Naruto Chapter 416: Your Smile is My Salvation
Post Author: Bob
Mostly dialogue in Naruto chapter 416, but hey, at least the story’s moving along at a good pace for both Sasuke and Naruto. We get a peep into the book Jiraiya left behind for Naruto and see a flashback to a bonding moment between Naruto and Jiraiya. Then we’re treated to a cold conversation between Sasuke and Madara regarding Sasuke’s plans for Konoha. Quite opposite to the first part of this chapter, Sasuke’s scene is full of hate and bitterness. Maybe this guy’s finally cracked?
The first few pages of the chapter are a visualization of a fight which takes place in Jiraiya’s book. An unknown ninja from the Hidden Village of the Question Mark (see picture below) fights a Leaf ninja who suspiciously looks like either a grown up Naruto or Minato with a shorter haircut. I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone in the Naruverse wearing a baseball cap. Weird. Anyways, the characters’ lines during this fight are cheesy and cliché, but that’s Jiraiya’s style J I’m not sure when Jiraiya wrote this book, but it certainly feels like it was meant for Naruto to read some day. Fukasaku mentioned last chapter that it was one of Jiraiya’s first books, so I’m guessing he wrote it far before he even met Naruto. Perhaps it was a book Jiraiya wrote after he heard about Kushina Uzumaki being pregnant with a Minato’s child – perhaps it was a present he meant to give to Minato’s child one day to help make him a better shin obi. I’m betting the unspoken name the fictional Konoha ninja in Jiraya’s book utters is actually Naruto’s name.
Naruto is moved to tears by Jiraiya’s words remembers back to a conversation he had with his sensei during their time training together. He tries to understand Sasuke’s reasons for leaving Konoha by asking about Orochimaru’s childhood. It seems after Orochimaru’s parents were killed (in the Ninja Wars likely), he became obsessed with forbidden jutsus. Maybe it started out as a way for him to see his dead parents again, but those feelings soon turned to revenge because he blamed Konoha for their deaths. The evil in his heart spread quickly and soon there was nothing even Jiraiya could do to reach his former friend. Unfortunately, Jiraiya can offer no help to Naruto regarding Sasuke because he didn’t even know how to save Orochimaru. Jiraiya’s wish is that someday everyone in the world will truly understand each other and then there would no need for armies or wars. It is a dream he hopes to pass on to Naruto. Jiraiya then laughs hardily at Naruto and says what I thought was the best line in this chapter “your smile is my salvation.â€
Meanwhile Sasuke brings the Eight-Tails to the place where he is suppose to meet Madara. Again, we see the mysterious structure build from fossilized bones. I’m not exactly sure where they are, but they are probably still inside Lightning Country; the structure must be one of the hideouts Akatsuki has in every country. Sasuke has a lengthy talk with Madara regarding his plans for Konoha. In short, he tells Madara he wants to murder everyone in the village for their treatment of the Uchiha clan and for forcing Itachi into his wretched fate. From his speech, I got the feeling that Sasuke is not telling the whole truth about what he feels inside and might be just saying the words he thinks Madara wants to hear. I think Sasuke still doubts Madara’s words, but he has decided to play into his hand because he realizes that Madara is not someone to be taken lightly – he is someone even Itachi was afraid of. First of all, I don’t believe Sasuke’s line about lying to his own team about “just wanting to kill Konoha’s elders.†I doubt he trusts Madara more than his own teammates, the very people who have saved his life on more than one occasion. Second of all, Sasuke saying he wants to kill everyone in Konoha is just way out of character. During his training with Orochimaru, Sasuke did not kill anyone and Orochimaru even said he was too soft. And during his battle with Deidara, his aim was never to kill his opponent even though Deidara was willing to sacrifice himself to kill him. No, Sasuke is up to something. I believe he was telling the truth to his team when he said that “they are the ones who are using Akatsuki.â€Â It’s a convincing ruse, but the thing is I think Madara is far too cunning to fall for it.
And lastly, Raikage shows his ugly mug and destroys a fine desk when hears his brother was taken by Akatsuki. The Cloud shinobi does report that “one of Konoha’s Uchiha clan†was among them, but the Raikage only mentions Akatsuki in his fit of rage – so maybe there won’t be a war afterall. The Raikage looks more brawn than brains anyways, but I bet he can kick some serious ass.

