Naruto Manga chapter 381 – His True Identity

7 December 2007 332 Comments


Post Author: Bob

This chapter continues with the Jiraiya vs. the Six Peins battle but starts off already part ways in to the fighting. Jiraiya lies wounded in a sanctuary/dimension he created. The body of Pein which resembles Deidara has injured him with the black belt we’ve glimpsed at earlier. However, this Pein has fallen into Jiraiya’s “barrier trap” in the process of carrying out his attack and has been cut in half – likely when Jiraiya closed the barrier to his dimension. The black belt has a secondary effect of messing up Jiraiya’s chakra moulding ability (possibly an effect of the Rinnegan) and Pa toad has to remove it for Jiraiya. Also note that when Pa moves to reach the belt, he elongates his body and it looks like he (and Ma) could be melded into Jiraiya’s body and not just perched on his shoulders a previously thought.

Jiraiya thinks back to when Nagato asked him how he can grow up and after comparing it to when Pein said that other peoples’ pain helped him grow up, he admits that the person in front of him must be Nagato. But then the body’s head protector falls off, revealing a deep scar on the forehead, and Jiraiya sudden realizes that he ha fought this person before. After being toad the Toad Sage’s prophecy, Jiraiya began travelling the world as it was foretold. But during the journey he was ambushed by a member of the Fuuma Clan. Jiraiya managed to injure the shinobi with a cut to his forehead – that shinobi is the one and same as the body in front him right now.

Jiraiya thinks back to the prophecy and believes he must try to figure out who Pein really is. Knowing that his chances of survival are pretty low if he goes back through the barrier, he asks Ma and Pa toad to return home. Of course, the toads think that’s a very bad idea especially with Jiraiya already badly injured. But Jiraiya is determined because he believes this must be the tough decision he as meant to make. He asks that the severed body of Pein’s to be brought back to Tsunade for study, but Pa insists that only Ma go and for himself to remain behind to backup Jiraiya.

Jiraiya and Pa exit their barrier dimension from another weird looking toad. Note that the markings on Jiraiya’s face have again gone down a level to what they looked like near the beginning of this encounter with Pein – Jiraiya is continuously getting weaker. A sneak shuriken attack is easily dodged and the other Pein bodies are immediately alerted to Jiraiya’s presence. Jiraiya takes a closer look at all the faces of his enemies again and realizes that they are all people they have met before. Everything suddenly begin to come together and Jiraiya finally figures out Pein’s true identity. But before he can make a move, one of the Peins attacks him by emerging from below the water’s surface. Jiraiya spits out blood as his throat is being crushed. At that same moment, the other four remaining Peins plough into Jiraiya each with their black belt weapons aimed at his back.

Oh great, another really suspenseful cliffhanger. Is Jiraiya dead? What is the true identity of Pein? Who were these other ninjas that Jiraiya has met in his past and how did they become Pein’s bodies? I also wish they’d showed us the beginning of the battle between Jiraiya and the Six Peins. Though I guess this kind of picture narrative does create some more tension and leaves it to our imagination as to what happened after the end of last chapter.

We also hear of the Fuuma Clan again, just who are they? I know a Fuuma clan appears in the Naruto anime, but that was filler material and I don’t consider it to be canon. Looking at the six faces Jiraiya matched to Pein’s bodies, most appear to hail from different villages. The skinny taijutsu guy’s from Takigakure: Hidden Village in the Waterfall, the chiselled chin guy could possibly be from Sand because of that type of cloak collar shown (but this is conjecture only), the fat guy’s from Grass, the guy with no neck – I have no idea, the Deidara lookalike was said to be from Fuuma clan, and Yahiko was from Rain. The only link between them seems to be that they met Jiraiya sometime in his past. And based on the time difference (several years) between Jiraiya’s meeting with the Deidara guy and when he met Yahiko, all these characters are spread out through time and probably never met each other before. Obviously, someone else is pulling the strings here but why bring these six strangers together just because they met Jiraiya before?
My prediction for the next scene in this fight is that Pa toad would block the attacks on Jiraiya but likely sacrifices himself to do it. Jiraiya then would have two courses of action: 1) go berserk and attempt to take down as many Peins with him as possible using a suicidal jutsu 2) realizes he needs to survive to at least get the true identity of Pein out and manages to send off a messenger; whether he survives after this is still hard to say mainly because I don’t what poor Jiraiya to die.

    Why does the old dude have girly lashes? ._.
    Could Pein have felt abandoned when Jiraiya left and went around harvesting all of Jiraiya’s victims. Or Yahiko and the others couldhave found out that Jiraiya was one of the warring Sannins and gotten really pissed about it. o-o

  • sharingan leader said:

    NO IM SECOND!!!!!!!!!

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    Woo! Victory! Love the avatar, by the way! ^_^

  • sharingan leader said:

    sorry for my laungauge GOD DAMMIT!!! IM SECOND!!!!! also im wondering how could pein transfer him self to (possibly) dead ninja? i noticed, every pein is from a different village. i cant wait till the next chapter!

  • Bob said:

    What’s wrong with you guys! I just made this post ten minutes ago! LoL

  • rasengan or chidori?? said:

    this is getting so good!!!!

  • sharingan leader said:

    oh thanks! i like it my avatar alot. the guy with the evil smile whats up with his neck? and what jutsu was that, that the peins used against jariaya?

  • sharingan leader said:

    whats wrong bob? its a little compition who gets the first comment.

  • defbass said:

    So it turns out that there is more to Jiraiya’s globe trotting than peeping on girls and writing his books!

    I agree, there’s too much coincidence that Jiraiya has previously met all 6 Pein bodies. Someone has set this up. Maybe Mandara is the one who gave those bodies to Nagato so he could do his soul transfer into them? If the TOM theory is right, that could explain why Pein takes orders from TOM; as payback for the bodies.

  • Nandou said:

    This chapter was AMAZING, poor old j-sama =(

    I hope he survives at least to say what is pein’s true identity… maybe it isn’t nagato, then why does he have the rin’negan, or what happened to nagato?

    I hate cliffhangers =’(

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    “What’s wrong with you guys! I just made this post ten minutes ago! LoL” It’s like FOOD! Can’t live without it. ;D Is it a bad thing?

  • kiba said:

    the fuuma clan is from the episodes where jariaya,naruto and sakura went to orchimarus hideout to find sasuke

  • sharingan leader said:

    so in the anime why didnt they talk about the rinnegan?

  • Bob said:

    no I think that was just a coincidence, the producers just made up a name. At the time, I doubt Kishi even revealed his plans for the manga up to this point.

  • elerium said:

    yo,why would toad sacrifice and block the attacks? I bet Jiraiya takes the attacks, tells who he thinks Pein is and then the toad is unsummoned to go back to Tsunade. Its tricky with Pein bodies – maybe they would be different for different opponent? Maybe Rinnegan brings up whatever is in opponents mind and materializes into a body? I bet its a wicked way Pein sees everything – he is even fighting with people who had ben injured and felt pain by the opponent, in this case J-sama.

  • sharingan leader said:

    so r u trying to say that the six piens are trying to kill jariaya just like he did to them?

  • Bob said:

    that’s a good theory elerium. But I don’t know about Yahiko’s case. I doubt Jiraiya ever physically caused pain to him. So it have been emotional pain from seeing Jiraiya leave them. But it’s not like Jiraiya just suddenly abandoned them one night. He trained them for Three years and said his farewells too. Yahiko must have know Jiraiya wasn’t gonna hold his hand for the rest of his life right?

  • Bob said:

    Nowhere did it say Jiraiya killed any of them, certainly he didn’t kill Yahiko.

  • elerium said:

    well, the most i could assume is that this is a way Pein treats his enemies – shapes them in a form resembling people his enemies hurt in the past. But who knows – one of the bodies was the same to everyone. and he did mention that he has a body for each different task.. it could also be, as someone said, that yahiko or nagato went back through the steps of J-sama and found all the people relating to him – however, Pein didn’t remember ho J-sama was when he confronted him several chapters ago – so if everything is a planned-out set up, it would be very strange for Pein not to recognize a person this set up is dedicated to.. So i guess its happening naturally to him…

  • sharingan leader said:

    im just saying maybe because it makes me wonder when jariaya said iv met them before? what happened when he met them?

  • somersaultclouds said:

    hey am back! it’s been a Loooooooong time since my last comment. :D

    just a crazy wild guess…maybe Yahiko is Jiraiya’s LOVE CHILD! haha! :P and when Yahiko found out about Jiraiya being his father, he went far enough to stalk on Jiraiya. hahaah! :D

    Hey Mr. Elerium…nice idea, maybe Pein can summon bodies of the hardest opponents Jiraiya fought(or of whom Jiraiya is afraid to fight off)?

    yup, i second Ms. Nef…”It’s like food..can’t live without it.” hehee…and besides, just like what I’ve said Mr. Bob…I’m your number 1 fan! ;) keep it up!

