Naruto: Chapter 388 – Sharingan in a Jar

9 February 2008 488 Comments


Post Author: Bob

So in continuation of last week’s ultra-cliffhanger of a chapter, we find Sasuke screaming in agony after Itachi used his eye-gouge-no-jutsu to forcefully liberate Sasuke’s left eyeball. Like the cold bastard that he is, Itachi goes on to explain to Sasuke how he was destined to be pwned because he didn’t get the Mangekyou upgrade he told him to get. Meanwhile, Sasuke writhes in pain as he tries to verify his eyeball has indeed been yanked by Itachi.

Itachi seems to switch to his evil (eviler?) alter ego when he announces that he will be taking Sasuke’s second eyeball as well because the Naruto universe doesn’t need yet another mono-Sharingan character. Knowing that he just won’t be as emo as he used to be without his precious Sharingans, Sasuke gets crazy angry and activates his cursed seal (about time!).

naruto388-2.jpg

Itachi backs off and takes the time to put his newly pilfered eyeball in a special ninja pickle jar. He then taunts Sasuke about the gap between their powers because no other shinobi has ever possessed as awesome of a pickle jar as his. While Sasuke is distracted by the beauty of his jar, Itachi uses a clone to restrain Sasuke from behind and then goes for the second eyeball.

naruto388-3.jpg

Realizing that he might lose his fangirls if he loses both of his oh-so-sexy -eyes, Sasuke’s unleashes the full fury of his emo fury and goes full goth… I mean Cursed Seal level 2. Things get really interesting from here. From what I can figure, Itachi tries to stop Sasuke’s level 2 form by hitting him with a Tsukuyomi, but Sasuke resists it and cracks open Itachi’s alternate dimension – symbolized by the splitting and removal of the picture. This was seriously a whacked out sequence — hehe, good work Kishi.

Sasuke recovers back to reality, and it’s revealed that he didn’t lose his left eye after all (queue collective sigh of relief). And big surprise… it was all genjutsu… again. Sasuke falls to his knees in exhaustion. Zetsu, who has been playing peeping tom the whole time, thinks Itachi has won. But all bets are off when Itachi falls to his knees as well clutching his left eye. For a minute there I though his eyeball actually got gouged, but I guess it was just pain cause by overusing his Mangekyou abilities. Zetsu’s alternate personality seems to be unusually knowledgeable about the Sharingan and explains to his other half that Sasuke overcame the Tsukuyomi because Itachi underestimated how l33t his little brother was.

naruto388-5.jpg

The two brothers then exchange some boring lines about their “realities” again. But Zetsu senses Itachi preparing to use another of his trump cards. Itachi closes his left eye (possibly due to exhausting it or maybe this is part of the preparation), forms what looks like a Ram hand seal and prepares to perform the AMATERASU.

I hope you guys enjoyed my special editing of this week’s chapter. I thought I’d go a little wacky this time. Anyways, awesome chapter again and I’m sure a lot of you were pleased that Sasuke really didn’t lose his eye. Sasuke even demonstrated how powerful he has really become by overcoming Itachi’s Tsukuyomi technique. Take a look at what happens to Sasuke’s Sharingan just before Itachi hit him with the Tsukuyomi.

naruto388-7.jpg

It’s interesting that instead of transforming into a new Sharingan pattern, his pupil actually dilates until it touches the three tomoes. Is this Sasuke’s own form of the Mangekyou or something totally new entirely? Awesome stuff as always, let’s hope Itachi’s Amaterasu next chapter will make things even crazier!

    yea I’m first. Very funny Bob. I liked that.

  • eli987 said:

    Well I found something about Amaterasu here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaterasu

  • Sothe said:

    amaterasu is the technique Itach iused to break out of Jiraiyas giant flesh wall in episode 85……I dont know how many of you know that….But i Just found out.

  • Sothe said:

    After using It Itachi Needed to rest……I think hes going for a make it or break it…..next one could be the end of the fight..

  • TEMARI XD said:

    i rekon the next one will end it

  • Chaos said:

    I stumbled upon something …. In Shinto there are 3 Gods, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo. Susanoo, the god of wind killed an 8 headed snake monster named OROCHI (see a pattern emerging here?), and once Orochi was defeated, Susanoo took a Kusanagi sword from Orochi’s corpse (notice that the Kusanagi is also the type of sword Sasuke has)……..and MAYBE, only maybe, sasuke got the Mangekyo upon defeating Orochimaru.

  • Chaos said:

    I’m not saying that sasuke got the mangekyo Sharingan, but it is a theory that kishimoto might be using……but this could also be false, because if he had the mangekyou sharingan he could have used in the battle against Deidara.

  • Chaos said:

    I remembered this theory, from a forum about the mangekyou sharingan, but i can’t find tha goddamn site again.

  • thundergod4th said:

    I think Sasuke will kill Itachi in the next couple of chapters but I don’t think Sasuke will ever obtain the Mangekyou, unless he uses Kakashis route of getting it.