AHAHAH!!!! Nice one bob I loce the random changes to the text, always makes me laugh
Good job!
i think sasuke wanted to go on with his plan in killing everyone in konoha until he almost died two times, and it might be then that he could change his mind since it was tobi flashback about their last meeting so it was before sasuke even went after the 8 tails
one other thing that i really like about this chapter was that it looks like kish is improving in drawing girls because in the first naruto series sakura and tsunade had wide forehead and if you look at the new female characters in the 2nd series, their acually better drown out and doesn’t have wide forehead like karin and the new black chick in this chapter
Gj sasuke i dont think sasuke will kill everyone just certain ppl and 3rd
jiraiya puts alot of heart and soul into his first book and i think he wrote it after orochimaru left i dont know but anyways what if the real message is inside the book naruto is reading and not the other book that jiraiya wrote and kakashi is reading so maybe this whole time shikamaru and the code breaker are wasting their time……
bob nice job and i like the last pic “HULK SMASH” hahahaha funny stuff
Great. Not only did we have a beat-boxing oxtopus, but now we’re going to have to read the awful rhymes of the Raikage. The Japanese sure love their steriotypes. =_=
As for Sasuke’s speech, there’s just too little information to understand what his motivation is. Since he’s the anti-hero, Sasuke could easilly be falling into the flimsy mental trap that Madara has set, OR he could just be stringing Madara along to continue Itachi’s efforts to keep Konoha safe (though I doubt it). Both of them are kinda’… Expected, I guess. Let’s hope Kishimoto comes up with something more original. ^^;
man…..don’t make me angry….kkukuku…
as a brother…for me in that situation..i should take revenge…
is itachi just been commanded by someone to kill his clan members and family???damn…its impossible…whew…is sasuke sure of what he will do???try to remember Naruto and The fifth is in Konoha??can he carry it….his teammates needs more cereal…their weak for now…oh man…who will fight that HUNGRY FOR REVENGE brother of The killerbeeOxTopus…man…can’t wait those unrevealed techniques of the Raikage…it will be a fierce Battle….
can’t wait for chapter 417…..
~ians says goodbye!
D’oh, I completely missed that flashback between Madara and Sasuke. Wow, that wasn’t a very good transition at all, hopefully they’ll do a better job in the anime with some cool flashback music or something LOL. It makes sense I guess, even Sasuke can’t completely heal in one panel. And also notice those ripple marks on his chest where Jugo healed him… sorry ladies but I think Sasuke finally got his first scar on his bishie bod
I know that the guy in Jiraiya’s book is Naruto they look just alike and he could also be Minato but he amed him Naruto! Remember when Jiraiya was fighting Pein and he thought back to when he was talking to Minato and Kushina and they asked him to be his GodFather and he named him Naruto the character in his book I thing this is the book he was talking about!
As for Sasuke I really don’t know what to say about him but maybe he is creating an illusion the same illusion Itachi made on him! He wanted everyone to believe he was evil and killed his clan just to test his power but we now know what he really was doing! I think Sasuke is following in his brother footsteps to set his own illusion so he could protect what was so precious to Itachi! Think about it in the fight with the nine – tails he thought about Team 7 before he unleashed the Amaterasu. Then at the beginning of one of the manga when Sasuke and Naruto was wearing a neclaces with each others face on it, this has to be a symbol that their bonds are not severed. So I really think Sasuke is really good!
Another thing I kinda wanted the leaf to go to war with the cloud AGAIN! Because I want to see why Itachi was so afraid of a ninja war and this maybe a way for Naruto to get Minatos Flying Thunder God Jutsu and to be known all throughout the ninja world and to be feared like Minato!
This chapter was uh soso. The flash back that naruto has was nice but uh. I wonder if Naruto will see the resembalnce from the picture. It prob is Minato. What I want to know is what’s in the rest of the book.
As for Sasuke, I think he is playing everyone. He has got to keep his options open. He is just saying things to different people to please them. I do think Sasuke will go with Madara to Konoha and Kakashi will have to confront him. Tsunade will be to busy with Pein. Well Tobi will play the clown character when he is there.