    I’ll be back in the holidays, and read what I’ve missed between….three more school paper to finish….awww gawwwd. :)

    Thanks! :D

  • sharingan leader said:

    does anybody know what type of jutsus the six peins have?

  • Bob said:

    Going back and finding (and maybe killing) all these people must have taken a lot of time – all of it just to defeat Jiraiya? What could have warped Nagato so much to make him hate Jiraiya this much?

  • elerium said:

    yeah bob, you’re probably right…

  • elerium said:

    bob – this is exactly my problem – he didn’t do this for Jiraiya, or at least it seems so. He was doing his plan to capture the beasts and thats it.. so its either someone else gave him the bodies or they are shaped as i mentioned before.. hell knows at this point..

  • Bob said:

    Hey, welcome back somersault :) Forget your papers, just copy and paste some of the blog entries here and make up appropriate titles – that’s all the teachers ever read anyways :P

    “maybe Pein can summon bodies of the hardest opponents Jiraiya fought(or of whom Jiraiya is afraid to fight off)?”
    Yeah, definitely more plausible, perhaps another Rinnegan ability?

  • Bob said:

    “yeah bob, you’re probably right”

    Lol, don’t ever say I’m right. My bullsh*ting is about as “right” as anybody else’s, hehe. My spelling is just a little better, maybe.

  • sharingan leader said:

    if your saying that bob, how did pein know who he fought in the past? or maybe pein(nagato) was there to witness the fight.

  • Bob said:

    “so its either someone else gave him the bodies or they are shaped as i mentioned before.”

    definitely more plausible given that Pein already has demonstrated his shapeshift ability.

    “does anybody know what type of jutsus the six peins have?”
    Your guess is as good as mine, but maybe it can be guessed based on the village they came from. Like the fat guy from grass, being able to absorb and meld things seems to be a common theme for ppl from that village.

  • Bob said:

    “maybe pein(nagato) was there to witness the fight”

    Nagato couldn’t have. In that flash back pic, Jiraiya looked like he did when he first met the Toad Sage, Nagato must have been either a baby or wasn’t even born at the time.

    But another possibility could be that Nagato is really older than he appears.. even when he first met Jiraiya. Who knows what abilities the Rinnegan has.

  • The Unknown said:

    In the beginning, the six Peins’ where in those photos and now Jiraiya is included in this photo. What if he will be turned into to the next Pein? Apparently these other fighters who became Pein where great fighters from there villages. Just like Kakuzu would take the hearts of warriors when he would lose one, Pein might replace Jiraiya with the other Pein. Just a thought.

    Hopefully, Jiraiya is ok but it seems in most movies the teacher dies and the student takes revenge.

  • elerium said:

    shit it would be damn sad to see naruto fighting with pein and one of peins being Jiraiya. half of that country would go in fox flames..

  • sharingan leader said:

    thats just so wierd that jariaya meets those ninja again. pein is so mysterious. another way that pein knows about these other mysterious ninja is that the rinnegan has a power that he goes into jariayas mind and torture him the way (possibly) he killed them.

  • Bob said:

    that would be such a good twist! I don’t know what Naruto would do if he had to “kill” his sensei.

  • sharingan leader said:

    hey the unknown, that is a good therie pein might kill jariaya and take his body in replace of the (deidara) pein.

  • The Unknown said:

    I also think Tsunade may join this fight very soon. She told Jiraiya that if their is a problem send a frog to me and I will come. Knowing Jiraiya would be in life or death, Tsunade would use them to teleport to join this fight. Just a thought

  • The Unknown said:

    All of the sudden they are using their belts. Besides loss of controled chakara, that may be away to help with the transfer or bind him to complete the transfer. Pein also seems to recieve the abilities and they only use their main talent in battle. If you notice, they don’t use elemental jutsus’, it may be because these are blooline or forbidden jutsu created by the the “previous tenants” of their bodies.

  • sharingan leader said:

    tsunade might get so mad and unleash her dangerous side but then she might not be strong enough and die too then naruto might get 6 tails!

  • Tee said:

    I think that is the last of what we will see of jiraiya for now everyone will think he’s dead but really either be imprisoned by pain or made one of pains bodies or just killed. Even though i don’t want him to die i wish they go back to naruto and sasuke.

  • Gohosku said:

    COME ON JIRAIYA YOU CAN DO IT ADD A LOT OF POWER TO IT!!! .. sorry that used to help us in softball back in elementary school

  • sharingan leader said:

    ??? that was random. somebodyCOMMENT! ITS BEEN LIKE AN HOUR ONLY TWO COMMENTS??!!

  • hanamichi said:

    damn..i hope jiraiya stays alive..he still has so many things to teach to nartuo..i hope tsunade knows some kind of time/space jutsu so that she can teleport hereelf to where jiraiya is right now and heal him..

  • Nandou said:

    A while ago i said that tsunade might join this fight and get killed as well, and everybody discarded my theory… now as the story continues i get more(?) convinced (i don’t know if i spelled this right xD, english is not my mother language) that what i was right. I don’t think tsunade could be stay in konoha doing nothing if ma toad tells her what’s happening.
    And if pein can beat jiraiya, tsunade should be a piece o’ cake :P

  • sharingan leader said:

    hey nanduo it might happen but tsunade is so far away! from the rain village! itll take so long to get there!

  • Nandou said:

    that’s actually the flaw in my theory xD

  • sharingan leader said:

    i wonder who is going to win sasuke or itachi? hey nanduo how do you make the smily face on your comment?

  • Gohosku said:

    ooo teacher teacher i have a question!!! so have we decided jiraiya’s decision was to stay and fight the good fight? cause this all important decision he was to make still leaves me uneasy.

  • sharingan leader said:

    i dont get your question. r u talking about jaraiyas descision?

  • Gohosku said:

    yes his descision. was it him staying there and fighting?

  • The Unknown said:

    I dont believe the fight will last long. Tobi made a comment “and ponders whether Sasuke will remain to crawl like a snake on ground or soar to the sky like a hawk.” I think Itachi will give reason to why he did what he did. He will probaly share his secrets of the new sharringan with Sasuke and want to join forces(along with Tobi).

  • Nameless said:

    Itachi is definitely stronger of the two. His genjutsu, ninjutsu and probably taijutsu all surpass Sasuke’s. But Itachi isn’t there to fight.

    I wonder if they can revive the guy who was split in half, well I guess there wouldn’t be much of a point as he would just writher on the ground while screaming in agony anyways. You know.. there really wasn’t much of a point of Jiraiya going out there and confronting the Peins, I mean all he did was look at them and then realized something. I know he was running low on chakra but surely, he could have created a shadow clone to see all of their faces.

  • J-sama said:

    NOOOO!! I’m 52nd??! I’m so ashamed!
    Sensei is in serious trouble. Vixtory is abolutely out of the question now, but he’s awsome so he’ll survive.

  • J-sama said:

    WOW! 53 comments in less than 6 hours! We be bustin’ heads!
    I’m wondering about Jiraiya’s book. I don’t think the book he’s supposed to write is a porn book.

  • Bob said:

    lol, I know, and he had plenty of time to look at their faces when Pein was blabbing away. But isn’t this way more heroic? Kishi must intend for Jiraiya to go out with a bang.

  • Bob said:

    52nd J-sama? -__- Hang your head in shame.
    Anyways you think that big scroll he carries around all the time is used to record stuff for his book?

  • J-sama said:

    Maybe. But I think it’s rather a frog-summoning scroll. (very ashamed)

  • Bob said:

    True, but it seems a bit oversized for just toad summons. Tenten carries a similar sized scroll in part II for weapon summons, but it makes sense because she uses a bazillion of them in a fight. I’m sure Jiraiya has a lot summons, but it can’t be that many.

  • J-sama said:

    Don’t forget it’s also a contract for new “recruits”.

  • noname said:

    i wonder what’s ganna happen between itachi and sasuke

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    i hope that jiraya survives and that sasuke kil itachi and then help naruto and the others to kil tom but i don’t think that wil happen

  • Lovething said:

    Wow, that was one of the best episodes I’ve read!! I agree with elerium’s theory – the jutsu Pein is using somehow shows people you’ve hurt in the past. Maybe you’re fighting their pain.

    Did Nagato take Jiraiya literally when he said “knowing what it feels like to be hurt is exactly why we try to be kind to others”, and somehow merge himself into all the pain that’s ever been felt?

    If this is true, he might be acting like some sort of god of vengeance… giving back all the pain you’ve caused to others.

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    man i am always one of the latest :(

  • Lovething said:

    So, we know Ma and Pa can teleport (or move very quickly). Does that mean Tsunade can save Jiraiya in time? Would she even be able to fight Pein if he transformed into Dan and Nawaki?

    Jiraiya needs to survive to tell Konoha what he knows about Pein, otherwise Naruto and the gang will be at the same disadvantage Jiraiya had a few mangas ago.

    If Pa gets Jiraiya back to Konoha, I’m sure Tsunade can help him. His wounds are serious, but probably nothing she hasn’t healed before.

