Naruto Manga chapter 380 – That Face
Post Author: Bob
This chapter preludes to some of the best fights we’ll see in Naruto. First up is Jiraiya vs. the Six Paths of Pain gang. Next is the fight between the 8-man squad of Konoha vs. TOM (Tobi/Obito/Madara). On the sidelines, we also have Suigetsu going against the man he has been seeking all this time: Kisame – you know this is going to be a real brawl of a fight. And lastly, the fight that Sasuke has been savoring since the beginning of the series… the battle between the Uchiha brothers: Sasuke vs Itachi!
Jiraiya faces the six bodies of Pein and immediately recognizes the “first” one as that belonging to an adult Yahiko (confirming the theory that several peeps had 
). But strangely, none of the other bodies bare any resemblance to the Nagato whom Jiraiya remembers. He was sure that it was only Nagato who had the Rinnegan — so how is it possible for Yahiko to possess it? Pein (Nagato) shows surprise that Jiraiya actually remembers Yahiko’s face after all these years but confirms that Yahiko is indeed dead. He refers to himself as Pein and as “god”, then all six of his team attack Jiraiya.
Six guys against a one armed hermit, that’s not really fair is it? What’s Jiraiya going to do now? The scene with Tsunade also has me worried. The rain foreshadows something bad… and it is an omen in Pein’s favor as he is from the Rain village. Also, even though Tsunade shows a bright smile to Shizune, you know she’s really concerned deep down. Even though she says it jokingly, Tsunade does say that “Jiraiya won’t come back.” I think maybe this time, she may actually win the bet.
On another front, Sasuke’s team is confronted by Kisame who relays to Sasuke that Itachi only wants to meet him alone. Sasuke thinks this is perfect as he planned on fighting Itachi by himself anyways. Karin voices her concern, but Suigetsu could care less because he has finally found the man (or maybe the sword) he has been searching for. He and Kisame agree to have “a little fun” for old time’s sake, but I can see this leading to full out carnage and mayhem.
Sasuke enters the Itachi hideout, which looks like a large complex built into the inside of a hill. Deep inside he confronts his brother Itachi, who is seated casually in a throne like chair. Now this picture below set off light bulbs in my head almost immediately:
Why?? Look at the drape behind Itachi’s throne. See that there are nine spiral tomoes surrounding a kanji character in the center. That kanji character means “fox.” Hmmm… Nine tomoes surrounding a fox character…. ring any bells yet? If this doesn’t connect the Uchiha clan to Kyuubi, I don’t know what does. Now it is officially highly possible that the true purpose of the Uchiha clan relates to the Kyuubi. Also, from the state of the wall surrounding the throne, it looks like a big battle took place here. Just what happened? And did it occur before or after the Uchiha massacre? Finally, what does Itachi mean when he cryptically asks Sasuke “what do you see with your Sharingan?”
Lastly, Naruto and the eight man team are suddenly confronted by TOM. Although he makes it seem like bad fortune on his part, it’s very likely that TOM arranged for this encounter all along. If he is indeed the mastermind of Akatsuki, then TOM probably doesn’t do anything without purpose. Naruto uses a shadow clone to sneak attack with a Rasengan, but it goes straight through his body. There’s something not right about his body… a similar event occurred when Sasuke attempted to cut TOM down with his sword. It certainly isn’t an ability Obito had if it is really his body, but it has similarities to the immortal like abilities of the bodies which Pein uses. It makes me wonder if maybe Pein isn’t the one who has the ability to animate bodies like that – rather it is Madara who has provided him with that power. Maybe it was Madara who had corrupted a vulnerable Nagato and made him into what he is today…. but that’s a theory I’ll save for another day 
FIRST! YEAH!
NOO! I wasn’t 1st Now I won’t get 3 in a row.
BUt the thoeries about TOM don’t add up, because then Tobi would’ve been an Akatsuki member all along & wouldn’t be dragging his feet after Zetsu.
The blog’s magnificent as always, Bob!
All you Nartards can expect a blog from me & Scrubby in a few days, too.
wow bob.
This is gettin reli interestin here
well cnt wait till the new chapter comes out
but it sure takes ages
lik 1 chapter = 1 week
how the hell that works?
ill be 95 yrs wen i get to read the last chapter hehe jkz
after readin this chapter my impression of itachi has differed. i was starting to believe he could actually pull it off and become good in the end but i dont think so anymore. i think hes gunna try and convince sasuke to help get naruto.
o man now i really want the next chapter to come out so much began to happen this time!!
naruto gets more and more exciting!!!i hope they’ll start releasing naruto manga everyday starting tomorrow..wuhu..
This was really a good chapter.But i am worried about jiraira,i stil think he is gonna survive but i dont know how.Six against one with only one arm.And TOM, he is really weird i dont know of they can actually kill him.I think everything is gonna turn out verry different the i first thougt,like always.
Just had a thought:
What if TOM as we have come to call him is two different people!! Not dual personalities as it may seem. What if one is Madara and the other is Obito?
Don’t really know if this makes sense but gonna throw it out there anyway.
You mean like his left side could be Obito & right side Madara? That’d be f’d up. But I don’t think that’s it, ’cause then he’d be something like Zetsu & Kisshimoto doesn’t like to make 2 people with the same characteristics (usually).
I am at a lost of words… So much in one manga! I don’t even want to guess what will happen next…
exactly so Shino – its just too exciting now. However – since the story was split up – my guess is Jiraiya’s battle is over.
Well with Sasuke and Itachi is just as i thought Itachi plan is not to fight Sasuke but to possibly show him how to attain different levels of his Sharingan and Bob u have good observation in detecting the meaning on the wall behind Itachi referring to possibly to the kyuubi and his connection to the Uchiha clan. And just a thought maybe the kyuubi is the reason why Itachi and Madara (or the TOM thing everyone here reffers to) is part of Akatsuki to take it from Naruto and put it inside Sasuke or them.
i think the way Tsunade is talking she knows something, she is obviously concerned but hmmm just got a weird feeling. I agree with the nine tailed – sharingan link, i mean only Sasuke or someone with a sharingan can see Kyuubi so there has to be something big going on there. CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK!!