  • Chaos said:

    and i think i laughed about a half an hour on that “Itachi: Does this angle make me look fat?” or ” Gaze upon the awesomeness of mah pickle jar” :D :)

  • thundergod4th said:

    About chaos comment about the Tsukuyomi,Ametsaru and susanoo maybe susanoo is a ninjutsu/genjutsu aswell and Sasuke defeats Itachi with it. Just a guess

  • Sothe said:

    Bob you out did yourself with this, naruto has needed lightening up, its all so serious….but that provided some light Naruto comedy!

  • Nine said:

    Man i really wanted him to lose his eye. lol he’s winking at the ladies!

  • thundergod4th said:

    The pics are hilarious “does this angle make me look fat” that lne is the best.

  • Clarence123 said:

    i think that saskue might have unlocked another level of sharringan

  • xWeaselxWolfx said:

    lol this is hysterical
    itachi: this is the gap between our power
    GAZE APON THE AWSOMENESS OF MY NEW PICKLE JAR XD

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    So Bob for that Caption Contest are our Captions supposed to be somewhat like what you just did.

  • J-sama said:

    God, Bob, that was hiarious! Almost died… Great chapter review, as always!

  • Bob said:

    “So Bob for that Caption Contest are our Captions supposed to be somewhat like what you just did.”

    Yup, same idea. So far all the captions have been Naruto related, but they can be totally random and weird too. And don’t bother photoshopping text in or anything like, I can do that when a winner is selected.

  • eli987 said:

    yea it was really funny

  • Bob said:

    Hey, I like this rate of comments, we might not get flooded this time. Don’t forget about Siskin’s blog:
    http://www.narutohurricane.com/narutoblog/2008/02/08/naruto-manga-388-the-gap-between-our-power/

  • Bob said:

    I see some ppl were confused why their rank changed when they typed in a different name when they commented. In that case, the blog sees you as a new user even though you have the same avatar. To change your name and retain your rank, login, click on ‘Profile’ at the top, type in a name in the ‘Nickname’ box, and below it select your new name in ‘Display name publicly as’. Easy, right?

  • nine@tailed@girl said:

    bob, as usual, you did it again. :-) you again brought meaning to our boring and meaningless life. thanks so much. :-D those pics were awsome XD. the drywall joke, ” does this angle make me look fat” and “gaze upon the awsomeness of my pickle jar” was f***ing hilarious :-) :-D :-D :-D :-)

  • ZabuzatheGREAT said:

    kick Assssss Job Bob All Mighty…. that was really wacky……and eli987 I clicked your link and it was very intresting, maybe with amaterasu you don’t need the right eye maybe you just need the left one since the the goddess amaterasu was born from the left eye

  • thundergod4th said:

    Hey I was just wonderin how do you get your rank up on the site ??

  • E.R.Nefarious said:

    XD Sweet blog Bob! You’re one hell of a supreme overlord! ;D

  • Chaos said:

    thundergod4th….i’m wondering that also…….i think you have to comment to get your rank up, or Bob gives you a new rank….or become an author…….or somethin’ like that

  • thundergod4th said:

    how do you get the password to become an author then ? So many questions.

  • the 2nd hokage said:

    how can i get an account?????

  • the 2nd hokage said:

    im jus waiting them to get back to lady tsunade after jaraiya died

  • the 2nd hokage said:

    i want itachi to win i was mad when i found out it was a genjutsu.

  • Iruka said:

    I think that when sasuke’s eyes dilated they went to his own version of the ms. Unlike Itachi, Sasuke could trained super hard to come up with a higher level of the sharingan. He didn’t want to do it the tradition Uchiha way in killing your best friend. Kakashi found a way to change his sharingan so why can’t sasuke.

  • Newman said:

    Okay I was scared for a moment but then I realized that Even though Sasuki left the leaf village he is still a main character and it is highly unusual for a main character to lose his life ( Losing sharingan eye = life for sasuke) Sasuke is probably going to advance his cursed seal to a new level and then defeat Itachi with a high Voltage Chidori

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    No maybe that was because he was going in to itachis jutsu or hes on drugs sasuke! I think we need to have an intervention

  • Tensai-teki said:

    When Sasuke overcame Itachi’s Tsukiyomi why was Itachi holding his left eye(as to be in great pain ,why would this even cause him pain) ? The same eye that he took from Sasuke in the genjutsu ? Zetsu says that he didn’t get hit… he overcame it. How did Sasuke overcome it ?
    Two very important statements where made.
    1.Light Zetsu:how could someone with a regular sharingan beat someone with the Mangekyou ? indicating that Sasuke has the MS.
    Note: why did these words come from two different personas? why not have the light Zetsu make both of the comments ?
    2. Dark Zetsu: Sharingan is a tool that is only as powerful as the shinobi who uses it. Indicating that Sasuke does not have the MS .(I’m interpreting this as a powerful sharingan user can defeat a MS user if he is more/just as powerful)
    Both of which are contradicting one another. Leaving us with this 50/50 scenario that Sasuke has he MS and Zetsu is wrong or Sasuke doesn’t have MS but has just exceeded Itachi’s expectations. Does Itachi have a plan B for this ? Amaterasu maybe ? ”we might actually get to see Amaterasu” the way Zetsu is talking about it has me really interested. BUT im even more excited to see how will Sasuke defend/counter against such a formidable jutsu ?
    How/Why does Zestu even know about the Mangekyou Sharingan Techniques; Tsukiyomi,Amaterasu. How did he even know that Itachi used Tsukiyomi on Sasuke ? because I know that I couldn’t tell(besides the color change, but this change takes place inside the jutsu. Something an outsider shouldn’t be able to observe !) in the series there has never been any indicator as to when the jutsu would activate besides the swirling eyes. and I sure as$ heck didn’t see any swirlinig eyes… did you ?
    Why does Itachi have his left eye closed while forming the hand seal? Is it still bothering him from earlier or is it part of his next attack in preparation ?
    When you think about it we’ve seen Tsukiyomi several times in great detail, BUT we’ve only seen Amaterasu once! Is Amaterasu really that much stronger than Tsukiyomi (so much so that even another akatsuki member is intrigued?)? I know that it has never been stated that Kakashi’s MS was Amaterasu but after Zetsus comment I’m really beginning to believe that it is. Zetsu:”the air around Itachi’s changing” (I’m guessing just like it did when Kakashi activated his MS during his fight with Deidara; minus the black flame lol).This is the only instance where I’ve seen the air around anyone, especially a sharingan user change.
    Do y’all remember Kakashi’s analysis of Itachi’s Tsukiyomi when they were trying to save Gaara. Kakashi says that after using it he was very fatigued, and it uses a large amount of chakra(and unlike regular genjutsu it can feel like hours or days for the one trapped in Tsukiyomi). In my opinion Itachi has had his MS activated for a long time. If Itachi has had it on for a long time wouldn’t he be using most of his chakra by know(excluding the fact that he has actually done one MS jutsu so far which was that split second Tsukiyom). I thought about justifying it by saying that because it was genjutsu that the time was slowed down. BUT time would only slow down if it were Tsukiyomi which only occurred for a split second during the entirety of their fight. And we have Zetsu saying that all this time, neither of them have moved and that they have been fighting purely with genjutsu. All this time… means that time is passing !
    it was never said that only a MS user can defeat a MS user. Itachi only said someone with the sharingan and blood line can defeat him. Only Itachi says that he does not stand a chance without the MS
    Has anyone else caught how when Zetsu spoke about eating Sasuke Light Zetsu said “you” not “we” meaning that the dark side eats the people

  • Newman said:

    Wait what if Sasuke gained a new sharingan which is only activated when the brother of a M-Sharingan user gets enraged when their eyes are the brothers target?

    Also what if Sasuke summons Shisui or his parents to fight against Itachi for more the revenge? ( There has been speculation to Sasuke learning a new powerful Jutsu from Orochimaru)

  • Iruka said:

    I think Itachi will lose this fight because of his reliance of his ms. The ms drains a lot out of the user. Because Itachi is gassed, Sasuke could beat Itachi. When you think about Itachi could actually be weaker then sasuke after the tsukyomi attack.

  • Iruka said:

    I think the reason Itachi is holding his eye is because he over strained it. It could also be damaged from Sasuke breaking free of the the attack. Zetsu probably knows of the MS attack types from his years of expierience. A lot of theories speculate that Zetsu knew Madara from before Konoha was formed. Being part plant Zetsu could live a very long time.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    “why would this even cause him pain”

    It is like when u punch someone with a hard head it hurts there head but it hurts ur fist to. plus have u ever had thill in ur eye and wen u tooch it it stings ya it hurts

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    “I think Itachi will lose this fight because of his reliance of his ms”

    even so he wont lose there will be something that happens that interupts the fight and it will happen again somewhere else

  • Tensai-teki said:

    sorry for my comment being so long.in the blog on ch.387 im giving a big thanks to kwest28 for posting the link to the kishi interview at jump fiesta that i was begging for.SO THANKS.i typed my comment in my word processor because my laptop keeps acting funny and thats why it was so long.i cant believe i pasted my comment before reading this and me and bob asked some of the same questions.so i just wanted to clarify that up if people think that i was coppying him.sorry no plagirism here.but if i am asking similar questions it lets me know that im thinking in the right manner.ttyl go to do hw

  • Iruka said:

    I could see Madara getting bored with Naruto and decide to check out the battle of the brothers. Who ever has the upper hand in the fight, Madara will join them and kill the weaker one. Zetsu will come on by and get a nice like snack.

  • sharingan leader said:

    well what happens if zetsu, comes in the fight if itachi is iin trouble, then maybe someone is going to die for sure

  • Iruka said:

    Here is a weird quetion. How did Zetsu konw where the Uchiha hideout was. I thought that it was suppose to be a secret.

  • Iruka said:

    It would cool to see what Zetsu can do in a fight. I bet he has some special blood line jutsu that allows him to control plants. If that was the case sasuke would have an advantage over Zetsu with having lightning and fire at his dispoal.

  • Chaos said:

    Another weird question is why isn’t Madara Uchiha watching the fight.

  • thundergod4th said:

    can someone please tell me about how you rank up

  • Iruka said:

    You would think Madara would watch the fight. The winner of the fight would either become his greatest threat or his greatest ally. I f Iwas him Iwould want oversee the fight. Madara could also want to guage how strong Naruto and Kyuubi are. That way he will know how easily it would be to control the Kyuubi.