    I’m a bit suspicious of those belt things. What does it mean to be it by 5 of them at a time? I hope Jiraiya was using his hair shield jutsu.

  • Lovething said:

    Hey – I’ve just had a thought. I think the only person who can defeat Pein is someone who has defeated their own personal pain in the past.

    Naruto suffered a lot of pain in his childhood, and unlike almost everyone, he turned that pain into kindness, and has helped so many overcome their own pain.

    I think he’s the only one who can defeat Pein.

  • Shino Aburame said:

    Wow! Great chapter! This chapter hints at Pein not being Nagato… This would mean that someone defeated Nagato and Yahiko and took the Rinnegen and Yakhiko’s body and became friends with Konnan? That doesn’t seem likely to me.

    I don’t think that Pein summoned Jiraiya’s enemies or else Jiraiya would have recognized them sooner. I think that Jiraiya knows these ninja because they were all notable ninja and they were known throughout the world of Shinobi. This would mean that Pein is so awesome that he was able to defeat all of them and take control of their bodies.

    It would be such a weird twist if he takes Jiraiya’s body and gives it the Rinnegan! That might mean that he might be able to be brought back to life! Wow there has never been this many comments on the first day before!

  • Shino Aburame said:

    Oh Yeah… and I also think that Tsunade will come right away. I think that she is secretly in love with Jiraiya and she will tell her subordinates to analyze the bodies while she goes back and helps Jiraiya. Who ever said that Tsunade isn’t as powerful as Jiraiya is wrong. Remember, she almost killed him and she is HOKAGE!!! Maybe she will show her secret jutsu while fighting Pein! But I think that she will just go and rescue Jiraiya and run back and heal his wounds.

  • B4ttlehunter said:

    I like all the theories, but if Pein/TOM whomever is Bringing these guys back to life, isnt it possible they could use jiraiya’s body when hes dead? just like pein is doing to all the other guys? Just like Orochimaru wants sasuke’s maybe pein wants Jiraiya’s but for alternate means of course =]

    Also amazing chapters, im new to commenting on stuffm but im glad to see there so many interested fans (y)

  • B4ttlehunter said:

    Sorry for all the mistakes by the way =]

  • naruto-kun J sama said:

    o my this is getting really ulgy

  • J-sama said:

    YEAH! Awsome banner! I love you, Bob! Deffinately naughty!

  • elerium said:

    Lovething- great. That must have been your womens intuition :) . I love your theory about this pain Naruto felt. It is specifically emphasized several times in the manga and anime that Naruto is different from the others because he defeated his pain. Doesn’t matter if it is true that Pein shapes his bodies to resemble people from the past or not – this theory that Naruto is the only one Pein wont be so strong against is fantastic.

  • Siskin said:

    I think Pein was trying to enter Jiraiya’s mind when he stuck him with the belt.
    Also… I don’t think he’d want Jiraiya considering the guy only has one arm and Kakuzu isn’t around to stitch people back together.

    Where’s Konan while all this is happening? I bet she stole the rinnengan from them and killed the boys and now she’s taking her revenge

    ALso, Pein recognized Jiraiya as his teacher, so he must either be Yahiko, Nagato, Konan or another former student.
    The body of Yahiko must have some significance because he’s still wearing the necklace. Kishi shows everyones necks except for guy smiley.
    The smiley Pein bothers me because he looks like a villian from Dragon Ball z plus he was really creapy looking as a person as well. As pein, he looks more normal and I think he’s one of the hardest to recornize besides old chiseled guy pein.

    If these folks were jiraiya’s greatest opponents I would bet Orochimaru would be amongst them. Pein wasn’t anticipating running into Jiraiya so I doubt that the significance of the bodies was people he hurt. Or else Jiraiya may be fighting of a plethora of girls!

  • Siskin said:

    I think it will take a Sasuke Naruto tag team to defeat pein. Because if naruto is helping defend someone he’ll fight to his true potential kinda like when him and sasuke fought Haku towards the beginning of the manga.

  • J-sama said:

    “Or else Jiraiya may be fighting of a plethora of girls!” That would’ve been even more horrible! Pein may be evil, but he’s not that evil.

  • sharingan leader said:

    ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lol naughty or nice that is so cool. hey siskin, i really dont think that naruto and sasuke will team together because when naruto finally found sasuke, sasuke tryed to kill naruto so why would he want to work with him. and the valley of the end battle sasuke alsotryed to kill him. but maybe itachi might tell sasuke about another way to get the mangekyou sharingan. or itachi might not and sasuke still might use the old way of getting the mangekyou sharingan. and pein is so gunna kill jariaya im sorry but there is no way he can win.

  • Sorinax said:

    i would like that naruto after this reunions, fightswith sasuke and finally kill him:)))

  • sharingan leader said:

    itl be a tough fight becuase if sasuke gets the mangekyou.

  • Siskin said:

    I think Pein considers himself a benevolent god.

  • Siskin said:

    naruto is at a complete disadvantage about that… and Sasuke really cares about naruto but he’s just trying to let go of his emotions… notice the team 7 replacements?
    Naruto has given up trying to surpass sasuke… he’s trying to become good enough for sasuke to recognize and value him.

  • sharingan leader said:

    so do you think if sasuke kills itachi sasuke will get the mangekyou sharingan. ok if sasuke and naruto become friends again they will fight but not like the i really hate you fight?

  • J-sama said:

    Hey, you guys like my new avatar? It’s part of my new campaign – “Let’s make fun of Gaara!”

  • punk said:

    Dam! This is getting o_O

  • Siskin said:

    eh… I think Sasuke has the MS. Because Naruto might as well be dead to him and that’s what he proved when he went to actually kill him when they were reunited.
    And if the fought everything is against naruto… he has no ninetails… he wind element actually makes sasuke stronger… sasuke can just put him in a trance or something.
    I don’t see that happening, naruto and sasuke having a good ol’time in a play fight.

    Ok… but the final battle will be
    naruto and sasuke vs. Pein and Tobi…

  • punk said:

    crazy

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    “I think Pein considers himself a benevolent god.” That’s kinda’ iffy, since he seems to know that people won’t be all that grateful for having the world destroyed. He’s doing that “I gotta’ do it for their own good” kinda’ thing. . .
    And the process of getting the Mangekyou is still very vague. Kakashi has it, but he didn’t KILL Obito. Possibly there’s a differen’t “path(s)” to achieving the Mangekyou?

  • Nandou said:

    About tsunade being as strong as jiraiya… i really don’t think so.
    Yes, she almost killed him, but he was peeking at her :P so he probably didn’t do too much to defend himself
    Yes, she is hokage, but jiraiya rejected the offer first, so….

    Btw, AWESOME header

  • sharingan leader said:

    E.R nefarious, kakashi made his own ms. like itachi he has the original.

  • sharingan leader said:

    jariaya is so much stronger than tsunade but whats gunna happen with pein how did he get all those bodies?

  • B4ttlehunter said:

    The bodies came out of some sort of “tank” similar to a cryogenic (however you spell it) freezing thing. There are alternate means of getting the MS, but sasuke may be holding out on us? and like the demon fox says He hasnt seen eyes like that since uchiha madara.. so his eyes are powerful anyway, Not saying they are in comparison to the MS.

    The Body’s pein summoned arnt like a ressurection technique, similar to Orochimaru’s becuase they have the piercings, but they dont have their own self-concious minds either Pein does.

    Thanks =]

  • B4ttlehunter said:

    Why did i say summoned lol… the bodies he has

  • Sannin Jiraiya said:

    i like the idea that maybe its all a type of genjutsu he may be figting say, 5 shadow clones each only using 1 ability but what he see’s are people he has hurt in some way and their pain….but its a weak theory and there are some points that dont make sense

  • sharingan said:

    i think it might be kona who is doing this

  • sharingan said:

    the paper girl

  • sharingan said:

    i think it has to be Konan because i mean while j man walked away from the dead bodys Konan COULD HAVE DID SOMETHING

  • Fugakure said:

    that picture of the guy that jiraiya gave the head wound to…
    what is behind him? does he have a big shuriken on his back like mizuki?

  • Fugakure said:

    about tsunade being as strong as jiraiya..
    tsunade is only physically stronger than jiraiya.
    jiraiya’s ninjutsu are way beyond that of tsunade.

  • Fugakure said:

    i think that the sage of the six paths was evil

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    It was mentioned earlier that SAsuke and Naruto fighting together only enhances Sasuke’s abilities, such as the wind/fire combination. But really, Naruto would get the most out of them teaming up since Sasuke can control the Kyuubi from within Naruto. So, in theory (at least in my head), if they were fighting together Naruto could release all the Kyuubi’s chakra within him and Sasuke could supress the Kyuubi’s “personality” (i don’t know what to call it when Naruto goes past two or three tails and loses contiousness). I figure Sasuke can do that not only from when he talked with the Kyuubi in Naruto’s head but also when he controled the “Snake King” summon to survive Diedera’s final attack.