Temari its seems like Tsunde is going to marry J-man if he returns huh? or give him some coody-cat in a proper way of saying it huh?
ZOMG! We totally forgot about ‘Shannaro!!!’s first birthday 3 days ago! … So… Happy B-day !
OMG How did we forget?!?! D8 Crap!!!
wow bob you are amazing at making all these blogs. one thing that bugs me what going to happen to jariaya? and tsunade is like super worried about jariaya. and finally back to the sasuke/itachi part
hi
do u remember when obito was squashed by the big rock and he lost all feel in his body. I think that tom is obito. he survived the big rock but lost all feeling in his body. i guess he unlocked another sharigan power that itachi and sasuke havent unlocked yet
Hey, Bob you promised us cake for the site’s birthday a few months ago. Will you give us some? Pweaaaseee. (party)
i think that itachi may be the leader because how he munipulates people and stuff and how he is a feared member of the groupe maybe everybody dose not know exept for kisamiae he parter and he is keeping it under raps until the right time
Imagine this scenario: Obito is crushed under a rovk in Grass country… Zetsu finds him , brings him to Pein. Pein revives Obito (if Obito even died). Obito swears his alligance to Pein & misteriously obtains a Sharingan of Madara’s level. Maybe Pein trained him or resurrected Madara into Obito’s body. But again comes the dylema of why wasn’t Tobi a member of Akatsuki until Sasori’s death?
well i cant come up with theories as good as u all but this is still soooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!
hey sharingan r u new because ive never seen you leave a comment anyway if you are welcome
“Zetsu finds him , brings him to Pein.” Good theory, but methinks Zetsu would probably eat him… ^__^;; How’s this: Pein makes a deal with the immortal soul of Madara Uchiha. Pein gets to destroy the world if Madara gets to rule what’s left. Obito gets smashed. He’s found by some random member of the Akatsuki (one might hope it’s Kakuzu, since he can put beople back together), Obito’s brought to the Akatsuki where Madara takes Obioto’s body. Thus Tobi is bipolar, since he’s jumping back and forth between his Obito personallity and Madara’s crazy time. o_O;; That’s a lot. . .
Wow, no other way of saying it
when is the itachi/sasuke thing goin to come out? im dying to read it.
Well, Paul the manga comes out every week, once a week. And since there’re so many battles, I’d say we’ll find out more about the Uchihas troughout the next month or so. So don’t be so hasty (unless you want to).
how can you guys get here so fast
Different time-zones? West-coasters are on later! ^__^
also the nine spiral tomoes look like the spirals in the Sharingan
Not only that, but I sleep even less than Gaara.
sasuke going to kill itachi and after when itachi is almost dead, hes probably going to tell sasuke the secret behind the uchiha clan or maybe he didnt want to tell sasuke the truth when he was lit, im thinking itachi was trying to protect sasuke
TOM might have the power to accually take on all 8 of the leaf ninjas
jiraiya going to die and i think thats going to lead up to all of the 8 leaf ninja to face all of the six pein
wait i think i know what itachi finally talking about, hes asking what do sasuke see and he see itachi is going to die and all along itachi wanted him to have enough hatred maybe to prepare sasuke to be the stongest of the uchiha to take on TOM………
I have a feeling that TOM’s gonna capture Naruto and injur a few members of his team.
in the first series itachi did say only an uchiha can kill another uchiha, thats why itachi wanted to force sasuke to becoming stronger in order for him to kill TOM
NSS7 how is Sasuke going to beat Itachi and he can’t even use his MS yet Itachi was the leader of the Ambu black-ops at 13 i think so he got way more skill in fighting than Sasuke do right now i think it’s going to be a teaching lession about what really happen and why it was all done
itachi is in a weak state with his eyes going blind
wow so many comments in like 1 hour
remember in the first series, itachi said only a sharingan user and have the blood can kill him and then kakshi said that sasuke is the one
ya but itachi isnt stupid, he knows when not to make his move (like when he ran off from jiraiya). i dont think he would have had this 1v1 meeting happen if he thought he was gunna loose
he has a really good perception of other peoples abbilities
yo, its crazy but is it possible that naruto finishes like in 5-8 mangas? Look at it in the worst case – jiraiya dies, tsunade comes to save him and dies, the rest of akatsuki, snake and leaf ninja are killed or heavily injured. The only ones left are sasuke, naruto, kyuubi and lets say either tom or pein. then in the end after fighting tom or pein sasuke dies and naruto is left with some bad ass powers developed through the fights (gets carried home by like Gaara or smth.) – becomes the next hokage. Damn, this could end fast!?
It could & i think it probably will end in a similar way, but in at least 25 more chappies.
TOM not being seen as the leader of Akatsuki but leading from behind the scenes is a smart move. It protects him. It makes it so if any of the Akatsuki members want to take over they attack Pein and not TOM.
Also, BOB, I couldn’t pick out the “9″ tomes. Do you think you could post a picture with them circles or something??
YES MY AVATAR FINALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 9 tomoes are the 2 on each side of Itachi’s head & 7 more behind his throne. On this pic you can only see the tips of 3 of them. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff6/velidog/naruto380-4.jpg
i think i know what they should do , he directer should end the manga with a mystery and make a movie to rap it all up……… that would be awsome
Yep. They do that a lot these these days, so I wouldn’t be surprised. But then, we’d have to wait for 6 OR MORE MONTHS to see it after its creation. I ‘d go nuts!
i mean its a great idea like when the fullmetal alchemist show ended with a boring ending with hardly solving anything, i was disapointed but a movie came out and was excited, and when i watch the movie it was the best
But would you wait for 6 to 8 months like we’re forced to do now with the Shippuuden Movie 1?
i mean the graphics would be way better then the show sooo yes it is a good idea
but i been wondering what part are the 9 tomos going to play in the story?
9 tomoes = 3 sharingan eyes – no idea.
But you might have noticed how a fox’s tail is curled and looks like a tomoe. So 9 tomoes = 9 tails? They suggested it with the word fox in the middle anyway.