  • naruto abarai said:

    hi everyone im back and feeling left out from the last two blogs

  • Iruka said:

    thundergod4th. a person improves in the ranks by making good comments on blogs. If you work hard you will improve your rank. Please do not spam. Bob will be agree with you if you spam.

  • sharingan leader said:

    well mdadara is stalling naruto so he dosnt interupt the battle, and if you guys notice, one of zetsus legs is combined with the grownd, so he can probably go anywhwere, and hi naruto abaria

  • Shodaime said:

    Amazing Chapter

  • naruto abarai said:

    a theory would be itachi about to use amaterasu when sasuke uses summoning jutsu and summons manda’s dead body, manda gets incinerated and sasuke gets to attack and finally feels like getting back to the basics and uses fire style to attack itachi it hits and while itachi is getting burned he thinks de javu and he’s just a clone so he poofs away and then itachi comes from where he is and slashes at sasuke where sasuke almost gets hit because he dodged just in time. So sasuke uses summoning again but the snake is mad because he killed manda and decides to attack him when it starts to attack a giant weapon comes out of nowhere and kills the snake. Then Madara appears and says,”Well done itachi I’ll take over from here.”

  • naruto abarai said:

    hi sharingan leader and thanks your making me feel included

  • naruto abarai said:

    nice avatar naruto_zarachi

  • Iruka said:

    Madara could be stalling Naruto from crashing the fight . I have a suspision that Madara a gauging Naruto’s strength. Good observation about Zetsu’s leg SL. I bet Zetsu can morph his body to any shape so he can go anywhere.

  • Chaos said:

    ….and if Madara is stalling Naruto…he probably wants to test the Kyuubi or something like that…because seeing how all mighty and powerful Madara really is naruto couldn’t beat up, not even one of Madara’s clones.

  • Iruka said:

    Here is another thing I thought about Zetsu and his legs Wheat if Zetsu has to be embedded to the ground because he is part plant. Anouther possible thing with the feet is that he could send roots out to and they could sense things going on in a great distanse. The viibrations could be picked by the roots. Or he could sprout a plant out to do some spying and info would be sent to him

  • sharingan leader said:

    probably, i really want itachi to win this one

  • thundergod4th said:

    Thanks Iruka

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    “nice avatar naruto_zarachi”

    Thx. and i dont think naruto will continue fighting madari i think like chaos said madari will try to test narutos kyubi strength and wen that happens the will stop naruto probly by nocking him out. thus ending naruto vs tobi. but if tobi is nat madari then naruto will pwn him

  • thundergod4th said:

    I want to see more of the Tobi/Madara and Naruto Fight. I don’t find the Sasuke fight interesting even if Madara is toying with Naruto Itachi is toying with Sasuke. I also still believe the Pein fight isn’t over I think Tsunade will take Naruto to the rain village and the rest of the konoha shinobi will fight with Madara

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    a few chapters ago madara said that sasukes eyes will surpass itachis. has he developed his own ms and are we gonna see it in the upcoming chapts. i believe we havnt seen nothing yet sasuke still hasnt used his cursed seal and so far itachi only been using genjustu. i wish this fight could end soon and get back to naruto and crew

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    Ya i agree sasuke vs itachi is a boring fight. i dont like the sharingon it is to much of a power that u out of nowhere make up an ability for it and thats that. hey i can control the gravity with my sharingon hey i can control the clouds with my sharingon hey i can control the rate my finger nails grow with my sharingon. they make up what ever they wont and i hate it.

  • Iruka said:

    I wonder if Madara is transperent. By that I mean is Madara a spirit that needs a host body. Because Madara is a spirit, Naruto wasn’t able to strike Madara.The EMS could could make the person a spirit that does’n't dye giving the person inmortality. When a body is worn out a new one is used. THe body would have to be an Uchiha so the sharingan would work or the new host would reject the body.The EMS could give the new host the perception they are alive but the Madara’s spirit is in the their subconsious seeing the world through the new body.

  • thundergod4th said:

    Sasuke has activated his level 2 curse seal.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    ya but that means he would have had to be in tobi since the extermination.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    This is the last thing i will say about sasuke for right now.

    HE SUCKS DONKEY BALLS

  • thundergod4th said:

    But when Tobi/Madara was Deirdras partner it said deirdra would hit him in comical fashion. Or was Tobi Madara then

  • Iruka said:

    I don’t think Naruto will call upon the Kyuubi any time soon. After his little talk with Yamato after he injured Sakura, Naruto and Yamato vowed not to rely on the Kyuubi. Both of them believed Naruto has the strenghth to win on his own.

  • thundergod4th said:

    Or maybe he learns to harness it’s power without turning into foxboy.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    tobi was tobi and madari is madari but madari is tobi but tobi is madaris slave u feel me

  • Chaos said:

    Iruka that could end up being a true theory…if that is true than maybe Madara wants the strongest of all Uchihas as his new host body (not that there are many Uchihas living)…but then again why would he run off from the C4 Karura that Deidara made …if he is only a spirit he could have survived just fine.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    tobi still has his body and mind but madari is like his kyubi

  • thundergod4th said:

    Ahhh well thats my questions answered.