    On another note, Lovething, I gotta give you credit for coming up with the Naruto vs. Nagato Pain thing. After i read that I started thinking about it and in the entire Narutoverse, Naruto is really the only character to go through an enormous amount of emotional trauma and not be consumed by hate for everyone, like Nagato.

    Also, in the first flashback when Jiriaya first saw Nagato and the Rinnegan he said that it was the Fuuma clan’s eye bloodline ability. And now he tells us that the Pein who stabbed him with the belt is also from the Fuuma Clan… Maybe all of Pein’s bodies are fellow Fuuma Clan members. I personally think we are overthinking the fact that Pein has bodies of people Jiriaya has met before.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Oh yeah, maybe the “Sand Village Pein” is Gaara’s father. If I remember correctly he was killed by Orochimaru before the Chunin exams.
    Also he really resembles Jugo as well, like splitting image.

    After this week, when all my finals are done, I think I am going to write a blog about the 6 Peins and go through the manga to try and find characters from the same village/or look similar to try and get some hints to who these people are.

    Also, if they are people that Pein has defeated before and Jiraiya has met then one of them most probably if the guy who gave the Sannin their title, I forget his name.

  • rikajara said:

    i think that tobi is obito. I mean, think about it. He has a right eye hole, his hair is way too short to be like uchiha madara’s, ad pay attention to his personality. And in chapter 363, In japanese, Tobi isn’t saying, “I am Uchiha Madara,” he’s actually saying, “This is the power of Uchiha Madara.” I think that Masashi Kishimoto put this out to fool us. And, one more thing, look at the lettering. tObi-toBi-tobI-Tobi-tObi=Obito. That would be kool if Kakashi got to see his old teammate again, lol.

  • rikajara said:

    Can’t wait till chapter 382 comes out!!

    the picture scares me with the 5 of them and then jiraiya.. i would hate to see him become an evil zombie

  • rikajara said:

    testing

  • rikajara said:

    damnit!

  • rikajara said:

    testing again…

  • rikajara said:

    one more time…

  • Sannin Jiraiya said:

    shikimaru its hanzou i think =]

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    Yeah. Honzou was the guy that summoned Salamanders and gave J-dude’s unit their title as Sannins. ^-^
    Question: Would the sage of the six paths be older than the Kyuubi or the other way around? The Sage’s animal-ish ears makes me think that he(/she?) could have been the mixed spawn of the kyuubi.

  • scrubby said:

    I very seriously dout that pein is there fighting Jaraiya but using dead ninjas to fight for him and he’s sitting somewhere else controling them like puppets to do his dirty work. Example was when Pein told kisame that he better be glad that he show him and Itachi how to do a dead soul transfer jutsu that allows the user to give the dead person any percentage of there chakra to judge how strong they was going to be, but both Itachi and Kisame only used 30% when fighting the leaf village ninja’s on there way save Gaara.

  • scrubby said:

    Pein could be giving the dead ninja’s 100% each with him using some of the chakra from the bijuu’s that’s already captured. what do u think about that?

  • noname said:

    but i don’t think pain is strong enough to use the chakra from the bijuu

  • noname said:

    remmeber? didn’t they say that after they capture all the bijuu they have to figure out a way to use them b/c they are impossible to use

  • Chidori vs Rasengun said:

    no name pein has to be strong as hell. How else would he be able to conrol all the people underneath him. If they were stronger being the bad guys they are the would kill him in a without thinking to be the leader.

    I think this whole pein fight is being thought out by people way to much. Dead ninja fighting like peins been stalking Jiraya this whole time to settle the score of leaving him. I think its all about the Rinnegan and the tricks it has that we dont know about yet. Look at the Sharinguns Doujutsu who the hell knew it could do all it can. Like opening up different dimensions and sucking things in. The Rinnegan beind better than that means its got some sick tricks waiting to be seen. They arnt bloodline traits for nothing people. They are rair and bad ass for a reason.

  • Yellow Flash said:

    I think J-Sama lives. I don’t know what in the world he can possibly do in order to live, but I hope he does. It would be a sad day in Konoha if he passes. This would result in 2 sannin down… 1 to go. Uh oh Tsunade, how’s her luck goin now?

    FINALLY SOMEONE AFTER 5 HOURS! well tsunades luck was always bad. naruto will go beserk!

    Forget that! Why isn’t anybody posting on the other blogs???

    i think naruto must use kyuubi chakra it’s his only chance to win against tobi

  • SakuSasu Fan said:

    I Love Naruto The Program its so GREAT :D

    xxx vist my other fansite http://gaara.startje.be

  • Fugakure said:

    i wonder if the kyuubi had a previous jinchuuriki
    perhaps the sage of six paths was it.
    it would be interesting.
    when reading about all the bijuu, it says a few times that all the other bijuu(besides kyuubi) feared the 8 tails. i wonder what manner of being the eight tails is. i thought for a while that it was a snake and that Orochimaru might have been the jinchuuriki, but why would akatsuki allow him to be in their organization without extracting the eight tails. plus hes pretty much dead, or so it seems.

  • scrubby said:

    Tobi is going to be harder than what most people think because i think he is being used as a detour for Sasuke and Itachi to have there brotherly love meeting?

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    TOM is probably fed up with all the time it’s taking to capture Naruto, so he’s gonna’ try and do it himself. It’ll be interesting to see if TOM starts beating the snot out of the Konoha team. And we could be close to finding out TOM’s true identity! ^_^

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Why would Tobi go after Naruto now just after telling Pein that it was his job only a couple of mangas ago??

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    i think tobi knows that pain is fichtning jiraya so he is going in his place or pain planned to go later

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    Well, Pein’s more that a little bit busy with trying to slaughter J-man and TOM’s already there. So why not do it himself?

  • justin said:

    you know, it never really says how the bodies of all the uchiha clan members were disposed of.

  • justin said:

    even though all the evidence points to obito, TOM’s body could be a different uchiha’s body, maybe Shisui

  • Fugakure said:

    just a thought, but the mask that tobi wears kinda looks to be the color of the nine-tailed fox and resembles a swirl of all the tails combined. nine tails swirled together.

  • Fugakure said:

    i beleive that the sixth element is space/time, yin-yang, the void, somthing of that nature.

  • abitofCRAAAZYgirl said:

    Well, I’ve got some idea about Tobi, that he can be one of those immortal guys, I mean found his way like that one, Kakuzu if I’m not mistaking, who stole people’s hearts, and that he has some business to Naruto, I wander weather it’s only about Kuubi or there’s also something else…
    As for Peine, I think it’s gonna be Yahiko, who stole the ability of Rinnegan somehow or both of them in one body to encrease the force or Nagato, who killed Yahiko and put his Rinnegan in his body and is controlling all that from the distance… anyway I dunno.
    One more thing, I’m a new one here so could you tell me when the next chapter is coming out?

  • sharingan leader said:

    well the mask he wears is also maybe because of his face but fugakure u could be right to. FINALLY THERE ARE SO MANY COMMENTS

  • abitofCRAAAZYgirl said:

    Please please PLEASE tell me when the next chapter is going to be!!!!!!! PLEaSE!!!!!!

  • sharingan leader said:

    god! there were around 256 comments in 2 days in the last blog, look at this one 133 comments in 3 days! wait ER NEfarious when did tobi get to the tom vs jariaya fight?

  • sharingan leader said:

    look crazy girl i really dont when but my guess is thursday or friday, they all come out torwards the end of the week.

  • abitofCRAAAZYgirl said:

    Thanks.

  • Aki said:

    just some kinda theory about TOM.
    wasn’t obitos favorite colour orange?
    (look at his googles)
    in comparison tobis mask is orange as well

  • elerium said:

    guys please stop shouting about the frequency and size of the comments – we are here not to achieve numbers but to talk about Naruto, which we like so much.

  • Aki said:

    “And the process of getting the Mangekyou is still very vague. Kakashi has it, but he didn’t KILL Obito. Possibly there’s a differen’t “path(s)” to achieving the Mangekyou?”

    I think Kakashi COPIED the MS. I watched the anime and Itachi gave a comment on Kakashis analysis. This analysis can just be given of someone who possesses the MS himself and now Itachis phrase:”Kakashi-san, you couldn’t have…” if you complete it it should end with”…copied it”. this makes sense if you think of Kakashis nickname “Kakashi the copy ninja”

  • Bob said:

    well, couldn’t it just as easily be:
    “Kakashi-san, you couldn’t have… achieved it.”?

  • Bob said:

    @sharingan leader
    Cut back on the CAPS, frankly it’s annoying. And it’s the quality, not the quantity of comments that matter.

  • Aki said:

    i think if it was “achieved” Itachi wouldn’t have been that shocked and yet there is only this “friend-killing” thing to achieve it

  • Aki said:

    and earlyer Kakashi mentioned that all people close to him were dead which Itachi surely knew so Kakashi can’t have killed his friend ans so my only logic conclusion is that Kakashi copied it

  • Bob said:

    It’s pretty much subjective though since it’s arguing just ‘how’ surprised Itachi was. And if Kakashi did copy it, why did he gain completely new abilities and eye design?