See when i first saw the pic i counted eight tomoes and thought that maybe a Sharingan user could attain 4 per eye or something . But the 2 behind Itachi are backwards tomoes what the meaning fo them i have no idea either.
The tomoes that are around the fox kanji are actually 8, not 7 as I counted before . The throne has been positioned in such a way that the fox kanji is both in the center of the 8 tomoes & is where the 3rd smaller tomoe should be. In my oppinion this symbolises that the sharingan is incomplete without the Kyuubi.
Scrubby – I think Tsunade is definitely going to stop rejecting Jiraiya *if* he comes back.
I just don’t know how he’s going to fight against 6 seemingly indestructible reanimated corpses.
It also appears that the Uchihas know a lot about the Kyuubi… A lot more than Jiraiya, that’s for sure.
This makes Ero-Sennin a more dispensible character, i.e. the story can go on without him.
I hope he doesn’t get killed off, because he’s a great character, but things don’t look very optimistic for him.
J-sama u could be right bout the Sharingan being incomplete without the kyuubi because both use fire as there element and the kyuubi does know of Madara.
Lovething i think Jariaya will return to the Leaf village but not without serious injuries though.
ZOMG! I forgot the site’s birthday too and I’m the owner!!!

Cake! (BTW, found the pic, didn’t make it
Party!

Games!
http://www.narutohurricane.com/manga_pics/Naruto_380_pg18.jpg
Ooo … I especially liked the game! it’s my favourite. Naked women! Yay!
Hmm.. I wonder how that last on got there?
i think the fight betwwen kisame and sai brother would be interrupted by the the other member with the curse mark. sasuke shouldnt leave him alone, hes dangerous
Sasuke and Itachi both have evil shark boys they have babysit. Who knows what the results will be. o-o! But it will be awesome.
im thinking my theory on naruto getting a sharingan eye some how is more and more probable now. i mean he already has the kyuubi and he knows all sharingan users except TOM which he is meeting now. im thinking that they are going to try and extract the kyuubi but naruto is going to wake up and end up using like level 5 version of the kyuubi power.
wait how about itachi joining team hebi and then they all fight naruto group, now that would be awsome
is it to dumb to say maybe by some chance in miracle naruto has uchiha blood. maybe.
if j-sama dies whats going to happen to naruto cause that is his teacher and kakashi already said naruto surpassed him.
so here goes, j-sama lives takes naruto to toad mountain. naruto gets super intensive training then comes back to beat ass lol
i think itachi going to join sasuke group and then when naruto and the others get to sasuke, it would be a big fight
i dont think sasuke will take itachis help. even if they make ammends i think sasuke will still loath him. maybe itachi will sacrifice himself to save his brother.
i mean it makes sense because when naruto group gets to him they dont stand a chance so i think sasuke will join itachi side
The only way Sasuke would “forgive” Itachi is if Itachi didn’t really kill the clan but Akatsuki did and Itachi saved Sasuke and gave him a reason to get stronger like the blog before eluded to. Even in this scenario, I don’t think Sasuke could ever overcome his hate for Itachi seeing as it has been his motivation to live and succeed in life.
On another note, why the hell did Tobi tell Pein to go and get Naruto if he was going to run into them anyways?
Also, you know how Zetsu kind of morphs out of trees almost everytime we see him, that kind of reminds me of how attacks morph through Tobi’s body when he is attacked. Maybe that is some sort of grass village jutsu or bloodline ability that Tobi learned from Zetsu using the Sharingan??
I think the fight between Kisame and Suigetsu is gonna be one of the best ever in Naruto. It is the first fight we will see between two members of the “Eight Swordsmen of the Mist” (even though Suigetsu is more of an honorary memeber cause of his brother). It is not only a test of Kisame and Suigetsu’s skills as ninjas but also a battle between the two swords which might have special abilities all on their own seeing as they have names and such.
Bottom line I am uber pumped about all that is going on and it sucks that I am starting finals right now cause Naruto is all I can think about.
hahaha…yea school is being jepordized. i actually wrote naruto as an answer by accident. it was hilarious when i got the exam back lol.
That morphing ability of Zetsu’s is likely to be a Kekkai Genkai, so the sharingan cannot copy it. As for why Tobi didn’t join until after Sasori died, I would guess it’s because nobody in Akatsuki had been killed yet since its birth, and Madara hadn’t found a suitable Uchiha host for his soul to inhabit until after the formation of the group. Either that or the preperation for the soul transfer had not yet taken place.
About Kisame,
on page 9 he talks about not wanting to have to do another battle. After looking at some of the blog entries quickly, I think the last time he battled was against the 4 tails old man. I would imagine that a little time passed because Sasuke got really hurt against Deidara and was able to pull it together to go find itachi… So when he says “not another battle” what was the first battle he was refering to?
And in chapter 353, Pein seems worried about Sasuke ruining their plans… he doesn’t seem to be a part of the plans. Maybe all these great theories about Itachi being a pawn and being used are just that, theories. It seems like Ithachi, Tobi, and Pein are the real villians. Itachi seems like he’s sitting on a throne and Kisame always seems like he’s taking orders from Itachi.
And about the rain and leaving Jiraiya… I think he’s dead. Whenever unfortune is coming Tsunade wins her bets… So I think that’s the last we’ll see of Jiraiya. I think the rain came like the death of the 3rd and I think Kishimoto will leave it up to interpretation.
Kisame is going to crush this snake gang. This is because it makes room once again for Naruto and his crew to take their place as Sasuke’s friends.
Orochimaru could also morph into trees couldn’t he? He did it on his introduction when meeting Sasuke during the Chunine exams.
When Naruto hit Tobi with the Rasengan, he may have been affected by the sharingan already… Maybe Tobi is a ghost,
This is off topic, but I think Jiraiya made it to the village in the rain so fast because he can do some sort of “teleport” to the location of a frog… kinda like a frog summoning him. That’s why he pulled himself out of the frog.