I would love to see the the battle of who has the better doujutsu. Neji vs Sasuke but like I said I think kakashi is the one that will deal with him.
Now the big quistion is what will the raikage do? I doubt he will assist Konoha, he prob will lead a force to retrieve his brother and prob take out Kisame in the battle. Kisame role is useless now. exposeable. If he was going to help Sasuke, he would of done it by now
Bob- I wish Killerbee had ripped apart Sasuke’s face and made a pretty scar there. T.T
Is it just me, or does the Gutsy Ninja of Jiraiya’s book look like an older version of Naruto (w/o the fox cheek whiskers)?
LOL NICE NEW RANK SOtHE
i think the gutsy ninja is minato
Woot I’ve never made it to the top twelve before!!!!
I think its an itneresting chapter. The only issue is that it is hard to tell what Sasuke is thinking, half the time he is lying and half the time he changes his mind. I don’t think he wants to hurt all of Konoha. I think he wants to see his old team again and when he does we will find out what his true intentions are.
No !!!!! I got bumped down while I made my comment!!!!!!
its only top 10 elite 5 and the chosen 1
GJ bob i think it’s the book where minato found a good name for his son like we saw in a flashback of jiraya some months ago
man i can not tell , is sasuke good or is he evil damn it so hard tell and i wonder is their going to be a war in next few chapters with the Akatsuki ,leaf and cloud
Hi everyone I think theres one little detail that was not mention by Bob or no-one else was that the Raikage last pic shows him having two fang like teeth in his mouth. Could he be the real 8tails Snake that we all was hoping for and his twin brother was a bi-product of his demons chakra just like Sora was of naruto?
Interesting theory Scrubby. It’s very plausible.
gj scrubby but probabbly not cause sora was in anime
I want Kakashi to fight Sasuke for now until Naruto gets there and Pein fights Tsunade and I expect Madara will confront the elders of the village but mostly watch everything go down! We could see the hidden mist village attack as well and the cloud ninja! I can’t wait until everything happens because it’s getting really interesting I think naruto is going to learn some great jutsu I hope he make ajutsu like summoning a cat 5 hurricane or something! I just can’t wait to see how strong he will become!
I think the book will give Naruto his destiny and it will put everything in perspective for him! People think it will unlock super powers or something remember it is just a book!
Oh yeah Bob I wondering if you could move the next chapter of The Legacy of MInato Namikaze to its previous date!LOL
~kukuukuk….happy to see ur new emblems and rankings……hahhhaa…makes me laugh…i love pink mudkip….KEwl sothe huh…and Nef nice emblem…and for team shannaro emblem…who is that akatsuki dancing???
the blind itachi on fun with akatsuki….lol…
~ians said:GOODBYE!!!
The raikage hold a barbell in his hand, seems he have a workout.
I think he is in rage because his brother is kidnapped and delivery boy break his workout;-)
I dont know what to believe.
But I guess Sasuke want only to kill the elders, why he would kill Sakura or Kakashi who wants protect him. But I think it finaly comes to a fight beetween Sasuke and Naruto, because if he wants to kill the elders he must face Naruto first.
Good job bob
And I totaly agree with you ultimatehokage.
It will be comes to a huge showdown.
What is with Sasukes teamates, is karin death, what is with suigetsu and will jugo still be kid?
What are the next steps of Naruto and Akatsuki?
This chapter brings more questions than answers.
some people seem to be confused….the person in jaraiya’s book was not drawn purposely to look like naruto, jaraiya or minato…it is simply a picture that coincidently looks like them…….however the person’s name in the book is probably “naruto”..its probably the same one that jaraiya had discussed with minato and kushina
“This is an emo chapter… but I mean it in a good way.†What I meant is through this chapter, we have an inkling of what Sasuke has been going through from the moment that he announced his war against Konoha. Much as he would like to live up to Itachi’s ideals, he just couldn’t because of his great love for Itachi. And now, he sees Konoha as the reason for his brother’s downfall. What bogs me is Sasuke’s reason for saying two different things to his teammates and to Madara. Does he think of his teammates as useless baggages still? Or he is playing with Madara, for the latter to think that he is Sasuke’s confidant? Whichever, I think Sasuke will not betray Madara at this point. He is relying on the older Uchiha to back him up on his personal vendetta.