  • Iruka said:

    Tobi is Madara. I think Madara is a spirit in or something like that that can go into Uchiha to live. When ever Madara speaks it is MAdara. The rest of the time it is Tobi speaking. I hope this clarifies it for you. This makes it look like that there is a split personality.

  • Chaos said:

    and i also agree with Naruto_zarachi, Sasuke and Itachi had better stop tha Bulls**t and start fighting, it’s not like Orochimaru didn’t teach sasuke anything for 2 and a half years…and we haven’t seen that jutsu that sasuke wanted to use on naruto, sakura and yamato when Orochimaru stopped him

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    but we all no that if kishi has something to say in this fight then we will all keep waiting every thursday to see wat happens so in a way he has us were he wonts us for good or bad

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    “but then again why would he run off from the C4 Karura that Deidara made …if he is only a spirit he could have survived just fine.”

    Well you know Chaos I had a little theory that stated that Madara/Tobi may want his identity to be hidden, thus all the close and the mask. If Tobi/Madara just stayed and took the C4 it would have shown he was immortal and in turn, given away his secret. So far we know that only Pein and I think Karan know about his “identity” of being Madara so it is a little obvious he wants it to be kept a secret.

  • Iruka said:

    Chaos. I think the reason Tobi ran away from the K4 attack was to give the the readers and everyone the perception that Madara is a coward. Know ever would suspects that the strongest person is a coward. It does provide some comic relief.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    ya but i think tobi is a a vessel for madari but he still has hs own personality and mind but when madari wonts to get in he takes over his mind

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    wow i just got to examiner

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    i am the only examiner i have ever seen LOL

  • thundergod4th said:

    “and we haven’t seen that jutsu that sasuke wanted to use on naruto, sakura and yamato when Orochimaru stopped him”
    Thats a great point that gets me a little more intrested in the fight, Maybe Sasuke counters Ametsaru with that Jutsu.

  • Iruka said:

    I agree that the real fight has to start soon. I tired of this genjutsu battle. Give me some real action. I know this fight is the most anticipated ones but i want to see the other fights. This fight could end up lasting 20 chapters.

  • thundergod4th said:

    I’m still not over it yet I need 150% proof that Jiriyias dead and if the Sasuke battle lasts forever then I’m still left hanging. I hope Tsunades created a Jutsu that can revive him but only with 50% of his powers.

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    This is a pretty good chapter although I also kinda hope this Uchiha battle ends soon, it has dragged on for quite a while now. So, Sasuke is no push over huh, he will need to dish out some offence if he wants to stand a chance though. It seems like Itachi, although his technique failed, is still owning this battle completely and really keeping Sasuke on his toes. Well Sasuke, I wish you the best of luck, but you gotta step it up a little.

    And why do you want Jaraiya to come back with only 50% of his powers. I would want the full Jaraiya if you ask me. I wouldn’t want to degrade him.

  • thundergod4th said:

    Yeah I would obviously his full powers I meant to say like even if he only had 50% because he’s one of my favourites.

  • Chaos said:

    Anbu_quazzie, Iruka…you’re both right, no one would suspect a “good boy” being the founder of Konoha, Madara Uchiha…but the only persons at the battlefield when deidara fought sasuke whos was bound to know about him being Madara was sasuke (which madara may already be plotting….. sasuke will go after madara if he defeats Itachi…and sasuke would be no match for Madara…)….and the fact that Kisame would know about Madara being Tobi (kisame is the only alive member of Akatsuki that doesn’t know about madara) would have no role whatsoever in the storyline. But i guess it’s all up to kishimoto…..

  • Chaos said:

    And Jiraiya ain’t dead….he is hiding somewhere in Cuba.No, really.

  • thundergod4th said:

    Well theres no proof wether Kisame knows or not.

  • Iruka said:

    I think Jiraiya is dead . News of the fight came to late to her to do anything. Anyway i think Jiraiya had to dye for Naruto to get stronger.Naruto would realizes he needs step up his training. Jiraiya’s death would also give Naruto his first real real painful moment for him. It will give him chacter.

  • Iruka said:

    Kisame could know about Madara. He is pretty close to Itachi. Kisame also konow a lot about the ms as well. Itachi probably told Kisame about the whole Uchiha clan and its secrets. On the same note Kisame could be just a pawn for Itachi to use

  • thundergod4th said:

    When will Naruto be told about his Father I cant wait to see his face.

  • Chaos said:

    Ok guys, i’ll keep up with the theories tomorrow, I gotz to get some sleep…it’s like 1 A.M. over here.

  • Whitefangofkonaha said:

    wow i guessed that it would be all an genjustu

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    I have to say Naruto and a lot of other people are idiots not to realize Yodaime is Narutp’s father lol na but on a more serioud not I don’t hink ANYONE knows about Tobi’s potential and his tie in with Madara, accept Pein and Karan of course.

  • thundergod4th said:

    It would be a big shock to me if they don’t tell naruto that he’s the 4ths son soon because of Jiriyias death.

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    Yeah but why would Jaraiya’s death keep them from telling him something so important such as that. Especially something so motivational as that.

  • thundergod4th said:

    Youu mean why wouldn’t they or why would they.