Tobi making it infront of Naruto’s team… well maybe he’s a ghost… But there’s something weird…
Doesn’t strike you as odd on page 12 when Tobi appears there’s weird slashy lighting things in every picture he is in? I know it may be how Kishimoto draws… but… I wonder if he already has them under the sharingan’s control. ANNNNDD
THIS IS PERFECT! HE’s definitely going to reveal himself if he is Obito to Kakashi.
Could it be that Tobi’s body isn’t actually real.. I mean he survived a cut through the torso, a huge explosion, and the rasengan went right through him. Maybe he has an ethereal body. So I’m guessing that Pein is Yahiko. When he said that Yahiko is dead, it’s probably a figure of speech, like he’s dead inside.
Maybe Yahiko taught Orochimaru the body taking over jutsu and he took Nagato’s body. Just a thought
i think that tobi is invinsible he probably learned some really cool jutsu from someone thats why he never gets hurt from the sword and the rasengan
………. what if the more tailed beast they get the more Tobi comes alive… Because someone said how he wasn’t around in the beginning and it didn’t make sense if he was the leader.
but how would tobi become more powerful with the more tailed beasts they capture
maybe that’s why the “fox” and tomoes are at the uchiha hideout. They’re linked somehow. I’m just speculating at this point and trying to figure out why it would be the way it is.
Why did Tobi suddenly appear… Both in Akatsuki and infront of Naruto and his team?
i still dont get it but i guess we just have wait and see what happens in the next chapter and blog discussion and i agree with u its just so random how tobi just appeared in front of team naruto?
wow! this didscussion is getting so interesting!
i don’t think so!
franzes, would you care to elaborate?
and does anyone have any thoughts on Kisame from before? what fight was he talking about?
kisame doesnt have a chance in going against team hebi
ahh…. new avatar siskin! probably siugetsu will probably either be killed by kisame or he will kill kisame i think its a 50 50 chance
but what was the last battle for him? he talks about not wanting to fight another battle or something eluding to the fact that he had just been in a fight recently… which may have been the 4 tails… but was their another battle?
and the new picture is because if Tobi is Obito, he’s going to reveal it to Kakashi pretty soon… I was going to follow suit with J-sama and find a picture of someone that was the live-action version of Kakashi… but I think this picture has more meaning.
really zabuzas sword vs kisames just saynig kisames is better and even if suigetsu wins kisames sword can only be held by kisame.
well cool new picture
Thanks, I cropped it myself,
But on page 9 Kisame talks about not wanting to battle because he was coming from another battle? I was just wondering who the other battle was with?
Maybe he defeated the other tailed beast and now there’s nothing stopping them from getting the Kyuubi, which would make sense because Pein was given the task of getting the Kyuubi from naruto.
This would make sense if Jiraiya was defeated then Naruto would have to battle the guy that beat his pseudo-grandpa.
In my refering to previous blogs I was reminded of an illusion to Jugo being like Android 16 from Dragon Ball Z when he was talking to the birds. This makes me think Jugo will step in on Suigetsu’s fight… actually they really form a team similar to the Androids from Dragon Ball… this makes me think Kishimoto will only save Karen because the girl Android stuck around and fell inlove with krillin. Enough Dragon Ball Z though… I’m reallly curious who Kisame fought before this battle with Suigetsu. If it was the other tailed beast, Suigetsu may have a chance because Kisame may be running low on chakra.
i knew there was still one tailed beast left! but remember siskin kisame has the most chakra of all the akatsuki so he still might be able to beat suigetsu with using much of his chakra.
i have no clue
without using much of his chakra. sorry i messed up on my last line
what do u meen u have no clue? u dont no that kisame has the most chakra out of the akasuki.
i dont think kisame has the most chakra out of the whole akatski
well i remember from a chapter that it said he had the most. ill tell u what chapter it is, hold on ill say it in a few minutes just let me find it.
read chapter 255 on the website it says he has the most chakra of the whole akatsuki.
I don’t ever remember them mentioning it in the manga… but that doesn’t mean much because I tend to forget.
The two tailed beasts left are the supposed 5 tails (according to the statue balance theory)
http://groups.msn.com/NarutoMangaReturns/rvolume39.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=44053
(This is from chapter 353 i think… maybe 354…)
and the ninetails. BUT! I have a feeling Scrubby and J-sama are going to make the case for the second last Bijuu being the 8 tailed snake.
It just bothered me that Kisame made a hint to the fact that he might have been in a fight recently.
And Tobi may not be a Ghost because Deidara did put him in a head lock a few times…
hey… new avatar, its cool
Yet it seems like Kisame has the least control over his chakara.
i never knew there was an 8 tailed snake. where did you hear that? is there a list of all the tailed beasts?
i never thought that kisame had the least control over his chakra.
I think theyre going to show all of the tailed beasts being captured so I don’t think Akatsuki has captured anything beyond the four tails. I mean looking back, they showed the Ichibi, Nibi, Sanbi, and Yonbi all being captured. (Not sure if that’s what they’re called in Japanese)
Wonder if there’s a monkey demon. . .
And I think people are mistaking Orochi, the eight HEADED snake demon for an eight tailed demon. There are several legends about Orochi and I’m not too keen on telling them. It’s long. Perhaps I’ll just post in on a blog. Laters! ^__^
i think in the past, akatsuki already got the rest of the tailed beasts and sealed them. because ive read somewhere that the rest have been captured
helloo!!!
hello! jeff
yeah… they definitely said that there’s only two left.
Here’s were you may be refering to about kisame S-leader
http://groups.msn.com/NarutoMangaReturns/rvolume29.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=34550
I don’t think that means he has the most Chakra… it just says he has a lot of it… And I don’t know if he’s reallly demonstrated poor chakra control to say he isn’t skilled… he made a lot of water and such when fighting team Guy.
I think after 4 four tails, there were only the Kyuubi and one other tailed monster left to capture.
What Scrubby was saying in Chapter 379 blog made sense… about Orochi and such. I think him and J-sama were working on a blog entry.