I can’t wait to see Raikage’s next move. Btw, is it just me or does it seem like the 8tj is releasing lightning or whatever it is on page 11, lowest panel?
I think the character in the book, much as it resembles to Naruto, was really patterned to Minato (in physical terms) and J-sama’s idea of what the destined child should be.
@lady hinata….no i do not believe sasuke thinks of his teammates as “useless baggages”……sasuke may have once thought so before but i think that the fight with the 8 tails opened his eyes to what his team mates realy mean to him……….”And now, he sees Konoha as the reason for his brother’s downfall”…<<< ..this is/could be true…but the conversation between madara and sasuke was in a flashback and not in the present. it took place just after the fight with itachi so whateva sasuke is feeling towards konoah presently is still unclear.. during the fight with the 8-tails, we saw sasuke go through a bit of an emotional thinking; remembering his old team-mates and even his present ones…this little scene could have been all it took to change sasuke….so like i said “whatever sasuke is feeling towards konoah presently is still unclear”…
what was shown on page 11 was just the 8 tails dropping on the floor from someone throwing him..if you look on the next page, you will see him land in front of madara…….
the picture in the book could have been patterned to minato, but i doubt it has any significance in the manga….the book was written by jaraiya as a representation of how “gutsy” ninja should be like. probably how jaraiya wanted to be……however, i think the strong resemblance to naruto is just something done to assist the fact that hes name is “naruto”
isnt the book also a manga or just a plain book? if it is just a book (like the book shikamaru & company is deciphering), then that drawing of the ninja characters must be only a reflection of naruto’s mind. so i think it wouldnt count if that ninja is minato or naruto.
(it’s my first time to post. love this forums.)
Dude this wasnt the most exciting chap but it was a good one. I wonder what raikage is gonna do? And not only that is sasuke seriuos! I mean come on he’s gonna throw away his bros sacrifice like that! He is messed up!
A Really Good chapter… I Bet This Is One Of Those Scene’s Where The Character is Saying Those Things To Fool SomeOne… Or Something… Then Says’ That.. I just Said That for This Or That Then Come Up With The Solution To Just Manipulate You To Believe In waht I say Or Something Like That… Haha…. HULK SMASH!.. hahaha.. LOL bob.. That Was Funny.!! Naruto Is Starting To Like Reading That Book… And Remembers Jiraiya Along The Way.. i miss The master.. peeking through holes and stuff… *miss Those Days..
* and Naruto Will be the Savior of The Day!.. Yehey!
Looks to be building up to a final battle between Naruto and Sauske
Should be good.
beacuse of this i really miss Jiraya-sama!!! =)
huhuhuhu!! T_T..
u know guyz…. Naruto is like Jiraya when it comes to writing a story!!??maybe!! naruto will make his Own book ! someday!! hehehe!!
but the BRother of Killerbee is a raikage!!!???
hmmmm…. this will be an awesome Fight!!!
dam!!! can’t W8!!
hahaha……..you never seem to disappoint with your summaries. man i love how you rap things up. but about the chapter, I hope Sasuke’s mind has changed from that fit of rage he felt before the fight with the 8-tailed beast. cause he had all that hatred going into the fight, i wornder if he changed his mind. i guess only time will tell. And as for the Character in the book………didnt Jiraiya say his name was Naruto? cause thats how Naruto got his name. And i hope the Raikage doesnt try to start war with Konaha, cause that’s the last thing they need if Pein is tryna attack them too. but i guess only time will tell.
The Gutsy Ninja IS NARUTO!
!
Didn’t Jiraiya write a book with it’s main character being called Naruto?
Jiraiya gave Minato and Kushina the book for reading, they liked it… and named their son after THAT main character… it’s in one of the previous chapters. You forget this stuff, kids
This is the same damn book! (:
Well, I guess my predictions are now on process of fermentation, it seems it is getting more on my idea as how this Uchiha finally made a decision, as i have mention on my blog 8 months ago their will be a new villain to attack Kunuha and also the possibility that Pein too also their but i didn’t predicted the training process of Naruto in Myobuki Mountain together with the Sage.
Anyway my next prediction could be the death of 5th Hokage by a sudden fight against the Akatsuki Leader, Kakashi is also on a way for the title 6th Hokage.