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    wat if tobi was a shawdow clone of madara. when sasuke fought deidara he had a pretty good idea to what level his sharingan was at and when deidara blew himself up destroying tobi all the exp gained from that clone went to madara, basically what naruto does. because its a bit strange when tobi was destroyed by deidara it wasnt that long he was telling pein to go afta narutoin the rain country.

  • sharingan leader said:

    i dont think he ever hot destroyed, i think he left during the battle, because you never saw him again

  • thundergod4th said:

    Can you only get the password for the author discussion blog when your above jounin? If not when?

    Nice blog as always Bob sama

  • sharingan leader said:

  • thundergod4th said:

    thanks sharingan i’ve got a blog in consideration or something just now.

  • thundergod4th said:

  • sharingan leader said:

    nice, email it to one of us authors when you finish it, then your blog will be posted, now i will start on my blog right now, ahhh….a authors work is never done

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    “just keep posting comments anbu_quazzie, and youll become a joiunin soon”

    Yes I know how to get to jonin but I wanted to know why after I submitted a blog why I didn’t become Anbu, but you answered my question in the previous comment before this one so never mind and thanks.

  • sharingan leader said:

    well it depends, if any other people have there blogs coming up, so yes and no

  • thundergod4th said:

    so i should email my blog to bob or any author like you or J-Sama?

  • sharingan leader said:

    you can email it to any of us

  • thundergod4th said:

    email adressess?

  • guruku said:

    I had an interesting Idea… What if you can have a chakra line to a “Sharingan-in-a-jar” and be able to get multiple angle within a fight? (Kinda like Riningan; or what we figured about Riningan thus far).
    But anyways, It’s not gunna happen in the manga with all this eye gouging.

    Anyways, thanks for a comical chapter, Bob!

  • thundergod4th said:

    Ok thats me going to bed its 1 am over here in Scotland

  • sharingan leader said:

    dude omf, its 4 30 where i live, 4 30 in the afternoon

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    Yeah its only like 6 PM here too

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    SHaringan leader quik question, I’m on a different computer than the one I normally use and I’m tryin to log onto my profile. So I went to the “Lost your passwrd” link and it is saying go to your e-mail for the comfirmation link but there is no link on my e-mail addrees, any idea why?

  • sharingan leader said:

    well if you checked your email already, it should say click on this if you want new password, so do that but the n check your email again and it should be there, your password, somtimes you dont have to click the link when you get the email, you just wait a few minutes and it should be there

  • xxirishman25xx said:

    atleast he didnt lose his eye, iwas going to say what kind of fight was that

  • Shadow Myst said:

    So quick question, did they ever explain how the First Hokage died? It would be kinda weird if it turned out the reason why Zetsu knows so much about the MS is because he is the First.

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    Well I can’t recall if they ever declaired how the first died but he definetly can’t be zetsu. I’m sure he died of old age, but it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of sence for the first to be Zetsu.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    How do we no that madari is so powerful. he has been beet by the 1st hkage and everyone nows that the 4th was the strongest hokage ever so that means that it is possible to be stronger than the person that beet him witch means that naruto or sasuke could easly surpasses him ( even though i dont like sasuke i will give him some props)

  • sharingan leader said:

    dude OMG YOU ARE A EXAMINER NICE!!!!

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    I NO! but wat comes after it

  • Iruka said:

    Madara is powerful there is no question on that. every one can be beatenAs the saying goes, there will always be someone stronger, better then you. Chances are high that Naruto or the winner of the sasuke/ Itachi fight will be the one to defeat Madara.

  • sharingan leader said:

    um..jounin!

  • Iruka said:

    My guess is Naruto will face Pein and defeat him ans sasuke will defeat Itachi the destroy Madara. Nice workNaruto_Zarachi. You got yourself a promotion.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    Cool next is a jounin! but about madaris power no doudt he is strongest right now but other than his immortality witch we no can be beat by the hidan and kakuzu fight.

  • sharingan leader said:

    OMG IRUKA YOUR A CHUUNIN!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOO :D

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    “Nice workNaruto_Zarachi. You got yourself a promotion.”

    I try

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    OOO nice right wen u compliment me dam that is a cool coincidence

  • Iruka said:

    Wow I passed the chunin exam. Anyway whtat happenns after if Sasuke does defeat Itachi? Will Sasuke get full of himself and become more emo or will come to piece with himself. Or will he join Madara and become a tool or will Sasuke just go after Madara.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    he no he wont come to peace as the saying gos to voilence only to bring more voilence it dose no to more money. o wait leave the last part of. but ya sasuke will then blaim naruto for making him wait so long to kill him because he distracted him with friendship.

  • Iruka said:

    If Sasuke does go after Madara, he will be exhausted. Itachi is no pushover. Sasuke would be wise afterthe fiight to go recover and lay low for a while. It won’t be to difficult to find Madara and the akatski.

  • sharingan leader said:

    thats a good point,but i think he wont blame naruto because he could have killed before, but he didnt

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    no one knows how the first died and he cannot be zetsu. the 1st, 2nd , 3rd and fourth hokages souls are all sealed within death

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    thats another thing akatski is suposed to be a secret orginization! key word SECRET
    and yet everybody and there momas sister can find them

  • sharingan leader said:

    no one knows how the 2nd died either, ok why are all the hokages sealed with death, its annoying

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    well didnt orochi summon the first or something

  • Iruka said:

    Sasuke would blame Naruto for the distraction of his plans. If anything it was their friendship that caused Sasuke to go toOrochi. Sasuke was jelious of NAruto’s strenghth and growth. If Naruto didn’t become stronger, sasuke might not have left.If anything Sasuke should thank Naruto.

