Kakashi Hatake Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/646/ New chapterSasuke's hair is getting to look very much like that of Madara and Izuna. Really, that's the hair I imagine when I think 'Uchiha' even though most Uchihas had pretty regular looking hair. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merci Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 [spoiler=This chapter]Well. I wasn't expecting the Juubi's final form to be like that. At all. But I'm also strangely happy at the same time, since I really love the concept of tree eldritch abominations, a lot, like, seriously. Incidentally, maybe this is why Wood Release is so powerful, despite how innocent it sounds. Hiruzen finally did something useful (I'm relieved that Kishi hadn't forgotten about him) and the Nidaime finally used a Water Jutsu (also relieved there). And I loved all that backstory too, even if it's a little bit cliché. It would probably make for a good folktore tale. Fruit made me think of One Piece. Although, learning the Sage of the Six Path's real name kind of takes away some of the mysticalness about him, and am I the only one who thinks 'Hagoromo Ootsutsuki' is a pretty lame name? Makes him sound like some kind of idiot. Wonder how they're going to deal with the Shinju. How many people will die? Will they still retain their chakra once this is all over and done with? Find out next time on Naruto Shippuden! ...I'm expecting Killer Bee to be absorbed right about now. ......And Sasuke will definitely get one last powerup. .........Madara mentioned Hashirama's huge chakra again. I really wish Kishimoto would explain this already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Huh. Interesting story I suppose.I wonder if that was intentionally similar to the story of how Adam and Eve corrupted humanity. Glad Hiruzen's back and that Tobirama's using water jutsu as well. I think I know what'll happen next.Naruto and co are going to destroy the moon o____o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've always loved how the backstory Madara and Obito revealed felt like folklore, although I don't mind that we now know the name of the Sage of the Six Paths. Well, if this is truly the Juubi's final form, then I guess I have no reason to hope for Bee to get absorbed so we can see it. I'll admit, it's kind of interesting to consider that the Juubi is really the manifestation of God's rage, although I didn't consider the similarities to Adam and Eve. I did, however, think of One Piece when they talked about how a fruit cursed people. Not to mention this makes perfect sense considering the bulb on the back of the Juubi, and we didn't have much else to go after Kishimoto beat Game Freak to the punch by introducing Mega Venusaur. With Hashirama's chakra, it could just be that he inherited the majority of it since he was the older brother, although that's a strange way for biology to work, especially since the Senju are descended from Hagoromo's younger son.

Strider Tigerwolf Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Jack and the bean stalk -> chops the tree. Now we just need a namekian or some other pseudo dbz character to nuke the moon and the earth will be saved! Thanks to...the powerpuff girls!

Fusion X. Denver Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Oh yeah, I don't mind knowing the Sage's name either. And not that I know anything on the subject, but it does sound like an older/sophisticated name compared to everyone else in the cast.I'm kind of sad we won't get to see another monstrous form of the Juubi, but oh well.

Flame Dragon Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I also thought of the Adam and Eve story during this. Also, didn't the 3rd take a "no recovery ball" to the face? Meh, w/e. Should be interesting seeing how things for from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, w/e. Should be interesting seeing how things for from here.IIRC, it's not that the black stuff completely disintegrated them, but that it severely hindered the regenerative process. Since Hiruzen still had a lower half, he was able to stay and grow back.So Minato's arm should come back relatively soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vla1ne Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 the history was a nice addition to the story and it held a few references to the bamboo cutter and the bible. but I wonder how the folklore will play into the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this does relate back to Adam and Eve, so the God Tree could simply be an amalgamation of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. And this is why I think the mythology in this series is so interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 The one thing I disliked about this is how the Uchiha stone has everything written on it. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I am gravely disappointed by the Juubi's final form... A tree? Really? Then why didn't the tree bud bloom during the era of the Sage's mother and cast an Infinite Tsuky then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why didn't the tree bud bloom during the era of the Sage's mother and cast an Infinite Tsuky then? I literally just pointed out that it's symbolic of the Trees of Life and Knowledge. It wasn't being used for Infinite Tsukuyomi back then. All it wanted was to kill people to get its chakra back, not put them into an everlasting slumber.

Phantom Roxas Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Most likely, since Madara did cite that the only reason he knows all this is much of what's written on the Uchiha scripture. I imagine that the text is extremely tiny, and the reason you need different levels of dojutsu is to see whether or not you're "worthy" of learning certain information. Do we even know who designed it and how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 The Sage's older son seems like a good candidate. That would be his way of passing down history to those who would succeed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm sure he would want to prove that his legacy would prove to be greater than his brother's, so he left behind clues for his descendants to use, and since the Sharingan is a trait passed down from him, it's possible that he performed genjutsu on the tablet, and the dojutsu is actually meant to see through it. I really do want to know how the Hyuuga factor into all of this. I think we all know that both clans are descended from the elder son, just like how the Senju and the Uzumaki clans are descended from the younger son. The Senju and the Uzumaki were apparently on very good terms, but I don't think we've gotten a clear idea of how the Hyuuga and Uchiha view each other.

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Here's the latest chapter folks, http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Naruto/Naruto-647--Regrets?id=175261 [spoiler=Thoughts]It felt all over the place around the start but started to focus around the end.

Fusion X. Denver Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 It's hard to sympathize for the shinobi forces since they've had their a*ses carried for them for the past few chapters and now they're wimping out.Lots of feels with Naruto though. Literally no idea what'll happen next though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means, don't worry things are going to turn bad and then we'll show up and change the playing field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