About the Raikage it seems his also a enthusiastic shinobi he might kill one of the Akatsuki member, the story of Naruto is still not on a climax condition it is on the beggining of revenge and more revelations to come, i also predicting that their will be a massive war against the Akatsuki and it will lead by the 5 shinobi countries.
Next for Hokage is Yamato then Uzumaki Naruto, that’s all, Thank you!
this chapter have more question than answer…and i dun believe that book is about naruto or minato but jiraiya itself…that was the life about the writer actually…
it seems sasuke is lying to madara, and try to play on madara’s hand…bcoz we know that madara is not like that dumb to easily fool of sasuke’s words…
actually, i’m disappointed of this chapter…anyways it’s just introduction part about the battle of jiraiya…
i want more answers on the next chapter…i dun want to guess always in every part…
btw, gj bob…HULK SMASH!!!LOL^^
Nice blog Bob.
Daym im abit too late. This chapter was arite, Wen i read the first chapter, i was like dam finally we get to read about Minato but its abit confusing since it maybe Minator/Naruto. this was arite chapter. Plus Sasuke is waaaaaaaaaay over acting, lol killing everyone in Konaha??? zzzzzzzzzzzzz asif he could.
But im pretty sure he is just screwing around wit Madara, in order to sorta scape from him
Great Blog bob:). I don’t think Sasuke is going to kill evreyone, his lying in Madaras face. So he can kill him afterwards. The gutsy ninja is very similar to Naruto/ Yondaime. I wonder what the raikage is going to do now??
U’re right Chaos, that is the book that minato and kushina got from J-sama
For me its clear what the raikage will do, bring his brother back. But who is his opponent Madara or Sasuke. I gues it will be Madara and than we see how mighty he realy is. And they have time, because the ritual cant be done without Pein, who is on the way to konoha.
tnx NSS7…yeah you’re ryt…the 1st book of jiraiya is the secret code message wants to reveal by jiraiya to naruto…hmmm…it’s getting exciting, but how naruto will know it about the code??..naruto is least intelligent shinobi…unlike shikamaru…
and i dun think…naruto’s parents life will reveal on this book…T_T…
Once again I shall post first then read. The first thing I relaised about this chapter is Jiraiya’s cryptic words. When he says, ‘I’m going to change the world with my books’ I don’t think he saying he’ll just give people a lot of icha icha tactics to preoccupy themselves with, I think he means that the answers are actually in his books. Secondly, I think the similarity with Minato/Naruto is interesting. I think that when training Minato he realised that either minato or one of his bloodline would be the destined child. I definitely think this is the character Minato named Naruto after and the book was given to Minato to try and see if he would fulfill the prophecy. I wonder how things would have changed had Nagato (Pein) read this book!
Man…. FUCK SASUKE…..Naa But i am starting to dislike sasuke but he do have a reason to hate konoha because konoha wanted to kill him to u kno….. so if it wasn’t for itachi sasuke would have been dead but i doubt he will kill everybody in konoha but i believe he could kill da elders…..
as for naruto he needs to get stronger asap he needs 2 learn his fathers moves, become way faster like sasuke cuz he is too slow, n he need 2 learn how 2 control da nine tails power better…. cuz i dnt think da sage training will be enough honestly…. n i hope he finally finds out who his father n mother is please…..
1 more thing……please give naruto a new outfit….like he would look good in da outfit dat jonins wear…..like da guy in da book…..i hate his outfits…..or he should make a outfit like his fathers dat will be cool…..naruto just looks weak sometimes
I thik that the battle for the 8tj will be the next big fight. Probably between Madara and Raikage. THis will undoubtedly be a good fight, as Raikage is the most powerful ninja in a village with two Jinjuuriki who could control their bijuus 100%, so he must be sick! But then again Madara is Mizukage and we know how crazy the people from his hidden village are! Undoubtedly he will win, but what I hope is that we will finally get to see his face in this battle to settle once and for all who he is and if he truly is, as he says, Uchiha Madara!