  • sharingan leader said:

    ok guys, im going to a party right now so i’ll be back later like at 10 30, man kishi should tell us how the 1rst and 2nd died, i always wondered

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    ya but he is emo so he wont thank him he will blame him for his pain instead of being a man and bearing it deep inside him and living of it

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    aww wat kinda party i miss goin to parties my mom wont let me anymore untill she has “regained her trust”

  • Nameless said:

    Sasuke will probably counter Amaterasu with that trump card he’s been hiding. The one that he made right before Orochimaru stopped him before. If I remember correctly, he made a tiger seal so it’s a fire jutsu. Fire vs. Fire, how fitting for a fight between Uchihas.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    i could care less about the fight it is boreing but ya i wont to see some real man fighting and by that i mean naruto killing someone

  • sharingan leader said:

    a dance party, ya so i’ll see you guys in about 3 hours. :D i guna have some fun tonight

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    when orochi summoned the 1st and 2nds souls to fight against the 3rd. the 3rd used the jutsu of the 4th to seal them within death then he tried to seal orochi but he got out the jutsu and 3rd got sealed because he performed it. the 4th sealed the kyubi into naruto but for using that jutsu his soul got takin by death.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    Yondaime u shur no alot about ur jutsus

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    Well back to the guy that said Madara might not even be that strong…OF COURSE HE’S STRONG after all the was the founder of THE strongest clan in Konoha. i don’t think you can be weak and start an elite clan such as the Uchiha. Also, Pein is completely at the feet of Madara as seen in one of the recent chapters and we all have seen how powerful he is, so to be over Pein, YA it might be a wild guess but I would say Madara is strong but just a little lol na A WHOLE LOT STRONG actually.

  • guruku said:

    Kakuzu ripped the first hokage’s heart out.

  • Anbu_Quazzie said:

    Hey would you look at that, I was promoted a ranking, but I still feel low lol, oh well I’ll be greatful.

  • guruku said:

    hope you have fun sharinganleader!

  • nine@tailed@girl said:

    congratulations to everyone who got promotions. hopefully i’ll catch up to u guys and love ur avatar Naruto_Zarachi. sharingan leader at least you can go to a party, consider urself lucky. back to the chapter, i don’t know if sasuke will win considering that he is still recovering from his fight with deidara but hopefully he will counter Amaterasu but as usual we have to wait another week (damnit another week of torture >:-( )

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    if kakuzu ripped the firsts heart out. wouldnt he be able to use his wood jutsus

  • guruku said:

    He didn’t use it at the fights but Naruto killing 3 of his hearts in one hit, and Kakashi taking out the rest didn’t give him a chance to use it.

  • DanC1110 said:

    I don’t think that Kakuzu’s Mola Ram Justu (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, people) would be able to copy Kekkai Genkai. I know that it gives him the user’s chakra elements like fire and water, but I think you have to be made of his DNA to get the Moukton Element.

    There might be more than just fatigue in Itachi’s left eye. In the ancient Shinto religion, the sun goddess Amaterasu was born when the god Izanagi washed the polluting underworld from his left eye. Tsukuyomi, the moon god, was born from his right.

  • Nameless said:

    The first didnt get his heart ripped out by Kakuzu… He only fought against him..

  • NSS7 said:

    do you guys remember about orchimaru forbidden jutsu that he teach anko and probably already teach sasuke the jutsu too. I think the forbidden jutsu is summoning the 8 headed snake because if its so forbidden why would orochimaru so afraid to use it and when sasuke met up with team kakashi at orochimaru’s hideout, was sasuke about to use the forbidden jutsu. This is what i think, in one of the older naruto games, one of orochimaru special jutsu was the forbidden jutsu and it showed huge snakes coming out of the ground pulling yo down to hell

  • guruku said:

    Lol. You should read this:

    http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/070821.jpg

  • guruku said:

    The third MS Power: Shusano might be a combination of the two eyes Being used together.

  • NSS7 said:

    so i think orochimaru’s jutsu is really the 8 headed snake demon

    MS has three different god like jutsu, thats why their is 3 sheriken lines sticking out from the middle. I bet the last sharingan jutsu will be a black tornado that rips the enemy into pieces

  • DanC1110 said:

    Actually, I’ve been re-reading the fight with Kakuzu. Even though he fought the First Hokage, I don’t think Kakuzu managed to steal his heart. Since his purpose with his claim was to intimidate them, he definitely would have told them he killed him and took his heart instead of just claiming to have fought him. I’m sure that Kakashi or Yamato would have also mentioned that this ninja was the one who killed the first Hokage, since they would know more than the kids how Shodai died. To this point, we don’t even know how he died.