  • elerium said:

    come on guys, is clear that Kakashi didnt kill anyone, especially any of his friend.s Now, it doesn’t really matter how exactly Kakshi activated his MS – all we know is that he took some time for preparing it. So it definitely has to do with the way molding the chakra correctly etc. What we can state from this fact – there is another way of achieving MS than by killing your friend, i am not sure Sasuke knows that Kakashi has MS – it would be quite interesting for him to understand that – maybe he would not get so sucked up in Itachis games..

  • Aki said:

    Kakashi isn’t that kind of person who would even take in consideration to use such a jutsu plus he could just have copied the basics which led to the new eye design. also Kakashi is considered a genius. maybe he made up his own type of mangekyou sharingan with the informations he got frfom his encounter with Itachi

  • elerium said:

    Aki – this is a guess I am most likely to believe. Its probably not so uber-everything like Itachis or any other Uchihas’..

  • J-sama said:

    Kakashi’s mangekyou is nothing like Itachi’s if you’ve noticed. Kakashi just calls it that ’cause he could’n't come up with a better name. Itachi’s MS is a form of genjutsu & Kakashi’s is a time-space-thingy-jutsu. So I don’t think Kakashi copied it.

  • Aki said:

    guess you’re right. that mental torture of tsukiyomi seems just freakin strong. so in comparison Kakashis MS lacks the variety of Itachis.
    damn i really liked this copy-theory

  • DanC1110 said:

    The development of a Mangekyou Sharingan is a psychological procedure. I imagine that the jutsu the eye allows you to use either correspond to the conditions under which you gained the eye or the pattern in the eye itself. Itachi’s is a spiraling pinwheel that looks like a hypnotic wheel, so it would be used for mind techniques. Kakashi’s is a sharper, edgier one, so it is suited for attacks. I don’t know what Sasuke’s will look like, although I’ve included my preliminary design in my new avatar.

  • Yellow Flash said:

    I believe Kakashi did achieve the MS. Itachi was shocked because it threw him off to see someone that is not of the Uchiha bloodline continue to develop their unique Kekkei Genkai. Kakashi is a genius, but it has been said before that the Sharingan “cannot” copy any Kekkei Genkai.

    Think of this… is it possible that since Kakashi has the Sharingan, he is slowly being able to develop the abilities of a true Uchiha? It kinda makes sense that as time goes on, the ability is able to be increased, and his body is able to adjust to “fuse” with the Sharingan.

  • Yellow Flash said:

    In that sense alone, Kakashi has been able to make the Sharingan his own.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Yellow Flash, along those lines , I remember Kakashi no Itachi saying that the use of the Sharingan puts a lot of strain on the body and the Uchihas are genetically stronger/tougher/ whatever you want to call it that allows them to use their sharingan without having to endure the fatigue we see Kakashi endue everytime he uses his Sharingan be it three tomed or MS.

  • sharingan leader said:

    sorry bob about the caps, also kakashi figured out that the ms that itachi uses makes your eyesight really bad, if you notice itachi always has his sharingan on, its only once where you dont see him with the sharingan its when itachi is finished using the ms on kakashi in book 16. so i guess the sharingan makes itachis eyesight like a normal eye.

  • sithhokage said:

    Hey BOB….I read from Wikipedia that Jiraiya was transformed to the sixth Pein body to replace the one he killed and sent to Tsunade! Is this true?!

  • sharingan leader said:

    hold on, what do i type in wikipedia to read that? tell me please

  • Gohosku said:

    we dont know that for sure yet..

  • sharingan leader said:

    thats what im saying i just want to know where he got that info from.

  • sithhokage said:

    sharingan leader just do a naruto search there and then scroll and click on jiraiya link.

  • sithhokage said:

    I just read it today..if you dont believe me check it out yourselves..

  • sharingan leader said:

    i didnt see it hmm… interesting…hmm…

  • sithhokage said:

    dang…sharingan leader just do a jiraiya search on Wikipedia and look at the PLOT section…at the end it says super pervert was transformed.

  • sharingan leader said:

    hmm……interesting…..hmm……couldnt find it anywhere for some reason. hmm…..

  • noname said:

    can someone explain to me how the key to the seal works? the one that was left by minato to jiraiya

  • Bob said:

    “I read from Wikipedia that Jiraiya was transformed to the sixth Pein body to replace the one he killed and sent to Tsunade! Is this true?!”

    The problem is Anybody can edit a Wikipedia article. Take a moment to think about it… the next chapter won’t come out til next thursday… how could anybody know what’s gonna happen except Kishi – who I doubt spends his spare time editing naruto wiki pages

  • sharingan leader said:

    hold on bob, how do u know the next chapter is coming out thursday?

  • Bob said:

    uh, because that’s usually when it always comes out… unless Kishi takes a break or something

  • Gohosku said:

    cause its a weekly manga and unless something happens it comes out every week..

  • Gohosku said:

    opps sorry didnt see u answered that =/.

  • sharingan leader said:

    ok thanks for the answer guys. hmm….interesting…….hmm

  • rasengan or chidori?? said:

    so im guessing kishi is the writer for the naruto mangas??

  • Bob said:

    kishi is short for kishimoto as in Masashi Kishimoto, yes, the writer/artist of the Naruto manga

  • Fugakure said:

    if the theorie of TOM being obito turns out to be true, does that necesarily mean that Kakashi and Tobi will have the same Mangekyou Sharingan?

  • sharingan leader said:

    fugakure, this has nothing to do what we r talking about right now but what avatar is better this new one or the one i had before?

  • sharingan leader said:

    never mind forget that last comment

  • Siskin said:

    This is going way back… but Pein has a habit of taking people he/she cares about and making them evil zombies… wait…
    Forget you not Jiraiya because you’re not that menacing with only one arm… although I believe he has his right arm so he can still write books but I believe ninja need to be ambedextoruse.
    And sixth hokage… wikipedia can be changed to say silly things… stick to the manga.

  • sharingan leader said:

    hey siskin, what do u mean by “but pein has a habit of taking people he/she cares about and making them evil”?

  • Siskin said:

    I guess I was thinking of Yahiko as the evil zombie because Pein said Yahiko was dead.
    I said “he/she” because God transcends gender in the christian tradition anyway. I mean I’m coming from a Catholic background here… but I have read of for Paul Tillich’s stuff… although don’t ask me because I forget. I had a professor who was a feminist and big into artifical intelligence and the god and stuff… anyway… she wrote a book about frankenstien and the hebrew golem myth and artificial intelligence… LONG story short… god transcends gender and if Pein has become god in the sense of the omnipotent being… ANyway…
    that’s why I referred to pein as “he/she” because of transcendance.
    also Konan is evil even though she may not be an evil zombie.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    I think that because Pein is a person or a material Being he is more under the catagory of Idol rather than G0d. Or god in the sense of like Zues who was a god while Athena was a female god, i.e. goddess.

  • sharingan leader said:

    hmm……interesting……..hmm…..interesting……..hmm…

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    there were 3 different kekei genkai techniques in the MS itachi has amaratsu kakashi has that dimension traveler thing and i think tobi has the 3th

    i dony know the name of kakashi’s techniqe and the other one

  • cursed seal chidori said:

    who da hell is pein!!!!?!?!?!?!

    (damn these cliffhangers)

  • Shadow Myst said:

    I was thinking while reading the other posts, never posted before though, so bare with me. Say TOM really is Obito, that could explain how Kakashi was able to obtain the MS. Instead of Kakashi being the one to trigger the initial activation, Obito could of been the one to meet the requirements, and because Kakashi and Obito have the same eye “set”, Kakashi’s MS was formed from what Obito did. I don’t know if that theory was mentioned at all prior

  • rasenshuriken sharingan said:

    Does Pien really is one of those guys?… i mean although he really is using the first body which we have seen during J-sama’s infiltration but was that really his body i mean his true body…. after all j-sama didn’t see Pien’s original face… correct me if I’m wrong ok…

  • Fugakure said:

    i think pain might be the incarnation of yama (go to wikipedia if you want to know who that is), and therefore he would have access to all dead bodies, allowing him to animate anyone he wants. that doesnt explain how all the bodies are of someone that jiraiya has met before though… hmmm.

  • Fugakure said:

    another thing i found, alot of the animals that pain summoned correlate to the “mounts” or the vahana of the hindu gods. maybe he is a “messiah” or something of that nature.

  • Fugakure said:

    goin back to the yama thing, yama was said to be the first man, and the sage of six paths was the first ninja… so… maybe…

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    nice theory Shadow Myst i never toucht about that but it makes sence now wy kakashi has the ms

  • Aki said:

    “Instead of Kakashi being the one to trigger the initial activation, Obito could of been the one to meet the requirements”.
    I don’t belief this.Wasn’t Kakashi Obitos best friend? Although they hated each other first it reminds me of the relationship of Sasuke and Naruto who nevertheless were friends.