I really think Kishi needs to get over his man-boy love for Sasuke. I mean the pages that were dedicated to Sasuke were pretty pointless, given that firstly, they were a flashback and secondly, he mentioned to team Taka that he was playing Akatsuki. What I think will happen though is that he will inadvertently have to battle Konoha’s elites. He is definitely going to Konoha to take out the elders and as much as this will put a smile on Tsunade’s face, she cannot allow it so his attack on the elders will basically be an attack on Konoha. I think this is what Itachi foresaw and that’s why he powered up Naruto. But the thing is this is gonna take a long time because 2/4 members of team taka are on the verge of dying and none of them have naruto’s regenerative powers, so I think pein’s saga will finish before they head out. Hopefully, this means we won’t see Sasuke for awhile… YAY!!!! One can only hope!
you may be right ,half of part 2 on base sasuke and a quarter is base on naruto.my guess the next quarter will be when both clash .
the next chap is going have a lot of expectation
i just know it.
I think there is something everyone is missing. I don’t think Jiraiya’s book has real pictures. Thats just what Naruto is imaganing while he reads it, a mock up of himself (without the wiskers I guess). There is not way Jiraiya could write a book and draw the main character as Minato’s son, his kid doesn’t look that much like him anyway (except the hair and posture). Most people picture a book while they read it, this is probably just that.
*pcgnome-of course Jiraya didn’t draw single picture in that book and of course that Naruto imaging himself in the role of the great hero whose name is same as his name…Naruto. What’s your point,what we missing?
Well, this was definitely one of the more emotional chapters of Naruto, on both ends of the spectrum.
- As for the gutsy ninja, I’d say that it might be a subliminal clue from Kishi as to what Naruto might look like older. That is, if he doesn’t decide to grow his hair out like his dad, or Jiraiya.
- As for the flashback with Jiraiya; that was pretty touching. A true, father-son moment. I think when Jiraiya asks Naruto to carry on the job of extinguishing the hatred in the world, that could be a little metaphor for fighting Sasuke, since Sasuke very next speech is about Hatred.
- Meh, I don’t think that scar will be permanent on Sasuke, it might just be there to show how recent the battle was.
- The flashback with Tobi and Sasuke could mean a number of things:
a.) Tobi might not be as truly evil (like Orochimaru) as we think. He seems to be encouraging Sasuke to follow in Itachi’s footsteps. Almost upset that he isn’t. Of course this is probably just him testing Sasuke’s true intentions, to see if he is truly with him or not.
b.) Sasuke is slowly becoming the main bad guy. He almost seems more evil, and in more control than Tobi at some times. That speech by him gave me goosebumps.
c.) Whether or not Sasuke meant what he said in that speech before the 8-tails fight, during the fight something happened to him. Kishi would not have included the panel with Team 7 for no reason. Maybe it took near-death experiences to make him change, but I believe he did.
- Since Sasuke is going to Konoha, and Pein is going to Konoha, what the hell will happen when they both get there. Especially since they have two different goals. I think Sasuke’s speech with Tobi was so Tobi wouldn’t get suspicious that Sasuke went to Konoha. Maybe he will try to protect them, or Naruto from Pein. Doubt it.
- The Raikage is in the mix now? There is way too much going on at once. Pein-Sasuke-Naruto-Raikage, settle one thing before you start 8 Kishi.
nice theory spirit but a bit long and great investigations skills pcgnome i didn”t notice that.Anyways i want the next chap to just come already
eigthhokage – whats being missed is that many posts have considered the book the key to all power. I don’t think it does. Its just the catalyst to drive Naruto, and possibly give him the key to his name (as is suspected by many).
There are two “printed” keys in the story that I can see right now. One is of course the scroll frog. The other I think many people have forgotten. The cursed scroll with the leaf ninjutsu we saw back in the first chapter that Naruto leanred Kage Bunshin from. If that is where high level techniques are recorded, that would make sense as the storage location for Minato’s jutsu. One would think that may even be where the third learned the death sealing technique he used on Orochimaru. He doesn’t have Sharingan, so I don’t think he could learn it from watching the fourth use it once and I don’t think the fourth taught it to him. It would be just like Kishi to bring something old back as an important artifact. Just a thought though.
– pcgnome out
*pcgnome- Ok,I misunderstand you.
