting not only Orochimaru's powers, but also Karin/Juugo/and Suigetsu's ability.

[Shneak]

- Aw, look at that front-page spread. Nevermind the impossible perspective, it's nice to see Konoha rebuilt.
- Snakes can sense your existence... no kidding, they aren't blind. Does he mean that they're using genjutsu but the snakes are preventing it?
- DR. SNAKES, new name Sasuke.
- When did they get in a cave with stalactites and stalagmites?
- *daintily takes off hood*
- Turning into bodily fluid is nice. Without the electrical weakness of a Houzuki.
- Woman of the Uzumaki clan? When did he get to Kushina?
- KARIN IS AN UZUMAKI!?! WHY IS THIS SO EXCITING TO ME?
- I'm guessing the Shikkotsurin is the slug place?
- That white snake is a pimp.
- A Sage?! A Snake Sage? Wow.

Interesting chapter. It was mostly take, but we learned a lot, and it set up the rest. I guess this means that Tsunade could have Sage powers too...

Also, not much time passed between Orochimaru's death and the present. How did Kabuto change so fast?

Point 1, body fluids still have electrolytes, which conduct electricity, so not to sure if he evaded that disadvantage.

Point 2, by the power of plot hax no jutsu.

I suppose. I guess he forgot to wear his rubber gloves.

To have 1 or 2 new abilities/hax would have been fine.

But no, Kabutomaru has 4 new abilities, powers, what were you thinking Kishimoto-sensei?

[Profesco]

I only just started reading the chapter, and I immediately thought of the folks/conversations in this thread when Kabuto pulled his hood down. We're all talking about what amazing secret post-Orochimaru strategy Kabuto had to defeat the Uchiha's sharingan genjutsu, and then the first thing in the chapter we see Kabuto just pull his hood over his eyes. I can't even measure the size of the grin on my face, but it was so amusing that I'm typing it here before I even read further. XD

One has to wonder, just how effective is lowering your hoodie???

Surely the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan cannot be foiled by a hoodie? no?

[Charmed]

I hope not; I'm getting tired of Sage jutsu. Pain did mention that each Sannin had a powerful ability, but I hope he was referring to Tsunade's Byakugō jutsu and not "Slug Mode."

[Iota]

Thing is, she is called the Slug Princess...it'd make sense, or at least now that Snake Sage has been revealed, it'd make sense.

I for one love that there is a snake version, and I love that Karin is an Uzumaki. Hopefully with an extra one running around, we can discover something new about them. Or perhaps Karin can show some sort of Fuinjutsu, since the Uzumaki's were supposed to be famed for that.

Well now we'll never know. He came out of that snake's mouth with his eyes uncovered and wide open, so he's not using hoodie-no-jutsu anymore.

Not me. If Jiraiya could have sage-y mode-y stuff, and Kabuto can refine/improve Orochimaru's work into a type of sage mode, then Tsunade should be showered with sage love too. I would love to see Tsunade pull out a sage mode and use it to gain the upper hand against Edo Madara.

Genjutsu requires eye contact; even Tsukuyomi did. Only one that didn't was Shisui's Koto-something, and that could only be used once a decade/day. So hoodie-no-jutsu works just as well as anything else.

And I quite liked this chapter; least it wont be a total roflstomp on the Uchiha's part.

[Platinum fan.]

I'm late to the party, really late. Can't be helped I was busy all day. After seeing this new chapter and Kabuto's Snake Sage Mode I was like "whoa!" I mean there have been plenty jokes about Snake and Slug mode but wow, there really is a snake version of Sage Mode and Kabuto got it! Wow. Good chapter and Karin being a Uzumaki doesn't surprise me, not because she has red hair but because anyone who gets zapped in the chest by Sasuke and lives must have a strong lifeforce. I wonder if Sasori and Gaara have Uzumaki blood in them? Anyway it just makes Karin cooler IMO. Be fun to have a chapter of her and Naruto just chatting about Uzumaki stuff XD but anyway Kabuto's Snake Mode has got me interested in this fight. I wonder if it operates like Naruto's Sage Mode? And here I thought Sage Modes were done with.