  • Fugakure said:

    yama is also the king of hell, maybe that is how pain is able to summon the king of hell statue to absorb tha bijuu

  • Fugakure said:

    yama is often shown to have piercings, yet another correlation

  • Fugakure said:

    no one ever agrees with me…

  • Gohosku said:

    LOL! Ill agree with you Fugakure!!!!

  • Pine Siskin said:

    MS again? do we need a blog dedicated to this or is their already one…
    I think it’s clear that the MS is something that a few different people have developed… I think when Itachi fought Kakashi (maybe the first time?) he mentioned how Kakashi had made the sharingan his own err… something to that effect.
    Kakashi started out with two tomoes and worked his way to three and it only makes sense that he could push it to the MS. The thing about killing your best friend… well… I’m sure Kakashi feels that way about obito because he feels he should have been there for him. BUT, I think it’s the pain equal to loosing your best friend that allows someone to use the MS. It’s kind of a theme kishimoto has going… with Pein and his name and the pain he has to go through to use the rinnengan.

    About Yama, I don’t know if I’d believe what was on Wikipedia for that because someone may have just put it on because they were a big naruto fan. but it does sound interesting if it is true because I don’t think Kishi pulled Pein out of thin air…

  • Naruto Hero said:

    There have been no comments for hours! Well, I think itachi has that everlasting fire thing, kakashi has that time and space thing, but I am confused about tobi. I wonder what he has.

  • Siskin said:

    well… either it could be one of the 6 elements or it’s fire or something to do with space time… because Itachi has the fire and also has a MS move that stops time. I really think Haku was onto something when he said that the sharingan has two abilities… the peircing eye and the hypnotic eye.
    Anyway…

    I was talking about necklaces a while ago… and I’ve com to the conclusion that Itachi’s necklace has three circles on it while Pein seems to have spikes or something so they can’t be the same necklace.

    But I still wonder if Yahiko is wearing the necklace of the Sage… and I wonder if Madara was wearing a necklace and itachi might have it on…

  • scrubby said:

    Well i forgot about the two types of eyes Siskin that’s a good reminder i think Yahiko body might be used by Nagato or Pein but either way Yahiko probally got killed by some ninjas trying to prove to Pein he can be as strong as he is. And before Pein could help him out he was killed.

  • scrubby said:

    the next manga have to go back to Sasuke and Itachi part and i wouldn’t be surprise to hear something more about Madara or Tobi plans for the both of them to hopefully clear up some missing parts to the reason why Sasuke was left alive.

  • Naruto Hero said:

    #200 comment!!!!!! woo!!!!!!!!

  • Naruto Hero said:

    aw crap u beat me 2 it

  • scrubby said:

    just a crazy thought but looking back at the tomos on the wall behind Itachi in manga #380 picture 11 actaully shows 8 tomos not including the two on the chair could that be tied into the 8 tailed beast Orochi by someway and share Orochi same goals to kill kyuubi. Just a thought?

  • Fugakure said:

    yet another pain=yama incarnation theorie evidence, kishi has mentioned that he was influenced by dragonball, and king yama is a character on dbz. its sorta a stretch… but i like theorizing! its fun!

  • Fugakure said:

    scrubby, one of the tomoes could be out of sight.. let me see.. yep looks like eight. hmmm… maybe there are two tomoes behind itachis seat.

  • scrubby said:

    as big as those tomoes are there isn’t any room for two to be behind the chair.u think?

  • Nameless said:

    There are only seven not including the two on the chair.. How did you count eight?

  • Uchiha Shisui said:

    Hey guys … do you think that the Uchiha eye could achieve more than 3 tomoes after the MS i know its hard to imagine because Madara didn’t have anymore tomoes as far as we know and he was the ultimate Uchiha of the sharingan… but yea i could imagine 4 tomoes… and also whenever Itachi uses his MS you dont actually see the MS form but i think u do for Kakashi … but anyway im just spitball’n ideas on the tomoes aspect.

  • Fugakure said:

    maybe instead of 4 tomoes in each eye, the sharingan state above the ms could be an extra, or third eye, placed somewhere on the forehead. that would then add up to nine tomoes, equal to the tails of the kyuubi. there is some connection between kyuubi and the sharingan, what exactly could it be?

  • Fugakure said:

    i mean, there a lot of anime and manga charaters that have a third eye, and as far as we’ve seen kishimoto often mimics other manga, and besides kidomaru in his 2nd state, we havent seen a character with a third eye or “mind’s eye” to my knowledge.

  • Fugakure said:

    the sage of six paths has a necklace that resemble the Yasakani no Magatama, an important imperial artifact

  • Fugakure said:

    does it ever say in the manga that the rinnegan is a kekkai genkai?
    it may just randomly appear.
    Or… whoever is the incarnation of the sage of six paths…

  • Fugakure said:

    …has the rinnegan

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    they don’t say the rinnegan is a kekkai genkai because (for as we know) only pain has it
    but dojutsu’s are kekkei genkai this confuses me

  • Gaara-of-the-dessert said:

    It could be that madera has tree eyes and with nine tomeos he could summon the kyuubi.

  • chidori said:

    pein is nagato

  • Fugakure said:

    i know pein is nagato, what im sayin is maybe NAGATO is the reincarnation of the sage of six paths, therefore PEIN is too

  • Fugakure said:

    the rinnegan could be a recessive gene, like highly recessive, therefore only showing up occasionally

  • Fugakure said:

    i think now that sasuke wields the kusanagi, he somehow is tied to the 8 tails

  • Fugakure said:

    the story of orochimaru and sasuke is very similar to the story of how yamata no orochi awaits a genius of the Yagami clan. i think that Orochimaru himself is the bijuu, not the jinchuuriki. He only needs to be awakened to fight the kyuubi again. Since the kyuubi is in naruto and orochimaru is mostly in sasuke, the final battle is probably going to be between sasuke and naruto.

  • Fugakure said:

    wait a minute.. duh!!!

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    sasuke kulled orochimaru before he could go in his body so orochimaru cant be in sasuke but i think he is inside kabuto look at manga chapter 356-357

    SCRUBBY… You’re right!
    You can see the eighth tomoe’s tail sticking up from behind the chair!

    Take a look at this (i didn’t photoshop the tail in although I did photo shop Tobi and Kakashi face to face)
    http://wm19.inbox.com/thumbs/f5_3e36_f476f7_oJ.jpg.thumb

  • Siskin said:

    wow… and right above the picture of Itachi are the hills… possibly depicting the location of the sleeping snake?
    It makes sense that the eight tails is trying to destroy the kyuubi… And that Sasuke is there to awaken the eight tails to do battle against naruto and the kyuubi again…

    also the hill they are on could resemble snake coils.

    I think it is not a coincedence that the Diedara looking Pein found Jiraiya, if you remember he is Pein’s body that is meant for “Seek and Destroy.” Not only can it summon from any realm but it can go into any realm like the barrier Jiraiya put himself in.

    Two possible outcomes for next chapter:
    1) Jiraiya is the new “Seek and Destroy” Pein [which would fit his actual life seeing how one of his specialties is being a spy and finding people/information].
    or 2) And I am hoping for this, that Pa-dukes Toad took Jiraiya and peaced outa there the same way that Ma toad did. That would be cool, cause we could move to another story thats going on and Jiraiya would disappear for a while in the Toad-Country to heal up and then reveal the true identity of Pein.

    I was just thinking, if Jiraiya is taken over by Pein then does that mean that Pa Toad will also be?? — An interesting battle down the road would be Pein (Jiraiya and Pa Toad body) against Naruto with Ma and lets say Bra Toad. Just a guess, take it or leave it.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Also I wonder how much Naruto has learned about this Toad place that Jiraiya went to to get the prophecy and it is also the place that all the Toad summons live.

    It would be a cool move by Kishi to have Naruto go there and disappear for a bit… maybe that will be the second time skip. I’d like to see Naruto go there and us be there with him and he comes back and has to save the world with his old buddies after Akutsuki has made it into some sort of post apocolyptic place.

  • Nameless said:

    Hmm it does look like an eighth tomoe.. The tomoes are surrounding the word “fox” though, and they resemble the tails of a fox. So most likely, it’s reference to the Kyuubi and not the Orochi. Also.. I don’t think the tailed beasts need to be “awakened” as they are most likely inside the jinchiriki.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Let me know what y’all think of this:
    the black weapon that Jiraiya was stuck with is made out of the same material that all the peircings are made out of. That is how he can inhabit their bodies. Whatever material it is it messes up a person’s chakra to the point where it paralyzes them.
    Also, if you look at the picture thats after Pa toad pulls it out of Jiraiya’s shoulder it shows that Pein still has the weapon in his hand.
    Now the fact that we have never seen any sort of weapon like this we can conclude that it is something Pein either found/created/summoned and that if it is in your body you can’t control your chakra but you still produce it.
    Not only will it then allow for Pein to do a technique kind of like what Itachi and Kisame do, and we kind of see in the fight between Orochimaru and Sarutobi when Orochimaru sacrafices two sound ninja so that he can control the first two hokages.