Now I see what are you trying to say. And I agree with you about the scroll frog-it seems that frog keep important jutsu in that scroll (maybe even the 4th “death sealing technique “),who knows only time and Kishi will tell.
ok i was jst wondering y every1 has the idea it is a flashback of sasuke and madara. on page 15 at the top left i can def see the scar he got from the 8 tails and on page 16 it looks to me like his back is still dirty from battle but mayb that jst me
Believe this isn’t the last of the flashbacks. I am more than positive that we will be shown little bits more of Jiraiya’s conversation with Naruto as well as little more about the book.
I want to say that this book is the book that they are supposed to use for the Code over back in Konoha… if that is so, that means Shikamaru is NOT getting ANYWHERE with his deciphering.
Questions that are yet to be answered:
1. The Code Jiraiya left behind.
2. Tobi/Madara’s goals
3. Itachi’s power that was given to Naruto
4. What did Madara send Kisame to go do
5. Sasuke’s EMS powers (is it only to stop the amaterasu?)
6. Madara/Pein’s Powers.
here guruku where did you get your old avatar and how would i find it.it was a ninja dodging for his life and it was hilarious ?! thanks.
this chapter had me confused because i cant tell if sasuke is serious.i believe that hes lying and that madara sees through his plan.why… i just have this creppy feeling when ever they zoom in on madaras eye.and also is the fact that sasuke blurted out “we are using akatsuki”.what if madara and/or zetsu were listening.also he even knew about itachi,and even though i like sasuke.in my opinion hes not quite as good as his older brother.
pcgnome* thats a good statement.i had totally forgot about the scrool in the begining where naruto learned kage bunshin from.
my question is WHY is suck a good jutsu forbidden.i mean what,they only let certain people access that scroll.if its a forbidden justu then how come so many people know what it is.but only a few can use it.kakashi,naruto,itachi sandaime,jiraiya.i understand why lotus if forbidden.but that kinda sucks.
spirit* i now that kishi doesnt put stuff in for nothing.but in my opinion i thought that sasuke looked concerned about naruto when he asked madara had they captured the nine tails.its my dream for sasuke and pain to appear at konoha together.ive been thinking about that since pain left and sasuke said hes gonna attack the village.
@Tensai Teki
Which one are you speaking of? Can you be more discriptive? I have a ton of avatars.. I’ll try to look for what you’re asking for so you can use it.
Guruku
We’re reading too much into the fact that this was an “older Naruto”, this gutsy ninja. Have any of you ever read or watched The Neverending story?
The Gutsy Ninja isn’t a manga…it’s a book. Naruto simply sees himself in the title role, and what Kishimoto’s showing is how Naruto is seeing it play out in his head. Typically as a reader you take on the first person/main character persona.
I did notice the fangs, and I hope it isn’t something like a hidden Jinchuurikki, because that is throwing quite a bit into the mix. The Raikage, Hokage, even the whole debacle with Kisame calling Tobi/Madara Mizukage, the attack on the Kazekage/Gaara. And wouldn’t it be so crazy if one of the previously defeated vessels turned out to be the Earthkage? It would seem Kishi is setting up the platform for another great ninja war.
I liked this chapter. We got to see that Naruto and Jiraiya had a relationship that was more than just a teacher student, more like father son.
I kinda wish the whole chapter was about Naruto. Sasuke’s part, seemed more like a minor part. I would say the main focus of the chapter is Naruto and the Raikage.
As stated above by several posters; this is Jiraiya’s first book, the book that Minato read in which he and Kushina wanted to name their son after the main character … Naruto. The fact that the “book” Naruto resembles him, is just coincidence.
Raikage looks mean. He kinda looks like Blade, fangs and all. lol. I hope he isn’t the true 8-tail, that would just suck. But then again, this Oxtapus is an Uchi-Oni not an actual Bijuu. But only Kishi knows the truth.
i think that it will be better if the raikage was the true 8 tails…i did not expect the other one to lose like that..i was so sure that he was gonna do some kind of counter attack..but all i saw was him get pwned by sasuke’s first hit..disappointing………..
this is a theory from out of the blue……..what if the 8 tails also has a yin and yang chakra just like the nine tails…then wouldnt it be possible for one type to be sealed in the one that just got beaten. and the other type to be sealed in the raikage?…….the raikage probably having the yin chakra
Cool. This chapter was nice. Naruto should prob wipe his nose. Sasuke name should be 2face!