  • Nameless said:

    Dude.. the forbidden jutsu is just a self destruct technique.. Anko used it with the intention of killing herself along with Orochimaru. And Sasuke made a tiger seal when he tried to use that techinique, so it’s a fire jutsu, not a summoning technique. Orochimaru didn’t want Sasuke to use it because he wantedt team Kakashi to take out more Akatsuki members.

  • Newman said:

    Okay I have a Theory on the Whole Alias of Madara situation= What if Tobi was a member of Akatsuki while with Zetsu but he was not so bright and he lost an eye, Then Madara wanting to know who he can trust with his identity uses an imortality jutsu to take over Tobi’s body then he tells Itachi, Pain, and Zetsu who he really is.

  • Newman said:

    And Another Thing, I have a feeling that Zetsu is Madara’s “Spare Eyes” and he watchs things important for Madara such as the fight. Then when it looks like Itachi is about to loose Zetsu Jumps in and it becomes a Triple Threat match

  • Newman said:

    Someone please tell me what you think of my two theories.

  • guruku said:

    Kakuzu never killed the first. He lost the fight. He does however have his heart, which was killed by Naruto (i believe). Kakuzu took his heart (possibly after he died). Just like Orochimaru dug up his grave and used his body along with a sacrficial technique to revive his body (body is important, cause it doesn’t mean the soul was revived). I believe the soul that was taken was the soul of the sacrificed ninjas that were previously made in order for the BODIES of the first and second to come back alive. But, because the soul was in the body of the first and second, it retained the half of the mental parts of the first and second and was able to talk to the third like they knew each other.

  • guruku said:

    Does taht make sense?

    In a nutshell:
    1. Orochimaru = Grave robber
    2. Patched up the bodies with ninja sacrificial souls
    3. Kakuzu lost fight w/ first
    4. Kakuzu = heart robber

  • guruku said:

    Hey Newman… good idea. Farfetched in my book, but it’s not bad. Some proof would be good though.

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    I think madari is in tobis body like the kyubi but he can take control at any time so he has plenty of time to think of stuff instead of always runing around being a good boy! but ur therie is plosible

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    i wish they made a naruto game that was like Halo cos then i could pwn people on Halo and the Naruto game

  • guruku said:

    I came across a really good post. If you take the time to read it, it shows a great amount of structure, and analysis on Pein and his techniques and abilities. And possibly information on who he might be…

    wonder how many comments it takes to get to jonin

  • Gaaras_sand said:

    I have always assumed that Kakashi’s Mangakyo technique was Susanoo. It is a dimensional storm type of technique. So it only makes sense.

    Concerning this chapter I rather liked it for the most part. I am disappointed Itachi didn’t actually get Sasuke’s eye. I like the theory about Kakashi giving Sasuke his eye. Although it would weaken my favorite character :( it would be interesting and work for his character.

  • Newman said:

    Finally I Get people to respond to my Comments. I was bored waiting for them

    No worries Newman, This is a great place where everyone seems to be positive and gives good feedback. We are a bunch of Great Naruto people! (unless you are like itachi… evol! EVOL!) (and yes, i know I misspelled that)

    I am part of this blog and i am EVOL there is nothing rong with being EVOL as long as u are nice

  • Naruto_Zarachi said:

    I think Itachi will have a tie with sasuke. How u doin

  • sharingan leader said:

    well im back, danm that was a fun party, well kakashi cant give him his eye yet, sasuke hasnt even lost an eye yet

  • sharingan leader said:

    so anyways, here is a crazy idea, what if sasuke try’s to pull out itachis eyes? then what will he do? maybe sasuke will put it to some use, maybe he will take out kakashis sharingan and put in itachi’s MS and then kakashi will the EMS

  • Yondaime Hokage said:

    yea thats a crazy theory but i doubt it will ever occur, he needs a couple of conditions to obtain ems 1) being an uchiha and 2) the eye or eyes hav to come from a sibling

  • Chaos said:

    :? What? I’m an ANBU? I’m better than Naruto than, DATTEBAYO!!!! Sharingan Leader, we all know that Sasuke has always tried to be different than his brother, and sasuke isn’t as evil as Itachi, so he wouldn’t try to obtain the EMS by blinding Itachi…but who knows, it would be great if he would get the EMS.

  • J-sama said:

    I don’t think Sasuke’s gonna steal Itachi’s eyes. It just isn’t his style. He already said he wasn’t going to follow Itachi’s path. So I’m guessing that means he won’t want to be like Madara and Itachi, and be a back-stabbing eye-plucker.
    And BTW, Ken-chan, I really love your avatar! Kenpachi Fried Chicken! ROFL

  • r0cK_LeE said:

    buht theres always that question waht if he has obtained the mangekyou sharingan. nd sasuke iz all about power thatz the reason y he left konoha to get stronger. so im guessin he wud want itachiz eyes

  • Newman said:

    Sharingan Leader,,
    Kakashi can’t get the EMS seeing as he has no brothers so using itachi’s would be no use. Plus I thought Itachi said that the Sharingan transplant could only happen between Uchiha members? That would probably mean that without knowing it, Kakashi’s mother could be an Uchiha. And if thats the case he could transplant Itachi’s Mangekyo Sharingan into his normal eye.

  • Newman said:

    BTY Why are we all ANBU its not fun being ranked the same as everyone else.