    Another thing it shows us is that it is a material thing and in turn a new element. the 6th element.

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    Nice! That sounds awesome. And it sounds exactly like something Kishi would do! ^_^
    Or it could be the same kind of black chakara that the kyuubi used, only solid like what Sasuke does with the Chidori. It would introduce the sixth element, too.

  • rasengan or chidori?? said:

    ShikamaruIsTheMan ur like so freakin figuring this out…ur theories make a whole lotta sense and i agree with everything u’ve said

  • scrubby said:

    Siskin i never paid attention to the pictures with mountains in it but u might have a point there that could actaully be the place where Orochi lies, maybe Sasuke is the only one able to release Orochi so Akatsuki need him to release the 8 tail because threw my research the first 7 been captured so far.

  • scrubby said:

    Shikamaru that a good theory there about the black weapon used to stab Jaraiya that really make alot of sense good job my manz :)

  • Bob said:

    I second that, good stuff Shikaman! You get 200 bob points!

  • Bob said:

    Looks like there are probably eight tomoes on the tapestry, but why is the character “fox” instead of “snake” for Orochi?

  • Naruto Hero said:

    So has anyone concluded who pain or tobi is? im dying 2 know

  • rj said:

    I dont think j sama will die at this battle, there are so many way i thought he can escape to such various attacks. one maybe is the clone jutsu, another will be replacement jutsu. it can be that j sama knows how to control a puppet of himself, where he designed it as if you cant identify the true j sama

  • rj said:

    its really obvious that naruto will be the only one to defeat pein, that’s for sure, as what ive read, the author of this manga already in mind the ending of the story, so what will you expect, of course naruto will turn as victorious in the end, for this the elders will decide and make naruto as the 6th hokage. peace then will reign all over the countries

  • NSS7 said:

    jiraiya is going to die, hes already losing alot of blood

  • rj said:

    My theory regarding this, is that j sama will not die yet, here he will discover the true identity of pein, by his most powerful jutsu just like the 3rd and fourth, j sama emerge to survive and escape pein, but maybe this will be kept for a while and at the final battle, j sama will show up and tell everything to naruto all he knew about pein and the akatsuki organization. Also, j sama will be the one to inspire naruto to find discover his true power

  • rj said:

    do you think j sama will lost with that not so powerful techniques, yes its true he lost a lot of blood, but hermits doesnt die that easy, if j sama die, the story will simply predictable, there maybe a twist to this battle for us to see

  • Nameless said:

    I wonder.. If the Kyuubi was summoned, does that mean that the rest of the Bijuu were summoned also? If that were the case.. who summoned them? You think Madara summoned them all?

  • rj said:

    no wonder sasuke and naruto will help each other after itachi tells everything of what really happened. Maybe sasuke possess a certain identity that very important to awaken the true power of the kyuubi inside naruto, or the other way around to let naruto fully control the nine tailed state without losing his consciousness.

  • rj said:

    what is bijuu?

  • Siskin said:

    good point! if the Kyuubi was summoned the other tailed animals might need to be summoned thus they exist in some other place (kinda like Toad mountain)…
    Now… it was said that the tomoes around the fox were either the tails or…
    For a little bit I thought it might be some type of seal… Although seals usually have the larger part of the tomoe pointing towards the center. The tomoes on the sharingan also point towards the center…
    And the fox is the one that defeated the snake and so it could depict it’s target…
    I really think it’s Akatsuki’s way of releasing Orochi. It makes sense that orochi would feed of sasuke’s anger and awaken it so Itachi could capture it.

  • Siskin said:

    Rj,
    on the right up at the top of this page their’s a list of blog entries. I would suggest reading Bijuu blogs 1 and 2 by scrubby and J-sama.

  • Siskin said:

    Rj, you could just click on this
    http://www.narutohurricane.com/narutoblog/2007/12/05/the-bijuu-part-1/

    and my theory is that it’s the snake eating the fox. The small ends look like fangs.

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    nice theory the snake (i always forget his name) hates kyuubi because kyuubi is stronger

  • naruto kyuubi said:

    i wonder if he somtimes fichts with the other heads

  • Gaara-of-the-dessert said:

    I have found a site with the script.Not yet proved but it has interesting theories.

    go here to read a very good theorie that makes a lot of sense

  • Naruto Hero said:

    nobody has commented for hours!!!

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    That tends to happen in the middle of the week, while most of the site’s regulars are bogged down by work. ^_^

  • NSS7 said:

    im really bored

  • scrubby said:

    Siskin i never thought about that pic depicting Kybuui as the target that good :)

  • Nameless said:

    Why do you guys think that Itachi is trying to “awaken” the eight tailed/headed Orochi? Considering how the rest of the tailed beasts are sealed within humans.. What makes you think that the eight tailed one is still there, and not inside someone?

  • Siskin said:

    I would guess because it’s so powerful and big… the only reason why the 9-tails is in naruto is because Minato split it’s chakra… I’m going to make a wild guess that no one has ever been a jinchurichi for the 9tails before… and I’m willing to bet the same is for the eight-tails… although the eight-tails is kinda dead or something because the kyuubi half killed it…

    but that’s just a wild guess.

  • Shadow Shinobi said:

    the theory from Fugakure’s link would have to be the most detailed theory ive ever heard plus it all fits…

    i dunno how the hell he figured it out…

  • Sakamura Mikado said:

    I don’t know…some of these theories just seem wishful thinking…

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    I think the reason why Minato sealed only the Kyuubi’s light chakra is so what happened with Gaara wouldn’t happen to Naruto were the Jinchiriki took over him so easily.

    it could be the reason why we always see the Kyuubi behind a cage…for the most part other then when Sasuke got into Naruto’s head.

  • Naruto Hero said:

    here are some spoiler pics of 382. enjoy! trust me. ur gonna love it

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNIwvbP4ub8

  • Siskin said:

    has anyone seen that youtube thing where someone animated the manga and had a computer say what the people were suppose to say while making their mouths move? I thought it was pretty interesting

  • Nameless said:

    Man.. When someone starts reminiscing, it usually means they’re about to die.

  • Naruto Hero said:

    yeah. the maker of this video does this at the end of all his mangas. not his spoilers though. i will post that 2 when it gets 2 youtube. it comes a couple of hours before this

  • Siskin said:

    has anyone seen this?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrucLW-ly5U

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    yeah its like their life is flashing before them.

    Also, I wonder if Minato told Jiraiya how to teach Naruto the Shuriken/teleportation Jutsu that got him the name “Yellow Flash.” I forget the actual name. I only say this because it seems that the only jutsu Naruto really uses other than basic Gennin level stuff is the Rasengan. He hasn’t shown us any Jiraiya type jutsus like with oil, or spikey hair or anything like that.
    Also, I wonder if the Whirlpool Village, Naruto’s Mom’s people, had any type of special jutsus that Jiraiya taught Naruto.

    I started thinking about Whirlpools and I remebered from the anime episode when Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto were helping that kid win the race and he went underwater and used the Rasengan to create an underwater tornado/whirlpool and thought that was kinda coincidental.

  • Fugakure said:

    siskin’s link is f ing hilarious

  • NSS7 said:

    the link was kinda weird

  • Siskin said:

    There’s the 2nd and 3rd volume if you didn’t already find them…

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=QkcGkRY5gWw
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=C3mZCp67_xg

    I think it’s funny… and animation is awful but that’s kinda the point.

  • scrubby said:

    i think that if Jariaya dies the only way he’s going to get stronger is by the toads teaching him like they taught Jariaya and call me crazy but i been thinking and i think Sasuke is going to kill Pein because he having more traits of the Tengu Demon in him Pein abilities might be nullified by Sasuke abilities he might can interfere with Pein telpathic connection to his 6 drones and make Pein have to come and face him one-on-one.

  • NSS7 said:

    true but can kakashi MS trap him into a another demension

  • NSS7 said:

    but do sasuke have to kill all 6 pein

  • scrubby said:

    One more thought for everyone dealing with Sasuke is this. Ok with the curse seal in push some of his Tengu trait forward such as the wings and his color. If he was to somehow get more power infused in him, it would push more on the Tengu demon to the forefront and maybe this might be more of a reason for him to have a demon beast chakra sealed inside him like naruto using two seals so he can control it because the Tengu Demon was very powerful individaul in his time. That would make the finial battle with Naruto more equal huh?

  • scrubby said:

    probally in a way of speaking disable Pein from using them in battle.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    Wouldn’t have itachi have already challenged Pein? I mean he’s always talkin about measuring his container and such. I think the fact that itachi takes order from Pein and that Jiraiya said that the Rinnegan is said to be the strongest of the 3 eyes – sharingan, byakugan, and rinnegan – proves that Sasuke isn’t the one thats gonna kill Pein. Naruto will because he is the main guy. Also, i’m sure everyone thought that Sasuke was gonna kill Gaara after he got his curse seal.