It’s 1 here and my post was at 10… Maybe I’ve discovered THE SIXTH ELEMENT!!
wait a second… you guys are on the west coast? what? …. I never knew.
i dont even know were the west coast is
what! its 1 over there siskin! man, your up real late in the morning
i dont get when it says you have a large amount of chakra even for us akatsuki. what does that mean?
yeah I guess it’s pretty late… I’m a college student so It’s kinda normal… well… in a few weeks I’ll be a grad school drop out but I still claim to maintain the title of college student. It just suprised me because I imagined team 5 (Bob, Nef, Zep, Shino Ab. and I forgot someone…) being from someplace on the eastcoast, possible from Boston or NYC going to school at a big school or someplace that has Japanese courses at least (I assume that’s where the Kanji class comes from). I guess the West coast fits that bill more though and it begins to make more sense when Bob does posts and such… I just thought he was a night owl college student too. Turns out he’s from California or something.
kisame’s chakra? well I think Pein is saying that he just has a lot in comparison to the other members of Atkasuki…
well anyway thanks for the answer, im not tired so maybe like another half hour writing comments and then i will stop. hey its almost 11, i wonder if sasuke is going to get the mangekyou sharingan in this battle. i think he will because this might be the final battle for them. …..sasuke will be all beat up and then he will finally get the mangekyou sharingan and finish the battle. lol grad school drop out
till tomorow everybody goodnight!!!
East coast? West coast? Pleeeeeese ! The difference is like 4 hours or something. What about us poor europeans? We’re like 10 hours away! That’s time for ya.
E.R.Nefarious said: “There are several legends about Orochi and I’m not too keen on telling them. It’s long. Perhaps I’ll just post in on a blog.” Oh, no you don’t! That’s mine & Scrubby’s blog! We picked it 2 days ago. It’ll be out in about 2-3 days. (we don’t have the time to post it sooner).
i think Itachi is wierd sometimes
lol
have u guys ever thought about something? Maybe when the rasengan went through tobi he was using a genjustu
Hmmm i hope these fights work out (oh and this is TEMARI XD by the way) i mena theres alot of fights happening at the same time but im really interested in the TOM fight, 8 on 1……thats some serious odds
Well, First off, I’m new to this Awesome site. But My theory is that Itachi had summoned Sasuke to inform him of the connection to Kyubi and say that they need to work together along with Madara b4 it gets too late. but I think inorder to defeat Madara Itachi saw something that was about to happen to the clan so he killed them to get Sasuke Raged enough to be powerful to defeat TOM. (Get the M- Sharingan)
oh and merry december guys!!
Woa something just got jumbled up there so to fix it…
Work together along with Naruto and Kyubi to defeat Madara …
good theory newman, but i dont think sasuke would ever work together with Itachi, he’s too stubborn and with Naruto there things would just kick off and there would be a naruto vs sasuke vs itachi brawl!
cant wait until sasuke and itachi do battle
to me i dont think naruto is that stronge, he always rushing through without thinking and then he always get piss off easily
newman, naruto cant defeat tobi, tobi can just use his sharingan power to supress the kyuubi chakra and im not sure is naruto and sasuke going to fight again if they do sasuke more likely have the adventage
but if sasuke wil kil itachi what will he do next i mean he lives to kil him and i dont think he’s going back to konoha
if sasuke does succed in killing itachi then im guessing hes after naruto since their a connection between the uchiha clan and the fox power
i think were gonna find out who TOM really is on friday, im really looking forward to it
What if the kyubi was captured by Madara Long b4 the start of the Series to run tests on using its power to restore the Sharingan power. But the Kyubi was capable of breaking free and decided to destroy the leaf village? And the tapestry was to remind every Uchiha that if they wanted the true power of the sharingan A: Kill your best friend for M- Sharingan or B: Capture the Kyubi’s host and extract the demons from all villages.
Okay, If Sunade ( Spelling may be off for names) goes to help out Jiraiya and they both get killed A: Who would be able to defeat Pain and B: Who would become the next Hokage ( I’m guessing Naruto, Neji, or Kakashi)
i dont think thats the case, wait i think your right, maybe they want the kyuubi power knowing that they could control it with their sharingan
thats interesting maybe so….maybe they summoned it thinking they could control it completely but realised that thy could only talk to it and it was too strong for them…..and thats why madara wants help this time form sasuke and itachi…so he can try again
and (heres my theory) say the uchiha’s all new about this…..and madara killed them all to stop them getting the power he wanted…except Itachi who he took in and they left sasuke because they knew he could get the m-sharingan and together they could get that power…..does that make sense to anyone?
not really, that cant be the reason why he wanted to kill them. i only thing i think he did that was because maybe all the uchiha wanted to stop him and they think hes betraying the leaf villege
tom might have a new sharingan ability stronger then the mongekyou sharingan itself, hes using this this power to trap them all in his genjutsu or he has the ability to steal other ninjas ability that even have ability that noone else could copy except him
maybe just a theory thought there isnt any evidence so i cant really argue back
By the way Anyone know when Shippuuden starts on TV in U.S.? ( I’m kind of tired of reading subs)
how could tobi have a sharingan more powerful than the mangekyou. he must be like really strong.
i dont know when it starts but my guess is in like a few months because they have alot of extra anime episodes that dont relate to the shippuuden episodes
I might be going over my head here but… After Sasuke’s ” Mission” is complete I wonder if he’d go back to Konoha for Sakura or would he end up with Karin to incorprate her ability to sense Chakra levels and incorporate it into the new Uchiha clan. But Continuing on with relationships… I think Shikamaru will end up with Temari and its a given that Naruto ends up with Hinata.
i personally think like most sorta action program a character important to the main character will die….this could be sakura..or hinata in my opinion and with that naruto will realease more enrgy then ever…….and kick bad guy ass
i agree with new man temari+shikamaru naruto+hinata but sasuke is not going back to sakura he is so mean to her all the time.
that will be cool but naruto still dosnt know that hinata likes him
Wait I thought of the perfect match for Sakura “Pakun” I mean they at least have one thing in commen, They use the same shampoo Heh heh
Woa it cut off the rest of what I was saying..
I’m just kidding about Sakura and Pakun
sakura can just have him as a pet lol
“But again comes the dylema of why wasn’t Tobi a member of Akatsuki until Sasori’s death?”