@tensai-teki: the shadow clone jutsu uses a ton of chakra, so, its forbiden to people who would use it and then die because the split their chakra to much
Man the way it’s looking, Konoha might be destroyed. What with Sasuke seemingly hell bent on killing everyone, not to mention Pein who’s also headed there. I wonder if any characters will be killed off.
I feel that sasuke is up to something cunning. He pretty much fooled everybody with some antic. But if I was to guess I would say he was just going to kill the elders nothing more.
Nameless, I predict, like any good fortune teller, the obvious… 1. Pein will take out Tsunade 2. Saskue will fight at full strenght but not kill Naruto 3. Sai might turn on Danzo or get killed by Saskue 4. Shizune might fight Kohnan
Lord of Sand: What are you talking about? also he’s not some idiot savant, he’s just psycotic and unpredictable
Sorry for my freaking late comment. It is hard to be a Narutard and a scientist at the same time.
Well, well. I just got some things to mention (I am not quite sure if they were already.).
1. The Legend of the Gutsy Ninja very much appears, I am confident about it, to be the book that Minato read and commented about in front of Jiraiya if you recall previous manga chapters. Naruto’s name was originally the name of the main character of Jiraiya’s book, reason for which Minato and Kushina named their son Naruto. It is not mere coincidence that the main character’s name is Naruto. It was his name all the time. It was not given right when Jiraiya was dying. The only thing Jiraiya did before going down the drain was give the book a title, “The Legend (or story) of Naruto Uzumaki.” The prophecy Jiraiya received revolved around the book that he was foretold to write.
2. That was a freaking horrible transition Kishi. Not only did it confuse everybody timewise but also showed an enormous silly mistake. If this (Madara-Sasuke Starbucks Conversation) was a flashback, then why the heck did Sasuke have those ripples on his chest since that was prior to the 8tails battle? Bad editting. I believe that was a flashback indeed. Sasuke, before the flashback, didn’t say, “Madara, I wan’t a psycho-therapy before I go to Konoha.” Also, there was not any way his team, or least himself would have healed so quickly.
This is it, dudes. Study hard.
Jiraiya’s code has already been deciphered, i mean it’s pretty obvious, the real one isn’t there. As in the real Rinnegan user isn’t there, why do people still obsess over it? An ability of the rinnegan may be to control others like a puppet technique, not necessarily to reanimate the dead as Jiraiya never stated that he killed those people, just that he met them, he left the scar on that one guy so the guy must’ve survived.
Boy boy boy, long time no see mart1. Personally i dunno ive been looking at the manga and when Naruto finally has his fight with sasuke it isnt going to be easy, but sasuke is gonna get smashed differently. In my opinion. Go Naruto, also ive been watching and reading Bleach to just as good i think. Not better though
Also, I forgot to say (I always forget something.) something about the book Naruto was reading. I think he was starting to read it and not finishing it, because if you remember, Japanese books are read from right to left. He was actually starting to read it, hell yeah! This particular observation accounts for the introducing of the character (I’m talking about the name which was about to be called out.) at the end of a seemingly last page, when it actually was at the first page or pages. Just who the heck introduces a character at the end of a book?! Furthermore, Naruto is not fast enough to read a book in the time it would take Sasuke to get to Madara’s hideout. Come on! Naruto is freaking stupid! He is an idiot! He can’t read something so fast! Maybe Kishimoto, submerged in his love for DBZ, thought Naruto was in a time room like Goku was at Kamisama’s temple!
Kishi, please surprise us this Friday!
Forgive the spam, but…when will I be promoted? I’ve a Genin forever.
*I’ve been a Genin forever.
u think genin is back dude seriously exanimer+ pluis is hard jounin takes FOREVER to get elite is jsut worst
umm nice rank nef
If the Raikage coming to get is little brother he better do it fast because as soon as Pein and Konan get Naruto they will seal the 8 tails and the 9 tails. And I still want do what madara got in plan for sasuke.
hmmm.. i wanna see raikage pwn some akatsuki
i doubt killerbee will go down with a fight that small.. he will be back?!
Killerbee and Raikage vs Sasuke and his healing krew?