    I know this was brought up a real long time ago, but I really hope Naruto shows more of what he learned with Jiraiya over that 2.5 years cause I’m sick of Sasuke showing all his new abilities and Naruto only improving his rasengan and reaching tailed forms. I mean getting into 1, 2, 3, and 4-tailed states is cool and all but in my mind its equivilant to Sasuke reaching the second stage of the Cursed Seal.

    After I reread this I just realized that Naruto isn’t gonna show us shit, it wouldn’t be his style. I mean he pretty much know shadow clone and rasengan and shureiken rasengan and the basic stuff everybody knows from the academy.

  • scrubby said:

    Example how Shikamaura is going to have to fight the sound village female ninja by taking control of of her drone and using them against her i think that is a good example of what i meant by the past comment my manz NSS7

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    If you think about it, Sasuke showing such control with his curse seal is comparable to the control – or lack there of – that Naruto shows over his Jinchuuriki seal.

    And Scrubby, I agree that his tengu blood is accentuated when in 2nd seal form. But I think that if we are going to accept that the Tengu and the Hyuuga girl are the bloodlines of the Uchiha then in a way every Uchiha has Tengu/Demon blood in them. So in a way he already has demon blood in him and to get stronger he develops his sharingan and body to bring its power out.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    whatever, don’t know who those sound village femaile ninja’s are but I gotta go to work… and i don’t hit girls.

  • scrubby said:

    Well the reason why Itachi hasn’t challenged Pein is because he don’t have as much as Sasuke when it comes to having more of the Tengu Demon genes and trait in him as Sasuke does because if Naruto had to defeat Diedara in a one-on-one battle i can’t see him winning when he was caught in Itachi clone MS and could even beat that so that’s why i think Sasuke will defeat Pein.

  • scrubby said:

    lol

  • scrubby said:

    About the Uchiha bloodline it was said that over time it was deluted by foriegner marrying into the clan that’s why all of the Uchiha Clan don’t have the ability to do MS.

  • scrubby said:

    wow is anyone here?

  • rj said:

    Itachi based on what i reviewed the last chapters, cant be that bad as well as sasuke..the theory about the genes in sasuke can be true, who knows, sasuke is also a jinchuuriki…and itachi was the only one who discovered it, recalling the first part of naruto, itachi was the one training sasuke, and that time itachi was already an expert shinobi…once in their practice maybe sasuke showed a sign of being a jinchuuriki and sasuke seems innocent about it…as what the fox also stated, sasuke possess a chakra more evil than his, this maybe a sign to which madara also sealed the other demon beast to a child belonging to his clan… also during madara’s time kyuubi is as what i think related to him.

  • scrubby said:

    rj- thinking about it Tobi watching Sasuke fighting against Diedara say that the true power of the Sharingan was shown i not ruling out the possiblity that Sasuke could’ve been seal with a Demon also. Interesting?

  • scrubby said:

    Well Sasuke being a Jinchuuriki that can’t be right, because the only ones that can be classified as a Jinchuuriki is those who has a tailed beast seal inside themform what Lady Chio from the Sand Village explained to Naruto and other while chasing after Gaara.

  • rj said:

    Even if pein has the ability to extract the 8th tailed beast, the beast will kill him…and only the uchiha clan can control it will be tobi, that is why pein is underway to tobi…maybe at the end its naruto vs. the devil beast, and sasuke being fought by both tobi and pein, will release this devil monster…but since they are one so naruto will take part to break the bond..tobi will control it and pein will assist him…Jiraiya show up and help naruto to control his nine tailed state..maybe at the end jiraiya will finish the job to kill pein

  • scrubby said:

    “rj” This is just a thought i think people overlook the fact that the Kyuubi wasn’t “little” either and he’s sealed inside Naruto so Orochi wouldn’t be any different.

  • rj said:

    That will maybe, but as what i said who knows, there was a possibility that sasuke was sealed in by a demon beast as what the 4th hokage did to naruto, it may not be 4th hokage who did it, my suspect is madara since the demon fox knew him

  • Yamato-San said:

    Anyone had any luck on finding the Manga chapter for 382?

  • Yamato-San said:

    Naruto Shippuden 39 Subbed:

    http://www.veoh.com/videos/v16363328FtQwRqd

  • scrubby said:

    So u think that after Naruto was sealed with the Kyuubi that Madara sealed a demon into Sasuke to counter what the 4th Hokage did for the Leaf Village huh?

  • rj said:

    orochi knows that naruto possess a tailed beast, well, maybe he also suspect from the start that sasuke in same manner does have, but of different characteristics as that of the demon fox, putting a seal maybe can boost its power, this is just my theory though, orochi want sasuke to be the next container maybe to fully control the beast inside sasuke and used it to distract the goal of akatsuki…even during the fight of orochi and naruto, seems that he already familiar to some sort of transformation naruto has done…seems he tried to make naruto got angry to see what naruto got, he did it also to sasuke, right? but its not only the sharingan orochi want…why he put seal to sasuke

  • Yamato-San said:

    Orochimaru only wants sasuke because with the Sharingan, he can copy all the techniques of the world. Also, when he attacked Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke in the Forest Of Death during the Chuunin exams, he realized that naruto possesed the fox inside of him. Thats why he put the 5 pronged seal over the seal Minato placed on Naruto. The only reason Orochimaruo bothered Naruto is to see whether or not Naruto had control over his transformations, and to what extent could naruto use the fox’s power.

  • rj said:

    well, a sort of, maybe after jiraiya discover the identity of pein, their maybe next the story about how madara linked to the akatsuki, and how they also target sasuke..trying to go back the conversation of pein and tobi, seems that he warned the akatsuki to be more careful to naruto…this question plays on my mind? why tobi didnt help deidara?

  • rj said:

    if tobi has no need of sasuke, he spposed help deidara to defeat sasuke, even if deidara insist to fight alone…well, it will be possible that orochi hid this truth and let other know that his reason was to take over the sharingan of itachi…but the time skip did show the training of sasuke and naruto, only for some flashback with that of naruto and j sama

  • rj said:

    i mean did not show the trianing of sasuke and naruto

  • Jak said:

    Yamato-San, thx for the Ship. ep 39 link

  • GRRR!!! said:

    what if pein was naruto because pein used that black charkra weopan thingy and the kyubi has both light and dark charkra ( Just guessin )

  • Yamato-San said:

    Not a problem Jak, I usually go on an all out search of a few sites that I know will have the episodes subbed by about 9:00PM EST. I can usually find the Manga too, but no luck this time, guess I’ll have to check it out later today.

  • ShikamaruIsTheMan said:

    What if the Pein in the top middle ends up being Juugo’s Pops, that would be a cool little twist.

  • scrubby said:

    J- man is back to life to really show those Pein drones some real power now. lol

  • Fugakure said:

    jiraiya died

    naruto was named by jiraiya

    that was his great decision

    how gay

  • Fugakure said:

    i have been reading around, and it seems that most narutards think that madar uchiha was evil or is evil(tobi). i think the reason hat madara fought the first is because shodai hokage found out that madara was going to seek out the kyuubi’s help in getting greater power, like sasuke with orochimaru. That may be why kakashi said that the battle between the first and madara was similar to the battle between sasuke and naruto. Madara was seeking power to destroy his tengu father to keep his father from taking over his body, thus becoming extremely powerful. in my mind, Madara is a hero and Tobi is NOT madara.

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    Or could Madara have WANTED his tengu father’s power? The first could have been stopping him from gaining an infinite source of power by giving up his body, kinda’ like Naruto trying to keep Sasuke from becoming Orochimaru’s next body. And I don’t know if Tobi’s Madara, but I’m convinced he’s Obito. ^_^;;

  • Fugakure said:

    i believe that he is obito too. makes real sense

    in this link, i have a pic of tobi after he revealed he has the sharingan.

    does anyone know what is hanging by his sides? it seems to be some type of weapon, but it could be something else, perhaps something that may indicate who the heck he is.

  • Fugakure said:

    he also has two cloaks on in that pic

  • Fugakure said:

    http://i19.tinypic.com/8avxiya.jpg

    if you look at this pic, the person talking to konan and pain MAY NOT BE Tobi, therefore there is and extra, unknown leader that may be speaking through tobi. It could be Sojobo, the king of the Tengu, therefore he would have the power of madara… sorta. i dunno, it just looks like those things are astral projections.

  • Fugakure said:

    i think that the first hokage is the real villain. thinkk about it, who else can control the tailed beast? madara must have found out about this and wanted to stop him before it happened. he must have founded the village of leaves to have a base of operations. okay okay, i know, this is a stretch .

    Kishi is Jiraiya. He is writing a story about Naruto. It reads like an autobiography.