I’m thinkin Tobi has been in Akatsuki the entire time, just hidden though. I think that now is the part of their plan where Tobi needs to reveal himself and do his own work for the plan to succeed, and this is the perfect time to reveal himself now that there is an open spot.
…”this symbolises that the sharingan is incomplete without the Kyuubi.”
As far as Itachi goes…this is kinda a lame theory but, I think Itachi needed to join Akatsuki for whatever reason (probably the Kyubi since the sharingan needs the Kyubi to become complete ). But, I think Itachi knew he did not have the power to do his “mission”, but Sasuke did and that is why he left him alive. So Itachi has gotten so far in his plan and now, just as Itachi has planned, Sasuke will take over from here on out to complete the rest of the mission, and he will start by killing Itachi and taking his place.
tobi wasnt a member because there was only 9 rings each one was taken by the other akatsuki members. there used to be ten but orichimaru still had his even though wasnt an akatsuki member anymore
I just thought of something.. What if Itachi was ordere d by the Uchiha incharge of the clan ( Not Madara) to kill the clan to protect them from any actions taken by Madara and he was told to keep Sasuke alive so that there would be two people left to possibly kill Madara After all Itachi was the pride of the clan and maybe he was instructed to leave sasuke out of it hoping that he’d never know. But he came home when Itachi was still carrying the mission out?
but wouldnt the word be spred out then maddara would find out?
Kill ‘em to protect ‘em, huh? That sounds kinda strange.
also because in the pictures that they show in the manga everybody who got killed looked scared.
“tobi wasnt a member because there was only 9 rings each one was taken by the other akatsuki members. there used to be ten but orichimaru still had his even though wasnt an akatsuki member anymore”
Well that’s just it i mean Tobi was kept as a secret so no one even knew of his exisistance in Akatsuki, so he didn’t need a ring
I agree, I said this in my blog about Itachi before:
http://www.narutohurricane.com/narutoblog/2007/11/05/itachi-uchiha-the-real-murderer-part-2/
you have to be seriously warped to do something like that, even if it’s to save the world or something. If he did do it then Itachi is no better than Madara.
And 161 comments in two days?? NUTS!
but in the manga tobi was talking to zetsu and they found sasoris ring and then he said “now that we found his ring that means i can become an akatsuki now right?
bob when is next blog going to come out? and i agree with bob 162 comments!!!
I wonder how many Mangas are left( It seems as if we are winding down to the end of the Naruto Universe, and I hope we don’t end at a cliff hanger, They really bother me when they do that.
if they are they better have a really good ending but i think there is like 10 more books
im a firm believer that mangas never end.. im still reading inuyasha and they ended the anime like 3 years ago, same with hellsing.. its a once a month release but they have over 80 chapters
I’m still hoping for a part 3. After Kishi finishes volume 42, he would have matched Toriyama’s Dragonball manga (a major influence on Naruto) in terms of total volumes.
Lol, I read the monthly Hellsing releases was because the author was just lazy
rofl probably.. i actually watched the hellsing miniseries way back when it first came out in 2001 or whenever then i forgot about it for about 5 years then looked it up again and was amazed at how much i need to catch up on
Yes but I mean it’s all apart of the plan. Tobi doesn’t want people to know who he is and it would be kinda strange for Tobi to enter Akatsuki if he didn’t have a ring.
i still dont ge it
get it
what r we talking about? whats hellsing?
Hellsing is another anime/manga series, but it’s not as popular as naruto. They’re just disscusing different possibiliteies of how Naruto’s gonna end (or not end).
speaking of other anime series.. any1 watch blood plus? i missed last nights episode and i cant find any english subtitles only french, any help would be appreciated =)
I have to agree with Sharingan leader What the Eff is hellsing?
Is it an anime version of VanHelsing or WTF is it?
thanks j-sama and cool new avatar!! its funny!
it sounds like a vampire anime show
Since were on the subject of other Series…
Anyone know when the new Trigun movie is coming out?
i love trigun!! wait if your saying the new movie, there was already a first trigun movie, i never knew. vash the stampide! but i still like naruto alot better.
Gah! How could you peeps not know about Hellsing! Excessive Blood&Gore+Vampires+Big Ass Guns = Good Anime
never herd of it ever in my life
the only anime i ever like were fullmetal alchemist, bleach and naruto
and im not much of a fan of dbz, the directer of that show bored me
I loved and still do DBZ but I always laugh when I think back to how they would have an entire episode go by and only two or three actual sentences were spoken all the other dialogue was guys gasping/grunting/screaming.
I agree that bleach, naruto and fullmetal alchemist are awsome but DBZ kinda sucked. I liked it when i was younger but wtf man what was all that grunting and screaming about i personally think it was a shceme to make for episodes so they had more videos to sell and thus make more money
i meen more episodes
J-Sama, you said “That’s mine & Scrubby’s blog!”. For the love of god you can take it! xD That’s a can of worms I’m not too keen on opening. If people want an interactive summary of the Legend of Orochi, just play Okami (its for the PS2).
And somebody said something about Japanese Kanji classes. . . ;-; That’s so flattering. Seriously. It’s all self-taught, so that’s a really big compliment! xD
Another question: Who’s gonna’ win, Suigetsu or Kisame?
Oh. A thought about why Naruto’s Rasengan went straight through TOM: Either the entire party is under TOM’s sharingan illusion thingy, or Naruto’s just attacked a shadow clone.
finally the sasuke vs itachi battle is going to start!
About the boys and the girls that will be dating… I’m going on on a limb and saying Naruto and Sasuke aren’t interested in girls.
Nef,
Kisame is going to win hands down… this is to make room for Naruto and Sakura to take the position of being Sasuke’s pals again. I think these characters of team hebi resemble the androids from Dragon Ball Z. (which I agree was awful in ways, although it is the “scuby doo” of anime).
Someone said something about Itachi being the most talented uchiha, but Itachi’s best friend was supposed to have been more talented then him (I forget his name). That was the guy who Itachi killed. Itachi realy seems to enjoy torturing people as seen when he put Kakashi in the MS and didn’t kill him. He also enjoys pushing himself and a challenge which is why he smiled when Naruto killed the 30% itachi clone while looking for Gaara. I’m really starting to doubt he’s a good person. I think the Sharingan can tap into the 6th element and see into the future which is why Itachi is questioning Sasuke about what he sees. If Itachi could see the future then it would make sense that he could see Sasukes future and how he could use Sasuke… where the other members of the clan seemed to have no purpose in life.
SO… for battles… Jiraiya’s dead, Kisame crushes team hebi, Zetsu and Tobi fight the 6 Konoha ninja with Naruto and possibly Hinata going on to find Sasuke who gets beat by Itachi again (don’t forget Itachi has experience fighting other sharingan users). Tsunade wins her bet.
And Tobi being in the shadows until now was a good idea because knowledge of him would have slipped out when Orochimaru left, plus pein can always use another body but his eyes are hard to miss.
I really don’t want this series to end soon. Even if it is after naruto becomes hokage, i want this thing to go on 2 at least 150 to 200 more episodes
I really want Sasuke to gain the Mangekyou in this fight. Even though he has not killed Naruto, it doesn’t mean that he can’t get it. Kakashi certainly didn’t kill Obito, but he feels responsible for his death. This just goes to show that attaining the Mangekyou is more a matter of your attitude towards the death than the literal circumstances of the death. If Sasuke feels badly enough about how he ended his relationship with Naruto, he could twist that around into figuratively killing his friendship, if not the actual friend.
To be honest, I only want to see Sasuke’s Mangekyou so I can finish a painting I’ve been working on. It is a sheet of paper divided into four squares, with each section depicting a different Sharingan. I already have Sasuke’s fully evolved Sharingan, and both Itachi’s and Kakashi’s Mangekyou. I just need Sasuke’s Mangekyou to finish it, so I can turn it into my avatar.
“I’m going on on a limb and saying Naruto and Sasuke aren’t interested in girls. ” Siskin, are you suggesting yaoi or at least shounen ai?
That’d be nice, especialy if there was yuri, too.
Well Naruto clearly likes Sakura, Sasuke on the other hand.. Man this blog is going all over the place. Tobi is most likely not there to capture Naruto. I’m pretty sure his only purpose of appearing is to stall Naruto’s eight man group so that Itachi’s and Sasuke’s meeting will go uninterrupted.
““I’m going on on a limb and saying Naruto and Sasuke aren’t interested in girls. †Siskin, are you suggesting yaoi or at least shounen ai?

o man id be pissed rofl. kiski would have to let us know early on about something like that.. i mean i watched miraze of blaze BUT I KNEW WHAT IT WAS going into it!!!
I was thinking about how nobody can injure, let alone touch, Tobi (other than Diedara a couple of times). Maybe he has perfected the Shadow Clone technique to the point were his clones are actually “shadows” of himself and thus not be actual solid bodies.
What do you guys think??
i think tobi is obito and he has a powerfull sharingan like madaras and he is now finding a way to controll the 9 tails like madara could, and that letting Diedara toch him was just 4 show
nice
This may be off topic but here’s a taught… i read this on this site somewhere, “if Kakashi was about to die, and as a parting gift he would give his Sharingan to someone (just like what Obito did), who would it be?”
I’m thinking Naruto.
Why Naruto? Ok we all know that Kakashi use this Sharingan to copy jutsu(let’s say 1000) it must have taken years or something. Now, i think that if naruto created 1000 shadow clones and have each of them copy one jutsu… u know. Plus Kakashi gets tired very fast after using the Sharingan too much, but we all know that Naruto just keep’s on going like the Energizer bunny.
anybody agrees with me?
I don’t think anybody’s giving his eye to anybody. Kishi’s already done that once & he doesn’t really like to repeat himself much (especially on such important things).
Oh, I just had an awsome idea! What if the only thing that can harm Tobi are people that have the same blood as him (the Uchiha’s) & he tried to kill to his entire clan, so that no one would be able to kil him. Or something in that trail of thoughts.
Shikamaru – I thought Tobi was using a shadow clone too.
Oh you guyz are the best critics I’ve ever encountered…. hey don’t you ever wonder why Obito or TOM didn’t really fight?…. can somebody explain that?… and if he is Madara then why should he hide himself…. and regarding to his relationship with Pien, why shold Pien be the leader when he was about the one who command Pien on what to do… and for Pien I’m really wonderin’ why he was easily being convincedby madara and can you guyz tell who is stronger than madara and Pien ?… you guyz better answer all of my questions ok… hehehe
Gohosku,
Kishi did have naruto and sasuke kiss at the beginning of the series, plus naruto doesn’t really seem to be into Sakura as much as he was. Maybe all the time with the pervy sage turned him off of girls. If it happens, it wouldn’t surprise me. Sasuke never seemed interested in girls.
Punk,
The fact that Kakashi got the sharingan was a fluke. If Orochimaru could have done that then why didn’t he take sasuke and rip out his eyes to put into Orochimaru’s current body?
I think Tobi just has them under the power of the Sharingan in some sort of genjutsu. The perfect shadow clone isn’t something people can go right through, because isn’t that what a regular clone is?
In this chapter I think of Tobi as master Yoda testing Luke ( He tested Luke’s Patience) I think Tobi is just testing Naruto’s power and gathering information to start his next move. Learn the enemy before you attack. You can find out what there signature move is and what there weakness is and other tactical shit.
As for my thoughts on Toms personality and appearence…
I think Tobi is just Madara’s alias and he wears a mask because he probably lost an eye in the battle against the hokage. He might just reveal his true identity as Madara to everyone else once he is ready. The only ones who truely know his identity are Pain+Konan and possibly Itachi
also could it be that Madara is the origional user and creater of the imortality jutsu and he used obitos dead body+ Reanimation jutsu? Orochimaru could probably have learned it from a scroll when he was testing forbidden jutsu while still in the Leaf Village
Newman,
I’m starting to believe that one of the powers of the sharingan is to see the future or someone’s potential… so I doubt Tobi is testing Naruto and the others because the people in his team aren’t secrets. They’ve battled different Akatsuki members plus Akatsuki has members from the leaf village that already know about their abilities (such as Itachi, Orochimaru and Kabuto from before).
I think you’re right about Tobi stalling them, but I think Zetsu is hiding somewhere as well. My guess is that it’s Kishi’s chance to reveal Tobi as being Obito to Kakashi.
Siskin I think Naruto’s still into girls. Firstly, he developed a new perverted ninjitsu (which we didn’t get to see because Sakura punched him), secondly he attempted to peep at Sakura and the other ladies in the baths (and Yamato stopped him with a scary story about what Tsunade did to Jiraiya when he did the same) and third, did you see his reaction to Konohamaru’s sexy double knockout girls ninjitsu?
I’d agree that Saske isn’t into girls though.
good point lovething
it becomes an interesting love triangle if naruto is into sakura who is into sasuke who is into naruto. I guess Sasuke is kinda emotionally dead to the world though. But he has to take one for the team to bring back his clan. Although, I have a feeling his clan and the ninetails and all that demon stuff will come to an end when the Naruto manga comes to an end.
Let’s let Lady P worry about pairings in her blog. By the way, Siskin, are you making a new blog, too?
quoi?
no, I just like to sit and speculate. Plus, at the moment, I don’t really have time. I’m not sure what to make one about. I didn’t want to steal Shino’s idea… although I kinda tried to send his post on 379 in with credit to him about Pein’s relationship to buddism. But, no I don’t really have anything to blog about.
Lady P has a blog? about pairing? I never knew.
Yep, she does. But she won’t be able to post before Christmas probably. Ahh… so the buddist Pein thing was Shino’s idea. I think Bob is still considering whether to post it or not.
im looking forward to Lady P’s blogs i havent ever read 1!
wow, this is hilarious
and awesome new avatar j-sama!
i want to see hinata usually fight in shippuden
i agree with nss7.. this blog is halarious.. that is all rofl
J-sama,
yeah it was shino’s idea. I added some of my own thoughts… I just thought it would be nice to break out some of these conversations because we’re talking about a million different things. Not that I’m complaining although i kinda am… BUT this site is definitely less confusing than some of the other sites about naruto where they have 10 million pictures and spoiler hiding things that aren’t spoilers and people just saying hi…
Bob needs more posts because this is going to hit 300 comments before the week is out WHIch makes it a nightmare to look at for those on dial up… or slower computers… or slower connections.
kool, thanks for the comments.
I have another idea… What if Tobi took some of Madara cells after he was defeated/died in the fight against the First and fused them into his body like what Kabuto did with Orochimaru’s? That’s why he is wearing a mask and that costume (that metal looking outfit) cause Madara cells are taking over his body, and maybe that would explain the double personality? Then again…. it’s just me.
i’m a punk!
tobi and zetsu are both cowards:
Tobi, he mostly act like a child and just act dumb knowing that he couldnt get killed
zetsu, he watch for enemies and mostly hide in trees so no one can attack or find him
like that one episode, zetsu could have help deidara in fighting kakashi and naruto but he he decide in waiting until diedara or sasori died to come
doesn’t zetsu like to eat people though? And that’s why he was waiting. Zetsu is the one that we know the least about. I imagine he has his strengths besides being a spy. AND I DON”T MEAN GARDENING!… AH..hahahha… venus flytrap head…
but when are we going to see hm acually in a real battle
i’m guessing in the next 4 or 5 chapters. Hinata will probably see him in a tree or something so he can’t hide from the byuukugen.
i just thought of something, maybe zetsu been eating ninjas to get stronger and in the end he ends up eating demon chakra and became the strongest out of all the akatski member
that kinda makes sense…
Sasori used dead peoples bodies
as did Pein
Orochimaru used science and other people’s bodies
Kisame steals chakra with his sword
Hidan was all about sacrificing people for his god err something
Kakuzu was all about turning people in for money
And Itachi seems to enjoy torturing people.
Deidara doesn’t really fit into this using people theme, nor does Konan at this point.
some reason i have a feeling that zetsu might be the strongest out of all the akatski member
I don’t think anyone has said this or not but couldn’t Tobi be who Itachi supposedly killed, Shisui of the Mirage. I believe that he was very powerful in his own right, I mean the man has a name
that makes perfect sence, to me NSS7 ^______^
“Lady P has a blog? about pairing? I never knew.” Don’t let her hear/see that! She’ll find you and spam you with dirty yaoi until you beg for mercy.
I wonder if Zetsu-man has abilities like other carnivorous plants! The Venus Fly trap is one, but there’s other plants that make a super-adhesive to catch their prey and keep them there untill they de-compose and asorb the energy. Better question: Who’s he gonna’ try to eat? O__O;;
“She’ll find you and spam you with dirty yaoi until you beg for mercy.”
LMAO, she would too
It reminds me of a penny arcade cartoon I saw a while ago:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/04/11
xD Ha-ha! You’re STILL my hero, Bob-o!
But LadyP has officially fallen off the face of our pretty sater-covered rock yet again! ^_^;; Thus her couplings blog must be pushed back yet again!
Personally, I think Sasuke still likes the girls, just hates his brother more.
“She’ll find you and spam you with dirty yaoi until you beg for mercy.â€
As ai previously stated i like yaoi & yuri, so it’s no problem.
I can’t believe I missed it before, but is Pein wearing a necklace?
the necklace of the sage… possibly?
hey guys kindly help to have picture here!!!!
Itachi and Pein are BOTH wearing necklaces. And I do think that Pein is wearing the same one as the Sage was from a couple of chapters ago
58 to go!!!
I think that pein when he was stil young have taken over yahiko’s body with his rinnengan becouse he was almost death and also that pein(inside yahiko)is the father of naruto becouse they have look like each other alot and that is why he had put the demon fox inside naruto.And that was also what jiraira was going to tell.And the other bodies he also have taken control of.I think this makes sense
Pein can’t be Naruto’s father. Didn’t you read chapter 367, Gaara-of-the-dessert? http://www.narutohurricane.com/naruto_v40_c367.html Look carefully at the conversaition between Jiraiya & Tsunade.
Shees i am really stupid,thanks j-sama
I think i am going to read the manga again
